There’s a million baseless rumors but recirculating is the idea that Dallas will trade up with Cleveland for Manziel. I’d love to stomp the Cowboys in a trade to get into the middle of the first round in this draft, but they’re so financially committed to Romo that it’s a long shot. ---

“When we come back, we’ll be commercial free for the next hour…” “Oh, cool! No, wait, there’s still 10 minutes between each pick.” ---

Hoping Jax takes Watkins so the Browns aren’t tempted themselves and maybe Atlanta or someone trades for Mack, although I think the Browns would just take him themselves. But I could see them moving down to 6 for Evans or… Manziel. ---

Houston was asking for 3 number 1s and a 2nd to trade for the first overall. People thinking the RG3 trade is the new normal is going to screw teams out of making deals if that keeps up. ---

Twitter blowing up about a huge surprise at #3, but no one I see spoiling it. Blake Bortles to the Jaguars at #3. ---

I think Bridgewater was actually a good pick for Jax, with the climate and the type of offense they’re looking to run. Now I wonder if Bridgewater survives until 26. I think the Vikings or Titans may take him. ---

Browns have traded down to the Bills. Getting exciting! Browns get #9 and a 2015 #1 and #4. Awesome move Cleveland, love it. ---

Not the trade I was expecting, but as long as the Bills paid through the nose, I’m happy. ---

I think Atlanta was interested in the pick, so if there was a legit bidding war, I’m hoping it’s at least a second rounder to trade down. 2nd and 3rd would make me very happy. Edit: Next year’s first rounder and a 4th rounder this year. Fuck yeah, double first round picks to move down 6 slots. ---

Oh Jaguars. Will you ever win? Dumb, dumb, dumb pick. That franchise is a trainwreck. ---

Lots of good options at 9. Evans, Dennard/Gilbert, Manziel/Bridgewater, Mosley, others. My guess is Evans, second guess Gilbert. ---

Oakland picks Kalil Mack. Huge upside at an impact position. Pretty good. ---

The Browns actually got a 4th next year, not this year. Given the depth of this draft, I don’t like it quite as much, but if the Bills have a top 10 pick next year, it’s pretty great to move down 5 slots for that.
