Team moves that will have a draft impact:

NFL teams with 3-4 defenses:
New England
Miami
Pittsburgh
Cleveland
Dallas
Arizona
San Diego
NYJ????
San Francisco????
Green Bay????
Denver???? (down the road if Capers goes there with McDaniel or Garret)

Junior QBs declaring: If Bradford declares, then he and Stafford are two QBs looking at 1st round grades, helping to push two more quality players down towards the Patriots' pick. It is possible they impact the Cassel sweepstakes, but I doubt it will be by much - if anything Pioli has good ammo to bid for Cassel with the Chiefs #34 pick in this draft and one or more future picks.

The National Football Post | Mangini Will Coach The BrownsFIVE THINGS I KNOW….
4. I know that Bill Johnson, the Broncos’ defensive line coach, is scheduled to meet with the Saints, Seahawks and Packers this week. And his meeting with the Packers will center on the 3-4. Going back and forth between the 3-4 and the 4-3 is not hard to do if you have someone who can play over center, and the Packers do in Ryan Pickett.
5. I know if Jason Garrett gets the head coaching job in Denver, he wants Dom Capers of the Patriots, and formerly of the Dolphins, as his defensive coordinator.
FIVE THINGS I HEAR….
2. I hear the Packers are committed to becoming a 3-4 defense. This must mean Mike Nolan is coming on board very soon.
3. I hear the Lions are looking to talk with Atlanta offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey about becoming their head coach. This might be good news since all the good young quarterbacks — Matthew Stafford of Georgia, Josh Freeman of Kansas State and Sam Bradford of Oklahoma – will soon declare for the NFL Draft.
