Charlie Casserly writes a few notes about the draft, speculating on the trade value of the top pick. He comments on how hard it will be to trade the #2 pick for the Pats, due to the $30 million guaranteed that has to be paid out, which most teams are reluctant to do.
Other notes: McFadden seems to be most tradeable commodity at this point, if he declares. The success of Peterson may prompt teams to trade up to acquire an elite talent. Dolphins will look to trade out of #1.
Scouts around the league see Matt Ryan as the consensus #1 QB, but not judged to be a special talent, the kind that teams will trade up for. Most feel he is a better prospect than B. Quinn, without the raw talent of J. Russell but with a shorter length to impact. Some liked him better than Russell. Brohm consensus #2. Then Woodson.
