This story is total nonsense. Mort and Parcells did a radio show on ESPN before Parcells took the Miami gig. Parcells is looking to drum up interest for the #1 pick. Right now, there is none. So you get your buddy Mort to do you a favor, you leak to the media that "someone" wants to trade up. Matt Millen used to do this all the time using the Patriots name. Remember how the Pats were going to trade 2 #1 picks for Sean Taylor in '04? It gets the pot stirring, let's everyone know you're open for business and willing to take less than market value, and also allows Miami to float the idea to Dallas and see if they'll bite. There's no way JJones will do this. First of all, he knows Parcells would never take McFadden at #1, because Parcells has stated on TV he would never take a rb that high. And JJones knows no other team is going to trade up for McFadden. So if he really wanted him he would just trade with whoever is picking #2. This story is total hogwash.
IMO What Parcells really wants is to get an additional #1 pick and trade a late#1 and #3 for QB Derek Anderson, if /when the Browns tender him, assuming Anderson and the Browns don't strike a deal first.
Barring that IMO Parcells will draft QB Matt Ryan.
