Or maybe you need to understand that the writer accepts that if they think this kid is a DE with upside and they are targeting him they certainly can position themselves to have a pick where they see him going...

Decker taking draft drama in stride - Big Ten Network

BS: Which teams have you visited lately?

ED: Over a week's time that ended last Wednesday, I visited with the Patriots, the Panthers, went to Indianapolis for a medical recheck, then on to Kansas City, Denver and Arizona. It was quite a week.

BS: Which team are you hoping drafts you?

ED: It doesn't really matter. Any of the organizations would be fun to play for. Any organization that does well and does things right off the field would be ideal for me.

BS: Is there a team that you think fits you better than others, where you'd have a chance to start right away?

ED: I think those are the questions the team has to answer. When I went on my visits, it was funny. A lot of times it was the same philosophy. They ran the same offense and had similar ideas of what they wanted to do. They felt I could fit in and play inside or outside.

Dimitroff, the former director of college scouting with the Patriots, named New England, Philadelphia, Denver and Tampa Bay as teams which might give up a second-round selection.
