Some updates across the spectrum:

Mocks have us taking Jonathon Martin (3), Riley Reiff (1) and Dre Kirkpatrick (1)

Clayton reporting we are interested in moving up to get Barron

Schefter reporting we are open to moving back


If the choice is move back or Martin, for ****s sake move back. Martin does not impress me at all

Hearing we are looking to move up for Barron, Gilmore, or DeCastro. But at the same time, we are open to moving back.

Sounds like our main goal (possibly smokescreen) is to move up before we move down.

I agree, Jonathon Martin and Riley Reiff don't over-excite me at #23. Kirkpatrick would be ok though.

I would loooooove to get DeCastro. Not the sexist pick, but that kid is going to be an all-pro guard for a decade. Would really open up some room for the RBs

I don't mind Reiff. Martin is overhyped. Dre looks pretty good to me

I'd love to have him.

Trades have been crazy so far. Wish it would been that way when we are always top-5 (and yes I understand the rookie salary structure changed the game up)

LOL @ the Browns for giving up a 4th and 7th rounder to switch spots with Minnesota - a team EVERYBODY knew wasn't going to take their guy, Richardson. Not with Adrian Peterson there....

Only the Browns....

Not gurantee'd, Peterson's injury last year was pretty brutal. there was still a chance they'd take richardson, though highly unlikely

It wasn't about that. Minnesota prolly made it clear that other teams wanted to move up for him, so they secured the right to draft him. Really nice move by Minni, but Clevelands got enough picks that it isn't a huge deal
