Senior Bowl

Although the NFL draft is still almost three months away and the NFL scouting combine isn’t for another month, several team executives said Monday and Tuesday that preliminary trade talk is al-ready being bandied about at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.

In particular, there are several teams interested in moving back in the draft in hopes of obtaining extra picks in the second and third rounds. The reason is that because 102 underclassmen have entered the draft, this year’s draft is expected to be one of the deepest in many years.

“You’re going to see a lot of players who would normally be second-round picks end up in the third round. Same goes for the mid- to late-first round picks ending up in the second round,” one team executive said.

While this draft is expected to have a number of top-end stars available in the top 10, includ-ing defensive end Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina and quarterbacks Blake Bortles, Teddy Bridgewater and Johnny Manziel, some teams may opt for depth in this draft.

“If you’re in a rebuilding mode, I think it would be really tempting to move back to pick up a couple of extra picks,” said another executive, who pointed to Jacksonville as a team that would fit that profile. The Jaguars have the No. 3 pick and are in need of a quarterback, but also have needs at numerous other spots.

With it being such a deep draft it may be alot tougher to get a bunch of picks if we were to trade hardy. If we wanted a first for Hardy we may have to add a third or fourth rounder just because teams are going to want there 7 picks in a draft like this one.

Dee Ford's been the biggest story today. Dude's been wrecking the opposing offense as a pass rusher. Also, Carr has thrown a few incredible passes. Logan Thomas has looked awful (no surprise there), and Hewitt from Stanford has made a couple nice plays. Moses has looked good on a couple of pass pro opportunities.

Matthews just made a really nice over the shoulder catch against Desir to put the South in the red zone, but Desir got it back by picking off a pass intended for Andrews in the end zone. Really like Desir a lot. His recognition and ball skills are really good.
