Most likely/probable draft day trades?

Question

First round picks only please.
Predictions welcome as well.

Answer 1

Oakland will trade down. Al Davis isn't getting any younger and he wants a plug and play QB. Not one who is going to need 4 or 5 years to develop. Brady Quinn can step right in and be a decent QB due to his exposure to a pro type system. Russell will take a few years to adjust. They want Quinn but know they can get him before pick 7. My guess, is the Raiders will trade with Arizona and where the Cards will take Joe Thomas and the Raiders will take Brady Quinn at #5. Of course, the Lions will take Jamarcus Russell.

I still think you will see the 49ers make a play for Calvin Johnson. Alex Smith has very few playmakers to throw to and it seems to me, the 49ers are making a statement this year during free agency that they are over the rebuilding stage and are in it to win it. Don't be surprised to see the 49ers make an offer to Cleveland.

Answer 2

Someone will move up to #2, with trades and free agency Detroit is a great position to deal the pick. Calvin Johnson would be the likely target of alot of teams. I also see a run on cornerbacks late in round 1

Answer 3

I think the Redskins will trade out of the #6 slot. There have been rumblings that something could happen with the Redskins swapping first round picks with the Broncos in exchange for Dre Bly, who wants to be a Redskins since they'd extend his contract, and likely overpay him.

Answer 4

If Randy Moss isn't traded by the draft, I can see Oakland trading Moss for less than what they wanted.
Because Cleveland signed Jamal Lewis, they might be leaning toward Quinn, or they might draft Adrian Peterson anyways and have him split time with Jamal Lewis, because they only have Jamal Lewis for one year.
