i think they are more likly to trade their 2 1st rounders to the texans and draft Bush.

While I see this as a distinct possibility, the 2 first rounders wouldn't be enough to move to #1. They would have to throw in at least a 2nd in 07 imo, perhaps more.

This is the right answer.  The Jets want Leinart, not Cutler, but the Titans will take Leinart, so the Jets will "settle" for Brick.  GUARANTEED.

Leinart does not have the arm to throw in any undomed stadium in the NE in the winter.

 

Jets have no interest other than trade value in Leinart.

Anyone have ESPN Insider? This was posted on ESPN.com's NFL page:

 

With the Rams possibly interested in moving up to grab Jay Cutler and the Bills willing to move down, a deal could be in the works, writes Todd McShay

 

Looks like even more love for Cutler...hey, if it benefits the Bills, I wont try to reason why some NFL teams have a love affair with the Vandy QB. I'm interested to see what the article says.

If Bills and rams swap 1st rounders I could see the Bills getting Justice there. What is the compensation to move up from 11 to 8? A third rounder?

Probably less than that...a 4th and a 5th.

 

Still though, why not make that trade and stockpile some more picks...especially if its only sliding down 3 spots where Bunkley, Ngata or Justice could wind up being there.

The biggest developing story in the last 24 hours is the Rams' increased interest in Vanderbilt QB Jay Cutler. The Rams are correct in believing the Cardinals are targeting Cutler with the 10th pick. As a result, the Rams have been working the phones trying to bait the Lions (No. 9) or Bills (No. 8) into a trade that would allow them to move ahead of the Cardinals for Cutler.

 

The Lions have not been overly receptive, as they have their sights set on Texas DB Michael Huff. Should Huff be off the board when the Lions go on the clock, they might change their mind. In the meantime, St. Louis will continue to work with the Bills, who have shown far more interest in dealing.

 

Bills coach Dick Jauron is reportedly eager to trade up for the two players he covets most from this year's class -- Virginia OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Ohio State OLB A.J. Hawk. Unfortunately, general manager Marv Levy does not feel it is prudent to mortgage a second-round pick to move up for Ferguson or Hawk. Although Levy isn't necessarily sold on the idea of moving at all, he is far more receptive to trading down.

 

Buffalo isn't as wild about the top two defensive tackle prospects -- Haloti Ngata (Oregon) and Brodrick Bunkley (Florida State) -- as most are led to believe. A source tells me Levy prefers Ngata because of concerns regarding Bunkley's character and ability to adjust to cold winters in Buffalo. The coaching staff, on the other hand, covets Bunkley because he's a far better fit in the new one-gap penetrating scheme.

 

Jay Cutler

The Rams would love to get their hands on Jay Cutler.

 

The Bills also have extremely high grades on Cutler and Huff. Although it might be a long shot for the Bills to draft a quarterback after using a first-round pick on J.P. Losman in 2004, it is something that reportedly has been tossed around during draft meetings. Cutler might carry a higher grade, but the team likely would select one of the defensive tackles or Huff ahead of Cutler simply because of need.

 

The reason trading down has become so much more attractive for the Bills is because they're beginning to realize they can get a similar value in the low teens as with the eighth pick. Should they make a deal to move down a few spots to pick No. 11, Huff likely would be gone but Ngata or Bunkley should still be on the board.

 

The Eagles, who hold the 14th overall selection, also have contacted the Bills for a potential trade. The Bills likely would lose out on both defensive tackle prospects, but they have some other prospects (OLB Ernie Sims, OT Winston Justice and DC Jimmy Williams) -- targeted in that range, as well.

 

What's hard to figure is which prospect Philadelphia would value so highly as to make such a significant trade? There has been no leak from Eagles camp at this point, but my best guess would be Justice. Although Justice generally is considered a mid-first round prospect, there have been reports that teams such as the Cowboys (18) and Buccaneers (No. 23) have contacted the Ravens (No. 13) about moving ahead of the Eagles (No. 14) to select Justice.

 

Finally, if the Rams do get a deal done to move up for Cutler, it could put the Cardinals in a tough spot. Arizona had considered Sims as a strong possibility with the 10th pick, but recent reports regarding multiple concussions in Sims' past have forced the Cardinals to reconsider. At this point, Justice and Williams are back in the equation.

Bills deal #8 to STL for #11 and a 2nd or 3rd, then trade #11 to 14 for the same? Could happen but don't expect it to happen until just after the raiders make their pick

 

Intriguing article though regarding Jauron and Levy's thoughts (Jauron wants Fergussen or Hawk, Marv wants to stay at 8 or move down, and that they are not as interested in Bunkley and ngata as most think)
