1. One more day and we can finally sift through all the bull -- and each team will have to show its hand. With so many rumors flying around, I thought I would touch on what I'm hearing as we head into the weekend.
2. The Rams, Chiefs and Jags are willing to move out of the top 10 for any price. I hear the Jags will not let Sanchez pass them if they have to stay at eight and make the pick. What they do with him once they draft him is another question for another time.
3. Buffalo wants to pick a pass rusher at No. 11 and will try to find a tight end or offensive lineman with the pick from the Eagles.
4. Don't rule the Chiefs out of picking Jason Smith from Baylor if they're not able to move down in the draft. I know they love Tyson Jackson but might not want to pick him at No. 3.
5. The Jets are all over the board. One team told me Thursday that it talked to the Jets, who said they would move back right now if the price was right. And then I hear they're moving up. One thing for sure, the Jets will be active Saturday.
6. The Browns seem to have a lot of balls in the air on the trade front. One of them was a slight interest in Ronnie Brown that was tied to Braylon Edwards, but it fell apart as the Browns backed off.
7. The Steelers will be willing to part with their starting inside linebacker, Larry Foote, at some point in the draft.
8. I really have no idea where Michael Crabtree will go in the draft. He's the best wideout, but from what I'm hearing, the Jags will not draft a wideout in the first round; they'll wait until the second. The Browns say they've backed off, but is that for real? Crabtree is a wild card right now in the top 10.
9. If Denver wants Mark Sanchez, it can easily acquire the third pick from the Chiefs, but does it want to pay the rate for the third pick? The cost is the real concern.
10. If Andre Smith is not available, it would not surprise me if the Bengals pick Ohio State running back Chris "Beanie" Wells. He's a top-10 talent.
11. From everything I'm hearing, the Hotel is locked in on wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey from Maryland. I know, I know, they could trade down and get him five picks later, but trading down is not an option in that draft room. It might be 2009 here in America, but in that room, it's 1960. (Side note: Raider draft story, 1985. When Herschel Walker was playing in the USFL, he was eligible to be drafted in the NFL. In the fourth round, it was agreed that the Raiders would pick him with their next pick at No. 107. When the person who was helping make the picks returned from a restroom break, he discovered that the Raiders had drafted Syracuse linebacker Jamie Kimmel. This person said to the owner, "I thought we agreed we would pick Walker," and the owner replied, "That's what you wanted, but you don't own the team." Ouch. Walker went seven picks later to Dallas at No. 114. That's the draft room in Oakland then, and it's the draft room in Oakland now.)
12. I feel strongly that Percy Harvin will go somewhere in the teens as he has too much playmaking ability to be overlooked. And it helps Harvin that all the coaches at Florida are in his corner in terms of his character.
13. I expect the Cardinals to pick a running back with their first pick and hear they love Donald Brown of UConn.
14. If the Seahawks don't pick Mark Sanchez and are telling everyone now they want a player who can help them next year, they would love Jason Smith but might consider Andre Smith.
15. The $20 million guaranteed that Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme just received has to make Donovan McNabb wonder what he's worth when he finally gets the Eagles to sit down and talk about his contract.
16. Don't be surprised if, at the bottom of the first round, you hear Western Michigan's Louis Delmas' named called. He's another hot player in the draft right now.
One more day ... we'll keep you updated with all the latest news and notes. ...
