It’s draft day. It’s finally here. Let’s go!
• And, to me, what best defines this draft class is what’s happening with the teams between 10 and 14—in order, the Eagles, Titans, Texans, Packers and Patriots. I’m told all five of those teams have been making calls to teams above them about trading up and down. And it’s no coincidence that, in a year when everyone seems to be looking to trade down, it’s the group in that alley of picks that are looking both ways at this intersection of the draft.
“They’re going up because you start to run out of guys there,” says one head coach Wednesday night. “And if you’re there and you can’t get up, then you’re in no-man’s-land, and you’re looking to go back.”
