None of the top 10 picks are set. That's rare. All the draft sites and experts picks are all over the place. There could be a bunch of trades.
One of the reasons i think their could be a bunch of trades is because of the QB's. They are not getting a lot of hype. There is a lot of talk they are slipping a little in the draft.
If you look at the top 5 teams in the draft 4 of them have a need at QB. Anyone of them could be willing to trade down, pick up some extra picks and still be able to draft a QB they like. The rams already stated i believe they are willing to talk trade. So the top five teams are all possible trading partners.
Things could get crazy.
I already can't wait.
If I were picking tomorrow, I'd take Aaron Donald but like you said, this is going to be wild and I can't help but think that a Sammy Watkins or Khalil Mack could fall to #12.

I am thinking the same thing. I still don't buy the QBs falling, as I think a lot of scouts and GMs out there are blowing smoke to devalue some to these QBs. Can these teams that are picking high and of need of a QB afford to wait until the 2nd round? They would be forced to trade back into the 1st. Its a chance they are taking, and it may not turn out in their favor to waiting.

Clowney is the consensus top pick but do the Texans need another defensive player? They need a QB but IMHO there is no top
10 QB talent in this draft.

I agree about all the QB smoke. However, teams may remember the Lockers, Gabberts & Ponders of the world being WAY overdrafted & are a little gun shy possibly.
As I said before, I'd love to be Snead right now.

Can't disagree with that. It is a tough decision.
If you think Derek Carr is his brother, Johnny Manziel's game doesn't translate to the NFL, and Bridgewater is a game manager at best, then, yes, you'd probably pass, especially if Bortles is off the board.
But I do agree with the OP that with so much up in the air that this Round 1 could go a bit crazy.
Would love Watkins to drop in our laps but who the hell knows...
