With the 2010 NFL Draft spread out over 3 days, it will be interesting to see what kind of trades are going to be made after the first round. Normally, the St. Louis Rams would have 8 minutes to make their pick at the top of Round 2, but this year they have all night. A night to go over their choices and a night to field offers.
With the draft as deep as it is, there are two ways to look at it. Moving up doesn't make sense because you are going to get first round talent well into the second round. But there are going to be some very good players that teams may look to trade up to get. If you are looking for a defensive tackle, and Terrence Cody, Brian Price and Jared Odrick are still there after Round 1, do you get on the phone or play the waiting game? The same goes for the offensive line. Maurkice Pouncey, Charles Brown, Rodger Saffold and even Bruce Campbell might be available. If the receivers slip, you are looking at Golden Tate, Demaryius Thomas, Arrelious Benn and Brandon LaFell. Need a tight end? How about Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez and Ed Dickson. There is plenty of depth available at every position, not just the ones I have listed here.
With the extra night between Round 1 and Round 2 are teams going to make the trades to get the players they want? I believe there is going to be a lot of wheeling and dealing going on into the wee hours of the morning. It could make for an interesting Round 2.
