I factored in 3 trades in the 1st round.
I have Denver moving up to 8 for Sanchez.
Philadelphia moving up with the Texans to 15 for Moreno.
Tampa Bay moving up to 16 for Freeman.
The Texans get Mathews at 21 and swap our 3rd for their 2nd

If Aaron Curry fell to 8 or 9, I'd favor trading up to get him. He's the best defensive pick in the draft. The value-chart difference between #15 and #9 is a low-2nd (or high 3rd for #10) so we might have to overpay to do it, perhaps deal #15 plus our 3rd and 5th or maybe offer #15 plus a 5th and a 2010 2nd.

Curry is the one guy I'd trade up for.

I really can't wait to see where Everette Brown gets drafted. If this comes to fruition, I'm trading up with Pittsburgh at #32 to draft him.

I agree. This draft class is really hard because from about 10 on its a crap shoot because they are all close in value.
