Plenty of rumors flying in the TwitterVerse right now. Thought I'd make a thread and throw in a few in case anyone else wants to read them:

And as for the bottom of the first-round dynamic we mentioned earlier, $$-wise, Jags, Jets, Bills, Browns have talked to teams with low 1s

Mentioned the Bills have explored trading down this week earlier ... Among others that have: Raiders, Browns, Cardinals, Jets, Dolphins.

CLEV, BUF, NYJ all have made inquiries about moving back into back portion of 1st round. 1st-rd QBs get 5-yr deals; 2nd-rd QBs 4-yr deals

AlbertBreer 2:51pm via Web
As PFT said, Browns aren't planning to trade up from 6. Trade back, of course, remains very possible. Oakland's pick, at 3, still for sale.

Last time a guard went in top 10 was 1997, when Chris Naeole went to Saints at 10. A guard WILL go in top 10 tonight. Book it

Teams wondering how real Jets intent to take Tavon Austin at 9 is. Some think smokescreen to create trade and NYJ go CB/DE if stay@ 9 and 13

Thought #49ers would be a match to deal w #Raiders for No. 3. So many picks, etc. Ran it by a source. Was told, "Uh, no." Source added "lol

Watching @StaceyDales say she believes via source #Bears will take Manti Te'o at LB if he's available. Matches what I have been hearing

JasonLaCanfora 1:07pm via Twitter for Android
How's this for a shocker: Several execs picking early in round 1 believe OAK will take corner DJ Hayden 3rd overall if they keep the pick

RapSheet 12:03pm via TweetDeck
#Colts getting a TON of calls about No 24 from teams wanting to move up. Look at history of this pick: Reed, SJax, @DezBryant, Aaron Rodgers

Darkhorse to trade up into the Top 10: Dolphins. They like Dee Milliner, feel they are a piece or 2 away. Add Albert, maybe Milliner. Done?

AlbertBreer 10:49am via Web
One other thing I keep hearing: Most physically gifted WR in this draft is actually Cordarelle Patterson. Maturity is the question w/him.


RapSheet 10:32am via TweetDeck
Yes, there ave been some inquiries into Ryan Mallett. My understanding is nothing is close with Browns/Pats. They like Weeden at this point

AlbertBreer 10:32am via Web
The Bills are among the teams that have done plenty of homework on trading down. Buzz is they may wanna drop to get a QB later in the round.

RapSheet 10:20am via TweetDeck
Yup RT @jeffphowe Source: The Browns have called again about Ryan Mallett. The Patriots want at least a second-round pick in retur

9:33am via TweetDeck
The #Vikings and #Bears love Manti Te'o. If Minnesota wants to grab him, they'll need to jump up over Chicago. That's what they plan to do

News/Notes 4-25 up: Oakland Raiders want to move down...NY Jets will look at QB options in the 1st: draftinsider.net/blog/?p=7032

As per one league source; "the mock draft community is overrating Shariff Floyd" Tennessee Titans at 10?

Joeckel apparently has been told by KC that Fisher is their pick.

SOURCE: With the #Chiefs reportedly taking Eric Fisher #1, Luke Joeckel is now at church, praying that the Jags don't take him #NFLDraft


Cowboys

“@DALCWBSMAVS: #Cowboys interested in Barrett Jones out of Alabama in the third / good player. Very bright. Cowboys DON'T love him tho

mike fisher ‏@fishsports 7h
