I don't see a trade up happening. It just doesn't seem to vibe with what we've heard from Nix and Co. A trade down does though, especially if their man isn't there. If Berry slips to #9, I could see the Eagles drooling to get up. Here's some ammo for that:
I'll say first that if he doesn't, it increases the chances of one of the top 3 OTs sliding to us, which would be fine with me. But if he does, they could look to package #24 and #37 and maybe a 6th to move up to #9 and get him. We would then have three guys between #24 and #41, which is a healthy bunch in this draft. I'll let you ponder the possibilities, but I could see LT, DT and OLB getting knocked off the need list pretty quickly if that were the case. Given the choice between this direction and the one Pat mentioned in another thread (Spiller/Tebow), I'd take this one.
