I think the Mike Williams move may be enough to prevent us from taking Mike Evans. I do think Evans is still a possibility but very diminished. OT is still a possibility at 9; maybe more likely now. The thought against that move would be taking a LT prospect at 9 when we have a solid LT already. But you certainly can play a LT prospect at RT. However, we could just simply go after a RT prospect later. If the WR move has diminished and if we'd rather get a RT prospect than a LT prospect, a move down may be something we're interested in.
But who might be willing to move up?
A write-up on draft day trade possibilities:
My first thought is a team that likes Manziel. I think he will be the one of the top 3 to drop. I'll throw out the disclaimer now, I have no idea what QB's will be drafted where. I am merely going by what I have seen recently.
Teams rumored to be interested in Manziel: NE (29th pick), Eagles (22nd pick)
49'ers rumored to be interested in moving up for a WR: They own the 30th pick
Eagles might want to move up for Evans:
Jets may want to move up (Ebron or Evans): They have the 18 pick
Saints might want to move up for a WR (Evans) or a CB (Gilbert): They have the 27 pick
Now. Using the outdated and inaccurate draft pick value chart (only option we have since there isn't a new version)
Bills pick 9= 1350
Jets 1st round pick 18= 900
Jets 2nd round pick 49= 410
Total= 1310
Eagles 1st round pick 22= 780
Eagles 2nd round pick 54= 360
Eagles 3rd round pick 86= 160
Eagles 4th round pick 122= 50
Eagles 5th round pick 162= 26.6
I think the Eagles deal could be their 1, 2, and 4 picks Total= 1190
Saints 1st round pick 27= 680
Saints 2nd round pick 58= 320
Saints 3rd round pick 91= 136
Saints 4th round pick 126= 46
I think like the Eagles, the Saints may give the 1, 2, and 4 plus maybe a late pick Total= 1046+ some small amount for a 6th or 7th
NE 1st round pick 29= 640
NE 2nd round pick 62= 284
NE 3rd round pick 93= 128
NE 4th round pick 130= 42
Again I think it would be their 1, 2, and 4 pick plus a late pick. Total= 966
What would our options be based on a move down with one of these teams?
I consider OL the big need now. G and RT specifically. Then TE, maybe WR still, SLB, and S. I think S may be a bit interchangeable as far as FS and SS goes but Schwartz may want a run support S so a SS may be possible.

Can't disagree with this. Matt Millen couldn't stop drafting WR's in Detroit and found the street very quickly. WR's have the highest bust percentage and no position is slower to develop.
