a couple of days ago there was plenty of talk about this . . .

If this happens then I like the Bills chances a little bit more of Peterson falling to them.

Curious as to why? Would Houston take Peterson at 10? This hurts the Bills chance at Willis.If this happens then I like the Bills chances a little bit more of Peterson falling to them.

Maybe the Bills have decided they don't want anything to do with any guy named Willis ever again anyway.Curious as to why? Would Houston take Peterson at 10? This hurts the Bills chance at Willis.If this happens then I like the Bills chances a little bit more of Peterson falling to them.

I've seen quite a few mocks that have AP going to Houston at 10. And yes, this would hurt the Bills chances at Willis, although I think SF would probably take him anyway if Den didn't.Curious as to why? Would Houston take Peterson at 10?

There were plenty of mocks having Peterson dropping no further than Houston. If Denver now has Houston's pick, Mr. P is saying that he could drop further down to BUF.Curious as to why?

The deal wont happen until the texans are on the clock, and they wont trade out if Peterson is on the board.If this happens then I like the Bills chances a little bit more of Peterson falling to them.

I hope Peterson falls to 12. I see the Bills moving up for him more so. Carriker may go to San Fran so it will be wait and see for the Bills. Can't wait.There were plenty of mocks having Peterson dropping no further than Houston. If Denver now has Houston's pick, Mr. P is saying that he could drop further down to BUF.Curious as to why?

It was done as part of a mock draft. Bob Glauber and the other guy.
The other guy "MOCKED": Broncos givng up 1.21, 3rd, and 2nd next year, for 1.10 (Willis).
Not a done deal, has not happened, aliens have not attacked New Jersey.

Why...don't the Broncos have Willis in their sights? I can't imagine Shannahan ever drafting a RB that high.

Denver trading up tells me Willis, a DE or some other defensive player.

Maybe, maybe not. I've learned to never try to guess what Skeletor is up to.Maybe Skeletor feels All Day is slipping due to the recent collarbone rumors, and if he is gone, then take Willis...
But like I said, one can never tell what Shanny will do. But if I was a Henry owner, I'd take notice...

Nope. Patrick Willis makes a lot of sense here. Denver leapfrogged San Francisco and Buffalo.

thought i heard the other day that shanahan has never taken an rb in the first

If the Broncos move to #10, they're definitely targeting Willis. With Al Wilson just released, they have a gaping hole at ILB - Willis could step in and start from day 1.
There have been threads discussing this for a few days now, Denver is looking for an impact defensive player. DE and LB have been the most discussed as both their LB'ers are likely gone after this season and the D'line is already in shambles.

If AD were to fall, he'd certainly be tough to pass up at #10.

Reasons why it won't be Peterson:
1. Denver just gave Travis Henry $12 million in guaranteed cash.
2. Why move up to #10? Peterson probably won't last past Minnesota.
3. Shanahan has never used a top 30 pick on a RB. Things can change, but I'll bet on the trend.
It's Okoye or Willis. Probably Willis.

To me this begs the question of the timing of this deal. Why not wait to pull the trigger on the trade until the Broncos are certain the guy they want is there at 1.10?FWIW, if the Broncos have indeed traded up, its either for Willis or Branch.

ITL Notebook: April 27
You heard it hear first: Inside the League has learned that the Houston Texans, as rumored previously, will swap first-rounders with Denver later today in exchange for Denver's second-round pick this year, No. 56. The Broncos will select Mississippi IB Patrick Willis.

Broncos to Swap with Texans for No. 10 Overall

The Broncos would select Mississippi LB Patrick Willis.

Trades aren't always 11th hour. Two years ago the Skins moved up into the first before draft day to take Jason Campbell. ESPN called them on it. Gibbs was furious at them for posting the leak. It didn't matter. No one leapfrogged Washington. They took Campbell as expected. Teams can't just trade up for free. So if San Francisco or Buffalo just got swooped, they'll still have to move up to re-swoop Denver. Bottom line is probably that Denver has 2-3 guys they'd be happy with at #10. None of those guys would've been there at #21.

they will not tie up alot of $ in 2 RBs(henry and AP). Denver is in a win now mode

I agree with the questionable timing. The Niners would have plenty of ammo to make a counter move if Willis is the target. To leak the story/make the deal this early, there has to be multiple targets or it's part of a larger move to come (Briggs, move up again) IMO.

Updating ongoing reports, ESPN's John Clayton reports a trade between the Houston Texans and any other team will not happen Friday, April 27. If anything is going to happen, it would take place during the NFL Draft Saturday, April 28.

Texans GM Rick Smith was just on local radio and flatly denied that any deal is finalized and said that they wouldn't make a deal until they were on the clock and knew who was available.

Which of course is how they should do it. If someone slips to them they may want to take the player themselves, or may find a bidding war going on for their pick that will net them more.
