Gil Brandt, an NFL guru, head of the personnell dept for the cowboys for many years, and a guy who is definitely "in the know" and who talks with Ted Thompson, along with tons of other GM's and Personnel guys weekly, just had an interview with Dan Papa and Randy Cross on Sirius NFL Radio: The Opening Drive
Here is the scoop. In this half hour interview, mind you the packers were not even mentioned at all. they talked almost exclusively about this years draft and past drafts for the NFL but did not even reference the green bay packers at all. But when the interview was about to conclude and they were about to say their goodbyes/thank yous, Gil Brandt basically told them, in so many words, that Ted Thompson is looking into trading down in the first round and a deal sounds like it might already be in place. My pick was Darrelle Revis at 16, but Gil Brandt wouldnt just randomly throw this out there if it wasnt going to happen. It was really soo random and out of the blue that he HAS to know SOMETHING because the information was just so unexpected and unprovoked by the hosts or any other previous discussion. my new prediction for the first round is we trade down a few spots and pick up a Dwayne Bowe, or revis, lynch, nelson, etc.
BTW we'll see how right Gil Brandt is in 5 Days time!
