NFL ESPN Expert, Adam Schefter, joins Bruno and Mayes with 31.5 hours and counting until the draft and weighs in with his opinions. Schefter confirms that there is a chance that Any Reid could trade down for Kansas City but he doesn't know if he sees that happening. Oakland could be the first spot that we see trade activity. Who are some of the teams that we could see trade up? Teams like Miami and Atlanta would like to move up but teams like Cleveland, Jets, or Arizona may move up to get someone like Lane Johnson. Watches may see teams waiting to draft a quartarback until the picks 20-25 but Schefter believes that something miraculously may happen and, every team that is in search of a quartarback, will start to draft and we could see 4 quartarbacks go in those next 12-15 rounds. Schefter says there are many uncertainties in this draft but he knows Lane Johnson won't be on the board for long.
