More from @dpshow ... #Giants ownership wants Saquon Barkley. People in the building want Sam Darnold. #Jets like Darnold or Rosen.
Recent "common sense" rumor - If Cleveland doesn't feel there's much difference in the top 3 QB's, they could draft Barclay at #1 and take the Best Available QB at #4. (Note - threat of their doing so could extort an extra pick out of the Giants if NYG really wants Barclay).

The late swing of information sending Josh Rosen to the Jets is interesting. Careful who you trust this time of year...but that pick does make a lot of sense for Bates' offense.

The easy choice for the Browns is Darnold and then Chubb. That's a no brainer. But they have lots of needs and depth areas to address, so picking up another first rounder by trading with the Bills makes sense. They would still get 2 good starters at 12 and 22. They badly need a starting CB and OT. And both those R1 picks would do the job. They would still have 3 2nds to address their other needs of WR, DT, and even stud RB if Guise or Michel fall to R2.

Whatever they do, it will be very exciting this weekend to see how they make use of such a great draft situation.

#Falcons WR Julio Jones has made his Twitter account private and removed all of his Falcons connections. Is it time to panic, Atlanta?

If his account is now private... how do they know he has removed 'all' his Falcon connections :)

So far - most interesting lead up to the draft in a long time - Thursday is going to be exciting for most NFL fans

The #Jets desire for a QB at No. 3 is well-chronicled and you don’t trade up from 6 to 3 without a passer in mind. But worth mentioning: They’ve cancelled Top 30 meetings with top prospects who aren’t QBs… because they simply aren’t going in that direction.

Here's how I see it(Top 10):

1-Browns: Darnold, QB
2-Giants: Barkley, RB(Giants are in the catbird seat here and could find a possible trade partner in Buffalo with Buffalo having 2 1st round picks in their pocket)
3-Jets: Rosen, QB(Jets are on their yearly QB need but it might be hard to pass Chubb up)
4-Browns: Chubb, DE(Cleveland could also be a trade partner with Buffalo but they'd be foolish not to take Chubb here)
5-Broncos: Allen, QB or which of Darnold or Rosen is available
6-Colts: Mayfield, QB(This is my surprise top 10 pick if Andrew Luck remains a huge question mark. However, if Chubb falls, they'll take him, they have to)
7-Bucs: Fitzpatrick, S(Bucs need defense and Fitzpatrick is a beast safety. They could trade back though)
8-Bears: Nelson, G(Bears need an interior lineman and Nelson could be their guy here or they might go WR and Ridley here too)
9-49ers: Ward, CB(9ers need someone to compliment Sherman and CB is a need of theirs)
10-Raiders: Williams, T(The Raiders tend to be reachers unless it's a sure thing like Mack. They have several needs and tackle is the biggest IMO. They could trade down with us if the QB's start to thin out)

My list is by no means scientific but it's no worse than others.

.@RapSheet: "The Arizona Cardinals may be the team to watch at this point. They certainly seem like they’re making the most phone calls about possibly moving up for a quarterback ... it’s safe to assume that 5 or 6 could be potential slots to trade for a quarterback."

True. Cardinals making a lot of noise about moving up. Could mean they move up. … But they are definitely doing due diligence.
