"We've talked to a number of teams in front of us about the possibility of moving forward. It's all preliminary discussion," general manager Mickey Loomis said on Tuesday. "We've just expressed a desire to talk about it with a number of teams."

Break down of the amount of draft picks & 1st round draft picks for each school since 2000. Ohio State is tied with Florida State at 13 first round draft picks, for 2nd place. Miami leads with 25.

I think it is a pretty stupid rule that the NFL will not allow the second team in the draft to negotiate with a player even though the #1 pick has been signed to a contract. I think after this draft they might rethink that rule. Why should only the first team drafting have that privilege? What difference would it make if the second-team also reached a contract agreement with their pick prior to the draft... makes no sense to me.

less drama and suspense on draft day equals less viewers, I'm surprised they let teams negotiate with the first overall pick and let that cat out of the bag

I know that crossed my mind but St. Louis is getting screwed this year if they end up with a holdout.

Way to go, Dennis Dixon!
Is Manningham a surprise to anyone? I mean, really. Guy is as dumb as a box of rocks.
