Todd Button was the on the radio Friday talking about how the top end is deeper than they initially thought. He said instead of being 4-6 players deep they think it is more like 8-9 players deep. "The depth never ceases to amaze me." Deep into the second and maybe third.

Sounds like they're pretty comfortable at #6 if they don't move up. I wonder if a trade down with Buffalo at #8 is a secondary possibility if their list is really 8-9 deep at the top end. #8 + #16 for #6 and ???.
