With 76 combined picks, these seven teams can control draft

By Vic Carucci | NFL.com

One way or another, seven teams have a chance to make this one of the more interesting NFL drafts in years.

At the very least, they will do so by executing all of their combined 76 picks -- their original choices, plus those they received from the league as compensation for free-agent losses, and through trade.


At the very most, they could end up swinging a flurry of deals to add current picks, future choices, veteran players, improve their draft position, or all four.

After trading defensive end Jared Allen to the Minnesota Vikings earlier this week, the Kansas City Chiefs boosted their NFL-leading total picks to 13.

The Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, and Chicago Bears have 11 choices each. The Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, and Carolina Panthers have 10 apiece.

Keep a close watch on these teams. One way or another, they will be extremely busy this weekend filling needs and enhancing other spots.

There are going to be a lot of trades going down this weekend. Let's hope the Bills can pull off a couple good ones.

I think too much is being made about our 10 picks. Three of them are in the 7th rd. I remember last yr when we picked AhYou the FO said that at that point there weren't many draftable players. So while its nice to have the picks, theres not real substance there.

5th , 6th and 7th round picks are really just for letting you getting the best shots-in-the dark players.
