The Eagles and Patriots are typically draft movers.
But it is hard to say at this point, it really depends, there is no team that heads in to every draft saying "We're trading up no matter what!" It always depends on what happens in free agency, who said team really likes in the Senior Bowl (and others) and what happens at the combine.
So ask about a week before the draft and someone would be able to tell you based on the severity of the need, the player available and whether or not the team really likes the prospect or not.
For instance a few years back everyone and their mother knew the Ravens wanted Matt Ryan badly and this past year everyone and their monkey's uncle knew the Redskins and Jets wanted Matt Sanchez.
Really there is no way to predict who will trade up, who saw the Eagles moving up to take Jeremy Maclin? And everyone knew that the Ravens were offering the kitchen sink to get Matty Ice but they still didn't get him.
However if I had to place a guess right now I would think that the Redskins or Patriots would be big movers just because the Redskins really want Clausen or Bradford and they might have to trade up ahead of the Browns to get one of them. The Patriots need the most talented players they can get and they have a boatload of middle round picks to toss around, but they might not because they're known to trade down and gather picks.

I know they may pick at #6 or so but the Redskins are my first pick to move up. If St. Louis is looking QB (Clausen/Bradford) I imagine with Shannahan likely coming into DC he will want Bradford and if St. Louis plays it right they could swap picks, still get Clausen @ #6 & add draft picks. (Detroit, Tampa, KC, Cleveland are likely not in the QB market this year) I like that play ...

Originally posted by keylime_5 View PostI'm not saying they won't this year, but IMO it would be wise if they had as many draft picks as they can get this year after all that dealing last year that gave them only a few draft picks.
In the past three drafts combined, the Jets have had 8 picks in the first five rounds.

I'm hoping that a QB falls to 3 so we can trade back and get a few more picks. I really like Rolando McClain or Anthony Davis (if McClain is gone) this year and picking either at 3 would be a reach.
I think there could be a lot of people moving up if Suh somehow manages to last until 3 as well, though that is unlikely.

While Packers GM Ted Thompson historically has been notorious for trading down early, often, and overall whenever possible, I believe that he could be in line to trade up into the teens to grab one of the top OTs. I think that when he inherited the team, there needed to be so much roster turnover (they had a WR whose first name was "Taco"), that early on he just needed bodies and value. As last year's trade up for Clay Matthews illustrates, I think he knows now that the base of his roster is pretty good, and at this point a solid starter at an important position is going to help a lot more than a horde of later round guys.
