With less than two months until the three days of the nfl draft, teams already are looking at jockeys and treatment.

Each of the teams picking in the top four come the end of April – St. Louis, Detroit, Tampa Bay and Washington – had discussed trading its pick and move from his position, multiple NFL sources said Tuesday.

While there are plenty of teams looking to trade back, there is the usual paucity of teams  looking to trade up, which explains why deals near the top of the nfl draft are difficult to perfect.

Few teams want to move up in drafts and pay rookies any more than they already will make. As evidenced over the years, any player other than the quarterback who was drafted No. 1 is guaranteed to become the highest paid player at his position in nfl history.

This year’s nfl draft, to be held April 22-24 in New York, is considered rich in talent and many teams, especially the ones hamstrung in their payrolls, would rather have quantity than quality.

It’s also entirely possible that Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford, and quite possibly Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen, are going to be drafted higher than they’re being forecasted to go right now, according to team sources. Teams that need quarterbacks might be even more willing to move up.
