Joe Thomas is thought to be the only franchise T in the draft
Brady Quinn looks real good to QB-hungry teams
Adrian Peterson has crazy RB talent
Given the needs of the teams in the top 5, there's a good chance one of those guys falls to 6. I think people are assuming one of them will be there for us, and that someone will want them. I think chances are, we'll be fielding a couple offers.

Good summary of the marquee players that other GMs could fall in love with enough to cough up some picks. I think the Cards are the wild card in all this, but they may field offers to move back too. Minnesota is an interesting scenario too, they might want to move up a few spots to get quinn.
Overall, we're not in great shape at #6 because most teams will know we're not seriously interested in these guys, or teams interested in these guys will want to move up higher than 6.
If CJ were to fall, maybe we'd take him, but that's unlikely he'd slip to 6. Now that Denver signed Bly, they may not be in the running for the 6 pick. Houston might be a possibility, but to move up 2 spots we're not going to get a lot of picks from them. We'd be lucky to get a 2nd.
