Real Shake-up

Denver just moved up to the No. 11 spot, trading with St. Louis, and took Jay Cutler. Looks like the Broncos decided a couple of things: 1) they weren't going to take a chance on Cutler coming back to them at 15th overall, where they had a pick that originally belonged to Atlanta, and 2) Jake Plummer isn't exactly the QB of the future, and maybe not of their present. Someone in Denver must have looked at that AFC championship game tape this morning.

What this means - which I alluded to in the last post - is that both the Browns (the next pick) and the Ravens (the pick after that) could be pretty happy with what they get. On the board are the two defensive linemen they both seem to like, FSU's Broderick Bunkley and Oregon's Haloti Ngata. Both, naturally, like Ngata most. If, as expected, Phil Savage and the Browns take Ngata next, the Ravens will have Bunkley there. Of course, if that doesn't thrill them, they might, as Jamison Hensley wrote this morning, they could trade back for extra picks.

We'll know any minute.
