Yep. I hope nothing happens.
Nothing happened, Joe Alt to Chargers. Maybe the Broncos and Vikings weren't quite as eager to trade up for McCarthy as all the rumors suggested.

Next likely spot I've seen for a trade is 8. Anybody else?

Giants also pass on qb, they were another team rumored to be interested in drafting one.

At 8, I'd rather stay at 11...

Yeah, don't trade for trading sake, but at some point you've got to think the Broncos are a threat to jump them.

I can really see the Vikings trading up to 8.

That would mean McCarthy or Pennix is available at 11. Still not worried about that. Let the Broncos overpay

According to Shefter, the Vikings asked about Herbert and the Chargers said no. Ballsy move by the Vikings...

Time to trade up for McCarthy. The cost should be low and I no longer want to risk losing him.

I was thinking the Bears would be a likely candidate to trade down, but probably Vikings don't want to help someone in their division with more picks.

Penix to Atlanta, that's unexpected.

ATL picked PENIX at #8. Oh wow. On sooo many levels.

Not a single trade yet either.
