For the second consecutive week, we're seeing Dan Williams trend down, albeit not by much. It is interesting that we're seeing both Dez Bryant and Sergio Kindle trend up. Of course, Kindle's movement up could be attributed to two of the top draft analysts - Mike Mayock and Gil Brandt (both with Parcells connections, by the way) - said during national conference calls that they think Kindle will be Miami's pick at number 12.
Texas safety Earl Thomas also makes his debut on our list. I guess the national media is beginning to take notice - especially since Thomas met with the Dolphins for a third time this past week. If that is indeed a smokescreen, then it seems to be working.
One last thing - from the "In My Dreams" file - did you notice the mock by Russ Lande from The Sporting News? He's the first person I've seen who thinks Eric Berry could actually fall to the #12 pick. I refuse to give up hope!
