I like the PIT/Barton match, but not the trade down. I don't agree that he's an overdraft in the 20-30 range and there's no guarantee he makes it past MIA or DAL.
I doubt the Packers would need to move up for DeJean at this point.
I kinda need to know why I keep hearing that OT is a pressing need for the Bears. Braxton Jones is young, inexpensive and the physical LT prototype. The CHI brain trust says nothing but positive things about him. He finished 2nd in pass blocking win rate among starting OTs last season at 96%, behind only Trent Williams. Jones also finished tied at #5 with Tyron Smith in run blocking win rate among all OTs. That's ahead of Penei Sewell. It just feels like if Jones had 1st RD instead of 5th RD on his player bio there would never be a single mention of replacing him.
The Rams almost certainly would not take JPJ at 19. They have Steve Avila ready to play center (that was his best college position and Avila played guard last year for the Rams), and the team not only re-signed their own outstanding guard, Kevin Dotson, but they signed Jonah Jackson in free agency as well. The iOL for the Rams is set.

Ditto on what The Champ said about LAR/JPJ.
