The Washington Redskins may have become the strongest contender in the battle for Michigan wide receiver Braylon Edwards at the No. 2 overall pick after positioning themselves with the Nos. 9 and 25 overall picks.
According to numerous sources, the Redskins have contacted San Francisco, the Dolphins, Cleveland and Chicago about the chance to move up to one of the top four spots to get Edwards.
The Dolphins told the Redskins that if they wanted Edwards badly enough they would have to go to no later than the No. 2 spot to get him. Dolphins coach Nick Saban has told other teams interested in Edwards he will take him despite the widespread belief in the NFL that Saban will take a running back such as Ronnie Brown of Auburn.
The only exception to this is if San Francisco changes its mind and does not select Utah quarterback Alex Smith with the No. 1 overall pick.
As for cornerback Patrick Surtain, Thursday came and went with seemingly no progress on a possible deal with Kansas City, a source close to Surtain said.
On Wednesday, Kansas City president Carl Peterson indicated time is running out to complete a deal for Surtain. That deal likely would have to be done by today based on what Peterson was saying.
But a deal involving the No. 2 pick likely will have to wait until the Dolphins are on the clock Saturday after the draft begins at noon at the Jacob Javits Center in New York.
''Nobody is doing anything until they're sure what the 49ers are doing,'' said an executive whose team has shown interest in trading with the Dolphins to get Edwards.
That includes the Dolphins, who likely would take Smith if the 49ers don't. The Dolphins still might trade Smith. Tampa Bay, which has the No. 5 pick, has shown interest in Smith and might be willing to put together a package of picks to lure him from the Dolphins.
In addition, the Buccaneers also are interested in Edwards, but not as strongly as with Smith.
Minnesota, which has the No. 7 and 18 picks, also has contacted the Dolphins about trading up to get Edwards. However, a source indicated the Vikings will not give up both high picks to move up.
That leaves Washington as the team that might be most willing to deal, given the Redskins' history. In the five years Daniel Snyder has owned the Redskins, the team has traded up once, and used the No. 10 overall pick in 2003 to get wide receiver Laveranues Coles as a restricted free agent from the New York Jets.
Snyder is known in NFL circles as more than willing to do something he considers splashy in either free agency or the draft. In the past, he has signed high-profile players such as Bruce Smith and Deion Sanders and traded for running back Clinton Portis.
とにかく、RBとなんとかQBをゲット！！

The Minnesota Vikings have admitted interest in moving up in the first round of Saturday's NFL Draft, but a swap with the Dolphins appears unlikely.
During a pre-draft news conference Thursday, Vikings Director of College Scouting Scott Studwell said there were "a couple players" who were enticing enough for Minnesota to consider surrendering its two first-round selections (No. 7 and 18) to acquire an earlier pick. But the Vikings don't expect such a trade to happen after recent talks with the teams holding the top three picks: San Francisco (No. 1), the Dolphins (No. 2) and Cleveland (No. 3).
"I think the likelihood of us doing it is probably remote, but there are some players there that we really covet for our football team," Studwell said.
It's believed Minnesota's desire to trade up stemmed from an interest in University of Michigan wide receiver Braylon Edwards, but as indicated by a source earlier this month, the Dolphins also appear to have strong interest in Edwards.
Studwell downplayed the importance of finding a rookie replacement for Moss, who was traded to Oakland.
"First of all, you can't fill Randy Moss' shoes," Studwell said. "Randy is a very rare, unique, exceptionally talented football player. For us to expect or even anticipate drafting a player this year that's going to be the next Randy Moss, it's not realistic."
Said Vikings coach Mike Tice: "If that's your goal for us in the draft, I suggest you spend the next two days changing your goals because that's not going to happen."
FOXSports.com has reported that Washington contacted the teams holding the top four picks Wednesday also in hopes of snaring Edwards. The Redskins have their own first-round pick at No. 9 and acquired No. 25 earlier this week from the Broncos, but it appears the Redskins may not be able to offer the kind of attractive package needed to make such a leap.
How the top of the draft unfolds will likely depend on whether San Francisco is able to reach a contract agreement with Utah quarterback Alex Smith beforehand. If not, Smith would be an attractive target to the Dolphins as either a player or as trade bait.
