MLive.com is reporting that the Broncos have traded up to the No. 10 position in this weekend's draft. Many have felt that if this were to happen, it would be to grab a player like LB Patrick Willis, who the 49ers would also like to draft at No. 11.
This has not been confirmed by any other media source yet. Rumors are common in the hours leading up to the draft.
Update: Adam Schefter of NFL Network has reported that this rumor is false and that no trade has taken place and that the Broncos and Texans have not had a single serious discussion about swapping picks. Schefter also says that the Broncos would never do a deal like this before the draft.

Have the 49ers anointed Brock Purdy too soon?
As the sun rose over the horizon, fans of the San Francisco 49ers came from all over, with great anticipation, as General Manager, John Lynch, slowly trudged his way upon the hill, disappearing into the fog for just a moment, and reappearing with Kyle Shanahan, to proclaim Brock Purdy the heir to the 49ers' QB throne.
