It could certainly impact what the Broncos do with the 11th pick of the draft, but the Jaguars have made it clear to anyone and everyone in the league they are interested in moving out of the 10th spot in Thursday's first round.

Several general managers and personnel executives have said the Jaguars were actively pursuing deals with the intention of getting more draft picks, including a second-rounder to replace the one they surrendered in a trade in last year's draft.

So for the Broncos, who also are willing to trade if they don't see what they want to as the first round unfolds, it may be difficult to predict what will go on with the picks in front of them.

The most active scenario would be if Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen isn't selected by the time Buffalo picks at No. 9. If the Bills don't take Clausen, or if he isn't off the board already, then those who want him will be looking to move up and win the race for the quarterback.

But it's clear that the Jaguars want out, and the Broncos will have to be ready for whoever moves in.
