Schneider on Round 1: 'We may pick at 9, we may not.'
John Schneider says they may or may not make a pick at No. 9 overall. No real surprise; always a chance this team in particular trades back. They've been good w/ acquiring value trading back from late firsts — but they haven't had a pick this high since 2010.
