Nolan places the chances of trading for Seattle wide receiver Darrell Jackson at 50-50. According to Nolan, if the trade is finalized today, it will have no affect on the team's draft plans.

Patrick Willis will compete with Derek Smith for the starting weak inside linebacker position. Willis has been placed ahead of Hannibal Navies on the depth chart in the third-down package. Nolan said Willis will have to win the starting job from Smith.
