Draft is less than a week away, some crazy trades so far... who do you guys like for your team??
GO!!!! |
|
I'm not tin foil hat, sports are rigged guy, but the Rams got the #1 trade because the NFL wanted them to have it. The Rams have to be in the spotlight AND be successful all year long. And having their name be the first name King Roger gets up and says next week is the right place to start.
That being said, moving to LA doesn't mean the players don't suck and the ownership doesn't suck. |
|
Quoted:
I'm looking forward to Belichick reaching for a player with a 6th round grade in the 2nd. Yeah, he definitely does have a tendency to grab players much sooner than their projections suggest they can be grabbed. I suppose he gets away with it because of that one time he drafted a number 1 pick at 199. |

That being said, moving to LA doesn't mean the players don't suck and the ownership doesn't suck. I disagree, the Rams gave up a lot of picks in order to move up and if they take a QB and he shats the bed then that may push the franchise back for 3-4 years. |

Quoted:
Hoping the Ravens get Jack or Ramsey, if we knew for sure Jack was healthy, he would be my number 1 pick. I'd also be good with tunsil if he was going to be the next ogden. I'm guessing they're going to go with a LT since Monroe can't be counted on for anything besides an injury. I'd try and get back into the early 20's if Apple is still there but that isn't Ozzie's style. |

I'd even be fine with buckner, I really want a standout defensive player with our first pick. The defense hasn't been itself since lewis and reed left. My thinking behind jack, is that he would pair amazingly well with mosley. And if the Ravens needed a safety, I'd love for them to grab Joseph in the second round. |

I wouldn't be shocked if both Buckner and the Ramsey were gone at 3 and 4. As far as Jack I'd stay away from players who have suffered a major injury in the last year or so. |

In. Colts better use first 3 picks on o line. If they draft a receiver 1st again I'll lose my shit. Well last year they desperately needed help on defense and pretty much all they drafted was offense so I wouldn't be shocked if they royally fuck it up again. |

I can see them trying to trade up for Treadwell because I don't see him there at 24. If he isn't then I don't think they'd bat an eye at Doctson if he's there. Quoted:

Hoping for a monster DT for my Bengals or possibly a trade down a bit. I can see them trying to trade up for Treadwell because I don't see him there at 24. If he isn't then I don't think they'd bat an eye at Doctson if he's there. The Cowboys traded up from 27 to 24 to get Dez Bryant and all they gave up was a 3rd round pick in exchange for a 4th round pick. I think it's pretty much the same deal for the Bengals. If they really want Treadwell then moving up 2-3 spots would almost certainly be enough. Treadwell actually kind of reminds me of Dez the way he attacks the ball while most receivers seem to simply wait for it to come to them. I haven't seen Coleman and Doctson play enough to say whether Treadwell is decidedly the best overall WR in the draft, but based on what I've seen I do think he's the best at making plays on 50/50 balls and, all things being equal, will be the best in the redzone. |
A lot of "experts" are saying the 49ers will most likely use the #7 pick on Paxton Lynch. 
This makes absolutely no sense to me. First off, Lynch isn't a first round talent, much less an early first round talent. Secondly, if the 49ers really wanted him they could trade as far down as 28 and he'd pretty much be guaranteed to still be there. Even if all they got was one late 2nd round pick in exchange it'd still be better than nothing and they'd get the same player they wanted. |

The Rams traded a lot of valuable picks to a team that didn't really need the #1 overall pick anyways. The Titans came out way ahead in that trade. The Rams are desperate to draft a franchise QB and build a fan base this year and they made a big gamble on trying to accomplish that. They didn't need the NFL to rig anything. |

They would have to jump further than 3 spots as those are all WR needy teams. They would have to jump to atleast the 20th pick. Thats saying that the Raiders, lions and bills don't take a WR. Also Dez was coming off a 8-9 game suspension coming out of college. |

Give me two solid linemen and a LB. if they go offensive skill position in first 4 picks I will again lose my shit. Watch. They let TE fleener (he was pretty decent) go to give TE Allen (I like to get hurt) big bucks, they'll draft another TE with pick 2. |

I agree that would be terrible and I can honestly see the 9ers trading back into the first round giving up a 2nd and 4th or 5th round picks to get get to 25-27/28. I would count trading with the stealers unless Apple or another DB is off the board. The 9ers would be best served getting the best defensive player available or trade down a few picks and get Treadwell. I really hope that Seattle addresses the Oline with more than a 4th rd draft pick. |

I mean it's always possibly they could go WR, but I don't recall any mock drafts having them do so. And as far as Dez dropping: I was talking about doing what the Cowboys did to get Byrant. Waiting until he was still there a few picks away from you and THEN trading up to get him and giving up next to nothing to do so. Not why he was there.

They really should try to trade up to get one of the 3 LT in the top 10 unless you like to see Luck on his back as much as I do. They would be best served trying get the best Oline/Pass rush on the board if they don't trade up. |

I could see a McCarron and the 24th pick for the 20th pick and maybe add in a 3rd or 4th round pick. Shit that may just help out both teams equally. |
