DRAFT NFL Draft Rumors


When SF traded for 3 I immediately thought it was 5 QBs in 5 picks. I'm sticking with that tonight, the demand will cause a huge rush to get the final QB.

JAC - Lawrence
NYJ - Wilson
SF - Jones
ATL - Lance
CAR - Fields
 
If I remember correctly I think Rich Camarillo forget to punt the ball on or near the goal line...it was a game for the ages

I honestly think Carolina feel that Darnold can be rehabbed and made into a good QB. As bad as Darnold has been in recent years, it could be a product of an awful o-line, little or no receiving weapons, and poor coaching. He will have an upgrade in all three areas in Carolina. I doubt they will take Fields if he drops to him. I think the only team currently in the top ten that would take him is Denver at this point. But I still think he might drop into the teens.
 
Learned many years ago that no matter what I think BB will do on draft day, it is usually wrong. Recall very vividly my "Who the @#$# is Logan Mankins????" comment many years ago. Until now, I honestly have never had any gut feelings on what they will do. But this year I just feel that if Fields is there at 7 BB will do what it takes to get him.

Even if they think that, no responsible team is making a reclamation project their big plan A going into the season.

If Ryan is planning on playing more than one season, Atlanta would be dumb to take a QB there. Pitts would completely transform that offense and make Ryan’s job a lot easier. If he’s planning on leaving after the season, a QB makes more sense. Here’s how I have it...

1. Jax - Sunshine
2. Jete - Wilson
3. SF - Fields
4. Falolcons - Pitts

Yeah, anyone who thinks teams like the Panthers/Broncos/Saints (I'd even put us in this category) will be happy to just build around a bridge-tier QB is delusional and probably just trying to come up with a scenario in which a QB falls to a pick we can reach. We can probably safely assume that some of these bridge QBs will indeed start the bulk of the season, but it won't be due to a lack of trying to upgrade. It's just that there aren't enough QB prospects to go around. We just have to hope we aren't the odd ones out.
 


That only becomes true if another team moves up or someone takes him early. Reality is we will probably never know unless the Pats jump up which would be 100% out of their comfort zone when it comes to future draft picks.

yes, something unusual, something that might happen to a team that hasn't needed to draft a starting quarterback in over 25 years (other than last year)
 


Pats will go with best defensive player on the board. Lombardi has worked in that building before and knows things. If he falls to the Pats at 15 they'll trade down for a good haul then probably trade back into the late first round. They do have a big gap in picks between their 2nd and 3rd rounders.

Broncos, Cowboys, and Giants are looking defense as well. My thoughts are:

Broncos - Parsons

Cowboys - Surtain

Giants - Horn
 
All the conjecture is particularly fatiguing this year, especially when it comes to QBs. Every single "report" is contracticted five different ways by five different sources, oy vey. Just want this to be over and for the Pats to have someone who can throw the ball under center. As Jim Murray says: "ABC, anybody but Cam".

Teams do it all the time. Well,not all the time, but frequently. Darnold sucked last year, but he wasn't awful his first two. Nothing special, but he did show flashes.
