McCaffrey!

Trevor Knight in the 7th. To convert him to a WR.

If they trade Jimmy G, it'll be Peterman I reckon. Three comps I've seen for Peterman are Garoppolo, Cousins and Derek Carr.

Less than a week away. What are your hunches/hot takes?

1. Patrick Mahomes will be the first QB taken.
2. Jordan Willis and Tyus Bowser both go first round
3. Either Gareon Conley or Kevin King will get taken before Lattimore
4. David Sharpe gets taken in Rnd 2. Early round 3 at the latest.

Only one I'd consider bold is #3?

They wouldn't be hot takes if they weren't

I thought "hot takes" were a no-no on this board: Wait.. is this Bizzaro Jerry?

We kept it sane for most of the year. Allow me one moment of madness born out of a moment of boredom.

For me, it typically goes the other way.

Ebukam

Ebukam has pretty much replaced my earlier fascination with Reddick, because he'll actually be available when we pick. Huge potential.

I only have two hunches when it comes to this draft.

1. Reuben foster isnt goin to fall out of the first round like some have speculated. Hes to much of a talent. I expect a laremy tunsil type fall.

2. Im only gonna cry a little bit when we dont take evan engram.

Tony Pauline says Langi won't make it out of the 4th round and might even go in the 3rd.

DA Draft Buzz April 22: Latest word from Miami & Cincinnati | Draft Analyst

Is there a thread for "wouldn't it be funny if"?

No so I'll mention this. Not a hunch but something to mention.

Wouldn't it be funny if the Patriots traded their backup QB to the Browns. Yes, that one, Jacoby Brissett who the Browns supposedly liked last year. I like Brissett but he's not a classic Patriots quick release QB. Watch them trade Brissett for a #2 then draft someone like Peterman in the 3rd.

BTW, I read from a Browns insider (who I trust but all info is iffy right now) that the Browns and Patriots have discussed a player. Not Garrapolo was clearly stated. Player (and which team he is on now, Patriots or Browns) wasn't named.

1) Goodell will get booed at least 32 times.
2) He will on at least one occasion point up to some random member of the crowd like he really cares what they think.
3) He will use the word integrity will be brought up at least three times.
4) Kipers hair will still look like Johnny Bravos just darker

Despite reality show driven process - ironically predictions seem to be getting harder.

reason 1: red flags

Quote:
One GM told me he sat with his medical staff for five hours the other day to go over medical records of prominent players. “Never have I been part of a draft with so many medical red flags,” the GM said.

reason 2: “pink“ flags

I am using pink for serious character, off-field issues (smoking weed f.e. not being one of them). Lots of pink flags on my board with the little I know..

1. Trubisky goes No. 2 to SF.
2. Zay Jones gets drafted ahead of John Ross.
3. 3 Rb's go in the Top 20.
4. Joshua Dobbs gets drafted high in second as the third QB taken.
5. The Pats only draft defensive players.
6. The Cowboys draft Foster in the first and Mixon in the second.
7. Watson gets drafted by the Texans.
8. 22 defensive, 10 offensive players go in the first round.

Brissett to the Browns for the #52 would be hilarious.

Well, probably not for Brissett, but still ...

I've been thinking the exact same thing for the past couple of weeks, and for the exact same reasons.

52? I wouldn't accept anything less than 32.

Draft hunch..... Patriots don't make any day 2 selections.

hunch/sleep/WTF pick
round 4-5
Julie'n Davenport- OT Bucknell 6'6 330 raw but a project......

He did have a workout with Scar. He's also a team captain and comes from a military family. Pretty much the ideal prospect. I just wish he didn't play so soft.
