DRAFT NFL Draft Rumors

[Midship]

Rodgers on the Broncos would make me want to puke. Please no

Breer:

As we noted in the Monday morning column, the Patriots have sniffed around on a trade up into the top 10, presumably for a quarterback—and I can say that if Fields is sitting there at No. 8, there are strong ties between New England and Carolina, and some groundwork has been done on what a deal might look like. But I’ll stick with the Patriots taking advantage of defensive players sliding a little here. I’ve heard New England connected to Horn, too. I don’t think he’ll make it here. So Parsons it is.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

Won’t Breer be surprised to learn that he jumped to conclusions there, forgetting it’s Belichick he’s talking about, and it’ll either be Trevon Moehrig or Greg Newsome....

OK, need some feedback on something important. What do you we think about 3-1 odds that more than 5 QBs go in the first round.

 

[captain stone]

Same guy who said anyone who’d draft Metcaff over Harry is an idiot.

He didn't really say that, did he?

This is the same brain sturgeon who allegedly pimped 'Niqued Easily to Bill in 2014, so I guess I shouldn't put it past him...

If we’re going corner, than Horn is my guy. All the way. I have doubts Parsons makes it that far.

The Patsies vs. the Dolts December 1981 Stupor Bowl for the rights to draft "Game Day"...oh the memories

I remember that game. Each team was trying to lose.

Yeah I remember watching that game at home on leave...Not a great year to have the #1 overall pick...

How is Horn on change of direction? Isn’t it a bit of a red flag that he didn’t run 3-cone or shuttle?

I'll preface this by saying I'm a big numbers guy (I love seeing a good SS or 3-cone time). I don't care about his numbers, however. The way he wins and the type of receivers and TEs he'll cover minimizes the importance of those drills for him. He still has an exceptional RAS. His tape is excellent. I'm all in on Horn if he makes it out of the top 10 and we don't go with one of the big 5 QBs.

This reminds me a little of the Metcalf conversations a few years ago. I was convinced that the way he won at the line of scrimmage and downfield made his poor 3-cone time basically irrelevant. Horn has the same athleticism, physicality, and alpha mentality. Superstar in the making.

uh oh...

Saints trying to trade up to Top 10

The Saints want to trade up in tonight's first round.

With what ammunition?

Ugh we’re really going to take one of these bum QBs in the 3rd aren’t we.

 

[captain stone]

I see no point or conclusion.

ALL THESE ARE TRUE
1) Many want a top 5 QB because they are more likely to be a good or great QB.
2) at least 1 or 2 are likely to bust (definition different for different people; often depends on the team environment)
3) It is unlikely to get a SB quality (top 10) QB in the later rounds.

CONCLUSION
???
For me, it is to get one of the 5 quarterbacks.

At the cost of neither #46 this year, nor our 1st-rounder next year.

I agree by and large, I like how Horn wins and have him as one of my faves for our pick, but, he won’t only be guarding DK Metcalf types in the NFL. How would he cope with prime Antonio Brown for example? I realise his MO is to win at the LoS, but if he doesn’t, how will he cope with a quicker WR.

4 more hours to go!

I was there when Hugh Millen pulled a Brian Hoyer at the end of the Donkeys game in 1991...

9-6 final if memory serves! I was at that same game as a college kid with a bunch of &^%$# Broncos fans.

 

[captain stone]

Been hearing about Spencer Brown a lot recently.

Schwartz is a Day 3 guy...I don't see him going on Day 2 at all...

 

[PScottman]

Chirs Simms said that he is so convinced that the Pats are NOT taking Fields, that if they do, he will show up for work tomorrow wearing only a wife beater t-shirt.

And that's different from normal how exactly?

 

[PScottman]

I will bet you anything at least one of the top five picks this year will at best be a mediocre starter if not an outright bust.

As stated in another thread, not a gambler, but still wouldn't touch that action with someone else's money.
