What is NFL network smoking?

[luuked]

Quite honestly none of the QBs this year are worth their steep price. This is a pretty mediocre group of players but if you pick early and need a QB you gotta do what you gotta do.

Then why the "what are they smoking?" title, if you think it is a realistic scenario?

The smoking part to me is offering James White along with the trade.
Now if it was forgotten man Gilleslie or Jordan Richards.

Richards and #5 gets you DOWN to #23.

Richards and #5 gets you DOWN to #23.

Richards should do TB 12 2 reasons 1. With his football IQ and gaining some speed as well as pliability he could turn to our ED Reed.
2. Maybe he doesnt improve pisses BB off and BB just cuts him.

Either way the team and fans win.

Trade with San Fran we have a good relationship and they kind of owe us a discounted trade in my opinion.

They don’t owe us anything, it’s business. They can tell us to F off. Anyways San Fran’s pick is likely costing both 1sts

I might be wrong, but somewhere the last couple of days I thought I read a quote attributed to Sean Payton saying that none of the QB’s in this class have the talent of Luck or Wentz. I thought that was interesting. Of course, he could say that and then trade up for a Mayfield or Jackson lol. But, what if he’s being genuine? If he isn’t really impressed with this years qb’s, I wonder if we even are. Take all the 1st rd qb’s off the table for us, and this draft will have some really good talent getting pushed down to us. If Bill feels that way about the qb’s, I hope we have some crazy ass run by all of these gm’s fumbling over themselves to push more guys down to us. Keep up our picks, get our guys, and begin the re-load of the next generation of leaders on this team.

As long as he replaces Jordan Richards that might work out.

I bet when those two wrestled as kids they both took bad angles at each other and never got hurt

I don't know if this started in the past, but I started noticing it being pretty common to include mock trades in the mock drafts this year. At their best, mock drafts can be fun to see who your team might get and prompt discussion. They are, however, kind of pointless because, aside from the first couple picks, they never come close to the real draft. There's always a surprise pick or a run on a position that no one ever predicts. To try to project hypothetical trades seems like a waste of time. If the NFLN predicted a hypothetical blockbuster trade between the Patriots and Broncos in their mock draft and then had the Broncos reject, then that's just insane.

They're trying to make the Donkeys relevant.

...I didn't realize they were still in the league...

For people who dont want to click they think the Patriots offer the Broncos our 2 1sts and James White for number 5 where we take Baker Mayfield.

I really like Mayfield. He is my #1 overall QB this year. I would honestly do that deal for him as I believe he is going to be legit good. Something like a mix between Brees and Jimmy G.

I doubt the Broncos would take that deal as they would get better offers for the #5 overall pick that that. That pick (1700) for our 23rd (760) 31st (600) is 1700 for 1360. This means they would value White at 340 (pick 56 overall). I doubt they value him at much and if there is a QB people like at that spot I'm sure a team would be willing to over pay for the spot.
