Bold Predictions for 2012 NFL Draft (1 Viewer)

- Minny and Cleve both use their full time allowed in hopes of trading down. Both unsuccessfully. Take Kalil and Richardson.

- Someone trades up into the top 10, but doesn't take Tannehill.

- Eagles pull a Denver by selecting twice on opening day. Ship Asante + 2013 1st Rounder + 2013 3rd for the21st (bengals), 22nd (browns), or 27th (pats) overall pick.

- There will be more first round trades then any year in NFL history.

- No Offensive Players are taken from picks 15-25. 10 straight defensive players.
Would LOVE for this to happen.
 
Patriots move up to #12 to take Barron.

CSN New England's Tom Curran is hearing from multiple sources that the Patriots would target Alabama S Mark Barron if they made a trade to move up in the draft.

The Pats certainly have a need opposite Patrick Chung. They also have the ammo to trade up from No. 27, but they would have to give up quite a bit to move in front of the Cowboys at No. 14. As SI.com's Peter King suggested early in the week, Barron's stock is steadily on the rise.
 
David DeCastro slips past KC, SEA, ARI & DAL @11-14, and the Niners trade up with PHI @ 15, or NYJ @ 16 to nab him in front of CIN.

 
Dolphins still kicking themselves for passing up Brees six years ago, select Kellen Moore from Boise State with their 6th round pick. Kellen goes on to be the future starter and does what Marino could not... Wins a S.B.

Okay... maybe I'm dreaming, but Kellen is a winner and will make one team very happy they drafted him.

 
I'm starting to think 4 or maybe as many as 5 of the consensus top 10 guys fall out of the top 10.

Or perhaps they just drop several spots down from what the masses think.

No way the Eagles give up Asante + a 1st for a 1st...More like Asante + just a 2013 3rd for a 2012 1st.IMO it would be dumb to trade Asante, but it seems like thats what they want to do.

You've got to be kidding me. Asante + 2013 3rd rounder for 2012 1st?!?!?!? Not in a million years would any team do that. Most teams, even the eagles are putting a 4th round grade on Asante. If we got a 3rd rounder that would be HUGE. No way a 3rd and next years 3rd would equal a this years first.

And it was just reported that they will get no more then a sixth rounder, yet you are putting a 1st or 2nd round grade on him. Remember, they say you drop a round the next year so a 2013 3rd would be like a 4th and Asante for a 1st. Madness.

Asante's worth a late first, but those trades never go that way (trade anything higher than a 2nd) so yeah what I said would probably never happen. I guess his cap hit downgrades his value vs. pure talent but he is as good or better as 90% of the players that are going to get drafted at that point without the bust risk.Not to mention all those teams you listed are way under the cap, so his salary doesnt really matter as much. Theyd be crazy not to trade a 4th+ round pick for him. Not only does Philly get fleeced in a deal like that, but they also would in your originally proposed deal (Essentially trade Asante + 2013 3rd for a case of Bud Lime). Great moves Philly! :lol:

He's also way older those guys. He's 31, he doesn't have too long left, and had injury concerns not to mention the massive contract. Don't think there's one other person on earth besides you and asante that think he's worth a 1st rounder... or even a second rounder. If you think Philly gets fleeced sending him off for a 4th rounder, you wont be happy when he's dealt for a 6th rounder which is aparently his max value in talks around the league.
 
Jets trade up for T-Rich. Cleveland ends up with Floyd & Martin in the 1st and have the added power to get Barkley next year.

When the grades pour in the Dolphins get an F.
Weak sauce, looking for bold. Try again.
The Browns get an A and are graded best draft.
Better. They are loaded w/ picks and this should be the draft that makes the needle move a bit. Too bad that they are in a meat grinder division though.
 
Minnesota trades down to 5 with Tampa.

Tampa takes Richardson.

Cleveland trades down with Buffalo.

Buffalo takes Kalil.

Minnesota trades down again with Arizona.

Arizona takes Claiborne.

Minnesota takes Reiff and gets a boatload of picks this year and next year to fill in multiple needs.

I like that you are making bold predictions. I don't like that you think the Vikings can pull off a bunch of moves for a buttload of picks. It's the Vikings. Odds are, they try to work trades that don't materialize, time out on their pick, panic, and then reach for somebody they could have had in the 3rd Round.
 
Janoris Jenkins either goes to the Bengals or falls out of the first 3 rounds. This punk should go undrafted as he is a thug/loser and will continue to be a thug/loser. The guy is already on par with Pacman Jones.

I think this scenario could happen, except I don't think Minny would pass on Claibourne at 5.

Mel Kiper reveals his secret long term relationship with Chris Berman and they share a very poignant (and not in any way inappropriate) affectionate embrace as the first round draws to an end.

 
More like Asante + just a 2013 3rd for a 2012 1st.
oops.
This is the bold predictions thread, no?Either way, Philly got owned and ATL made the best move of the offseason thus far.
Owned? No other team offered even a fifth rounder... but I guess you're a better judge of talent then 31 NFL teams' executives. C'mon dude. Best pick up of the offseason? Hardly. Not even sure how good he'll do there... .they will work a 3 good cb rotation, he's still paid a lot of money.
 
Following a theme we use for each Fantasy Football season, i thought we should start a thread on bold predictions for the upcoming NFL draft. Most of these won't come true since they are bold predictions, but its kind of fun to see the possibilities. I'll start.

There's a lot of talk about Cleveland's choices at the #4 pick. Many say they will take either Trent Richardson or, more recently, Ryan Tannehill. I think they instead go with Justin Blackmon at #4 (thats not the bold part) then do somewhat of a reach at #22 and take Brandon Weeden at QB. Luck, Griffin, and Tannehil will all be off the board by then and Cleveland needs a QB (even though the Browns are saying thay are sticking with Colt McCoy). Weeden is ranked as the #4 QB coming out, is older and more mature, and already has a chemistry with Blackmon. Might work out nicely and pay quick dividends.

What are your bold predictions?
Weeden would still be on the board at 37.If they take Weeden at 22 I'm burning all of my Browns clothing.
BURN BABY BURN!

Edit: I want a video of you burning it all.
