BlueDredSo 132 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Hope this isn't a Honda. I searched and didn't see any topics specifically for rumors surrounding the draft. Personally, I love checking Twitter and mock drafts the week before the draft to see how much things change. You learn which reporters can and can't be trusted, and what teams are good (or not) at hiding their preferences. Feel free to post any rumors you hear about and at least somewhat trust might be true. Here's some that I've seen the past few days: Arizona not drafting Kyler Murray? Oakland to make "surprise" pick in 1st rd SF open to trading down NJ open to trading down, or taking Quinnen Williams at 3 Broncos apparently love LB Devin Bush Cinci might draft QB in 1st rd (Haskins?) Washington likes Dwayne Haskins Rashan Gary, Montez Sweat & Jefferey Simmons possibly falling out of 1st rd due to health issues Josh Jacobs to Oakland seems like a no-brainer if he's available, especially with Lynch retiring Edited April 27, 2019 by Joe Bryant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If true maybe they are thinking Ingram + Jacobs gives them a chance for that to equal Ingram+Kamara. I guess, though I would hope they'd realize a big part of the Ingram/Kamara success was Drew Brees. I don't really know what the Ravens are doing. I didn't really get the Ingram signing, when they had 2 RB's who had over 5 YPC in 2018, both on rookie deals. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

menobrown 3,928 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 A few more random things I've heard, almost all from beat writers with a few national NFL reporters. Bears would like to draft Montgomery, Sanders, Henderson or Damian Harris but all might be gone by their pick in round 3. They might try and move up but if not and all gone they are looking hard at Ryquel Armstead. Hockenson is a top 12 lock 5 QB's might go round one If Murray is picked 1.1 expect at least 3 trades in round one with teams moving up to pick a QB. If Murray does not go 1.1 move that number to 4. Green Bay will use a first round pick on a WR or TE, if not both. A TE other then Irv Smith could be the third one chosen. NE will draft two TE's. Might only have one WR chosen in round 1. This part is not a rumor but my opinion. In terms of fantasy relevance 90% of the key action is going down on day two. Friday night is going to be the big night for us fantasy freaks. Rams could surprise people with how early they draft a RB. Most teams want to trade down and most rumors for teams trading up are for a QB. Except the Texans, they are rumored to be major candidate to trade up to get OL help. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the Raiders wanted Hunt they could have signed him whenever, which they, and pretty much any team, would have been wise to do. I'd think its much more likely Duke Johnson gets dealt, and even then, probably not to Oakland, since Richard does a lot of the same things, though it'd be kinda funny to see Duke and Crow reunite. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Faust 5,269 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 NBC Sports' Grant Paulsen reports that Dan Synder has "taken over the first round of the draft" for the Washington Redskins. The last time the Redskins owner was heavily involved in the draft? That would be when they sent three first-round picks and one second-rounder in a move up for RGIII. This is starting to feel like a similar situation with reports surfacing that the team has discussed moving into the top five for a quarterback. ESPN's Dianna Russini reported that the Redskins have had a "target" on Haskins, but Drew Lock and Daniel Jones are other options. This draft is going to be a fun one, but this is also an important reminder that ownership is the single biggest advantage in American sports.

Ilov80s 30,017 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 These rumors are all most likely smoke but the Detroit story is now 1/2 fact and 1/2 rumor. Bush told reporter that when he met with Detroit they told him they would move him to MLB and Jarrad Davis to OLB. The rumor is that Devin White is pissed Bush got a Detroit visit and he didn’t.

Bracie Smathers 3,688 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Evan SilvaVerified account @evansilva We discussed a first-round trade involving the #Dolphins & #Texans on this show. Here, the Miami Herald's @flasportsbuzz alludes to basically the exact same hypothetical trade: 6:51 AM - 24 Apr 2019 Dolphins ... potential first-round trade partner Quote ▪ NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah said several teams are trying to trade back and that Houston would be an ideal partner for those teams because the Texans are looking to move up for offensive line help. Hypothetically, Houston could trade Miami the 23rd pick to move to 13, and give Miami one its two second-round picks (54th or 55) and a a third rounder this year (86th) or next year. I wonder if Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons - a top 10 talent whose stock could drop because of a torn ACL - will drop to 23. Mel Kiper has him dropping to the mid-20s. Keep in mind that Texas general manager Brian Gaine and Grier worked together six years with the Dolphins (2008-2013). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a great chance he flat out lied that he is 172 now, but I do anticipate him gaining weight. I dont know what I think about him. his breakout age is pretty bad. That being said I might take a flier on him late round 1 with a luxury 1st if he is there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
