Come on now. Two NFL Network employees are sending out information about a team run by Lombardi, another former NFL Network employee who happens to be the most smoke screen-happy person I've ever seen in the NFL. I don't buy it for a second. Seems like he's leaking the info to get Bills or Jets to jump up for him.

aw yiss. browns fans will be groaning though
If they trade down to the Chargers or Fins spot and get a 2nd that's a good move.
Should still be some nice players available at 11-13.

its exactly what i want to happen but a lot of browns fans are tired of playing the waiting game and want immediate impact players. they dont really grasp nuances. of course the browns could draft another olineman and id probably groan too

The hype of the draft is built up over months and even longer for those rooting for a team with a losing season. Getting an elite prospect is one of the sole hopes such a fan has and it essentially turns the draft into a spectacle. After deliberating with fellow fans for so long and viewing countless mock drafts and insights by beat writers, the show put on is somewhat of a pay off. Besides the commentary, you get the initial reaction of these kids as a very special moment in their lives unfold. The elation or occasionally a hilarious crestfallen expression. You get to see an elite prospect hold up your team's jersey and it just creates an excitement and hope for fans of bad teams. It's a package and to have that all blown in half a second by a name in a tweet would indeed piss me off. I've been looking forward to this shit since well before the last season ended. The commercials are fine when you have a thread like this to go to and discuss the previous picks made. Hilarity always ensues in the first round. Always.

I think the Browns-Geno rumours are out there because Banner/Lombardi know if a QB goes before them at 6then one of two things likely happens:
1) Dion Jordan falls to them.
2) An OT falls to them and they'll be able to trade out.
This would be the clever smokescreen scenario.

Mayock has his show in 1 hour to unveil his only mock draft, but here they are if you want to see them with minimal explanation

Would not be happy with Xavier Rhodes to the Patriots. Don't need another cornerback who'll have to convert to safety in two years.
top 5 picks no less

Before the show? DON'T POST SPOILERS!
I gotta have a little fun with it, guys!
Oh he admits he has no idea what will happen, and expects it to be wrong. But he's entertaining to watch. Much better with draft stuff than as color guy during the year. That NDU stink takes a long time to wash off

Willing to pawn him off on the Broncos though? SMH.

Whoa releasing DJ Smith was a surprise.
The blood of snes is in your hands. That will never change.
Geno sucks. I still don't understand why so many teams take chances on spread offense QB's. The risk is even higher.
BBC asked Mike Mayock about Menelik Watson. "Might be the most raw high level player in the draft. He's a projection who has no idea what he's doing but is really talented physically. Expected to go late first beginning of the second and could be a great player in three years."
He also said Lawrence Okoye could be gambled on by a team in the 7th round.
Sky Sports and BBC Radio are also broadcasting the draft live tomorrow. Pretty cool.

Not surprising. There was some talk that they expressed interest in Welker and Edelman earlier in the offseason, so they must be in the market for a slot receiver.
You cannot pass the guilt onto us. We all know who held the bloody cleaver.
Or snooker!

Snooker World Championships are underway at the moment. That's unlikely. Same for Darts.
The Darts crowd at the Lakeside is insane. It's on my bucket list.

What would it take to get him? We have a 3rd, a 4th and two 5ths. Giving away a 5th for him would be fine by me.
You know where Snooker is huge? China. I heard they have over a dozen tv channels broadcasting these world championships.

What about trading up to the 17 slot for either Eifert, Richardson or Rhodes (Milliner will be gone by then)?
I can't see the Steelers standing pat if Jarvis Jones isn't sitting there waiting for them (he will be if the Saints don't grab him at 15).
Gibson isn't a slot guy. More of a Z but can play X
