Draft!
Lol he wouldn't get past the Browns at 12. If he's available 4-6 I'm pretty sure we're making the call.

Yea. I hate the guy, but it's never nice to see one of the great players of our time go down with a season ending injury. Especially right before their match-up against Barcelona.
these people shouldn't have jobs in the NFL. If I am the GM/Coach of the Browns I am realistically saying that we are less talented then the Rams, giving up a high pick for Bradford will end in disaster. The QB thirst does strange things to people and organizations.
Why not? Most all had him as the consensus #1 the year he came out and his biggest issue has been health. I'm not saying most people around the league think he is a top 5 QB, but a starter in this league? When you have guys like McCown, Cassell, Geno, Fitzpatrick, Mettenberg, and some others as starters?
Philly ESPN affiliate just had on another beat writer. Says Chargers interest in Mariota is only driven by Rivers and his camp. Chargers aren't really interested in moving him and are prepared to franchise him after this season.
Meaning they might not be real players to trade up. Additionally Titans are not only fielding calls but making calls which indicates they aren't ready to draft Mariota for themselves if they don't get a great trade. In that scenario if SD and or Philly don't offer up the farm, they will select Leonard Williams with the #2. Basically Chip would have to call them out on their bluff.
But if it works then Eagles might have to give up far less to move up to 3,4,5, or even 6. Plus these teams wouldn't care about Bradford not signing an extension since they aren't as QB hungry.

I'm really dying to see how the top 8 plays out tomorrow night. It's really tough to pin down an obvious target for the Giants right now without seeing how things shake out.
I maintain that the player I most want personally is Brandon Sherff but as mentioned yesterday a tackle like Peat would make sense. Collins would have been on that list minus yesterday's murder nonsense. Erek Flowers is another possibility but I think 9 is too high for him and why take a guy that projects as a guard if there's a better player on the board in Sherff?
Pass rushers are a possibility but I have a feeling we're going to see a run on those early on. Shane Ray's situation may drop him out of the top 10 which is another monkey wrench. I also have a feeling the top WR's will be off of the board (White and Cooper) by the time the Giants pick.
I'd have to imagine Trae Waynes would be in play at that point for the Giants if they stay put. It's not an obvious position of need but Prince is on the last year of his contract and DRC was a bit injury prone last year. They also lack an obvious third CB at the moment. Reese has used plenty of first rounders for CB's as well.
If a bunch of these guys are off the board I just prefer to trade back out and pick up more picks in the 2nd, etc.

I hope Teddy Bridgewater has a HoF career just so we can look back and laugh at the Texans.

I'll be happy to have proven all mock drafters wrong earlier in the month, when almost all of them had Perriman going borderline end 1st/start 2nd round, while I had him top 20 going to Browns. Get schooled by a random Belgian guy, pros.

Draft...
Who do you think is a possible trade partner for the Giants?
lmao
Not enough. Get more

No way the Titans are dumb enough to take that. They could probably get the two 1's and a 2 if they wanted.

Something to keep in mind
John Clayton ‏@ClaytonESPN 2m2 minutes ago
The Titans said yesterday they had only 16 first-round grades. That means at No. 19 or No. 20, they would be taking a second-rounder.

Hopefully we can get our first win this year!

This is why I think a 2016 first round pick is probably more appealing than an extra 2015 first round pick.

Huh? Doesn't that assume all 16 of their first-round grades go in the top 18? That seems like a crazy assumption.

If the Browns want #2 and only want to use draft picks, 12/19/43/115 (2 1sts, 2nd, 4th) for 2/208 (1st/6th) is almost a perfect match in the trade value chart: http://www.footballperspective.com/jimmy-johnson-draft-pick-value-calculator/

That is a terrible baseline price for Tennessee.

Chip has proven players to trade, which should be more appealing than draft picks in a draft they are considering weak. However, I just don't want to see Cox get traded. Pretty much anyone else an I am on board though.
Tacks want a 1st round pick within the top 15 included in a deal. Eagles don't have that, would have to do multiple deals.
Also, their is a tight end in this draft named Jesse James and he is from Penn State. Awesome.

Trading up to the top five for an edge rusher always works out well.

Someone posted this on facebook. I began to spill my water all over my desk. This is hilarious!
So maybe the leak came from the Browns and they are trying to scare Chip into giving Bradford up for less?
But did a homeless man tell them to do that?

Honestly, why would the Browns even want to move up? With the amount of gaping holes they have in their team, wouldn't it make more sense to try to make as many picks as possible?
I don't get the browns. They aren't even in a position where Luck could take them anywhere. Build a damn team first.
