Draft Week Rumors/Reports Thread


Recommended Posts

Draft week is upon us! You know what that means. Last minute smoke screens, rumors, hot takes, etc... I honestly love this time as a bunch of info gets fired out constantly. Figured I’d make a topic for everyone to post what they’re hearing. I’ll start it off

They just got Ford and Alexander last offseason lol. 

Cap issues. They just paid Armstead and Jimmy G eats up a lot of cap too. Gotta be able to sign players down the road too.

Seems like a lot of teams want to move back. 

I figure the top guys are Burrow, Simmons, Okudah, and Brown. Once those guys are gone I wonder if people are really that excited to get one of the top 4 OT’s, one of the receivers, etc...

 

Plus a lot of these teams have multiple needs. I see 3-4 trades happening in the top 15.

I would be devastated that he ends up in our division. Not because they took him but we will have a reminder twice a year what we passed on when we traded that 23th pick.

Jags oline would ruin any QB they ever get anyway.

I would be ok with that.

Tua will be big bust

 I agree, Tua is made of glass and they can have the laid back piano man (Herbert) as well. I think Injuries will get the best of Tua and Herbert will be average at best. 2 best QB's in this draft IMO are Burrow and Love. My wildcard who I think can be a very good NFL QB, if not great is Anthony Gordon.

I think a steal could be Luton.

Really all Ballard needs to do is call up Bill O'Brien and by the time Cinci is on the clock we'll have a 2022 first rounder and 2020 fourth rounder in exchange for Mark Glowinski and a pack of designer dust masks.

 

Remember on Die Hard when Hans says, "You ask for a miracle, I give you the F...B...I" ???

 

Well Bill O'Brien is the proverbial F...B...I.

You must be my older twin with this quote. :) Completely agree!

Or we can wait until he and Watson don’t get along.

Tua will sell tickets for at least a couple seasons over Herbert imho.

If he can stay on the field. I agree with you if plays like 13 or 14 games. His injuries scare me though. It will be interesting to see who Miami takes at #5.

I think they trade up to 3 take OT then Tua at 18

Agree. His name alone selected will get season tix holders excited and new ones added. Will he play right away remains to be seen as well and if so, does he stay healthy? If he plays and does enough, you will get those extended ST holders and new ones added for 2 years in a row. Always a crap shoot.

It is sad he has had so many injuries because his talent is off the charts. Leg and hip injuries aren't good though.

That's fantastic if Love slips to 25 on

If he is still there at the NE and NO pick and they pass on him that’s a easy trade up to get that 5th year option if they actually want him. I wish we knew what ballard actually thinks of him. We will probably never know. We will just hear I told you we wouldn’t force a QB. I’d love falls that far that also means most people have a second rd or later grade on him.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
