My hope is. And its looking more and more likely, is we finish with a top 3 pick

Someone a few picks behind wants a qb, and we can move back a few slots and grab another 1st and more

It's gonna be a war for that top three. though. Giants, Cardinals, 49ers, Bills, Browns will be in the mix since Hue still sucks, maybe even the Colts. Outtanking the Cardinals, Niners and Bills is gonna be ridiculously tough though.

Ya, the cardinals and bills i think have the best chance at it

After that i think there are about 5 teams who could finish top 3

The other thing ive seen is a ton of nfl guys think he gets traded at the combine next year, most likely to the giants

I still believe in Carr but it wouldnt surprise me, and if Gruden thinks carr isnt guy i think you have to move on from him, would probably get a 2nd and maybe a 4th all things considered when you factor in the salary the team is taking on

Would put us at 5 top 40 picks, really own the draft, and with cowboys pick prolly top 10, arent forced to take a qb with the top pick if they really fall in love with bosa or miller etc.

The fact the Bills won two games with the QB play they have though, McDermott deserves coach of the millennium. We're going to look back at the 2018 Bills and wonder how they didn't go 0-16.

this Cooper trade has the feel of the Roy Williams trade in which Dallas got fleeced years ago. time will tell. Chucky is making his mark on the team, good or bad

If the Chiefs get even two extra stops a game, they're nigh indestructible as long as Mahomes is upright.

Quarterbacks have a combined rating of 39 this year throwing to Peterson's side of the field.

If you think you're going to be drafting 28-32, you're not getting a player as good as Patrick Peterson, and getting him now all but assures you of a title game appearance if not the Super Bowl. The time in KC is now.

Hope you guys like offence. I have a feeling this will be a game that Ryan throws for 400+ and Barkey runs for 200+.

Yep, they were rumored to be going after earl thomas before his injury

If I were them id give a 1st and a mid round pick, thinking about the playoffs, matching him on gronk, or brown, or allen etc.

Could be the difference, and like you say, pick 25-32 not like what dallas just did

I don't understand how we operate in an NFL where Josh Gordon is a 5th and Amari Cooper is a 1st. I simply don't understand draft pick economy.

Eli Manning with a pretty useless 399 yard 0 int game. Andy Reid is laughing at that clock management. It's like the Giants offered him a share in the team to figure out how to lose by 3 points.

All you need to do is look at the GMs that traded each pick. Draft pick economy has nothing to do with this.

Well if any owner can figure live to 128 years old it probably is Jones....who will keep his Smithers like side kick Garret around for that time frame too.

It's pretty easy actually. One guy has a single 1000 yard season in his career and is a failed urine test away from a lifetime ban and the other is a two time 1000 yard receiver who's squeaky clean.

When the Raiders face the Cardinals that will probably determine first overall. Honestly in all my years of watching the Raiders I have never seen a coaching staff mail in an effort like Gruden did with the London game. He never wanted to go to London in the first place waited until the last minute to arrive and was probably in a cab straight to the airport from Wembley moments after the game ended. Pretty despicable IMO when the league is trying to showcase the league in a different country and you don't even prepare your team to play.

Well it's also worth remembering Gordon was likely to be straight released so that they got anything for him is decent. Cooper was worth a third rounder, maybe a conditional second at most, and yet it could end up being a top 10 pick. Draft pick economy can't factor in Jerry's ineptness.
