Around the nfl rumors before the draft. April 22nd-April 25th 2019

[WildBB]

NFL bigwigs have to be eating this up. Total suspense. Coverage on three networks.

Nobody knows nothing about the Cardinals, Raiders or Giants real intentions.
Conjecture and speculation all over the place. I hope the Cardinals throw a wrench into everything by picking Bosa or Williams so I can sit back and watch the cascading effect that will
have from pick three onward. Sorry Jets-your pick's value just plummeted.

Get your popcorn ready!

These are words I did say. Andrew speaks the truth. Doesn’t mean they’re going to do it but they’ve tested the waters.

No one, No one moves up 10+ spots in first round except for a QB. Which QB is the question?

At the top of this, we discussed potential trade partners for the Jets and Lions. (link:

They must feel like they need to get ahead of the Giants at 6 to get the QB they want, which puts more pressure on the Giants to explore trading up too.

A lot of scenarios in play for the #Dolphins at No. 13, but my understanding is they do have interest taking in a QB. Two they’ve done the most work on: Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins and Duke’s Daniel Jones. @nflnetwork

Why would the Cardinals tell him he is or isn't the pick when they are going to all this trouble to keep the free world in suspense? Sometimes Florio's suppositions are way off base. This is one example.

This would assume that it was to drive up value the whole time for the #1 so they could possibly trade back...but man, I can't accept that they haven't known for weeks, if not months. Or at the very least have a package already worked out for trading down. Jmo

There I was in the steam bath at the Hollywood YMCA, when who walks in with a towel wrapped around his waist, none other than 6'8" Luke Walton. As I sat on the rather cool tile bench with sweat glistening off my tan body and rays of light gently piercing the thick steam while bouncing off my golden chest, I heard him begin laughing as he dropped his towel to the floor and took a rather large step in my direction. I immediately began a light make believe cough so as to make sure he knew someone else was there just in case he hadn't seen me through the thick cloud of sweaty steam. He took another somewhat giant step toward me before sitting down so close to me that I could smell the manly scent of his recently shampooed hair. Then, right as I started to slide away from him a bit, it happened. Yes, with that deep somewhat frightening voice of his, he gently uttered the words I least wanted to hear in that moment, "Who do you think the Cardinals will be taking in the draft?". He could hear me begin a gasp as I scampered hurriedly out the door leaving my towel behind somewhere amidst the foggy steam. "I don't have the slightest idea!" I said rather curtly half turned as the door to the steam bath slowly shut behind me.

And so echod the thoughts of a typical AZ Cardinal fan with 1 day left before the historical 2019 NFL draft.

As for the rumors about a Josh Rosen trade, I was told Washington does not have any plans to trade with the Cardinals per sources. It was also brought to attention that Arizona could keep Josh Rosen on the roster and trade him later in the summer if they go Murray.

They could keep both on the roster, make one the starter and the other the backup - & let the 2 duke it out

O-r-r They could create a new hybrid position for Murray (passer/read-option RB) and line up Rosen and Murray in the same backfield.

Or probably not.

Just talked to a Redskins source who told me Dan Snyder has "taken over the first round of the draft."

The last time that happened the Redskins traded two future No. 1's and a No. 2 to move up for Robert Griffin.

There's not enough snaps in the modern NFL to let QBs duke it out.

And that's also the biggest way to ruin your locker room with a young head coach. Everyone will pick sides, and divide the locker room. What're you going to do? Pull the #1 overall pick mid-game if things aren't going right? Nah.

Not to mention whoever ends up starting looking over his shoulder every down, recipe for disaster.

 

[Delmar M Lewis]

Hurray!!

Hopefully they offer the same package for number 1 as they did for Griffin we could almost totally rebuild our team in 2 drafts and they would be stuck with the midget

It’s clear there are many in the Redskins organization on the coaching and scouting staff who do not want to take a QB in the first round. The decision isn’t up to them. So while leaks will continue, nothing is likely to change tomorrow unless someone can change the owners’s mind

Washed up Colt McCoy and Keenum to start the season? If that's the case.. they are definitely positioning for Tua. Imo.

Players mostly overlooked publicly who could sneak into the Top 100 this week: Boston College S Will Harris, Utah LB Cody Barton, TCU LB Ty Summers, San Jose State TE Josh Oliver and OSU WR Terry McLaren. All names gaining steam for the first two nights.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ignoring a homophobic comment because Murray made a very belated apology after he won the Heisman.Did Murray say it.Yes he did.Deny that .did he make a Damage control apology 7 years later.Yes he did.Inspite of your bluster BS indignation you can't deny Murray actually say what he said.
I think its all stupid to put any of that crap out there.. I simply refuse to crucify one and give the other a free pass.Believe what you want I don't give a rats ass.

Lol. Keep putting words in my mouth. I never denied anything. I just learned of this and I think it’s a problem too. But you choose to ignore the difference in the fact sets. That’s on you bud.

Al Davis knew football,As much as I hate the Cowboys and Jerry Jones he at least knows the game.Dan Snyder knows nothing about football.Thats the difference.

Ehhh. I never give meddling owners that much credit. I do give credit to Jerry Jones for at least naming himself gm instead of just appointing a yes man for the optics..
