The 2023 NFL Draft Rumor thread

[slanidrac16]

There’s quite a bit of buzz about the Cards trading pick #34+ to move up into the end of round #1. Big mistake in my mind as a bunch of good players will be there at 34.

Okay , but for what?

 

[DVontel]

have enough ammo to move up for a top QB

I don’t think the ammo will matter if Caleb Williams and Drake Maye are as special as people think they are.

Okay , but for what?

A couple of guys thought Schmitz. One thought Johnston.

Okay , but for what?

I could see it for their #1 rated center. I'm convinced they are going to go all out to resurrect Kyler's career. Fixing the Interior of the offensive line is the most urgent item on their to-do list.

 

[Harry]

Just so you know these rumors are well placed. All of these guys either publish prominent mocks or feed info to scouts actually working in the business. They hear quite a bit of accurate info.

I have heard the rumors going around regarding me and the Panthers, and I am here to state that in no way have I been or am I now in contact with the Carolina team about possibly being their #1 pick in the draft.

I will however state the possibility that I once stayed at a Holiday Inn Express for a night. If so, that was many years ago and I was probably too high to fully remember. I do recall, however, receiving a bill of several thousand dollars for trashing the room during a wild party thrown by my band mates and several dozen groupies following a concert in Houston, Texas, the dirtiest city in all of the USA.

And one more thing while I am at it, under no circumstance can I or will I return to you the 2 minutes you just wasted reading this post.

Have a nice day!

I'm convinced that Kyler is the guy for this coaching staff and FO, at least for now. Interesting ideas open up if they don't/didn't think that way. Trade down for very little this year but a haul for next year, to ensure we have enough ammo to move up for a top QB if necessary.

I don't think we have to worry about having to move up next year, as we're likely odds on favorites to have the top pick with the way the roster stands now and after draft.

 

[Goodyear Card]

a sure pick. He played special teams and was a team captain.

Cardinals used top-30 visit on Cal S Daniel Scott

Scott is super athletic and even played on all four phases of special teams in college.

Brainwashed by Keim?

Breese wouldn't shock me.

This is why trading down to 11 scares me. Inexperienced GM and shallow first round talent. Dude ends up taking a guy worth second or third round talent instead of will freaking Anderson.

Bears appear comfortable with the possibility of drafting Jalen Carter - ProFootballTalk

Somebody will draft Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter. He is one of the best prospects in the 2023 draft class.But some teams likely pass on Carter, too.Character issues and a poor performance at his pro day cloud his draft status and could lead to Carter slipping lower than he should go...

Naw that's why it's worth trading for a 2024 first round pick. Especially if you can add a 2024 second round pick too.

2024 Draft looks substantially better, especially OL.

I think it's great, and from our perspective it's another excuse gone.

The whole "this offense sucks / Kliff sucks / they hate each other" etc has been a big excuse driver. That's gone now. Clearly has a staff that if fully behind him and building around him.

I will breath a huge sigh of relief if Wilson is off the board at #2. Just to know we ain't drafting him.

Trask and Mayfield, the only thing they believe is tanking for a top pick next year

Yeah, I'm sure Mayfield is really keen on tanking himself out of a job.

Everyone now think Cards trade down, including well placed guys.

 

[Harry]

Just heard the Cards have gone to outlying staff and asked for reevaluation and comparisons on guys who wouldn’t go at 3 or 4.
