Pre-Draft News Items

A thread for tidbits of Draft and NFL news in the week leading up to the draft.

 

_______________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Peter King is reporting that the Eagles are so hyped to get a prime wide receiver in this draft that they might actually trade up to do so.  Their likely target: Odell Beckham.

 

Gil Brandt believes it's possible Khalil Mack gets taken ahead of Jadaveon Clowney.  There's even some speculation that Mack could go number one overall to the Texans.

 

Adam Schefter has reported that Miami OT Seantrel Henderson tested positive for marijuana at the Combine.  Henderson is the guy who also failed to finish his own Pro Day workout.

 

Ian Rapoport, citing Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle, is hearing that the Raiders have completely ruled out taking a quarterback as an option at number five.  They've said differently in prior reports. 

 

Mike Mayock thinks it's possible Nebraska corner Stanley John-Baptiste winds up being taken in the first round (he's generally been rated in the second or third).  As a big corner, the success of Richard Sherman has helped his stock a lot.

 

Mayock also speculates that Notre Dame tackle Zack Martin could be taken somewhere between nine and thirteen.  Mayock called Martin "as safe a player as there is in the draft".

The Eagles have signed a guy named Allejandro...but not that one.

 

Allejandro Villanueva is a 6'9, 277 former Army Ranger who did three tours of duty in Afghanistan.  He's also a former offensive lineman at West Point who got a shot with the Bengals a few years back but didn't catch on.  He went to the Super Regional Combine as a tight end, but the Eagles are signing him as a defensive lineman.

Kiper and mcshay just did their risers/fallers on sportscenter. Allen Robinson listed as a riser and said he would most likely come off the board early 2nd round. Also mentioned fuller as a riser and said possibly mid 1st. Mentioned Ebron as a faller. Said mid to late 1st

If Ebron falls to 28 we take him, right?

Doesn't he know it's football first then the Rangers? After all it's what Till...Probably best to do it this way.

Do you take him over a guy like Allen Robinson?

 

If we are simply looking at BPA then yeah, I would.

 

The only thing that worries me is how he'd fit in Shula's scheme. Olsen lining up in a traditional TE spot on the line with Ebron out wide or in the slot would be a nice combo considering how much Cam loves throwing to his TEs (look at Shockey and Olsen duo).

    • He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful 
    • Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here 
    • AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
