Bleacher Report's Matt Miller rumors leading up to the draft

Matt Miller of b/r has published his "final scouting report" of this year's draft season, and since we need to pass the time until the draft, what better way to listen to some rumors that may or may not be smokescreens during this Lying Season.

 

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2445655-2015-nfl-draft-matt-millers-final-scouting-notebook

 

For those that just don't want to read, here is my translation:

 

1.   DGB not likely to be drafted in the first round, though some GMs really want to (but quashed by owners).

2.   The Raiders are in love with AC, and might choose him over Leonard Williams

3.   FSU's Tre jackson has failed multiple physicals (due to chronic knee issues)

4.   Cyrus Kou---err, Arie Kaoundjio has failed multiple physicals (due to chronic knee issues)

5.   49ers love Arik Armstead

6.   NFL teams don't give a poo about Winston getting the hook-up on crab legs.

7.   Cleveland is desperately trying to work out a way to move up for Mariota

8.   UM's edge rusher, Frank Clark, likely won't make it pass the third.

9.   Todd Gurley is going to get drafted in the first

10. Damarious Randall has been one of the busiest prospects in April

11. Randy Gregory will not fall out of the first round.

12. Chip Kelly and the Eagles are on Breshad Perriman's jock.

13. Shane Ray's foot problem wasn't a real problem (but the article was likely written before his pot problem)

 

Like I said, take it all with a grain of salt. It's just something to talk about and consider in the grand scheme of things.

Miller has routinely been used by teams to spread misinformation(or he just makes crap up). Notably when he said Matt Barkley would not get past pick 7 who then went in the 4th round in 2013 and that the Bucs were desperately trying to move up to get Manziel who they later passed on at their original spot last year

Cleveland has such remarkable history with drafting great QBs in the 1st round.  Why not try again?  

 

They have the assets to pull it off.  Titans would probably ask for #12,#19, and their 1st rounder next year.  That's if they're not interested in Mariota.  If they think he's a franchise QB, they gotta sit tight and take him.

Would love for the Eagles to select Perriman.

Agreed. I think he would be the only guy I'd really be frustrated with drafting at 25. I think Agholor and smith are reaches in the first, but wouldn't kill me. In fact, the more I've thought about it, I think someone like a hardy in the third fills the role we really need in the offense with KB as the #1, ginn/brown as the burners, hardy in the slot, and now Newton would have effective weapons who all fill their roles decently.

Why?

 

You don't trust Gettleman to pass Perriman up if he hasn't given him a first round grade?  Second round grade?  Or, maybe you're just trying to troll...

 

It would push prospects we have more highly rated down the board. This would be one of the "mistakes" Gettleman said he hopes teams make.

the thrist is real

 

I must admit that I took some liberties with the word "desperately", but it is probably closer to the truth than not when a Browns' coach said that Mariota was "outstanding".

Because the Panthers are not interested in the 1st and it would increase the chance that someone they are interested in drops to 25.

Well, I suppose that's a reason, albeit a kind of weak one.  I think the troll thing makes more sense.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
