Some notes from my source


Verge

Recommended Posts

According to the Chicago Tribune, there was "scuttlebutt in league circles" Monday night that the 49ers could take Leonard Fournette at No. 2 overall.

Ex-NFL personnel man Greg Gabriel tweeted something similar on Tuesday. The Chicago Trib's Brad Biggs also passes along "chatter" that the Jaguars are looking into quarterbacks at the No. 4 pick, while it's believed at least half of the teams drafting inside the top ten hope to move down. If a team like the 49ers can't execute a move down the board, we suppose it's possible they could settle for someone like Fournette. It's been reported that the 49ers are considering "giving up" on contract-year RB Carlos Hyde due to persistent injuries.

Jags would be very smart to take Watson


Sent from my iPhone using CarolinaHuddle

Any of these teams that need QB would certainly be smart to take Watson.  If any of these QBs will work and figure it out it will be him.  I think he is similar to Mariota who is coming along nicely.  More of a wild card is Trubisky.  Talent wise it all there physically but as a Heel fan who watched him a lot he is a quiet guy.  I don't see that alpha dog mentality that just takes the drivers seat (a la Watson).  The great ones have that and I have not seen that with him.

The Jaguars are legitimately interested in Deshaun Watson, internal debate over him/edge rusher/o-line to include Howard. Not a smokescreen like San Fran.

Other chatter in the top five indicates the Jaguars, three years removed from selecting Blake Bortles third overall, could go with a quarterback at No. 4. Whether it's legitimate or a ploy designed to attract a trade partner is anyone's best guess but unconnected sources emphasized they are in play for a passer and they are known to have brought Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes in for pre-draft visits.

Well it looks like no players will be left for us to take at 8:

Speaking with league sources, NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah came away with the opinion that he "wouldn't be shocked" if Stanford RB Christian McCaffrey is picked before the Panthers' selection at No. 8 overall

Per Jeremiah, McCaffrey and Temple LB Haason Reddick are two of the "hottest" names in league circles at the moment. McCaffrey has long been connected to the Panthers at No. 8, but his stock continues to soar and it sounds like there's a real possibility he could be the top back off the board. We'd still bet on it being LSU's Leonard Fournette, but McCaffrey likely won't be far behind. "He produces points," Jeremiah's sources said about McCaffrey as the reason teams love him.

Verge I made a post questioning you in the All Pro forum based on the claim earlier this thread that every team has Adams top 2 on their board, and I still find that ridiculous, but I gotta say I really hope you/your source are spot on regarding the Jags. If it's right, Fournette is likely ours.

I mean, how would he know that every team has Garrett is at the top of every board? Scouts talk, people leak stuff, they don't keep everything secret about the top players.
