Kendall Wright has been graded as a first round pick for the longest, as a matter fact you can bet on cleveland taking him or another receiver with there second first round pick, they have pretty much said it out loud. Where have yall been??

Based on the old draft value charts, the Lions 1st and 2nd is only worth around the 14-15 pick. Adding their 3rd wouldnt even get them up to 12. I know many have said that those charts are obsolete but the main reason they became useless were the stupid contracts rookies were getting. With the rookie wage scale in place, the draft value chart has become relevant again and some trades last year were not only in line with it but showed that the early picks were worth MORE than what the chart said. Example, Wash. traded #16 & #48 (worth 1,410 pts combined on the chart) to the Jags for #10 (worth only 1,300 on the chart).

Per Rotoworld, Chargers are serious as well:

The Union-Tribune San Diego confirms the Chargers "continue to talk" to teams about trading up for Alabama S Mark Barron.

There hasn't been a hotter name in the hours leading up to the draft. The Bolts would have to move up at least 8-10 spots with the Bills, Cowboys, Lions, and Patriots also reported to be hot on Barron's trail. The Chargers and Patriots reportedly "love" the draft's best safety.

    • The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at. 
    • If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep
    • I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
