2015 NFL Draft

[bloodbrother]

Browns reportedly offering 2 #1's for the Titans #2 overall pick and plan to draft Mariota if they get it. Might take 3 to get it done.

 

Great FO there. Draft a QB in RD1 last season.....only to then want to trade 2 1st round picks + perhaps more the very next season just so they can take a QB again in RD1

Kevin Costner isn't impressed. **** movies. The actual Kevin Costner probably could do a better job.

Eagles doing all they can to move up...

[Brandon]

I probably take that Cleveland deal because it will be a top 5 pick next year.

I thought it was there 2 first from this yr (12 And 19) if I'm tennessee I ask for this yrs 2 first rounders and 2016 1st rounder as well

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

I read the offer was their 2 first round picks this year but there was talk (could merely be writer speculation) Tenn would ask for that 2016 first round pick as well.  A sportsline article I came across yesterday showed what teams have given up to move up for a QB going back to 2001 when Atlanta moved up to get Vick:

[Brandon]

Yeah, my initial thought process is that TENN go no lower than the RG3 deal.

 

TENN have needs, but gather more picks than mid-round 1st picks.

[Chimi]

I really hope the Eagles move up for Mariotta because that will cripple their entire draft and probably next years as well.

Seriously....whats with them entertaining offers on Fletcher Cox, Mychal Kendricks and Brandon Boykin? Hope they trade their first, 2nd, one of those players + a pick next year to move up. Eagles apparently want a 2nd for Kendricks and if I was GB I'd jump at that immediately, but it won't happen. Perfect scenario would have been to deal their 2nd to Philly for Kendricks, then trade down from the 1st round into the mid 2nd while netting another 4th round pick in the process.

 

I think GB trades down anyway tonight.

[Chimi]

They should have never given Chip Kelly the reigns to the team. What's the point in having a GM? He's treating the Eagles like they're a college team and I think he's going to find out that doesn't work. Some of his decisions have been absolute head scratchers that don't make much sense.

Agreed.  Looking at the deals anyone who moved into the top 5 or even 10 to get a QB had to give up a lot more than just 2 picks.  There's enough teams (Philly, Cleveland, NYJ) interested in Mariota that Tenn could come away with something similar to what the Rams got for the RG3 pick.  Given the interest I think they're crazy if they don't trade the pick unless they absolutely believe he's a franchise QB.

Chip is finding guys for his system.

Guys like Mccoy, Jackson we're "me" guys first. They didn't want to buy in to his system of doing things. I don't believe in trading away a lot of picks for a rookie qb not named manning (peyton) or lucK. If chips thinks mm can get them over the hump then so be it. I personally don't agree bc they just won the Division a yr ago

That and look at the history of trades to move up. Almost everyone have been won by the team that got all the picks.

[nando714]

Bears Rams and Jets now being mentioned about trading up to #2.

I love all this chatter and mostly no one will trade up

If they do they're gonna pay a hefty price

[nando714]

Bucs get Winston

[nando714]

How awkward Mariota to Nashville

[bloodbrother]

So glad Leonard Williams was nabbed right before the Bears picked

[Angel Oracle]

An oft injured RB, Rams?

Really? Really? Really? Really??

[AngelsLongBall]

Although to be fair, Marshall Faulk was considered oft injured before they acquired him, and we know how that turned out

[Brandon]

Ha, stupid Chargers. Trade up and give away picks for a player that would have been there.

[Brandon]

Speaking of Rams RBs, what's up with Stacy? I thought that dude was legit.

[Angel Oracle]

I thought Stacy was legit too, not to mention Mason who had a solid rookie season.

[Brandon]

Not sure how I feel about the Chiefs pick.

 

Dude is such a legit talent, but has the off the field issues....but so did Justin Houston.

 

I would have preferred a different need, but they have done well so far that I can't dismiss it right away.

[nando714]

Agholor to Eagles

That makes 69 usc players taken in the 1st round in the modern draft

Leads all schools

[AngelsLongBall]

Haha! 69!
