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

[top dawg]

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.

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.

Would love for the Eagles to select Perriman.

the thrist is real

[top dawg]

Would love for the Eagles to select Perriman.

 

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...

[Bartin]

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

[LinvilleGorge]

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.

[Carolina Cajun]

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.

[Bartin]

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.

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". 

[Jeremy Igo]

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...

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

Yeah, no poo.

Let us pray

It aint a first

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