For those of you hoping that we get the "next Adrian Peterson" this draft class, there may be a chance we could afford the real one.

According to the MMQB, Adrian Peterson is willing to play "for the right team" at "$5 million or less." A pretty decent deal for a RB looking to prove he still has some tread left on his tires.

2. Adrian Peterson might wait (or have to wait) till after the draft to sign.But the good sign, I hear, is that he’s willing to play for a reasonable sum for a 32-year-old back with two washout seasons in the past three years. I hear in the right situation he would be willing to play for $5 million or less. He’s had a few visits, the most recent of which was New Orleans, which could hold some fascination because of the proximity to Peterson’s Houston home, and because Sean Payton would know well how to use him. But right now, I’m told there’s no leader in the clubhouse. After the draft is smarter for him and for teams, because that’s when teams can see most clearly their needs.

And now for some juicy draft "rumors"

Teams that seek to trade down:

6. Teams that want to trade down. San Francisco (two), Chicago (three) and the Jets (six) are the ones I hear are most antsy to move back in a market with few teams wanting to move up.

9. The second pick is a fascinating, and a bit unfortunate, spot. So the book out there is that there’s Garrett, and then there’s about 15 other players who could be number two on 32 draft boards. But that doesn’t necessarily mean new San Francisco GM John Lynch won’t have a strong market for the pick, because if a team loves, say, Trubisky and feels it must get him, the Niners will be able to move down even if the return isn’t as lucrative as a traditional trade-down from that slot.

Fournette stock isn't as high as stated?

8. Leonard Fournette is not Ezekiel Elliott. Some durability concerns with Fournette, and there’s lots of different opinions about which back goes first, and which sinks like a stone.

So there you have it. Some nice speculation to make you wish draft day was finally here.

I predict 2 QBs will be taken in top 10 , This will push Fournette down to 8, & allow us to move up again to grab either McCaffrey or OJ Howard

guys, we're taking mccaffrey and some dumb motherfuging teams are trying to take him from us because out of any team who lands in the top 10, our rivals can't stand to see us land a stud weapon to reload with. they know if we get a legit weapon to help Cam we'll be back to dominating even better than before. all we can do is sit back and patiently wait for the longest 7 picks to come in.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Gettleman found a way to get both Fournette and McCaffrey somehow. Use them as a 1-2 punch once Stew is gone. CAP and Fozzy get cut in this situation.

that might be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Would be the happiest person ever if we got both without giving up too much though

I wouldn't be shocked if the Patriots traded their backup QB along with a couple picks to move up in the top 6 and pick Trubiskey.
