Eh.....I think we will see about that. Perhaps it has but I suspect that situation is pretty fluid. I understand the "insiders" are hearing that but nothing stays static in the NFL. 

Twenty two accusations getting resolved before the draft would take a miracle.

The Watson ship has sailed.

I can bet you it did not.  The only way that ship has sailed if NFL will find something.  It’s a civil suit and the whole thing seems like an attention grab to keep Watson in Houston and make other teams not to trade for him (you already bought what attorney is selling).

That's the thing, the way this all went down I am waiting to see the overall result and not gonna go off into the weeds of whether he is guilty or not. Let that all get sorted out.

We all go way too overboard on jumping to assume people are guilty based on information streams with partial information, at best. Not to mention how much salacious BS gets blasted by the media and/or the legal system. 

I doubt you see him moved for a while, but I don't expect to see him play in Houston this coming season.

It's something about the Darnold situation that makes me think he could do very well outside of the Jets. If Rhule, Brady and Fit could really get a good feel for his game and see if there is something to bring to us. Then go and get him for somethibg reasonable say a 3rd and then look what we could build with our 1st and 2nd. That is maybe a dream scenario but it would really go a long way to our future success. If there is nothing there so be it but really  do an in depth due diligence

What am i missing here? What’s Darnold done in college or in the pros to make u ever get excited about him possibly leading our Panthers?

I don’t understand any of this “trade for Darnold” talk...closest thing I hope we ever get to Darnold is Dan Arnold

Yeah because Teddy got a fair shot with his o-line and he did have the best rb in davis huh, but even robbie did better with Teddy.

All I'm saying is a move like that is the old regime. Fitz to WAS way of thinking.

Either Watson for the low now or crash and burn with our own drafted QB. 

But on a sidenote he better than z.wilson...

 

Teddy had maybe the best three receiver lineup in the entire NFL and couldn’t eclipse 4000 passing yards. We saw his best season last year. That was it...

I don’t think anyone in the NFL thinks that we’ve seen the best of Darnold yet bc Gase is such a disaster. 
 

Flipping a 3rd for Darnold as a backup to not getting Watson imo is maybe as good or better plan to trading a treasure trove for a top 3 pick. Unless coaches think his problems just aren’t repairable.

Darnold did enough in college to make him a top draft pick.

Mind you, so did Jamarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf.

At the pro level, you have to hope he's another Ryan Tannehill, someone that can look better once he's in a better system.

Is he?

I'm not so sure.

He threw 57 TDs in two years of college (only one year I believe as full time starter) in a pro style offense against top competition...where he isn’t running RPOs, spreading the field with wide open shots all day long. 
 

His numbers basically mirrored Luck coming out of college...and he has the physical tools to go with it. Build a stout OL and give him some weapons in Brady’s system....you have a potential star.

    • I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do
    • No one had posted in a month.  I don't think any of us were watching
    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
