"Verge's Draft Day Thread" or some such.

[Verge]

As suggested by a certain huddler  

Here are all the things I have heard up to the build up for this week: 
-Saints have made calls to DEN, DET, and MIA to see the price on a trade up 
-If Sewell is on the board I would not expect Carolina to trade down, if he is not they will look that direction if possible
-We are high on two corners Horn/Farley 
-Lots of players are going to drop because of opt out, it will be a theme tonight 
-Elijah Moore is being underrated pretty much everywhere, his floor is 29 
-Teams like the depth of this offensive class, so there will be a run on corners early to offset that 
-Raiders may take yet another curve ball in the first round on a corner 
-I still here QB at 4. We should hope it is Fields as more teams are motivated to trade up for Lance
-Edge rusher to Giants at 11 
-There will very likely be a 6th QB in the first round (Mills/Mond/Trask) 
-Steelers top priority is getting Najee Harris
-Lions tried to trade up for JaMarr Chase, make of that what you will 
-Patriots are not going to trade up for a QB they are comfortable with Cam and Jimmy G 
-Saints love Caleb Farley and may look to jump us for him if we move back
-Justin Fields could fall farther than expected, could be deja vu for the WFT
-On the Fields note, if he does fall Chicago will be ultra aggressive in obtaining him
-If Chicago cannot trade up or trade back into the 1st for one of the big 5, I would expect them to trade down in the 1st to get Davis Mills or Kellen Mond 
-Chicago is very high on Rashod Bateman as are a few other teams in the late first 
-Minnesota loves Vera-Tucker and could look to trade up for him if needed 
-Bills love Etienne 
-Do not be surprised if Carolina is not able to trade down out if 8 if Sewell is gone that they just stick at 8 and go with Waddle or Horn/Farley
-Micah Parsons could experience a fall into the late teens 

Enjoy the draft tonight everyone! More importantly, stay safe!

If Fields is there at 8 and Sewell is gone do you really think we pass him up for Waddle or Horn/Farley? I really just can't see that. My guess is it won't matter and Fields is gone in the top 6 anyways, but we'll find out in less than 12 hours... Thanks for sharing this Verge, good stuff.

I really don't see us taking Fields. I know there are a few people within our organization that like Fields but it seems like an "all in" kind of move to me.

Hoping Fields is there at 8 and we pull the trigger. I swear, people are sleeping on that kid and he’s gonna be a star. I was on the Herbert train last year and that worked out pretty well, so I’m trusting my gut again and rolling with Fields. 
 

Either way, this will be the most exciting and entertaining draft in a long time. I got my popcorn ready. 
 

[Verge]

It's one of the first times in a while I feel really good about the Panthers in the draft, like no matter who they take at 8 I am happy about it. Unless it's Farley because that would be pretty high for a medical risk like that. Plus not having Hurney make the pick is relief within itself.

I don’t see how we trade bridgewater and go into season with Darnold, PJ, and Grier. I can’t believe Fields isn’t in consideration at all. I heard Farley back is terrible don’t see us picking him definitely not at 8. Horn would suck at 8 but I guess Waddle would be ok

[Mr. Scot]

Saw someone this morning say they were hearing that Rashawn Slater or even Alijah Vera-Tucker could be to pick at #8.

That sounds more like a trade back to me but they said at 8.

We do like Slater, but I agree on the trade back.

[woahfraze]

Yea, I don't understand the Fields (apparent) fall.  I've watched a lot of YouTube breakdowns (Brett Kollman and JT O'Sullivan, in particular), and he looks like the real deal.

Still hoping for Sewell but prepared to be disappointed

There are lots of scenarios where we do get him.
