Well, I mean he has been the worst QB in the NFL in recent years...

Yeah I get it. I’m not thrilled about it, he is just nice insurance so we don’t get in some absurd bidding war. There is some potential there, and obviously a good amount of risk...

The sucky part is, IF this happens with SF (and I don't see how, logistically/cap-wise), that'd put GB at the #3 spot in the draft. GB has already invested a 1st on Jordan Love, so I doubt they go QB at #3, which means position player.

This *could* be bad news for the Panthers and their hope for Sewell/Slater/Horn

Side note: Rumor has it, Rodgers is complaining about the lack of WR help. It'd be funny if the Packers used the #3 pick on Chase...considering Rodgers is then gone.

I'm crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes and nose hairs in hope.

I'd cross my ears, nostrils and butt cheeks if I could.

Can we do something about this post?  Can we start a thread called "Draft day Therapy?"

I’m still trying to figure out why so many huddlers are taking this person so seriously.

Why are you so special?

you must be one of those with “sources”

Couple of things here...

1) History: Verge has correctly predicted things in the past. That includes stuff that wasn't common knowledge or already out there in the Twitterverse.

2) Corroboration: That tweet from Jonathan Jones just a few pages back? Yeah, Verge had that info hours ago (actually days ago if you wanna get technical).

Is Verge always right? No, but show me someone who is. Even established insiders like Rapoport and Schefter wind up with wrong info because that's just the nature of the beast. Things happen that make teams change their minds. Sometimes nothing happens but a team changes their mind anyway. And of course, there's the steady flow of bullsh-t from teams trying to throw other teams off their trail.

Bottom Line: As with anyone who has or claims to have inside sources, it's an individual choice whether to trust them or not.

For others, do what you think best.

Me? I choose to trust Verge.

I also make a pretty mean lasagna.

I said THEY must be sold on Darnold to trade back. I think they are crazy to think Darnold is the answer so IMO they should draft a falling QB (not Mac) if they are there at 8 for security. If they only QB left by 8 is Mac then draft BPA. 

So your answer for taking another QB is they are crazy in your opinion if they think Darnold is the guy? I'm sure explaining that to Tepper or the press as a solid reason for taking another QB instead of a tackle or whatever would go over well. "Well you see, what happened was there was this guy on this message board that thinks we're nuts..."

Why not take Jones if he is there and they need security for Darnold? Jones is a highly rated QB in this class.

    • 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.
