Rumors

[Jay Roosevelt]

My predictions based on current rumors/info/common sense is:

1. TITANS: Cam Ward
2. BROWNS: Abdul Carter (God have mercy on Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson and whoever the Steelers trot out at QB)
3. GIANTS: Shedeur Sanders
4. PATRIOTS: Travis Hunter
5. JAGUARS: Mason Graham
6. RAIDERS: Ashton Jeanty
7. JETS: Armand Membou
8. PANTHERS: Jalon Walker

I'm seeing Walker in many, if not MOST, of the more recent mocks for the Panthers.  Here's my problem, He's not a tackling machine and that's what you want out of an ILB.  He's a 'tweener.  Are we playing him inside or outside?  Sack production is 'meh' for the outside, not so much a QB terror  and inside he's not a ball hound.   This is culminating to be a typical Panthers pick.  You see how 'tweeners end up here with the mismanagement of Jeremy Chinn.

This is my point, especially at #8--Wlaker versus Beason and Keuchley (tackles not recorded for Morgan):

I'd be happy with jalon walker at 8 however as I said in another thread I don't think he makes it past LVR. 

Carroll was part of the organization that drafted Bruce Irvin in the first.

A trade down and netting an extra second would be YUGE for us though. If we do that and get Mykel or Donovan E. Call it a day boys (gender neutral term)

The wildcard in this draft is Jaxon Dart. If a team thinks they can take someone like Carter or Hunter and then move back into the first, that might be a good day.  I could see the Giants doing it. 

I would also watch the Colts--they have Daniel Jones on a one year deal and Richardson at QB, and I might even move richardson to a Cordell Stewart role (anyone remember slash).  They have their eye on Dart, watching to see if Sanders drops because of that Dollar Sign on his shirt--and he was recently seen at a Star Wars convention dressed as Chancellor Palpatine.

I think some of our visits suggest that is the plan if they can get the deal.

What would it take for us to move back to 9 and let NO get their guy and prevent someone like Indy from jumping them?  Would you do it for a 3rd or insist on the 2nd?

if a QB is involved, I am fairly sure you could get the second--or maybe a second next year or better.  I can't understand why the Colts are not being mentioned in any of the QB rumors I have heard.  Pittsburgh (if they get Rodgers) , NO, Giants--they have better QBs than Indy...

Steelers says they are signing Rodgers.  Won't prohibit them taking a QB though.

They both back themselves into a corner where neither had options.  Kind of a weird way to start a relationship, but I guess it could work out.

Explain to me why nobody is talking about the Colts taking a QB---am I missing something?  Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones, and QB/WR Jason Bean.  If I am the Colts, I get a QB and if Sanders drops past 7 or so, the decision just got easier.
