Had another good Skype session last night with a friend I grew up with who’s now a sportswriter in the Bay Area. Here’s some draft nuggets for you:
Looks like Goff #1, Wentz #2. They both have the same agent and Eagles pulled the trigger once they knew Wentz was there. This is baked and done.
San Diego is receiving a ton of calls. Will pick Tunsil if no deal, but felt that the pick would likely be moved. Giants are a darkhorse here.
Dallas is leaning towards Ramsey or Buckner. Bosa was in the mix, but can’t afford more character concerns with the stakes so high. The key with both: scheme versatility. Ramsey could play at corner or move inside and Buckner can move inside in passing situations or keep him outside and really coach him up on batting balls. Made specific mention that Dallas is much harder to get a read on this year than in recent memory.
Side note: character concerns are going to be bigger than ever this draft with leashes being so short. Don’t be shocked when substantial talent plummets.
San Francisco will not be taking a QB this year. Kelly came over specifically to see what he could get out of Kaep/Gabbert. The name he keeps hearing is that Elliott is who Kelly really covets. Brass wants to energize the market and feel Elliott could be that guy.
Thinks Lynch is going to the Saints and that teams will have to jump them to get him. Lynch is favored much more around the league than in mock draft circles.
As a second round surprise for Dallas, look for Noah Spence. Team would take the bait for his talent there, but refuses to burn #4 as that will set the franchise back eons.
