Hot Draft Rumor page leading up to the draft

[Teague31]

I think McKinley and McDowell are better than Barnett or Harris

Vegas has 2.5 QB's and 2.5 WR's being taken in the first. I got $100 on the over on both

I said this over a month ago and was flammed here. Harris has better burst and bend. That's what translates best in the NFL. Barnett is an Anthony Spencer type player. Good vs run 6 sacks.

And yet Barnett was the far more productive player in the same conference. Harris' best sack total was the worst in Barnett's career.

This smells like one of those times when one falls in love with tools and ignores production. It how a guy ike Dion Jordan gets drafted 4th.

Would love to get Barnett.
Not happening though

I saw a rumor somewhere that Dallas really likes Obi Melifonwu as a possible trade up in round 1. I'll try and find the exact post but was wondering if anyone has heard that

I saw a rumor that if the Cowboys trade up in the first round to grab Obi Melifonwu, Sydla might no longer be a Cowboys fan.

Exactly. Happens every year.

I diasgree.his bend,and hand usage(the best int he draft) make him a better prospect than Harris who is not very good with his hands

We will know in 2-3 years. I just don't see enough quickness or burst in Barnett. I could be wrong but we'll see.

If I had to compare the 2 I'd compare :

Barnett=Anthony Spencer
Harris = Whitney Mercilus

Both are good starters ones better vs run the other is better at rushing. IMO

Which one is better at rushing?

OMG no!

I still think they go CB because they're painted into a corner (no pun intended) but if they want the impact with some risk, they go McDowell.
The ends are DLaw-level replacements that add nothing.

Where did you bet, if you don't mind my asking. I'd love to jump on both of those.

I don't want to move up, but I'd be stoked with Obi at 28. He's got all of the tools and he's smart and a hard worker to boot. And those who say he's all bark and no bite should check the statsheet.

I'm starting to think this way myself. I've cooled on Takk, Taco, and Harris. The only guy I would be really happy with at 28 is Watt. I don't expect him to last, however.

 

[Bigdog]

I knew this would happen. I've been saying that teams would get lost in fit and measurables and the real sack artist Barnett would fall to us

I really hope this is true

So do I. Give me production over measurables any day. I am pretty sure all teams would draft Brady now. His measurables were down right awful but he always came away and won when it counted.

Brady's production was nothing compared to Timmy Chang's! Timmy! Timmy! Timmy!

The article paints a less definitive light than the tweet, but this is a rumor thread soooo.

Normally I'd dismiss this because of the stupidity required to make that move, but it is the Browns....

Could happen, but what really differentiates the DBs and 28 and the DBs at 60? I have said all along no matter who you take at 28 there will be warts.

Welp, I guess the bright side for Browns fans would be drafting Sam Darnold next year.

 

[Questfor6]

That doesn't make any sense, or maybe I'm reading it wrong. The Bucs are thinking about moving back into the 1st round and possibly moving out all together?

They want Dalvin Cook but know he's a reach at 19 so why not try and get another 2ND for a new Punter this yr
