Draft rumors

[Guiness]

pft.com is getting tips left and right. Dolphins not expected to trade up for Tannehill. J Jankins off a number of team boards (Twitter started cursing about this one as they envision him falling to the Packers ) Mark Barron will not make it to Cowboys at #14.

I don't think Tannehill should be in a conversation that high up the board? But he's the 3rd QB in the draft, so his stock is inflated. Good chance that will result in a reach and probably a burned first round choice when more proven talents are available.

lol @ Jankins. You had me searching for that, and all I found was a Bulldog freshman NT named John Jankins! The search showed Janoris's last name with both spellings, including one site that had both spellings in the same article.

Just heard on the radio that STL is looking to trade up to 3 with MINN to get Richardson.

ROFL!

If you check the video I posted, Marshal Faulk is drafting for the Rams, and he said there was no way they take Richardson, because he knew for a fact that Jackson would not/could not play with another feature back. The others questioned him about that, and he said he knew it for a fact.

So is St. Louis fuck-up central, then?

No. When they traded down from 2 to 6, they received Washington's 2nd round pick (#39), and Washington's 1st round picks is 2013 and 2014. They'd likely have to give up one of their 2nd round picks to move from 6 to 3. So they get Richardson, still have a high 2nd round pick, and have 2 1st round picks the next 2 years. Not bad in my opinion.

I think it's a good deal for the Vikings as well.

The fun part of PFT this time of year is that yesterday they reported that Tannehill might fall past pick 20.

That's how we started this thread

As an outsider though, I think the Jets are a lot more than a stud RB away from being a contender.

I would think a coach and a quarterback should be high on their list.

Ted Thompson will release a photo of his draft board prior to the draft so we can all follow along.

It was tremendous fun when Jerry did two years ago.

Buffalo is publicly clamoring to go up to #3 (for their first and second I guess) for the Vikings pick.

Jets no unlikely to trade up for Trent Richardson unless Rex gets indigestion and wants to call it an early day.

All from Twitter and PFT.

Ok, explain to me why moving from 6 to 2 cost Washington those three picks, but moving back to 3 (just one spot lower!) would only cost them their 2nd rounder????

I don't doubt it, you probably have it right. But wow something is not right with that! I don't care that picks are de-valued by a round if they're a year later, Washington is going to be sorry if they have to watch the first round from the bleachers the next two years.

Because Washington is crazy. I guess they thought enough of RGIII to give up that much. And maybe the Vikings will ask more than a 2nd to move down 3 spots. If so, I wouldn't do it if I were St. Louis. Richardson is a great back, but you can win a Super Bowl without one.
