2019 NFL Draft Predictions

If all the QBs drop that would put some pressure on teams needing defense and offensive line. I cant imagine the Giants passing on QB in the first but they may think they can wait for the second first round pick to grab a top three.

So by this line of reasoning, if the Packers are on the clock with the 12th pick of the first round and there is a QB sitting there that they strongly believe is the next Aaron Rodgers/Patrick Mahomes, and because Rodgers is aging and played hurt the last two years, you'd be okay with that pick of a QB?

Yes.

Cardinals have been leaking to more than Bryant to get word out that they may not take Murray #1. So ether they want out of the 1st pick or they want more value for suddenly unavailable Rosen (more likely).

So hard to predict. I think trade down and then up, but what if someone they had as the last prime name....a top 5 guy on their big board drops to them. No way they trade out of that. Problem is that we don't have a clue what that big board looks like. I have that hunch Dillard is definitely Gutes top T, but that is based more on combine #'s and look than anything. I know that I think Sweat and Oliver are top 5 guys, but I don't know that the heart thing is an issue or not. I also don't know if Gutes has an issue with Oliver's size. Hell, for all I know Gutes has watched tap of Farrell and has him right there with Allen and Bosa.

I am confident of the strategy, but not knowing how Gutes has them ranked and without seeing how 1-11 go, we can only wildly speculate....ah how I love the internet.

Well, there it is in a nutshell: Since we don't know Gute's board, we can't really know his strategy, at least not yet. This is a good post, Bobble. Without knowing what Gute's board looks like, we're all just guessing - which, admittedly, is fun.

I wonder if we can glean anything from last year and from his work with Thompson.

I would say no to that b/c I'm holding out hope we can make one more run with Rodgers.

Gute will have to push every right button for us to get there, but there's a chance.

[Fritz]

I hope Gute knows what those buttons are, and gets lucky with this draft, whether that's a ridiculous trade offer because Washington or somebody wants a QB and is willing to give up a lot to move up the three spots, or whether a superstar or two falls into his lap in the first round's picks that he has.

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider's professed love for defensive end Frank Clark apparently wasn't deep enough to prevent him from sending Clark elsewhere.

The Seahawks agreed to trade Clark to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, a 2020 second-round pick and a swap of third-round picks in 2019, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday, via sources informed of the transaction.

So that's a late first-round pick, and a second next year?

Pretty good haul.

Damn, chiefs gonna be a force next year
