It really doesn't. Just because the media "claims" people are moving up doesn't mean it's true. They just figure out more the closer things get to the draft and aren't willing to claim stupidity. lol

Under your scenario it seems you believe that teams expect some of these players to be stupid prior to their interviews. That's simply not the case. Now you may move someone up a few spots because he's even more than you expected, but not a lot.

What often times happens is a guy comes in and you find out he's dumber that a box of rocks and he moves down.

possibilities at 12 are endless and then you have players with so much talent with so many ?????

Mixon top 10 talent + the video
Conley top 15 talent + rape allegations no arrest
Sydney Jones top 10 talent + ACL could play this year
Reuben Foster top 15 talent + failed drug test
Corey Davis top 10 talent + hasn't been able to run
Malik Hooker top 10 talent + cant workout for anyone

Has anyone ever seen this much talent at the top of the draft with so many questions going on and there are probably a few guys I have forgotten.

Last year Deshaun was the #1 QB, and I would say that although Wentz really impressed me, I still think that he's better than him and Goff.

So with all the info we have, Dak would be #1 and Wentz or Watson the #2

Report: Broncos looking to trade up

Posted by Mike Florio on April 27, 2017, 2:17 PM EDT

At a time when plenty of teams in the first round would like to trade down, there’s not an overabundance looking to trade up. One franchise exploring it, according to Adam “Stella Liebeck” Schefter of ESPN is the Broncos.

Denver currently sits at No. 20. If they’re looking to move up, it’s not because they generally want a higher position; it’s because they have a specific player or two in mind.

One could be local product Christian McCaffrey, the son of former Broncos receiver Ed. Earlier this week, Broncos G.M. John Elway laughed off the team’s pre-draft meeting with McCaffrey.

“He was close and it was free,” Elway said, laughing. “And we wanted to meet with him. He’s a great kid. We like Christian a lot and we wanted to bring him in. It was one of those [where] he was in the area, so we wanted to take advantage of that to get to see him again. He’s a great kid.”

With McCaffrey expected to go between No. 5 and No. 15, the Broncos could possibly get him without having to go up very far.

No way Trubisky is #1. He only played 13 games. If our FO drafts him #1 they will be fired sooner rather than later. If we draft excellent defensive players with 3 of our first 4 picks (I would not mind the TE Howard), then that can be a good foundation to a solid football team.

Even if it is Jimmy & his homeless buddy that pull the trigger.

Report: Falcons could trade up in first round

Posted by Josh Alper on April 27, 2017, 3:10 PM EDT

We’ve heard a lot this week about teams drafting early that would like to trade down in the first round and the lack of interest from buyers, but there are some teams that are reportedly open to such a move.

The Broncos are reportedly looking to move up from No. 20 and the 2016 NFC champions may be joining them in that pursuit. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Falcons are “plotting a potential move” during the first round on Thursday.

Any move up wouldn’t be done just for the sake of picking earlier in the process, so any deal will almost certainly be contingent on a player the Falcons want being available at the right spot. It’s not clear who that player would be, but pass rusher and guard would be two spots where an addition would make sense.

Unless they are planning something similar to the trade that netted them the pick they used to select Julio Jones, that would seem likely to be somewhere near the end of the round as moving way up from No. 31 would cost Atlanta a lot.

I never mind trading back if everyone available at our pick is "even". Unless Hooker, Howard, Adams falls to 12 at least

If we are at 12 and Adams Allen Howard, Hooker, and Thomas are gone, our best bet would probably be to go corner. If that's the case, I'd take 20 and 51 from DEN, then 31 and next year's 2 for 20. The CB you're going to get at 12 isn't that different than what you'll get at 31.

The rumor is that they want to trade up for McCaffrey. If that's the case they will probably need to get into the top five.

Not Trubisky at one. Media shouting for it, but no way I pray. Keep our one and twelve. Trade with the residue for him if you want him. Trading up puts other choices in reach. Have fun with it. AFTER # 1!!

Have told my Son over and over again ( he is a nervous wreck for this draft ) They will do the right thing at # 1 but will probably screw up # 12 .. lol

They are? I haven't seen one person in the media say we should take Trubisky at #1.

Watching lots of NFLN today and they guy reporting from Berea says Browns are gonna take MG.

You haven't read Mary Kay, have you?
Plus, it's all over the place today.

I avoid Mary Kay Cabot like the plague.

I know some media is saying we might take Trubisky, but I haven't seen anyone say we should.

West coast bias.

I can't wait!

Should take him. Has anyone said we should take him?

Mike Silver is probably the most connected IMO ... He says MG, I trust him

I don't think you don't know the difference between them projecting what we will do and what they would do if they were drafting.

I had read Denver wanted to move up to make sure they got Bolles.

Yep, seeing it again:

If Denver wants Bolles and Atlanta loves Lamp, it could work. Miami could take Lamp at 22.

Are you serious lol

I'm pretty sure he is. If he's not, I am.

One things for sure, we're going to have to wait out the entire night with the possibility of a trade up from 33...

That will be a piece of cake after the wait for pick 1 today. Can't wait.

It's pretty simple. I've had NFL Network on all day. I have heard them say what they thought we would do, yet I haven't heard them say we should draft Trub #1 overall or even trade up or draft him at #12.

There's a big difference in what people think you will do rather than say what you should do.

If you want to actually take a look, most of these draft people have Trub rated as the #2 QB in this draft with Watson rated at #1.

These people understand how weak this QB class is and how much of a reach it would be to draft Trub this early. They just don't trust that we're not fools. I'm worried they may be right. Trub at #12 or a move up is the act of fools. I hope we avoid filling that role.

Not McShay Matt Hasselbeck said it ... "Cleveland Should draft Trubisky"

I've had it on all day too, I wasn't talking about NFLN it was on ESPN where I heard Hasselbeck say that ...

The Kicker from Arizona State?

MKC: Garrett the #1, per multiple sources.
