    With the closure of these forums in a week, it is with much sadness that I post what will be my final game day thread in this section in board history. Whether you were a fan of my previews or not, I always enjoyed giving small preview of the games leading up to Sunday. On what other board we all settle on as being the new forum, I will continue posting game day threads with previews over there just like over here. 

    Now it's time for the 2017 Draft, and smoke is blowing everywhere as the rumor mill is running wild of who will be picked where. What teams are looking to move down, move up, what player will drop farther than we and most analysts expected. The Cleveland Browns are on the clock officially as they seem to want to have dinner and dessert at the same time. Will they trade up to get Mitch Trubisky after selecting Myles Garrett, will the 49ers ruin any chance of that by taking Trubisky themselves. So many questions, and now it will all come to an end tomorrow night.

    Let me throw this question out here to everyone. Rumor Mill is crazy on where the QBs in the draft will go, who has interest in who, etc. We've seen the evolution of the league into a passing league in recent years where if you don't have a QB you won't succeed no matter what. See what happened to the Raiders when they lost Carr, or Indy without Manning and when Luck is injured. Yet you see a team like us who loses Flacco and yet are competitive with someone like Ryan Mallet. I think a lot of our success without Flacco was in part because we had a TEAM in place that can compete regardless of who the QB is. When you look at someone like the Browns or the Colts without Manning, you see where not having a QB did hurt them. Though ultimately what did it say about the 52 other members of the Colts when Manning went down and they were a 2-14 team or 1-15 team. 

    Has the NFL created a monster in the fact that it forces teams to overdraft and overvalue quarterbacks in a way where they are forced to take bad quarterbacks just because the league says hey you need a QB to compete weekly. Look at how many wasted picks the Browns have made on QBs but yet they have one of the worst teams in the league every year regardless of who their QB is. They put so much stock into a QB that they forget the rest of the team. Then ultimately because of the need for a QB, and the over drafting of bad QBs, coaches and GM lose their jobs because said QB failed and busted. Thoughts?

    Yup from what I hear it's him or Peppers.

    The Broncos are back to irrelevance without Manning and the Steelers will fall to irrelevance once Ben goes. I really hate how whether or not your competitive revolves around having a quarterback and not having one.

    What do you guys make of Lamp's agent implying through a tweet that Forrest Lamp may be our pick at 16?

    http://ebonybird.com/2017/04/25/did-forrest-lamps-agent-hint-at-the-baltimore-ravens-taking-him-in-the-draft/

    For one, if Lamp is our pick he needs to not reference us taking him or any team for that matter. We haven't met with Lamp throughout the process(assuming Ozzie wants to keep the interest a secret) and now his agent tweets this, I'm sure Ozzie wanted to keep it on the down low we were going to take him.

    And Conley it is.  Apparently a strong denial and the story itself is awfully fishy from the alleged victim's perspective.

    Lattimore is tweeting about it in a bad way. Check out his Twitter before his agent tells him to delete the tweets

    Doesnt matter cause the Colts are picking Cam Robinson anyways

    Really? I wouldn't be surprised if they took the best pass rusher available or even Reddick. If Foster is there then he's the pick.

    Rumored to be Malik Hooker...

     

    The fact his agent has said that his client will talk to police after the draft is suspicious in itself. Most teams are going to want to know who he is and find out the truth. This could be a case where a girl is trying to ruin his reputation to cost him millions, or it could be true and they are trying to hide it so he still gets drafted high.

    If I'm a prospect, not only would I not leave my house, but I wouldn't leave my room unless if I had to shower or go to the bathroom. Heck, I'd quarantine my house. 

    They never learn. Apparently another prospect found himself in trouble. Apparently he was accused of sexual assault and now there is reports the police are doing him favors by not filing the report. 

    It says that the prospect will talk to police... AFTER the draft. PFT has learned this player is expected to go in the first round Thursday Night.

    How far does this drop Peppers?

    Think the Ravens draft him?

    That's not the only thing hurting him. Apparently teams are holding it against him that he missed his bowl game  citing that it showed a lack of commitment to his team. Now McCaffery and Fournette did the same but they told the coaches in advance they were sitting out, Peppers made the decision on the day of the game.

    Rumor is 49ers are looking at taking Mitchell Trubisky at 2, but as we get closer to the draft more smoke will be blowing and we won't know fact from fiction until Thursday Night. Bears could be high on Trubisky as well, seems to me the 49ers and Bears are trying to scare the Browns into passing on Garrett.

    Dejavu for the Bills. Last year the Patriots signed RFA Chris Hogan to a offer sheet, the Bills declined. This year, Patriots signed Bills RB Mike Gillislee to a offer sheet, Bills once again declined. 2 years in a row the Patriots have took RFAs from their AFC East rival.  The Bills now receive the Patriots 5th round draft pick.

    Bills declined to match two-year, $6.4 million offer sheet that RB Mike Gillislee signed with Patriots, per source. Gillislee now a Pat.
