RG3 going to the Browns. Does this affect them targeting a QB in the first round?

That is an amazing skill set. But, the real question is can the football talk back?

I would hope so. Talking to a football without getting any sort of response would be a bit of a red flag

Listenbee: Hey ball

Ball: You talkin' to me? huh? You talkin' to me?

Spoke to Paxton Lynch just a moment ago. He said he's flying to Kansas City today to meet with the #Chiefs tomorrow.

Listenbee ran mid 4.3's while battling sports hernia...that speaks to both his speed and toughness. One of my favorite WRs to study. 3rd rd

Track guy that avoids contested passes and isn't a natural hands catcher, pass until day 3.

Yeah, stupid auto-correct and me not proof-reading.

He catches with his hands, man. I agree that he's best had in the third day, though. I think a 3rd round pick is a bit high myself. I see him as a 4th rounder.

I don't agree with Adam Schefter. I think a QB will definitely be taken but not with their #2 pick. I expect the Browns to take Connor Cook or Paxton Lynch (if he drops to 31) with their 2nd round pick.

 

 

Yeah I've heard a ton of tumors the Browns want to move back. One team I heard that wants to move in for Wentz is philly. I think every move the Browns have made this offseason suggests a trade back.

That makes no sense that the Eagles want to move up for Wentz after giving Bradford $35M over 2 years and $21M to Chase Daniels. 

[rayven98]

Eagles are stocked up on qbs.  If wentz makes it to the #6 pick who gives up the haul to get ahead of san fran?

[ravensdan]

I seriously wouldn't count the Eagles out. If they feel he's the next Aaron Rodgers it's not like he will be paid a kings ransom. I don't believe the Bradford deal is guaranteed for very long.

Eagles are stocked up on mediocre QBs.

Bradford is signed for only 2 years and Daniels is just a high-paid backup. If there is a QB they like, then there is no reason to not draft him just because of those two being on the roster.

Just hope they're not playing against Montee's team.

L.A. Rams. 

But it might not matter if the 49ers can't trade Kaepernick.

I'm gonna post these when I find them, but this is really good material from Matt Miller:

[RavensFanMania]

If the Eagles do trade up to #1, we could Wentz and Goff going back to back.  This would make for a very interesting first 6 picks.

[Davesta]

If none of the QB are selected within the top 5, Ravens in a pretty good spot to ask for that "kings ransom" for QB-needy teams.

Then again, I'm pretty sure Wentz is hoping the Eagles interest in him is true. Also that Tennessee passes on Ramsey/Tunsil and the Eagles offer enough to move up to number one to take him. I'm pretty sure he would take being in Philly over Cleveland any day of the week.

I'd actually have to argue that Phillys front office may be the worst in the league right now. They had some pieces, chip shipped em out, injuries and a lack of qb killed his plan, they fired chip before he could build his team, then after chip leaves they make massive bonehead moves the whole offseason. They are seriously notching this whole thing lol

Philly's FO is both bad and good. They often make terrible decisions in FA, yet they have a way of getting out of their goof-ups like no one else. Plus they have an uncanny ability to fleece other franchises out of moderately-high draft picks for mediocre QBs. 

Unloading the Maxwell contract AND moving up to #8 in the draft deserves an A+ in my book (you could give the Maxwell signing an F, but that's on last year's report card )

Anyway, here's an updated list of who we've brought in for a private visit: Blake Countess, Cyrus Jones, Reggie Ragland, VH3, Noah Spence (also interviewed at Senior Bowl). And they recently interviewed Arizona safety William Parks at his Pro Day.

Eagles FO is like Billy from white men can't jump... They hustle you out of your whole paycheck and then lose it all on a stupid bet

I have read two separate accounts of how the ravens would consider a rather substantial trade down to get a safety they like.

I presume this to be far fetched but if it were so I'm guessing we would get picks in this draft and next year.

The Ravens were willing to move down from 16 to wherever the Rams were in 2014 to ensure that they got a future first round pick on top of other picks, so I wouldn't put it past them to move down far.

I don't doubt we would.  I think the hard part is getting a team to give up that future 1st round pick.  It hasn't exactly worked out lately for teams that have given up that pick.

Nor has it worked out for teams that had 2 first round picks either if you think about it. See Browns as an example.

[JoeyFlex5]

Bet. Our primary choice in this draft is to trade back for a future first and target Lawson or dodd. 

[Edgar]

Next year's draft looks to be a good one so an extra on plus a pick or two this year while scoring a Dodd, Lawson,Floyd might be a good thing.

Both reports had us going to the back end for a safety.
