The Rumor Mill

[MightyRaven]

I would since we have Eugene Monroe on contract and I don't see titans trading the pick because they are bluffing

I wouldn't be surprised if the Ravens traded up for their guy. We've done stuff like that before and we were interested in getting Mack. What if we [Ozzie] feels that Tunsil is the best prospect ever and another JO and that he can save tons of cap money by trading up for him and cutting Monroe? I think it makes sense. It also makes sense if Ozzie thinks Ramsey is the best player in the class. I would keep an eye out for the Ravens trading up as well, as unlikely as it may initially seem. 

Even if we did get Tunsil, which we won't, why would we cut Monroe only to save 2 to 2.5 million in cap space.  We'd still need to have another LT and he's pretty good when healthy.

TTradesn't a rumor but I tjinkan imagine us being very high on Darian Tho mpson. He just see ms like a classic Ozzie curve-ball. Last year after saying we were not picking a WR, we go out in pick one in the 1st round. In 2014, a season after trading up in the 2013 Draft of the 2nd round for ILB, Arthu r Brown, we draft another ILB named C.J Mosley in the 1st round of the 2014. A lot of people assume that because Webb is making the switch to FS, that we won't simply draft one, I wouldn't be surprised if Thompson is our guy in the 2nd round at all, he can be amazing in the next level. 

I Could most definitely see that, ive got a Hunch oz has him in his crosshairs.

Since tunsil is plan b and they would almost definitely get the 2nd player on their board in that trade, I could see them letting it go for a relatively cheap price. 

My Thoughts exactly.

Its Definitely a possibility. However Im Just still not so sure that theres Not A slim chance bosa or even tunsil Cant Fall to us at 6. Weird things can happen, esp if tenn. Trades back to 7. Say it pans out like this:

 

1) titans swap with san Fran, san Fran takes Goff.

2) Wentz

3) Bosa

4)Buckner/ Robinson

5) Ramsey

BOOM. i know its Unlikely, but with the inevitability of us getting one of the top 3 or 4 on our board i Think we stand pat and just see how the chips fall.

Because you can't rely on him to stay healthy after two consecutive years of being injured. 

[January J]

And even if ten. stays at 1:

1) Bosa

2)Wentz/ Goff

3)Buckner

4) Robinson/ Jack

5) Ramsey

6) Tunsil.

 

I wouldn't rule it out. 

[52520Andrew]

If Tunsil gets all the way to 6, I will type in pink for the next year.  I don't see him getting past 3 and the Jags would be stupid to pass on him as well.

I won't do it if something crazy happens like he gets arrested or injured before the draft but otherwise I will and you can quote me when he gets drafted lol. And I wouldn't be angry about it either as we would have gotten my top player in the draft.

I think Phillip Rivers will be in his GMs ear saying "Dude you gotta take him. I'm old and cripply."

I really feel like he's going there unfortunately.

Mark my words if Tunsil is there at 3 and the Chargers don't take him, Rivers retires that night lol.

If he makes it to San Diego(I still think the Titans go for him as they need O-line help as well and him and Lewan can provide a nice tandem on either side) then I don't see how they pass him up

[RaineV1]

Yeah, Tunsil is pretty much guaranteed to go in the top 3. It's just a matter of if he'll go to Titans or the Chargers.

Yeah I don't know too much about Tennessee but I remember Lewan was drafted for LT so I'm not sure but I believe they're gonna trade out of that spot. Just depends on who.

Browns could take him, too then trade Joe Thomas if they don't like this year's QBs

Only trade I see happening that high is for a team looking to jump the Browns. Then it could get pretty expensive but otherwise I don't think they are getting a good enough offer.

This may sound crazy but I'm thinking maybe the Cowboys. This is Jerry's one chance to get his QB. Romo is nearing the end.

I think the Cowboys are fine sitting back though and I am not sold that they are spending that high pick on a QB. They need one but they may try to get a great player to make a final push. I don't think the Cowboys are giving up a significant investment to move up as I don't view them being that dumb anymore.

Yeah I think his son is making a lot of the decisions now. They could have had Manziel instead of Zach Martin but all in all I do believe you're safe with your gamble. lol

Yeah I think them taking Martin over Manziel may have changed Jerry's tune a bit, especially after seeing what Manziel has done so far.

I'll join you with that bet. I know you never rule out people falling on the day because you never know what'll happen until it happens, but I'm absolutely ruling out Tunsil getting past 3.

I don't think the Browns have the luxury of being picky about QBs. There's no way they don't see Goff or Wentz as an upgrade over McCown. The only way I see them not taking a qb is if they pick up Bradford during free agency.

first rumors i want to post come from walter football, claiming the jags are prioritizing the front seven over the secondary

Rotoworld is reporting the Jags covet Broncos DE Malik Johnson. Since they would have the cap to compete, they very well could sign him. If so, we could have our choice between Bosa and Buckner. Then of course this could mean Jags take Hargreaves or Ramsey if they get Johnson.

[Underdogsontop!]

Many have said that this years draft is deep with D line and O line.... So maybe tunsil could drop some, but to 6th would be terrific! I don't like ND Stanley at 6th. He's a big drop from tunsil imo. He's good at pass blocking but not so good at run blocking.

Ramsey will probably be taken already. But if they are focusing front 7, they could get Johnson in free agency and then draft Myles Jack.

[jboy19]

I'm not sold on the Jags shooting for Malik Jackson. He's pretty similar to Jared Odrick and Sen'Derrick Marks, who are both in JAX for the foreseeable future. Maybe a smokescreen. 

[PurpleCity5]

Matt Miller is reporting that Bosa could drop out of the top 5.

Their defense up front would be stout,  fowler,  Jack,  and Johnson added in the same year.   They have about 80 mill to spend as well.   I said it before on here,  but I honestly think they win that division this year.

Something that I imagine could be a real possibility for us. 

erified accou via

"Once regarded as a can't-miss draft prospect destined to be a top-five pick, Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa's draft stock is slipping heading into the 2016 NFL combine, in the wake of a disappointing 2015 season and several off-field issues.

What incident last year has NFL executives particularly concerned withBosa? How far could Bosa slide in the 2016 draft as a result?"
