Stonehands Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 More likely for those who want one of the two fast receivers. CB's will be available later than 17, really no need to move there for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Where is this being reported ? At this point if it comes out someone is interested in a pick its usually by the team that wants to trade down from its current pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberjet Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Do you think anyone has contacted the Jets about the #18 spot? probably - just teams doing their due diligence in case a favorable scenerio opens up for them. They would like to know who the potential partners are for a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think anyone has contacted the Jets about the #18 spot? probably - just teams doing their due diligence in case a favorable scenerio opens up for them. They would like to know who the potential partners are for a trade. I'm sure the Jets have received calls. The Dolphins are projected to go OL, so there's probably a couple other teams that are OL needy looking at how to get in front of them too. Everything I've seen is saying that hte OL class is shallow in it's top tier, so that could maybe influence late 1st round teams to jump up to get "their guy". I guess. It's all fluid until it isn't really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I dunno. It's hard to read the tea leaves about this sh*t, but I do think one of them is going to drop. Obfuscation reigns this time of year. Anything can happen, but the top five is littered with the highest degrees of QB needy and I don't think Bridgewater's pro days were enough to do the job. I'd be really surprised if he makes it past Oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone trades in front of the Jets it is either to pick Odell Beckham or Kyle Fuller or to preempt somebody else jumping the Cardinals for a quarterback.

RutgersJetFan Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 My head agrees, but my heart says he makes it to 18. My opinion on the pro day is that it went something like this: Scout: "Boss, he didn't look very good but who knows what he had going on. That's not the guy we saw on tape and in games." GM: "That's good. Tell Mayock that he's horrible and that you wouldn't use a first rounder on him." Scout: "Wait, what? But that's not what I said." GM: "JUST DO IT!!"

RutgersJetFan Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I know. I need to stop getting excited, or I'll end up weeping next Thursday night. I'm sold on Houston passing on Clowney for one of the two. That means the other lands in front of Cleveland, Jacksonville, and Oakland. In the event that all pass, that leaves Tampa Bay and Minnesota in the latter half of the top ten. While Bridgewater or Manziel don't grade out higher than guys like Watkins, Robinson, or Mack, they don't exactly grade out low enough either. I really think this is all just a product of normal pre-draft stuff, and it's been compounded by the extra lag time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned not to get attached to particular prospects because a.) we never end up drafting them, and b.) I was super-pissed we took Wilkerson over Cam Heyward, so what the **** do I know anyway.

Jetfanincanada Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Idzik is a genius, the guy owns the whole league. Now teams are trying to trade up to get ahead of him. But he is a ninja, you cannot outsmart Idzik. He reminds me of the guy they say all those really great things about on those Dose Equis radio commercials.

Integrity28 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Bridgewater I can't believe the amount of maneuvering coming from the "experts" as they posture to be "right" about where he gets picked. LOL Appearing on SportsCenter Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter called the Vikings "a team to watch" for Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater. Schefter indicated he wouldn't necessarily expect Minnesota to draft Teddy at No. 8 overall, but they could be willing to trade back into the end of round one to secure him. The Vikings made a similar move to land Cordarrelle Patterson last April. In other Bridgewater news, Schefter stated NFL teams never viewed him as a truly elite prospect "behind closed doors," despite media speculation to the contrary. "I don't know that he was ever viewed as a No. 1 overall pick," Schefter stated. We expect Teddy's "sweet spot" to be in the 24-39 pick range.

What I'm saying is the Schefter, Kiper, Mayock meatballs are all sort of scrambling to re-align their respective narratives so to put as much distance between what they are saying now and what they were saying 2 months ago.

I think it's a combination of that and also getting played to different degrees by organizations. The latter has become an understated standard over the past ten years or so.

Yep, which is why they all seem to start hedging when the draft gets close - because they are so scared of not "scooping" their competition. It's like cockroaches when you flip the lights on.
