So here's the theory I like. Reported Dorsey has known who he has wanted for weeks. Told Hue Two Days Ago... Baker news started heating up two days ago...
Live from the draft: Goodell: with the 3rd overall pick the New York jets select, Lamar Jackson, qb, Louisville *camera pans back to ESPN analysis table* Bill Polian: *grimaces* the jets just took a project wide receiver with the 3rd pick in the draft
*5 years later Jets win the Super Bowl with Jackson at the helm* Polian: I had him as the #1 player on my draft board
I want it to be during the pre-season so bad. Never has someone been so bad at a job and allowed to stay for so long. (Edit: Except for Marvin Lewis. Fuck that guy too.)
Alright, let's do this. Predicting trades. Cleveland Browns – Sam Darnold New York Giants – Saquon Barkley New York Jets – Josh Rosen Chicago Bears (from CLE) – Bradley Chubb Denver Broncos – Josh Allen Miami Dolphins (from IND) – Baker Mayfield Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Derwin James Cleveland Browns (from CHI) – Denzel Ward San Francisco 49ers – Minkah Fitzpatrick Oakland Raiders – Roquan Smith Indianapolis Colts (from MIA) – Quenton Nelson Baltimore Ravens (from BUF) – Lamar Jackson Washington – Vita Vea Green Bay Packers – Tremaine Edmunds Arizona Cardinals – Leighton Vander Esch Buffalo Bills (from BAL) – Mason Rudolph Los Angeles Chargers – Da’Ron Payne Seattle Seahawks – Calvin Ridley Dallas Cowboys – D.J. Moore Detroit Lions – Harold Landry Cincinnati Bengals – Mike McGlinchey Buffalo Bills – Jaire Alexander New England Patriots – Kolton Miller Carolina Panthers – Mike Hughes Tennessee Titans – Sam Hubbard Atlanta Falcons – Taven Bryan New Orleans Saints – Rashaan Evans Pittsburgh Steelers – Justin Reid Jacksonville Jaguars – Hayden Hurst Minnesota Vikings – Connor Williams New England Patriots – Ronnie Harrison Philadelphia Eagles – Courtland Sutton
I think they'll try and trade up and come up short. At that point, do you reach for Rudolph or try and get to a more reasonable spot?
