Draft Day Rumors

by Harris Oates

Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals fans can exhale as it seems they have made the decision clear that Burrow is their guy and they will not trade for anything. This is the correct move. Click Here for the Source

Redskins

Redskins fans can also relax, as sources say that they are drafting Chase Young despite the Atlanta Falcons all night efforts to trade. Click Here for the Source.

Lions

Although the first two teams are staying put, it is looking like the Lions are willing to trade the #3 pick to the Dolphins or Chargers. This is a smart move as they may still score Jeffrey Okudah or Derrick Brown at 5^th or 6^th overall. Click Here for the Source.

More than ever, teams will try to work out trades before the NFL Draft begins just in case. To that point: The #Lions have been engaged with multiple teams on potentially trading out of the No. 3 spot, sources say. Things have heated up over the last 24 hours. 🔥

Dolphins

If the Dolphins indeed trade for the 3^rd pick there is a high chance, they are actually trying to take the best tackle rather than quarterback. We are deep in smokescreen season, but they may also be targeting Herbert or Love with their later first rounders. Click Here for the Source.

Chargers

The Chargers are also being rumored to take a tackle high and target someone like Eason or Hurts in the second round. Click Here for the Source.

The Packers and Chargers are interested in Jalen Hurts and have held virtual meetings with the QB, per @RapSheet pic.twitter.com/SyyAeXgk5P

Panthers

The Panthers could possibly trade back to acquire more capital since they may not be looking for a QB or OT. Click Here for the Source.

Cardinals

The Cardinals are another team that will likely take advantage of the big 4 offensive lineman. They also could opt to trade back. Click Here for the Source.

Another team in the top 10 expressing interest in trading down: the #Cardinals at No. 8. They currently don't have a second-round pick (DeAndre Hopkins trade). Could be a spot someone jumps up for one of the top O-linemen … or a QB.

Jaguars

The Jags are desperately trying to move Yannick Ngakoue, but it is starting to look like a trade to the Raiders is starting to fall apart. We will watch closely to see if the Jaguars can get the 12^th or 19^th pick. If they land their third first round pick, a QB could be likely with one of those. Click Here for the Source.

The clock is running out on a deal for #Jaguars franchised pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue and there hasn’t been much traction to date. These deals are complicated and difficult — both in settling on compensation and doing an extension with his agent. At this point, unlikely.

Browns

The Browns are looking to acquire a veteran offensive tackle, which could lead them to taking a defensive lineman at 10. Click Here for the Source.

I’m told acquiring Trent Williams is “still on the table” for the #Browns, per source today. "Nothing is imminent or super close right now," but the #Browns are keeping their thumb on the situation–meaning something still may, or may not happen w/Trent before or after the Draft.

Jets

The Jets could be looking for an offensive tackle if there is one of the top 4 left. Click Here for the Source.
