I think Beckham's great but I have to believe these links with the Bills are draft nonsense. The last thing we need is another six foot wide receiver, unless he's elite (ie, Sammy Watkins). I think the Bills are trying to encourage teams to trade up to #9 for him.

I guess the Bills might really, really loving want Clowney:

The Bills, were told, have been burning up the phone lines in an effort to work out a deal that would vault them from No. 9 to No. 1 or No. 2. The targets are believed to be defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and tackle Greg Robinson.

Lets go completely left field with Atlanta. Dimitroff decides he still wants to make a splash and is getting buyers remorse over Matty Ice's contract (and/or wanting to get in on this sweet sweet gravy train of cheap QBs in the first 5 years). So he trades up for Bridgewater and puts Matty Ice on the trading block for someone like Arizona or Minnesota. Never gonna happen but at this point I am no worse than all the other reporters who don't have a clue.

Edit: the Bills d line with clowney would be absurd. Like seriously something like that might actually make good players *want* to come to Buffalo in free agency.

Would not be surprised at all if ultimately a 2015 1st round pick and a 2014 3rd is enough to go from 6th to 1st. Stay tuned

Bottom line is no one is buying Texans are locked in on a guy at 1, know the

y could get QB at 6 or lower. Asking price will drop I reckon

No way in hell I'd take that deal. You go from Clowney or your choice of QB to leftovers and third.

I think there is an interesting dynamic in the trading talks, in that both 1 and 2 are very open to trades but really it's one player that everyone is after, so who can you safely go to?

Sportscenter held an intensely stupid Mock Draft and treated it as if it was actual news, including reporting on fake trades, with all the local beat writers for each team making picks.

The Bills beat writer traded up to take Jadaveon Clowney. Manziel went to the Browns, Bortles went to the Texans, Bridgewater fell to #29 where the Jaguars beat writer traded up, and the Vikings beat writer traded up to 31 to take Derek Carr.

NFL.com has their own mock draft, except they don't list the picks, just tries to play 32 videos of pundits making/discussing each pick.

This is the content we get instead of rookies having had playbooks for the last two weeks.

It's worth noting that the Vikings beat writer somehow got the Texans to give him two picks to swap the 8/9 spots (Texans were at 9 from the Bills trade) so the Texans could draft Bortles.

So, all the writers, pundits and other experts suggest there are 4 objective elite talents in this draft. The Browns have the #4 pick. No matter what, one or more of those players will be available to the Browns.

Looking forward to the Browns blowing the pick on the worst QB in the class as per usual.

If we draft Tom loving Savage or another noodle arm motherfucker I will seriously consider renouncing fandom.

I think St. Louis is silly to pass on Watkins, because they are a very competitive team with him added to the mix. Oakland has to want to trade down, but last year was an extreme circumstance where the player on the top of McKenzie's board was for sure going to be there at 12. It would have been silly not to trade down for a 5th, really. This year, that's probably not the case, and there's some very good top end talent in the draft, so I don't expect them to budge without an offer that warrants it.
