I'd heard rumors they were trading up--this Tannenbaum seems to be well known for his propensity to trade up early in the draft and a decent wide receiver would sure go a ways to helping Tannehill out. Fins aren't known (in the past few years) for doing anything but shooting the team in the a*s in the draft....


The Dolphins certainly are going to be a player tonight...I'm pretty interested to see how they go. A lot of rumors around Philbin and Hickey being on the proverbial hot seat. If they're making the pick tonight, you've got to think it'll be a CB or OL...maybe a WR, but with Jennings, that's not a first round need necessarily. If Tannenbaum is running the show, I'm betting on Gurley (if he's there) or a trade up for Parker as they're more long term solutions than they are pieces to a successful 2015 season.

Love the intrigue heading into tonight!

So the Chargers have told Rivers' agent he won't be traded and Ray Farmer is acting coy about the Browns desire for Sam Bradford. I think the most likely trade scenario has Bradford heading to the Browns for the #19 overall pick and maybe a swap of third rounders. The Eagles then trade #19 and #20 this year and next year's #1 (and maybe even their third) to the Titans for the #2 overall.

Huge bounty for sure, but if you're Chip Kelly and want Mariota bad enough, you pay what Tennessee wants.

A bunch of folks are going to gather in the Switzerland forum page tonight for the draft. We figure we will all post in our own team room when its close to each teams draft pick, but for the rest of the time, we wanted to have a central location. Pass the word.

Here's the latest...because I know you all care!

Schefter saying the watch on Shane Ray begins with the Falcons at #8 overall.

Paolantonio and Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt saying Kelly is going to do all he can to get Mariota.

Yahoo (Rand Getlin) reporting that a team with a top 10 pick is prepared to take Randy Gregory.

The Buccaneers want back in to the first round to acquire a DE/OLB like Eli Harold. - Ed Werder This could be the trade back we were looking at Yi. Denver gets more picks and still gets their guy. We'll see...

CAN THE DRAFT HURRY UP AND GET HERE PLEASE???

I think that's not even enough. If you look at how the Rams fleeced Washington the points were Wash ultimately giving up 5490 for the second pick which is 2600 points. That set the bar and everyone will look at discounting it somewhat but even at 75% that still leaves around 4100 points.

The 19th and 20th would only total 1725 points. Number 2 is 2600 points. They would have to give up at least another 1 and some combination of 2's and 3's.

Kelly will have to part with some existing players and another 1 to get even close to making that happen

I'm hearing Fletcher Cox's name along the rumor mills. Not sure that's enough, but with the picks, maybe. Who the freak knows...

Chris Carter says AP will be dealt sometime in this draft, even though I saw the GM say no way we trade him
