trade rumors (post 'em)

[Superman]

Yes, this is copy-n-paste, apologies if it puts sand in your vagina, but figured it would be cool for us to have one thread related to rumors seeing as how there seems to be a lot of talk about teams wanting to move up/back.

[coupon]

you were right. this is cool.

 

[Spike]

ha ha

the Stellers will never trade


write that down

 

[Superman]

Spike's Football Forecast is back? WHOA!

 

[CorpusDsteelers]

Dallas might trade up four spots with rams for Donald

 

[coupon]

they're gonna stop having the sun, so you'd better get tan. I predict

 

[CorpusDsteelers]

I heard about a philly move going up to 15

 

[deljzc]

This will be interesting just to see which are true and which are complete bullshit.

After the weekend you have to edit the original post with TRUE/FALSE in red font.

 

[STEELERS R GR8]

There’s reportedly a “real chance” Stanford LB Shayne Skov goes undrafted. (Tony Pauline)

Did I miss something on this guy or is this just one of them smoke screens? Everything I read about this guys was good.
Also was hearing a lot about the Falcons making a play for the #1 pick to take Clowney

He ran a 5.09. That's worse than Vontaze Burfict. And Skov isn't supposed to be that type of head case and his film isn't NEARLY as good as Burfict's was.

Running over a 5 and closer to a 5.1 is death for linebackers. I know Spikes overcame it (his tape was a lot better than Skov too), but Hightower (from LSU) and Burfict fell like rocks.

 

[Stryker]

Rumor has it that Supe's manliness is being traded for a can of tuna.

Yeah I did see that and I know that is gonna hurt his stock but everything I read(i have not seen him play) was he was one of the smartest LB's out there. I have not done much reading on him but the one thing about Skov was that he was a smart LB. This just caught me off guard......

 

[Omar10213245]

God I hope the rats actually do draft Ebron

 

[Drink IRON City]

Rumor has it that Supe's manliness is being traded for a can of tuna.

There is already, video proof, but once man figures out how to put smell on tape, the tuna will no longer be needed.



Salute the nation

Rumor this morning on Mike and Mike was Cleveland might trade the #26 overall pick in the 1st round to Washington to Kirk Cousins.

 

[TMC]

I hope not. I like Kirk Cousins, think he is probably better than any prospect in this draft. That would be a great move for Cleveland.

 

[ZACKB]

I wouldn't give anything higher than a third for Cousins.

Hightower played at Bama...

 

[ZACKB]

Dammit people. Skov had an injury for his workout. Thast is why he ran so slow. Do some homework.

Which means Cleveland will give a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I love Cleveland.

 

[ZACKB]

They won't trade for him. I think Jax takes Manziel, Clev takes Watkins. Clev will take Bridgewater or Carr at 26...maybe even trade ahead of AZ.

 

[TMC]

Hearing that Mettenberg has Spondylolysis (stress fracture on 4th/5th vertebrae) and if it deteriorates, he could need surgery later in his career. Could see him slide.

As for Skov, his trainer said they were hoping they could get into the 4.8 range. Sorry, your trainer hoping you can get down to 4.8ish does not reek of confidence in his speed. He could have ran at the combine. Healthy scratch. Did not run at Pro Day because of hamstring, waited, ran later. That is on him. Had the opportunities to run when healthy, decided not to do so. Do not know if he is any faster, appeared to lose some speed coming off significant knee injury. Two down run stopper at best. He may be better than Vince Williams, may not. Hard one to call. Neither will be a 3-down guy and neither are buck prospects. Blah. It would be like drafting another RT. How many do we need?

 

[TMC]

Houston and St. Louis are looking to move down. Atlanta appears the team most wanting to move up. Jason LaConfora thinks that the Falcons could end up getting the #1 pick for the #6 this year, 3rd round pick, and next year's first.

 

[TMC]

Also, not sure if anyone knows this, but Kyle Fuller has been training with Ike Taylor.
