A lot of speculation it's for Sanders, but I don't buy it. 

Totally agree. This could be complete smoke, but I wonder if Dart goes before Sanders?

@PSchrags
says there's some "buzz" in New York about Jaxson Dart being the "preferred quarterback to Shedeur Sanders" for the Giants ?

And in a completely unrelated manner, rumor is Carson Beck is a dick.

"The Giants are going to draft Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe and Tyler Shough. They like them all and I'm hearing they may take one at 3, trade back from 3 to take one and pick up a few assets, trade back into the first round to get one, stay at 34 and take one or not select one at all. Very interesting developments."

Like I said a bit ago, Minnesota's A+ free agency is necessary to keep up with the rest of the NFCN. We need some starters and contributors from this upcoming Draft. I expect the Vikings to spend a bunch of money on UDFAs, which is being said to be one of the best pools available in years. Minnesota isn't stingy in that arena and I guarantee that is part of the plan.

Chicago will get incrementally better this year, 7 or 8 wins. They are building what could be a talented competitive team with a top-tier RB in Jeanty. I don't see Jeanty as a generational back, but a pretty damn good one.

Jerry Jones says that he's working on "two pretty substantive trades" that could happen before or after the draft.

Bears GM Poles earlier said that 'this Draft is going to be full of moves, trades and deals' (paraphrasing). Jerrah just said he's got potentially two deals in the works. Buckle up.

Guys. Let’s step back from the ledge. We weathered Walter Payton and Barry Sanders just fine. I think we’ll survive Ashton Jeanty if it comes to that.

lol, agreed. And the Vikings had Adrian Peterson, how many Superbowls we win?? Jeanty is no AP.

So I don't know if anyone is catching the latest smoke rumors but LMAO they are ALL over the place: contradictory, hyperbolic and some just plain stupid. Some 'insiders' going the complete opposite of what they said yesterday. The hype machine is on Red Bull and Espresso, while reaching for another hit of the crack pipe.

LOL. Some NFL GMs will never learn.....they'll overdraft Milroe guaranteed. He's not a QB.

: Jalen Milroe "is the fastest guy on the goddamn field. He was outrunning angles. He's just so f---ing erratic."

An NFL assistant coach on Shedeur Sanders:
“The worst formal interview I’ve ever been in in my life. He’s so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates, but the biggest thing is, he’s not that good.” (via @TomPelissero)

on Quinn Ewers: "There's just no juice in his body"

Draft Day is here....the stuff we hear today leading up should be the closest to the truth, usually how it works with the Draft.

Sidenote: Do you think Sanders is getting unfair criticism? The sports media has been ALL OVER this quote from an unnamed NFL source by Tom P. bashing him, saying its unfair and biased. I don't think he is, but what happened to being critiqued honestly? If this is how the source feels, then so be it. Sanders will be able to prove them wrong if he's capable. If he's not a first round QB talent, then he's not. Why cry about it? The dude on GMFB, Kyle Brandt, who seems fine most times went on a rant about what bullshit it is to have this 'anonymous' quote digging on Sanders. Really? These hypocrites LIVE on 'unnamed sources'.

This draft is all about fit. That’s what every team keeps telling me. Rankings on these players are all over the map. Teams don’t seem concerned. They like their pods of players and don’t really care if there’s perception of a reach.

Sounds like the Chicago Bears have a trade agreement in place in the #NFLDraft tonight. Source says a tentative deal was hammered out yesterday afternoon. Buckle up. As GM Ryan Poles said Tuesday, “This one is going to be a little wild.”

Doogie just said he's hearing LG for Minnesota if the board falls right. I'd be stoked.

According to
@DWolfsonKSTP
, JJ McCarthy has been “pounding the table” for the #Vikings to draft Alabama G Tyler Booker. Both players played together at IMG academy.

This is why you want Tyler Booker:

hmm.....

Interest doesn't always get the deal done, but it seems Vikings are all in and ready to take a big swing. That shows a shitload of confidence in JJ McCarthy.
