I've got OBJ in fantasy. I'd be pleased if he went ANYWHERE else really. San Fran... Rams... anywhere.

My mate @Kraken is devastated. Jerruh put up the X on Dez...

How much will he get and where will he end up? I'd love it if Eagles had the room and snaffled him. They don't of course.

Comment I read yesterday was that Dez said “I’ll see you twice next year” so that leaves 3 teams he could go to , giants, skins and eagles...

Yeah, but even among WRs he carries on like a pork chop. Hasn't been dangerous or scary since he did his ankle. Is worth more to opposition teams making it all about him, than he is to the teams he plays for.

I reckon as a GM with the whole "Dallas for life" thing, it'd be hard to get excited about a player who has DIVA concerns but doesn't produce well enough to have them. Will have to be a Red Zone threat at best, like Jimmy Graham. I don't reckon he'll be able to choose where he goes nearly as easily as people are saying. At Rams for example he'd be third biggest target.

Good foil for Jefferies...

 

Where do u think he goes?

[Clintosaurus 7,936]

I'd take Dez at the Jags. I reckon he would be an unbelievable slot receiver, like Anquan Boldin or Larry Fitz.

So the Draft is soon, think the rams are just coming for day 3...

Eagles are still partying... Won't be attending at all.

Interestingly, they hosted the draft last year, and within a few months hoisted the Lombardi in the same place. After all the Dallas trolling. Pretty sweet. Only problem with that... It's in Dallas this time.

 

So speaking of draft... How we feeling @Macca @Clintosaurus @Gorgoroth @Kraken @JV7 @DeeSpencer? Any early picks?

Aside from the usual QB talk, I'm interested in Barkley the most. Will he be Zeke or Richardson? And what about Chubb?

Speaking of QBs.... The Foles trade didn't end up happening @Macca

That's right Dappa ... from memory Gorg made the call that Foles would end up staying. 

I suppose the whole 'will he/won't he stay could go on for quite some time though ... especially if/when the Eagles make the switch back to Wentz.  It's still newsworthy from my point of view.

As for the draft,  I know that the Packers have a stack of picks outside of the first 3 rounds ... 12 picks in all over the 7 rounds.  Whether we use them all is another matter.  Our needs are many especially at CB,  RB,  OL,  OG,  SS & TE. 

I'm not up with all the prospective would-be draftees but I never usually am until the last couple of days or so before the draft ... and sometimes just on the day! 

The other question is whether the Pats trade up for a QB prospect - there's been plenty of talk especially surrounding Josh Rosen.

Interesting fact that I heard the other week ... that a 3rd of all NFL players from year to year are undrafted players.  Considering there's over 2000 total players in any given year on various rosters that makes about 650+ undrafted players.

Heard Rams might trade up to the 30's if one of two OLB are available, but no names were mentioned and i dont know how we get there.

 

Foles might go if a team loses their starter for the year within the first few weeks as teams will give up more whwn desperate. And by then the Eagles will know how Wentz is tracking.

I think we all settled on that. The debate was more about what he'd be worth in a trade, rather than the likelihood. I thought all along that with Wentz's knee being as it was, the preference would be either a first rounder, or to keep him. As you say, it'll go on and on the will-they-won't-they talk. Part of me thinks they might eventually tire of the speculation and move him on just to stop the external noise.

That's not quite right Dappa ... you and I thought he may get traded before the 2018 season but it looks like he'll at least start the season in the absence of Wentz. 

We were talking about the possibility of Foles being traded whilst his currency was high etc etc.  That is how I remember the conversation.  

Gorg's opinion was that he'd stay.

My biggest interest in the draft this year is seeing what new and wonderful way the Browns can completely stuff it up! ?

Taking Josh Allen at #1 would be a sure fire stuff up. I reckon Barkley at #1 and Chubb at #4 is their way forward. Tyrod Taylor is good in the mean time and they can take a QB like Luke Falk at 33 or 35 to learn in the next season or two.

[Clintosaurus 7,936]

More importantly, I hope everyone is watching 'Draft Day' before Friday. I have it sitting on the TV unit so I give it a view on Wednesday or Thursday night.

Yeah. "May." I was more "hoping" he'd get traded as I wanted that first rounder. But wasn't interested in a late second rounder, as Jimmy G got better than that. Always felt pre season or early 2018 was most likely, but certainly didn't see a minor contract extension coming, not in today's day and age of fast and furious trades. It was an extension they didn't need to do, so I'm pretty pleased they tried to help him out.
