DRAFT NEWS
Next I spoke with Julio our Bengals GM and asked him this. You have just put Ferrell on the block leaving with very little QB wise. You also have 1.10 is it your intention to get a QB with 1.10 whether that includes moving up if a stud is there or perhaps sitting tight at 1.10 and getting a QB that is not elite? I really like Gamboa actually. I think he is a good fit for our Erhardt Perkins scheme, and I think that he is likely going to be one of the safest QB's in the league when he fully develops. He can also take a game over with his legs and doesn't cost much, which are also concerns for us. If the draft falls right, yeah we might still try and draft a guy.. But that really depends because we have a lot of needs we could address with that pick. A lot depends on what the draft class looks like, because if there is a true star QB within my reach that really hits all the boxes, yeah, we're gonna try to go get him.

TRADE AND DRAFT NEWS Next it was time to to Ezlee our Steelers GM and I asked him this You just moved stud HB Bradley to the Colts for 2 1st, do you feel you did very well out of this trade. It also looks like with this move you are moving to a much more pass lead attack, is that a fair assumption. You now have some draft power with 3 1st and 2 seconds you can use this year, i have no doubt you'll be looking to significantly move up from 1.28 to get a stud WR, is that also a fair assumption? here is what he told me. "Hi Adam! I was hesitant to move him to be honest as he’s such a talent back who can truly do it all. The challenge for us was getting him the touches that he deserves and what better franchise could he be a better fit than the Colts? As for the cost…I always base my deals on whether or not I would make the same deal myself. In regards to Reynolds, I have and I did many times over the years.
As for moving up...that is always on the table and we have plenty of firepower to pretty much move anywhere we want/need to. My plan is to let the draft work for us, not against us

TRADE NEWS I asked Mickey our Jagaurs GM who holds 1.4 if there was a stud QB in the Draft Class if he would consider moving up to get him?
This is how he replied. We think we have a good QB on the roster. Trading down is an option. I have talked to a few teams.

DRAFT PREVIEW It looks like we have 1 stud QB, maybe 2 and 5 stud WRs, RB's look good but not great.

DRAFT NEWS My source in LA has just told me the following about the Chargers pick at 1.1 With three hall of fame type receivers in this class the Chargers have told teams that they have until Tuesday morning to knock their socks off with an offer or they are staying put to draft their receiver of choice. Rumors are also swirling that Chargers might offer next years 1st rd pick along with other assets to acquire another top 10 pick to grab a second receiver.

DRAFT NEWS Next i spoke to show favourite Chrusti our Bills GM and asked him about 1.3 and if there were any updates Here's what he told me I don't want to share specifics on the "who", but we've already fielded a few offers. It'll definitely be multiple 1sts based on the offers coming in. That being said, the idea of having 3 stud WR's is something I could enjoy. I may just stick and pick. Adam says watch the Steelers come in here!

TRADE NEWS Late last night the Bills traded 1.3 to the Steelers for 1.14, 2.11, the Patriots 1st next year and 7th year LB Tim Spammer 83/83. Adam says. We told you 2-3 times the Steelers would move up to snag a WR if there was one there and thats exactly what they've done. There will be controversy around this deal as no one wants the Steelers to have yet another stud WR, hopefully for the Steelers following in the footsteps of some of the greats such as Dunn and Benzer. But the deal is fair in our view and if anything the Steelers over paid. 1.13 was on the block for everyone, the Steelers just had the will and juice to get it done. One fo Barnes, Duncan or Spurgeon are very likely to be a Steeler soon. It would be a very interesting story if they took Lucas as Lucas has stated he'd refuse to play for them!
For the Bills, they have 2 stud WRs and clearly a QB they are happy with, this gives them 3 high picks and a stud to feel the other gaps they have so I see it as a good move for them too.

WIDE RECIEVER BREAKDOWN We asked Joel, the GM who drafted and tuned Gustavo Fleming perhaps the greatest WR of all time what he thought of the Receivers in this years class, here's what he told us! First off, I will state that I have no idea who will be the best out of the first 3, and whoever people take there, they can't get it wrong. However, having to choose, this would be my order: 1.Duncan - Has all the bars, endurance, literally no flaws. There might be a question of RR not getting over 90, but I personally would rather have that in my #1 choice WR
2. Spurgeon - Those red combines man. Only reason he is possibly behind Duncan is endurance. I want a guy that's guaranteed 100% on every play. Spurgeon on a very pass heavy scheme might get tired.
3. Barnes - That low dev % at that grade, with all the bars. He is going to be legit, and every bit a player as the two above. Any other year he is the first WR gone. Plus he gets you an extra 1000 yards a year in returns.
4. Anderson - Another 70 plus WR, with massive upside. Again, his only flaw may be the same as Spurgeon's but lets be honest, it's not a real issue. This guy will also be unplayable.
5. Julian - Avoid drops is an issue as its a 0 bar, and the BPR is not as high as the others. But with his RR and GD, along with other bars, this is another 70 WR.
Honestly, if these 5 don't all go in the top 6 picks, then the talent identification, and judgement of RZB players would be questionable imo.
