if anyone wants to hear excellent draft info live listen to bryan broaddus on the cowboys website.....get over the fact that its on their site and just enjoy his draft coverage...he is friends with the guys running half the leagues teams. he is a close personal friend of sean payton, andy reid....the hawks/chiefs gm....etc. https://www.dallascowboys.com/video/live-the-draft-show-2024

broaddus is claiming robert kraft made Elliot Wolf draft may but wolf wanted to trade out and accumulate picks.

Bryan Broaddus is killing drake may right now saying he is inaccurate and not worthy of being picked here.

I am fairly certain the league makes these teams at the top take all the time. Remember the draft is on a thursday night in primetime...this is a show the nfl is producing. the days of the draft just being a league event are long gone...The league is showcasing these young players tonight to generate interest and sell merchandise.

do we have a main draft thread?

AJ Brown 3 year extension

Sounds like BJT is not going to be the guy.

this would lineup with what Bryan Broaddus just said he is hearing from front offices around the league...BJT is the slider because of shoulder, hip and off the field issues.

and now broaddus and the cowboys guys are saying Thomas has a hip issue also and they expect him to slide....Broaddus said he thinks Coleman goes before BJT because of the various issues.

so apparently ed werder is with denver and he said they have 26 first round grades this year.

Bryan Broaddus is mentioning that the vikings are of course trying to move up and that SF and GB are trying to move up. SF wants a Lineman and GB wants a corner. They are mentioning JC Latham to the chargers also.

Bryan Broaddus here in Dallas said his sources told him Philly is trying to go up for a corner and Dallas is preparing to move back and may have something setup with washington and dan quinn already if it plays out where there o lineman are gone. he also said the rams are trying to get inside the top ten for Brock Bowers. they also just added Ayuk could be part of a deal to get above Dallas because they are after the same lineman...fwiw also sounds like Jimmy Johnson is going to be in the war room with the cowboys this weekend....and they are signing Zeke back.

He looks the part for sure. If they do draft him I am going to be yelling "Pax Romana" in every thread since he is named after the roman empire and that Pax Romana was the 200 years of peace in the empire......he will bring peace to the wr room and the locker room...no more cryptic nonsense! so Pax Romana for Odunze

I am fully down with trading back with washington if they have not moved up by 28. I bet they only give 40 and 78 though and buffalo would give 28 and 144 this allows them to take two wr, an O an D lineman, Corner, Running back and a kicker by the end of the weekend. if they blow out the whole draft for 1 wr I will see it as a major bummer. If they use next years 1 I will be sick. That is insanity for a wr. amen to that.

Joe Buscaglia's final 7 round mock https://theathletic.com/5443330/2024/04/25/bills-mock-draft-2024-adonai-mitchell/?source=emp_shared_article

there are lots of baseball players like this. this year marvin harrisons kid and jerry rices kid get a shot. I think next year emmitt smith's son will be in the draft after his senior year at A&M

Collins can not play left tackle in any situation in 2024 on this team. He is at best the swing tackle on gameday and a possible replacement at left guard during the season if edwards is struggling. I am not convinced collins makes the final roster out of camp.

one thing is for sure, tomorrow at this time there are going to be some aggressive teams doing really aggressively aggressive stuff. And when they are done backwards hat guy on youtube is going to hate everything they did. and no matter what somehow everything will work out for the chiefs and they will be even better by the end of the weekend.

that whole athletic mock draft was kind of unrealistic. If they do anything like this for a WR he had better be among the leagues top wr in year one.

that response doesn't really make much sense. Dan Fouts, Dan Marino and Warren Moon have no championships and they got in.

there are a whole bunch of guys in the hall of fame who can say the exact same thing. probably best to admit the guy is pretty great.

This is probably how it always is. I imagine there are very rare times there are 32 first round players. I am sure a bunch of players most teams dont see as 1st rounders will go in the first pushing some of their own 1st round guys back. also the fifth year option is huge.

Im watching the cowboys draft show while I work...because of Bryan Broaddus and his contacts around the league. He thinks Buffalo will be aggressive....saying beane might get fired soon....that is nonsense....but anyway he mentioned again that KC is going to be aggressive and that Jacksonville is looking to take a corner. so that tells me Jax is not going to be interested in moving back and that Buffalo may be looking at a situation where KC jumps ahead of them for a WR or maybe an Offensive lineman.
