All things off season 2015.

Here's the latest rumor on a trade for Mariota:

"Mark Eckel of NJ.com passed along a rumor that a three-way trade could be in the works between the Eagles, Browns, and Titans, which would allow the Eagles to move up to the No. 2 overall pick to attain Oregon QB Marcus Mariota.

Eckel notes that rumor is swirling within NFL personnel meetings that the initial trade would send the Browns’ No. 19 overall pick to the Eagles in exchange for QB Sam Bradford. The Eagles would then send DT Fletcher Cox, LB Mychal Kendricks, and the No. 19 and No. 20 draft picks to the Titans for the No. 2 slot in the draft."

Wow. How did bugs bunny say it? "What a maroon!"

IMO if Cleveland do that there an idiot. You no the shegles want Mariota and you easily give them ammo to get him for nothing in return.

I read somewhere that an anonymous GM said that there are only 19 legitimate 1st Rounders in this draft. That causes me to think that there may be numerous teams looking to trade up into the middle of the 1st Round for a specific player. I'm thinking there may be more trades than usual in this draft and perhaps better returns than usual for teams that trade down.

I wonder who that GM thinks those 19 players are. I'd bet that we could probably name most of them. Off the top of my head: 2 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 3 OT, 1 C, 1 TE, 1 DT, 4 Edge Rushers, 2 CB = 19. I feel like there ought to be more than 19 legitimate 1st Rounders but I'm no draft expert.

1st, clearly very few teams see the draft the same. This anon GM may/may not have a minority opinion as it regards the number of "1st round" prospects.

2nd, at the end of the day the draft remains a crap shoot the true answer is to have more rolls of the dice not less. Therefore trading up for a specific player is usually an ineffective proposition in the long term team building perspective. I don't think having fewer perceived 1st round prospects will spurn more teams to chase perceived value. Player 20-32 don't suddenly become inferior prospects because of perception of grades.

3rd, if there are so few ' true' 1st round prospects then why would those 19 teams want to trade down?

Its an interesting theory that more trades will happen then usual but I disagree and I also disagree with the anon GM's notion of there only being "19 " 1st round prospects.

Seems like Gruden has a lot of confidence in Moses. Having Callahan as our new O-Line coach will hopefully help these guys reach their potential.
Recovery going well for Morgan Moses (http://was.247sports.com/Bolt/Recovery-going-well-for-Morgan-Moses--36960489)

For multiple reasons, but if the Browns do that dumb shit then they are even stupider than I thought

I'm hoping Moses recovers from that lis franc? injury. Although many media/ fans like to bag on the dude like he's a bum I thought he played well when he was in the game. If you like advanced metrics like PFF there grading supports that view point as well.
