2016 NFL Draft (April 28-April 30, 2016)

Some excerpts from the article:
The Browns have become increasingly motivated to deal the second-overall pick.

“They want to move out of that spot and everyone knows it,” is how one exec put it.

The Browns want Jared Goff, and, I have yet to talk to an executive who does not believe that is who the Rams are taking.

Browns coaches, for their part, believe the gulf between Goff and Wentz is fairly wide, and thus taking Wentz at No. 2 is a tough sell. And while Joey Bosa and DeForrest Buckner would be under consideration for the selection, the opportunity to drop down, land more picks, and not have to pass on a passer appeals to the Browns as well. And for an alleged forward-thinking, analytics-driven front office that prizes the cheap commodity that draft picks are, trading down would make plenty of sense and would take them off the hook of picking at 2 and would give them something they could sell to the fans if their quarterback is indeed going to be gone.

(As several execs pointed out to me, the true forward-thinking moves the Browns should have already made is dealing left tackle Joe Thomas by now, which would have given them more ammo to move up to the first pick to get the QB they wanted....)

Rumblings out of Dallas are suggesting the Cowboys like Zeke at #4. I'd love to keep saying "feed the beast", but who the hell knows what Jerry is going to do?

On a side note, these default words (feed and shit, for example) have become the joke you've heard a thousand times.

How cool would it have been if this was a few years ago when the spring game and the draft were on the same day? A bunch of recruits in the Shoe on a beautiful day watching the spring game, and 5-6 Buckeyes getting drafted in the first round on the big screen.

The downside is when NFL teams I hate draft Buckeyes. Getting really tired of the Steelers doing it, and I really don't want to see Zeke wearing an Eagles helmet. :argh:

Only problem with that is the fans wouldn't be watching the first round (at least, not live)--rounds 4 through 7 are the ones held on Saturday.
