If Top 8 Teams Pass on QB, Our #21 Will be Coveted· Page 2

I don't see GB being the trade partner for a team that would need/want to jump CLE, though I wouldn't be upset if Ted traded it back. Than after trading back, bundle some of the 3rd and later rounds picks (non-compensatory) for more 2nd rounders.

I would love to walk away from the draft with 4 - 2nds and a 3rd and 5th.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I'll believe it when I see it... QB needy teams bypassing a QB in Round 1.

If this happens, Round 2 becomes a spot where some nice talent falls due to all the QB activity up high in Round 2.

Teams that need QB's would be taking a huge risk not taking them in Round 1. It's much easier and justifiable to trade up in Round 2 than it is in Round 1 as the cost is much less. You don't take your guy in Round 1 and bank on him being there in Round 2 you may find yourself in a panic having to give up a bunch of picks to get what you could've had at your turn in Round 1. I don't believe most of these GM's have the stomach for any of this and will take guys in Round 1...may trade down or die trying but will take their guy in Round 1.

It is truly possible to see 5 or so guys go before the Packers pick at 21 leaving us with a Top 15 or so talent of the non QB variety. The key for all of this is to get the first one selected as early as possible. Start that run right off the bat. Could see 3 or 4 guys go just in Top 10.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I don't see DAL passing up the opportunity to draft Manziel if he falls to 16. No way. He would be a PR dream for the Cowboys, and would turn their hopes around, all the while completely filling Jerry Jones' wallet.

So, should they all pass on taking the QB in the top 8, DAL will most assuredly start the frenzy with their 16 pick. BAL, NYJ, MIA and AZ are the next picks before GB. The #21 could certainly be in play should this scenario actually happen, and word has been spreading that it might. All of HOU, JAX, CLE, MIN and TB have been rumored to be interested in taking players at other positions.

Who knows? Maybe Ted will be able to work some magic should the draft unfold that way...

beast (5h) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (5h) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (6h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (6h) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (6h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (6h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (7h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (7h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (7h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (8h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (8h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (8h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (9h) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (18h) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (18h) : @MIKEYSAINRISTIL Tyler Shough will officially be the last person drafted to the NFL born in the 1900’s

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next

TheKanataThrilla (26-Apr) : Sam Howell to Vikings...guess no Aaron

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : 1 round 7 min, with one extra minute if there is a trade. 2nd round 4 minutes, 3rd -3, 2 thereafter IMO

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Bum Phillips used to say there are two ways to get better. Get better players or get players to play better. We have a new DL coach

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Yes. Look at the losses last year. They can win.

beast (26-Apr) : Can Packers win with their current DL?

bboystyle (26-Apr) : waiting for a pass rusher.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes between picks in the 3rd

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 3rd. Hate this phone

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes in the 4

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Pickens for Jaire may be interesting. Definitely not sure we want Pickens long term.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : No.Absolutely not

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

dhazer (25-Apr) : scenario: Our main prospects are off the board when our pick comes around, do we just throw a 2nd round pick at Pittsburgh for Pickens
