hope the first one is the one that is not....

Correct!

In this, I think you may be mistaken my friend. Friendly wager involving signatures...?:whistlin:

Certainly. Call it.

Teams now in contact with Skins....doubt they trade out, but who are these teams? You gotta wonder if we are one of the suspects...makes me kind of nervous. One of the only ways I think the Bolts can disappoint me in the first, is by trading up from #6.

I am leaning towards a trade by the Bolts as a prediction...but either back from 6 if "our guy" isn't there...or my most likely scenario....a trade back up into the first.

If I was gonna call a shot in the draft this year, and had to put money down on it...it would be TT trading back into the first. Really have no idea what we are doing at #6, but I think TT really likes the talent in the first round, and at the near the top of the second, it wouldn't break the bank to get back into the first...maybe grab a OT. Maybe they do like Love. Late first is a good spot for the premiere CBs not named Okuda.

Can't hardly wait....

I’ll be absolutely dumbfounded if he is one of the top 100 prospects drafted.

not bad
not too shabby at all...
for Jake “baby hands” Fromm

9” is ok but 8 7/8” are baby hands. 35-7 is a bigger number.

You mean the 4th. 2nd is well above his draft slot.

or should I say Stidham 2.0 if that were to be the case.... first round talent that doesn't go 'til day three.

what say you trenchers?

think one of my guys falls under that category.... Prince Tega Wanogho

the do not drafts for me that fall under that category include.... Austin Jackson, Ben Bartch and Alex Taylor

[beachcomber]

3 of these 4 are highly rated on my board.

Miami would pick Love with their 2nd #1. So the Bolts get to pass on both qbs at 6. Shockwaves coming. MIami picks up an OT at 5 instead.

I have been catching up on Peter King's FMIA during this whole quarantine situation. Not sure if this has been posted yet (so apologies in advance) but I thought it was neat to see how different people are dealing with this unconventional draft. Ours included:

Tom Telesco

Living in Newport Beach, Calif. Chargers GM Tom Telesco in California. (NBC Sports)
“It is surreal to be home. I’ve never been home this much in my life. My [three] kids are upstairs in their rooms, doing their school stuff from about 8 to 2:30 every day. We don’t have a basement, so I’m at the dining room table with a Surface, an iPad, a Mac, an XOS computer, working as usual. I’m like a lot of people these days—we don’t have a land-line in our house, so we’ve got to get one put in, at least as a backup right now, in case cell service goes down on draft weekend.

“We left our building the 17th of March. We’re trying to carry on as we normally would, but it’s been adjustment. I never even heard of Zoom until we had to start using it. A lot of time has been spent on, ‘How are we going to set up and run a draft, logistically, from my house?’ The challenge of it is kind of invigorating. They say it’s a virtual draft. I don’t really get that. Nothing fake about it. It’s the real deal for us.”

• Trading. That’s what teams are still working out. One GM told me he’s likely to divide the 31 potential trade partners into four groups. Each one of those groups, with seven or eight teams in it, will be told before the draft if he/she has a trade to discuss during the draft to call the contact person, who will then tell the GM that Team X wants to talk trade. If the GM can pick up right then, he will, and he’ll engage that team. But it won’t be as smooth as having everyone in the same room. As Chargers GM Tom Telesco told me: “If there’s multiple teams involved, that’s where it gets a little tricky. That’s what we have to work through. We’re going to have some people who’d usually be at our draft-room table who will probably be connected by video-conferencing. So I can talk to them while I’m on the phone. If there’s a couple of phones going off, I may have one of my kids pick up the phone. It’s all hands on deck. Could have both of my sons with jobs—keeping track of who’s been picked, the board. It’ll be fun.”
