2012 NFL Draft Thread.

Vontaze is a idiot...Goodness

The Jets aren't expected to make a play for Alabama RB Trent Richardson unless he "unexpectedly starts to slide."
"It's ridiculous," one team official said of the current price to move up into the top four. With Richardson not expected to slide any further than No. 6 to the Rams, the Jets won't get the opportunity to make a move for the draft's top back.

Sorry BC, go ahead and hang your head and cry.

Because I'm going to believe some unnamed source over the Jets who called Richardson letting him know of their interest, and teams usually only call prospects who actually have a possibility to be available at their pick. Everybody and my mother knows Trent isn't gonna be available at 16.

Michael Lombardi said that Bruce Irvin has been told by an NFL team that they are taking him in the first.

SMH.

No, Teams call every player to make sure their contact information is correct. NY Media is reading too much into shit. They aren't getting Richardson and won't come close to getting him.

Everything that I've read says that teams only call players that they actually have interest in drafting to verify their contact info (which is what I already said)

If the Jets weren't serious about trading up to get Trent, they wouldn't have called

And Mayock said that Chandler Jones will be the best defensive player out of this draft in 5 years, he's officially an idiot.

No, its obvious Jets like Richardson.. But they got his contact information incase they trade up.. if he slips, but he wont.. But teams call every player and ask for their up to date contact information. Not just players they like, cause obviously it would tip their hand at what they wanna do.

Are the Jets planning on trading their entire draft this year and half of it next year?

He has a point. Hard worker, great character, nice size.

Every year he calls a prediction and somebody calls him a moron, and he pretty much always ends up correct.

I remember him saying JPP would be a beast and one of the best from the Class IIRC.

He also said Jay Cutler would be the better QB out of Young and Leinart. Which everybody said he was stupid then too.

"Sure, I mean I love Trent so much to where I feel like we should trade our whole draft for the next 5 years for him" - BC.

Lets waste picks.. on a position that is clearly going down in value. You can find a good RB in the 2nd and later rounds.

All I hear is "Richardson is like AP" ... Um, I don't see the Vikings winning anything with AP, and its becoming a passing league. RBs expire at age 29/30 anyways.

Yeah, they got his contact information because they're serious about trading up, they're not going to waste their time.

I'm not sitting here booking that we're going to trade up and get him, but you'd have to be stupid to completely dismiss it at this point.

Do you even realize what it'd take to move up to #3 from 16?

Imagine multiple 1st round picks, 2nd round picks, etc. It'd make the trade from the Rams/Redskins look SILLY.

Wake up from your wet trent richardson dream. Be happy with whatever DLineman yall get.

Unless they are willing to part with a Mangold/Ferguson/Revis



Which would be retarted

RT @TheJetsStream: Jets like Richardson, but feeling is it'd be too pricy to trade up 12 spots. "Ridiculous," 1 official said ... Thank you

This Richardson stuff is so silly--a great example of the circle-jerking of a jillion of us covering the draft for far, far too long. - Peter King

The Jets generate NFL headlines better than most teams, so perhaps it should be no surprise that they have inserted themselves in the NFL draft conversation a day before the big show.

From ESPN: The Jets have contacted Trent Richardson, the No. 1 player on their board, to ask for his correct phone information in case they trade for him.

From what I understand, most NFL teams do such prep work as calling prospects ahead of time. They want to make sure that a player is ready for a phone call should they draft that player.

The Vikings are scouring the earth for all willing trade partners, but it seems highly unlikely the Jets can afford to move up 13 spots because of all they’d have to give up. The Jets have several positional needs, especially on defense. Trading away precious picks for Richardson would be shortsighted at best.

If the Vikings pull off a trade, their best bet might be to negotiate with teams a few spots behind them. No. 5 Tampa Bay and No. 6 St. Louis come to mind as teams willing to part with, say, a low-third-rounder and a late-round pick for the right to take Richardson. That way, the Vikings could still land one of their top three targets — Matt Kalil, Morris Claiborne, Justin Blackmon.

Its not happening. Once again, they just wanted his contact information incase he does slip, because anything can happen.. and they could trade up to 8/9/10 and grab him. Hes not going to the Jets.

Honestly.

Mangold/Ferguson wouldn't get them close to a done deal. Revis and a 1st round pick + like a 3rd might do it.

I have no idea what they'll do, but Tannenbaum isn't afraid to trade up to get who he wants, regardless of cost.

He also said Jay Cutler would be the better QB out of Young and Leinart. Which everybody said he was stupid then too.

Everybody was saying that JPP had the potential to do what he's doing, the likelihood wasn't very high, but it was regarded as possible.

Not hard to figure out that VY wouldn't work in the NFL. And Matt Leinart has still never gotten a real shot at being a QB for a team. He's only thrown 600 passes in the NFL and hasn't been all that bad during his time.

No

Yeah, Shonn Greene is the RB that you're going to find in the 2nd and later rounds, we already have that guy and he sucks.

The Vikings aren't winning anything with AP because they've rarely ever had a good QB with him. The one year they got real production out of the QB position, they went to the NFC Championship. Brett Favre doesn't get them that far without AP.

 

[Elite]

It's not going to take all that to move up to 3. Schefter just said on ESPN that the Vikings are delusional if they think that they're going to get anything close to what the Rams got for the 2nd pick and that if they're serious about trading they have to be realistic about the package they can get. If they're unwilling to move off their ridiculously high asking price, no team is going to trade with them.

No. JPP had a high bust rate. He flew up boards quickly and was viewed as a Workout Warrior.

& I love how you make it seem like its so obviously that Young was a horrible QB.

And do you honestly think Richardson is going to help the Jets win a championship? They will lose multiple draft picks in the deal that will help them build this team for the upcoming years. You're honestly clueless if you think this will happen. And yes, Tannenbaum does go up for his guys, he's not going to give the keys to his job away for Trent Richardson.

& Shonn Greene ? Really? 1 player? I could say the same with MJD. Fact is, RB is becoming expandable. Giants won the Super Bowl with like the worst rushing game in the NFL. Same with packers.

Vikings wanna move back to say 8 or 9 and still get "their guy" They don't wanna move back to 16 and have to pick from slim pickings.

Also, Jets are doing nothing but hurting themselves really if they really are considering trading up to draft Trent because now the Vikings know how interested they are. They aren't going to trade the 3rd pick for swap of the firsts and maybe a first next year and a 2nd this year. SORRRY. Gonna be more.
