This reminds me of when the big buzz was Ryan Leaf was going to be the #1 pick over Manning. And I'm willing to bet this is just as accurate. But I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets take him at 3

That seems to be the popular landing spot for him.

Browns seem pretty locked into Darnold or Allen at #1 while the Giants' pick seems to be anyone's guess. I personally think NYG would be foolish to not take Rosen at #2.

The hubub in NY is that the Giants like the QB they took in the 3rd round last year and don't feel these QB's are upgrade other than Darnold who most feel will be taken by Cleveland. Every Jet reporter says it's Mayfield. Which probably means they don't take him

Heh...driving up his asking price, and driving down the one for the guy they want

They're going to take a QB, and whichever they pick, will be the wrong one:L

Off topic but did you see the Jets and Giants are going to play the same time (1pm Sunday) about 5 times this year? It's rare for that to happen once a year prior to last year. Every bar owner in NYC is PISSED!

That was Kurt Russell in Tombstone. Costner did "Wyatt Earp" which was no where near as good

No. I remember. Dana Delaney was in it and she was super fine. Kevin Costner played Morgan, I think. And Dennis Quaid had that hilarious line.

Oh, no question. I've said a couple of other times in some other threads, if they take Mayfield, he will suck...if they don't, he'll be a HOF player. They're the NY Mets of New Jersey NFL teams

Bwah. Had not heard, but doesn't make a lot of business sense for the networks, either.

I guess pubs are going to have to plant their flag for one team, or the other

If that's the case, then NYG will probably take Barkley or trade out to some team willing to give them a huge ransom to move up and take a QB.

I can see the Giants trading back but not past the 6th or 7th pick and I'm not sure if there's a trading partner there. Indy has already traded back which may remove them from the equation.

I'm enjoying the browns blowing smoke up everyone's ass about what they will do at #1.

At the end of the day, none of the top QBs seem to be a lock as far as guaranteed success in the NFL goes. They could take any...or none, at #1. It's gotta be driving everyone nuts trying to figure out what they're up to.
They should be experts at this game considering they are flirting with the #1 pick seemingly every year.

Practice makes perfect.

They did well with their first round picks last year.
