The NFL is a funny business. If I was the following teams drafting ahead of the Patriots, I'd take Fields/Lance in a heartbeat...
3) 49ers
7) Lions
8) Panthers
9) Broncos
11) Giants
12) Eagles
If I was 1 of these teams I'd strongly consider it...
2) Jets
4) Falcons
6) Dolphins
14) Vikings
& if I was 1 of these teams drafting behind the Patriots, I'd strongly look into trading up to get them:
19) WFT
20) Bears
21) Colts
24) Steelers
28) Saints
67) Texans

This is right where I’m at, which is why I think Fields and Lance go 7 and 8 via trades.
4thed on the non spoilers
Will be joining you guys in there
I love the draft sound preceding a Goodell walk even though I hate his guts
Gonna be fun drafting this “high”
I think this will be the first year I watch the draft (well, have the TV sound on whilst I do other shit) so I suppose I would want the non-spoilers.
I'll still never forgive that inconsiderate person that broke the news of Rob Stark's death in the Red Sox game thread three hours before I could watch it.

Ok, please indulge this Vikings fan for a moment. Let’s say the OLs we like are gone by 14 but that one of the 5 QBs is still there. We’re fielding calls from teams looking to move up. Spielman would love to end up adding a second rounder if he trades down. Washington has made an ok offer. The Saints (who made a 4 for 1 pick trade with us in the mid rounds last year) have made an aggressive offer, but dropping back to #28 is pretty far. So Spielman calls NE, tells Belichick we have offers from teams looking to jump ahead of NE, and wants to know if you’re interested in flipping spots and if so, by offering what? You’re BB. What do you say/do/offer, if anything?
That seems to run counter to this tweet

A lot of reports out there that GMs are calling teams with picks in the Top 10. They're trying to gauge cost of trading up if a player they like is on the board. Important to note: What the hell else are they supposed to be doing while they wait for the friggin draft to start?
Calling your GM peers to shoot the shit generally and specifically is as basic as a farmer putting a pail under a cow before milking it. Most of these guys are GMs for short stretches. Might as well play the part while there.
The last thing a GM wants is to have his owner say, "How come we didn't trade up to 6 to get that guy?" and have to say, "Gee, I didn't actually call..." So, there are a lot of calls. Register excitement over news of this at your own discretion.

The Bears are primed to do something reckless tonight. More rumors that they are hot to move up, this time for Fields. But at 20, they seem to be sitting outside the range of the consensus first-round-grade players, so they’d have to pay a premium to jump up. But Pace & Nagy have their backs against the wall here. Will the McCaskey’s let Pace burn future resources for a QB?
Then if Pace really is locked in on Fields, be afraid. Be very afraid.
This is either a hilarious troll job by an owner (and it very well might be) or the niners aren't taking the hugely unpopular Jones:

Niners fans have been losing their minds for a month. This would certainly not be reading the room well.
ABC is usually available OTA without a cord. Failing that you might be able to pull it for free from locast.org (legally) if you don't have any other options.
They don't save anything against the cap by trading Rodgers, so short answer is they can't afford Jimmy G.
Plus they may think the situation is still salvageable or that they can get a better offer.
I don’t get it. I don’t see the Rodgers timeline aligning with that of the Niners? They were 6-10 last year...they don’t seem “one elite qb away” from being a major SB contender. Is it worth giving up the farm for 11 wins and a guy who is likely retiring in 213 years? I’d draft a young stud
NFC West is already going to be a ton of fun, but imagine if it's Rodgers-Wilson-Stafford-Murray?! It'd be the most competitive division in league history. It's already going to be up there with whoever's behind center in SF this year.
Pythag was 8-8, and they had insane injury luck.. went through 3 QBs, 5 RBs, lost the best TE in football for 8 weeks, rotating WR injuries, best defender played 2 games, bunch of other key guys with injuries... that should be a 10 win team this year with Jimmy G, with Rodgers they'd be up with the Bucs as NFC favorites
I doubt there's enough time to get a Rodgers deal done by tonight.
Which then leads to the question of, if it's possible at all, would the niners draft Fields (or Lance) over Jones because that's who the packers would want?

Niners with Rodgers would be a championship contender; Rodgers and Shanahan together would be pretty deadly. I think this might just be draft day leverage for Rodgers, clearly the Love move bothered him a lot (as it should have). I kind of think Rodgers is a bit of a crybaby who has gotten an unbelievable pass by the media over the years for continuing to come up short in the playoffs, but if I'm San Fran it is a no-brainer.
As Mina pointed out on ESPN, the Packers can't trade AR12 before June 1st without a massive cap hit. They have to wait.

Well done.
This is the best ego stroking I have ever seen. Bravo. Now like 15 of the 17 hours of draft coverage this weekend will be Rodgers-focused.
