  • Man... I keep having this vision of Baker and Saquon - jogging up to the line of scrimmage in slow motion, a light fog and smell of rain in the distance... the camera pans toward the sideline... Josh Gordon nods and turns to look upfield... and then Njoku creeps a smile through the side of his mouth as the mist descends... what could have been?

    There, I fixed a few of your typos.

    Yup... widely reported yesterday... had he fallen to the Pick 7 area, then the Pats would have tried to move up for him.

    Can "agents" be believed?

    True enough but trading up to the second spot would be a pretty costly transaction. Also, as in most NFL discussion, I smell smoke. Trying to decide what the benefit would be for Bill to make the rest of the league think he wanted Baker.

  • can you imagine how bad the Browns would have been blasted by the media if they had selected a running back with the #1 overall pick given their desperate need for a QB?  The Browns had to use the #1 on a QB, no way around it.  For once, they got the top QB in the draft instead of trading down and waiting to see who fell to #22.

    Another mergible thread under the Mayfield one...

    I think Highsmith is reflecting his own evolution... I doubt he's reflecting Dorsey's, if Dorsey had one.

    Agree... 2nd seems very stretchy.

    yes I know how the draft slot works player at #1 get's this much money and so on and so forth down the line But could be Bakers agent is already greasing the wheels for the money in the language part of the contract anyone here think Baker may hold out

    Not sure if the same graphic will pop up as it was on my Google feed but that particular photo showed a smiling Bill Belichick...

    Conspiracy? I report, you decide.

    There are reports of Josh mcdaniels also possibly mentioning that they could move up. Guess the Pats wanted to work him out and he said no, he didnt think he would last to 23. All of this is really a he said she said. The only factor here is that people will say we are vindicated for taking him, because the Pats possibly wanted him at 2.

    Doubtful... just serves no purpose as there will be so much onfield info generated over the next four seasons that anything said now will be overwhelmed if not long forgotten.

    so you are saying that it is doubtful he signs before camp ?

    No... there's nothing worth holding out for as we will give him 100% offset language.

    My comment is aimed at his first negotiated contract that's 4 years away to which I thought you were pointing.

    I'll take a wild guess that "VikingDawg" means he's a kid whose high school nickname is the Vikings... North Canton Hoover Vikings, for example. 

    No....he already admitted that Viking refers to the Minnesota Vikings.   I think he had some friend that died who was a Viking fan.  While it is supposed to be some kind of tribute to him (which is fine).....it still makes one question his loyalties.

    I thought that was Orion? Didn't he have a Vikings logo as his pic during the season out of tribute for his best friend who passed?

    I don't know...maybe.  It was someone.  this guy seemed the logical guy.

    Yep.I see now they pulled the report down. First post covers most of it but what's missing is on Rosen. Seems Highsmith on road trip west ran into UCLA volleyball or soccer team. asked the Head coach of team "tell me your thoughts on Josh Rosen." Head Coach made no comments on Rosen but referred Highsmith to Josh's wife/girlfriend that was a player on his team..Not sure Highsmith was wanting her actual input more like his. Report never said if Highsmith talked to her..I'll try to find another report on same story

    Yup, that's what I heard on 92.3 the Fan today.  - Really, Highsmith shouldn't have related that encounter to anyone other than his Browns brass comprads.  MHO

    Virtually everything he's said about the draft he should have kept to himself.
