I understand that. But its not like Mort is going to run to the hills with everything he gets the way a beat writer will. He doesnt need the hits and views and to be "first". He is established and credible. There is definitely more to something he reports than others.SportsAndLady;1612851 wrote:If you want to get a smoke screen out there, would you leak the info to mort or Mary Kay tabot or whatever her name is lol
May still be a smokescreen, but its probably coming to a very good source who wouldnt lie to him.

Have to wonder how much contact teams have with players, or should I say, their agents at this point.
No one wants to tip their hand, and to be honest the agents probably are telling teams a bunch of lines to make their client seem more wanted.
. Anyways, yeah, that makes sense

Show me one person that said he doesn't want a QB from this draft. Thanks.Footwedge;1612834 wrote:You sold me. We need to draft a fuckin right tackle instead of a franchise quarterback. The reason we've been so bad for 15 years is because we've never addressed the right tackle problem. Robinson or Matthews will get us to the Bowl...for sure.
And btw, since my buddy wont fork over his 500 clams, I'll make a wager with you. JMFF late first round? Do you like to gamble? I'll book your action too.

I think mort would run with anything. He's about 5th on the list of people they are putting on tv right now around the Draft. Plus it's espn, they say anything they want. Regardless of whether it is true or not.

Yep. There's honestly no benefit of leaking what you are thinking of doing to the media. I mean it makes zero sense.Midstate01;1612869 wrote:I think mort would run with anything.

Especially from the Browns who literally hired people to make sure NOTHING leaked that they didn't want leaked.

I really think it's down to Mack/Robinson/Mathews. No way they take a qb at 4

The JFF rumors aren't new. Farmer really likes him. The media is always behind on these things.

Anyone see Peter King's latest mock?
Has the Browns trading with Atlanta and taking Evans from A&M and then taking Bortles at 26.

Heard it on M&M. Not sure what the trade would be and can't remember who he had the Falcons taking.
Maybe Clowney? He had Mack number 1

I'd take Evans and Bortles with the #6 & #26.wildcats20;1612922 wrote:Anyone see Peter King's latest mock?

....but, I just can't see Clowney not going #1, so Atlanta is not trading with us.

Ive seen Atlanta paired with a Defense and OLine.
I wonder if they would trade for Mack, Clowney or Robinson if any of the 3 are there.

Clowney or Robinson no question if they don't go 1/2 ATL is going to try and trade up to get one of them. Mack I don't think they would trade up to get because he could just fall to them.Laley23;1612955 wrote:Ive seen Atlanta paired with a Defense and OLine.

I wouldn't wager with him anyways, he's proven his incompetence in mathematics.

Is the draft permanantly moved to this later date or just for this year?
This extra time really sucks.
