Bored and playing around with draft scenarios after the Giants deal with the Bungles. This is what I think might happen:

1) Raiders- Mendoza obviously

2) Jets- Reese. Some debate in media whether him or Bailey, but one of those two will def go here.

3) Cards trade. Lots of speculation it will be with the Chiefs and they assume it's for the pass rusher. So either Reese or Bailey. Even if it were someone else moving up, it's likely for the other pass rusher too.

4) Titans- new defensive HC but they need help for their #1 pick rookie QB bad. I think they'll take Love or Tate

5) Giants- They are somewhat in same boat as Titans but for different reasons. Their best WR tore his ACL and their current best RB trashed his ankle. They also need weapons but I also think of the two top-10 picks will be defense. I think they'll pick Love or Tate here, whichever one the Titans dont pick.

6) Browns- they reportedly want to trade bad and it may be with us, but if they don't trade they almost have to pick an offensive player, likely an OL. Going to say they pick Mauigoa here.

7) Redskins could go offense or defense. Like the Titans and Giants above, they need help for their young QB. But their defense is horrendous. I think they'll take Styles here. They let Quinn fav Wagner walk with no attempt to keep him, they need a new QB on defense.

8) Saints lost Cameron Young, need more defense help but like Titans, Giants and Skins could need help on offense for young QB too. But offensive HC, so I am going with the WR Jordyn Tyson here.

9) Assuming Cards to trade with Chiefs, I think they'll take OL here. 3 was little too early. Spencer Fano is the next OT

10) Giants- had them going offense at 5 so this pick is likely to be defense. People think they'd jump all over Downs, but CB is probably a bigger need and a more premium position. I think they might surprise and take Delane here. But either way, one of the top DB's is gone.

11) Dolphins- Defensive HC and a bunch of defensive needs. CB is a major need but I had Delane going to Giants. Fish stay local and take DE Rueben Bain, as they need DL help bad as well.

12) Dallas- Downs is available in my scenario and we will take him if he is I think. If Giants take Downs and Fins take Delane, we have Reuben Bain sitting there in our laps. We take Downs but even if a couple players are flipped, we are almost guaranteed Downs, Delane or Bain will be here and that would be a huge win for us.

The Giants picking defense at 5 (seems from media they think it would be Styles) could mess us up a little as the Skins would likely take Downs or perhaps go WR themselves. Ultimately we need as many offensive guys to go as possible. The QB, the RB, two WR and two OL. If a 3rd OL or WR goes that's even better for us, of if by some miracle the Cards pick Ty Simpson.

Have no idea what he was doing exactly, but the charges are misdemeanors and he was released on $39 bond. Still, pretty stupid to even get into this position one week before your paid NFL career is about to start.



The former Georgia wide receiver, who hopes to hear his name called in this week’s NFL draft, was arrested on Sunday on one charge of obstructing public sidewalks/streets - prowling and one charge of obstruction of a law enforcement official. Both are misdemeanors.

Per the Athens Clarke County Arrest log, Branch was booked at 1:26 a.m. on Sunday, April 19 and released on $39 bond at 3:44 a.m. ET.

Keep an eye on this for us.

FWIW, Athens police (which is about an hour from me) are getting hammered over this.

Their rep here locally gets worse by the month. The city has turned into a libtard run haven.

This is pretty damn lame. I'd like to see the body cam but if that was me, I'd be pissed and looking for a lawyer.

 

[dbair1967]

Little surprising to me that we havent seen this kid mentioned much for us. Might not be an every down player but as a nickel/dime LB or big safety and special team demon he seems like he'd be a good add for almost any team.
