Kalil question for Draftknicks.

[Extremebillsfan247]

We all know how the media guys view him. But, it appears that Minnesota is set on passing on him. The latest news I've heard about him is that he had a scheduled workout with Cleveland. If they pass on him, how far can he fall realistically? and if he is there at 10, knowing all 9 teams before the Bills passed on him, does it make you apprehensive enough from the Bills perspective to look elsewhere for a prospect, or do you still draft him regardless? Just wondering.

Re: Kalil question for Draftknicks.

with so many teams wanting to trade back in this draft.. Someone will jump up for Kalil

If he is there at #10 and the Bills don't take him then babies will be punched

He doesn't get past Tampa.

Tampa doesn't really need Kalil, they have a good LT in Donald Penn, but I'm sure they would be happy to trade that draft pick to a team that needs Kalil.

What about the Rams? a possible fit there, or no?

I dont see Cleveland drafting him at all.
Its hard to draft a top 5 guy at OT and stick him at RT..
They already invested in Joe Thomas in the top 5 and he is there LT.
Cleveland is going Richardson IMO....

In a trade then.
I dont see Tampa drafting Kalil.
Best player Yes but not a need at all.
Its Claiborne or Richardson in this pick.

Re: Kalil question for Draftknicks.

I don't believe it. I think Minny is trying to trade the 3rd pick but if they can't they will take Kalil.

Yeah, I'm sure the Rams would love Kalil, but I think the Bucs would rather trade down a little further if possible to get more picks.

Well, you are there so I defer to your insight. Still, LT seems to be the 2nd-most sought after position after QB. The TB war room will likely have a big decision on their hands. I do think they go for Kalil if he's there. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Kalil question for Draftknicks.

I think Minny is floating out that they want to trade back hoping the Browns want Tannehill. If the Browns want Tannehill (please God, no) they may be tempted to swap picks with Minny to keep Miami from doing so. Why not take a free pick if you can still get your player?

I don't think the Browns are actually hoping to get Tannehill. I do want Miami to think so, however... I'd like for the Browns to be able to sell Kalil to the Rams.. or even back to MIN depending on what MIA gave to MIN.

Heard Tampa LOVES Trent Richardson.

Re: Kalil question for Draftknicks.

Like some others on the board said, I think Minnesota is just putting up a smokescreen. They are looking for offers to trade down. That way they can get a few extra picks, but still nab Matt Kalil, Justin Blackmon, Morris Claiborne or even Michael Floyd.

In the small chance that it IS true, Tampa would probably seriously consider taking him - or at least field some trade offers.

St. Louis desperately needs an offensive tackle and a wide receiver. Right now, they are banking on taking Blackmon. But if both were there, I'm not sure what they would do.

Who doesn't love Richardson? But if Clayborne is there when Tampa picks, he will be the Bucs pick, not Richardson.

Just curious - have you detected any drumbeats for Claiborne among the CLE faithful?
