Did this before people seemed to like it, may just do another update tomorrow as I hear more things. One advantage to announcing this is the last draft you're covering people are willing to tell you more. I like it, but on to the rumors:
-Chiefs will take Luke Joeckel at #1 unless they can't trade Branden Albert then they will take Eric Fisher-LaCanfora
-Dion Jordan was the assumed pick at #4 for the Eagles but last minute word is it may be Kiki Mingo instead-LaCanfora
-Three OT's will go in the first three picks-Multiple
-Geno Smith will not be the first QB off the board-Multiple
-Fluker to the Cardinals at 7-SBNation
-Falcons are calling every team in Top 15 to see what the price is to get up and get a CB or pass rusher-Multiple
-Hopkins to St. Louis in Mid Round 1 is what everybody is assumin-Pauline
-Austin to the Jets at 9, that one is about as set in stone as you can get if he makes it there-Pauline
-Tank Carradine (DE-FSU) would be a Top 5 pick if healthy (maybe #1 overall) but even with his shredded knee he's still going Round 1-Pauline
-Cowboys are high on UNC DT Sylvester Williams-Pauline
-Dee Milliner is off a few teams draft boards for medical, he's had 5 surgeries so far-Pauline
-Kent State OT/OG Brian Winters is getting some late 1st love but it may be all smoke-LaCanfora
-Pats are hot and heavy for Marcus Lattimore on Day 3-Bernstein
-Tyler Eifert didn't take a single pre-draft visit but he still will probably go Top 15-Multiple
Musings:
-If the Bills take Nassib 8 (and every indication is that they will) he and Marrone will have only 1-2 years to show positive growth, Spiller isn't getting younger and RB lives are shortening. If Bills struggle in 2013 and are in a position to take a QB like Bridgewater at the top of 2014 they may do it. Marrone putting all his eggs into the SU basket is a massive risk.
-We released our final Top 100 yesterday, its a bit different then anybody elses because we didn't update it since before all the all-star, combine, and pro day workouts. The Top 100 is based purely off what we saw. It's been entered into the THR Top 100 Contest which measures accuracy, we expect to finish near the bottom because our board is based off projection and not predicting who goes where. For those interested here is the link: http://www.buffalobillsdraft.com/201...final-top-100/
-In "covering" the last decade or so of drafts this is by far the most in depth and unpredictable draft I've ever seen
-I'm expecting a ton of trades on Thursday and plenty more on Friday and Saturday
-The UDFA market is going to be intense, that's where the majority of the value lies because of how deep with talent this class is. You could find 3-4 roster spot players there easily
-If Dion Jordan falls to 8 he's the Bills pick, QB be damned
That's all I got for now, Ill update through tomorrow as I hear more.
