Looks to me like there will be a QB scramble and I easily see 4 QB's going early. CIncy and Fins in nice spots for a trade back. Carolina, the no names will vie for the 3,4,5 spots

Wow these Watson to Philly rumors have really just taken new life in the last couple days lol

It will be interesting to see what happens. To me, Miami, Atlanta and Cincy, based on the moves they have made, are in win now mode. Miami brought in Fuller, Atlanta extended Ryan and Cincy has splashed around pretty good. So while them trading back makes sense, there is also a pretty big drop in talent from the top five of the draft. So if you think you are close, you want to grab a legit potential star.

Miami and Cincy both need help on the offense, so I think they don't trade back, since the high-end talent in the draft is on the offense. Atlanta trading back makes sense, especially with Carolina. But it wouldn't surprise me to see two qbs available at 6. 

I can see Carolina moving up to 2 or 3 to grab a QB. Question is does either SF or Washington want to move up for a QB also? Atlanta may opt for extra draft choices next year for a QB and grab talent this year to help Matt ryan. Washington may want someone to groom so may try and move up also. I can see how a QB could be taken in either or all of the top 4 spots.... Maybe Shefter was right and 4 QBs go before us. Then we take whomever we want at 6 or try and move back to 8 or 9 should the opportunity arise.

      I will cease to be an Eagle fan as long as Watson is in an Eagle Uniform. That dude has issues, not to mention 3 Sexual assault charges pending. Hurts is a much better choice for this year. If he does not pan out we have ammo to grab a QB from next year's crop.

    IDK Cincy could move back still take the #2 OT in Slater and I think the Fins would be foolish NOT to take Sewell while they have the chance, so for me the choice for Cincy is Chase or Slater. Either guy helps. ATL is the ? for me. yeah they re-signed Ryan. I think that bought them some time. A guy like Pitts for them would make sense,and that why I really want Carolina to move to 4. Fitz is a stop gap in DC, theyneed their QB this year or next. IDK what draft ammo they have,but a move up could make sense. They could probably get mac Jones where they are without a move,but IDK how the feel about him

    Think the Pats could be in play for a QB also. They don't have the ammo to move into the top spots,but they could make a play for Jones

    In my view,if I was Carolina,my QB choice would be Fields,seems to me he would fit well with Caff. That would require a substantial move up to 2,3 Thats a tough pill to swallow,but I don't think they can wait any longer

    I think Mac Jones goes in the top 10. He had a very solid senior bowl week and he has some fans. I could see Carolina drafting him, and if not them then Denver.

    Carolina is somewhat of a mystery to me. They let some guys walk I think they should have kept, and have brought in a few DEs when they drafted guys in the first and second rounds the last two years who have played well. Their oline moves have all the signs of "shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic," and I don't think they should be throwing a ton of draft capital at QB when you let Samuel walk out the door.

    If I was their GM, I would look at it as a two year plan. If Jones falls to 8, take him and let him sit behind Bridgewater for a year. Draft some oline help and see how things go with the younger players. But I think their owner is calling shots, since their moves don't make sense. So they are something of a wildcard. I would love for the draft to unfold like I think, with Miami, Atlanta and Cincy drafting non qbs, and the Panthers losing their minds to trade up with us.

    Ian Rapoport on Twitter: "Source: Rather than releasing him, the #Bengals traded QB Ryan Finley to the #Texans." / Twitter

    So the Texans have brought in two qbs. My guess is Watson is out the door. Jets seem the obvious landing spot. But we could be in play. I am not worried about these allegations against him, as they aren't criminal and it's really hard to get money from someone for asking for sex from a massage therapist, as everyone just assumes that's what they are there for anyway.

    Juju for only 8m that is a steal for the Steelers

    They were picking on Siri this morning on the radio. Every other word supposedly was "Like" out of his mouth. I wonder how they talked in public when they first started out. Sure he sounds like a novice. Guess what? He is! We have no idea how he will coach, so lets let this play out before critiquing him with every little thing.

      Reminds me of people I deal with on an every day business. One woman always says "You know what I mean"..... LOL No I have no clue! My sister always says "Oh My God".... Drives me crazy after talking to her for more than 3 minutes.....

    Anyone else have something to add?

    I could care less how he communicates in his interviews. If he knows how to run a football team……that's good enough for me. I just hope he doesn't find the record that has the needle stuck……the one Andy and Doug used LOL. "Oh My God" "You know what I mean"? LMAO

    JuJu Smith-Schuster also turned down more money on a multi-year deal from the Eagles than he took to return to the Steelers, per source. The Eagles’ were a secret suitor. But Smith-Schuster loved Pittsburgh and its fans too much to leave.
     
    Just to add he also turned down the Ravens and KC so wasn’t just us. Apparently all three teams offered more then the Steelers

    Cleveland has become a more attractive place for FAs than Philadelphia.  Let that sink in.

    Considering we likely haven’t even tried to sign anyone not sure I’d agree on this. Just an overreaction 

    If they are more attractive it isn’t the city or team it’s the fact they can pay more then us so it’s strictly money

    Well we have no team,so I can't blame him for avoiding us

    We were always stuck on "we need to do better" It was so bad, they just put it on a loop and played the same tape from week 3 all season

    Gut feeling is word is getting around more about how much of a dumpster fire this organization has become ... we've been on a clear downward trend in the 3 years following the Super Bowl win.  And the reports of Howie and Lurie meddling so much ... who in their right minds would want to come here?

    I mean, let's hold off on the "no one wants to come here" talk.

    Adam Schefter on Twitter: "In this case, JuJu Smith-Schuster’s agent called the Eagles to gauge their interest; those were the discussions. The Eagles did not wind up courting him. JuJu back to Pittsburgh, which was what he wanted." / Twitter

    Considering the fact JuJu turned down more money from Baltimore and KC. Clearly shows he wanted to be in Pittsburgh

    Nah,they want to play with potential winners. Money isn't buying that. For a few 100k I wouldn't pull up stakes or disrupt my family either. More to things than money when you make millions a year anyway

    Noone wants to come here, thats why we need a competent draft person. I held off for 35 seconds. I am proud I lasted that long
