Around SBN: Is Adebayor About To Become A Full-Time Spur?

A Handful of Smoke

Lies and the lying GMs who tell them. Some of the more powerful fiction to emerge in the last 24 hours of NFL liar's poker:

  • The Redskins are talking to the Raiders and may ring up the Bills in their desire to land a veteran CB. One rumor has the Dan Snyders sending the 9th pick to Oakland for CB Philip Buchanon and the Raiders second rounder. A league source says the Bills CB Nate Clemons, a favorite of Redskins DC Gregg Williams during his time at Buffalo, may be another Redskins target.

  • Minnesota is apparently exploring moving up into the top two to acquire Braylon Edwards

  • The Bucs are exploring moving up to get QB Alex Smith

  • The Dolphins were the Bucs primary trade target, but with San Francisco suddenly professing love for Smith, you have to know they're trying to tease the Bucs into talking with them.

  • The Jacksonville Jaguars are watching the running backs with interest. It is their hope one of the Cedric Benson, Cadillac Williams, Ronnie Brown trio drops. Fred Taylor's age is becoming a concern.

  • If Jacksonville is serious about a back, they would likely have to leapfrog the Texans. Houston is quietly hoping that one of the backs slips to them at 13.
  • Star-divide

    hope the redsklins blow it like they already have in free agency

    I BELIEVE THEIR ARE MORE SMOKE SCREENS THEN THERE ARE ANYTHING ELSE WHEN YOU GET THIS CLOSE TO THE DRAFT BUT ALL THE GM’S ARE DOING IS TRYING TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF THEIR PICK. I THINK THERE WILL BE SOME SURPRISES BUT YOU HAVE A GOOD IDEA ON WHO IS GOING TO DO WHAT. I THINK DALLAS WILL TRADE THEIR 11TH PICK BECAUSE ONE OF THE THREE RUNNING BACKS WILL BE THEIR AT 11 AND SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A MID TO LATE 1ST A 2ND AND A 3RD IF THIS HAPPENS. I WOULD NOT BE THE LEAST BIT SURPRISED IF DALLAS DOESNT TRADE THEIR 20TH PICK TO THE RAVENS FOR 22ND PICK AND NEXT YEARS PICK IF CLAYTON IS STILL AROUND.

    what do you guys think of getting brodney poole with the 20th if we stay there???

    by mike on Apr 19, 2005 9:20 PM CDT reply actions  

    That depends in who’s on the table in that moment, something like there’s Pollack or Ware and you haven’t adressed the OLB with the 11th, do you let them go?

    i think that all depends on what we are gonna play… i think a solid safety is very high priority, even more so then an olb, unless 3-4 is the way we are gonna go. if everything went right i would like to see. 11th mike williams if hes gone then merriman , or spears. then at 20th brodney poole or troy williamson. thats what im hoping for..

    raiders have traded buchannon to the texans for the texans 2,3 pick…kinda makes you wonder if the texans might be another willing partner to trade down with if it means a possible future………let’s see the coments on that.

    I hope we land Spears or Ware at #11 then at #20 trade down for another 2nd and get our third back. I would like to see us get Pool or Considine to play Safety.

    Jerry W,

    I think this strengthens the speculation that the Texans have fingers crossed and hope Cedric Benson falls to 13. As for being a trade down partner, with what army? They’ve sent all their surplus picks to Oakland.

    i hear the redskins picked up the broncos 25th pick for there 3rd this yr and 1st and forth next they will be contenders in this draft now. trading up and down. alot gave up for one pick.

    by chris on Apr 20, 2005 12:34 AM CDT reply actions  

    Here are the only real trades going down.

    Washington is trading into the third spot and giving the Browns two #1 picks.. Washington is getting Braylon Edwards @ #3.

    Dallas will trade with Green Bay and get there #24 and #54. Grenn Bay will land a big Safety at #11.

    Minnisota will stay put and have a good draft, they may trade out of their 2nd #1 pick and collect a 2nd this year and a first next.

    by Chadd on Apr 20, 2005 10:36 AM CDT reply actions  

    I’m not feeling the GB trade scenario with #11. Sure we get picks but we miss out on the on the player we could use the most, SPEARS. I don’t see washington making this trade they have too many holes. if the right player is falling then i see them trading #9 to recoup the picks they gave up to denver. this way they could still get a quality corner, jason campbell and a receiver in the second. that being said. i hope no one trades them with someone else gets campbell. Minnesota is sitting pretty with the free agents that they have signed and the plethora of backs they have to use in a trade they could be the power brokers in the draft. i’m going to let my imagination run for a second. the redskins trade 9 Patrick Ramsey and there second to miami for the number two pick. Miami would have competition for Feeley and still be able to get the best player on the board at 9 or start a bidding war for one of the corners and still get a back in the second. the redskins would get edwards and campbell that gets them offense but does nothing for there defense, what do you guys think.
