If any one of Deebo Samuel, AJ Brown or Terry McLaurin are actually available for trade, Gutey should have been on the phone yesterday.
I’d give a 1st round pick for any of them without hesitation.

There are screenshots floating around of Deebo Samuel’s brother commenting they’ll request a trade.
His brother confirms he was joking around and actually has no idea what’s going on.
Deebo’s situation is fluid and anything could still happen, but this was never newsworthy… pic.twitter.com/EABknuXOnI

Asked if he wants to top other WR deals, Cooper Kupp said that’s not important to him. “I’m not trying to beat anybody. I’m not trying to compare myself to anyone else. It’s more about being in a place that’s just right for both sides.”https://t.co/eGj5gKzCQI

Some comps for the top WRs:
-Garrett Wilson: Terry McLaurin
-Drake London: Mike Williams
-Chris Olave: DeVonta Smith
-Jameson Williams: Will Fuller
-Treylon Burks: AJ Brown— Matt Valdovinos (@MVScouting) April 19, 2022
Todd McShay suggested that the #Commanders may be interested with Jameson Williams at 11.
He just said it on the ESPN Live Draft Special.
Mentioned in the broadcast that all of the analysts (Riddick, Kiper, Himself) have reached out to teams to gather input for their mocks. pic.twitter.com/sIV8bYWRYa

I’ve been covering the NFL draft professionally since the 2011 class.
This is the hardest year for making a mock draft.

What???
NFL agents paying players while they are in college?
I, for one, am shocked.
Next you’re going to tell me that SEC guys have been getting paid for decades.

Kyle Hamilton. Instincts and athleticism on full display pic.twitter.com/i4WzUzrCoh
— Nick Akridge (@PFF_NickAkridge) April 19, 2022
Hamilton is the safety to the field (top of the screen). Again, you see a lot of players explode to the line of scrimmage because they think it’s a screen, but Hamilton stays patient because he recognizes the trick play and stays over top of the route causing the sack. pic.twitter.com/gAa4FpoLiD

Again, TEs or big slot type WRs. Here he follows the TE (#81) in motion and sticks with him throughout the scramble drill pic.twitter.com/PwLQwsqQ0m

I’ll finish the thread with the two picks against Florida State that everyone’s seen. I don’t care about the 40 time. He brings versatility, instincts, and range to any defense and he’s absolutely worth a 1st round pick pic.twitter.com/6o2OXVx21a

USC WR Drake London is not just a jump ball WR, & it’s time to shake that narrative. There’s a number of misconceptions surrounding London, but tape is tape, & there’s a reason he’s a RD1 projection. #Commanders

A significant shift in the #NFLDraft betting market for the No. 2 pick in the last 24 hours:
Kayvon Thibodeaux is now the favorite at DK, FanDuel, and Caesars + trending toward being the favorite at PointsBet.
Malik Willis’ odds have dipped to between 8/1 to 10/1.#OnePride
— Jaime Eisner (@JaimeEisner) April 19, 2022
Only 16 10.0 sack artists, or 16%, posted a RAS below 5.00.
That means 84% posted an above average RAS. Want some sacks for your defense? Get some athletes.

Sean Payton addresses rumors and reports linking him to Miami, and he admits that “intermediaries talked” about the possibility. https://t.co/W4F54HeBLE

So apparently Apple’s deal to acquire NFL Sunday Ticket rights is “done” (this is going to keep pushing the salary cap up btw), meaning we should be able to watch NFL games on almost any smart TV or Apple device.
Seems like a no-brainer move by the NFL. DirecTV sucks.

Sources close to the Baker Mayfield situation tell @TonyPauline a trade to either the #Panthers or #Seahawks likely wouldn’t happen until after the first round of the #NFLDraft is completed next Thursday.#PFNReport | #Browns https://t.co/r3vD4JiCpW

The #Nats just swept a double header for the first time in a couple years. They had seven chances last year and never went 2-0. They’ve already done it in 2022.
Great way to start a 10-game homestand.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) April 20, 2022
My favorite thing about this trade is the picks next year.
NO offered their entire draft, and Washington was like ‘we’re gonna need next year’s 1 and 3 too’
Saints: “OK, cool”. pic.twitter.com/riGspvFrhv
