Post any "sources" or tweets or anything you may have heard about team's moving, surprise moves etc. Know a lot of people don't wanna know so I figured we can contain it to one thread.

Latest I'm hearing per PFT is Raiders looking to trade down (as reported yesterday), but are targeting DJ Hayden.

Also as reported yesterday, Falcons looking to move up, targeting Milliner or Rhodes.

LINK

What else you "insiders" got?

Not sure one of the most popular, well-trafficked NFL websites counts as an "insider."

While I commend your caution, I don't really understand this mindset if people don't actually want to know anything while watching the draft. It's a live event, it's not like the draft is based off the book and some people have prior knowledge.

Texans will probably take DJ Fluker if he is available.

Well this year ESPN and NFL network made an agreement not to "tip picks" and Schefter agreed not to tweet anything before picks are made. So they won't be showing people on phones, etc. But that doesn't mean there won't be other volumes of info flying around indicating things they are hearing from the war room. (every draft room has a Gregg Williams sneaking texts from his cell phone behind his HC's back)

Ah, I didn't know this. Still doesn't change my mind that the people that have a problem with this are a bit strange.

Of course it's not the best, but on draft day, a lot more of the info is credible than in the weeks prior. Plus there's lots of random beat writers and people in the twittersphere who throw stuff out at the last minute from "trusted sources" that end up being true. So I figured a wide array of fans could help to contribute.

Elaborate? sarcasm aside, and I can try to accommodate since it is early.

I don't think he will be there, but I would be happy with that.

I don't see him as a fit there at all.

He's a big, bulky plodder. Texans like more athletic guys that can pull and zone block.

I posted this to ST yesterday. Take it with a grain of salt:

Clark Judge ?@ClarkJudgeCBS 7m Source I trust tells me Atlanta trying to trade up to get one of two top CBs in draft -- MIlliner or Rhodes. _______________________________________________


Darren Connolly IV ?@DConnollyNFL 5h Source here in #Atlanta : #Falcons and #Raiders in "very serious discussions" involving a trade including Raiders 1st round pick #NFLDraft

Darren Connolly IV ?@DConnollyNFL 5h Hearing potential trade would include "multiple 2013/2014 draft picks as well as players" being involved #NFLDraft #Raiders #Falcons

Darren Connolly IV ?@DConnollyNFL 1h Source: For potential #Falcons and #Raiders trade to happen, a specific player will have to be available at the 3rd overall pick

#NFLDraft Darren Connolly IV ?@DConnollyNFL 1h Source in #Falcons organization says "if our guy is there, we will pull the trigger, the package is agreed upon" #Raiders #NFLDraft [/quote]

How exactly is this a spoiler thread?

None of you frickers know anything besides what you and thousands of others read on the same internet sites.

Right this second it's not. Like everything else it is speculation. But the closer we get to the draft and during it, there will be info passed along that won't be shown on TV and some people may want to know. In the "Official First Round Thread" people were bitching that no one post any twitter news. If you disapprove move along. Or stay and criticize it don't bother me none.
