There are the usual rumors of all sorts of things, and here is the rumor of a possible trade with Atlanta.   Caldwell worked for Atlanta GM Thomas Dimitroff, and Atlanta's new HC, Dan Quinn, recruited Dante Fowler to UF.  So the rumor is that Atlanta might make a trade with us and then pick Dante Fowler at 3.

No team should move up or down in the draft without having a player targeted for their new spot.   So what player fits for us at pick #8?    Assuming the two QBs get drafted first and second overall, can you name 6 more players we would like to draft, so we would be assured of having a player fall to us at pick # 8?  

 

I can.   In no particular order,  Williams, Fowler, Cooper, White, Beasley, Gurley.   We would wind up with one of those. 

 

So let's say we make the deal because we would be assured of getting a player we want at # 8.   And then the draft goes like this:   Winston, Mariota, Fowler, Cooper, Williams, White, Beasley.   Who is your pick?   Gurley?  Dupree?   Trae Waynes?  Scherff?  Devante Parker?
