Very interesting. Trade down possibility maybe?
Im starting to think so.
I think Flores/Grier are planning to add more picks, much more so than they are planning to have less picks.

You think they want more than 14 picks this year? I don't think so. I can't even see them making 10 total picks. 14 is crazy ad it is.Im starting to think so.

Hey board blake and i seem to disagree and i honestly would like other opinions. Does anyone else think teams bring in althlete they have no intention of signing? I fully believe they do. Thoughts?

Lol believe what you want.*crickets*
Just use your brain, NFL is a billion dollar industry with hundreds of millionaire coaches, players, owners etc. Are they really going to waste their own limited time and limited resources for the sole purpose just to confuse other teams?? See how dumb that sounds? What's more important evaluating a player or confusing other teams? I'm seriously, let's end it with the smoke screen crap. It's due diligence.
Love>Herbert? That's the question. If so, you take him at 5 if Burrow and Tua are gone.
If you really show interest in Love, you possibly reduce the Perceived leverage that teams at 2-4 have in terms of trade-up demand. You cast a message to these teams of "you want Tua? Take him then".
There is misdirection or the term smokescreen wouldnt exist but it would be hard to prove how far this extendsIt makes me laugh that some don't believe teams will interview with no real intentions.
Just like FAs use one team to drive up thier contract negoiation with another. When they never intend on signing...in...miami....
Just like the Rooney rule.
You guys really don't think this goes both ways???
And to those who doubt that teams use smokescreens...is this your first NFL Draft?
Have you ever played poker? How about chess? Did you ever try to make a girl jealous by flirting with her friends? Have you ever negotiated a business deal and wanted to create some type of leverage?
Manipulation...its one of the many tools humans have been using for thousands of years to achieve an aim. I think its safe to say that these dozens of very intelligent and competitive men (in one of the most highly coveted arenas in professional sports) are engaging in this behavior on the daily.
In this game of chance, there is a lot of what they cannot control. But what they CAN control is other teams perception about what THEY are going to do.
Its a good thing we don't have these guys that deny the reality of smokescreens running our team...that's all I can say.
Physical tools don't mean much if your IQ is below 70
Would you at least agree that teams do it with coaches to fulfill the Rooney rule?There is misdirection or the term smokescreen wouldnt exist but it would be hard to prove how far this extends
On the flip side players and agents use this tactic all the freakin time in the major sports leagues to drive their price up - so why is it outlandish that teams wouldn’t do it to each other???
Gms and Agents share these skills in common and some have done both jobs in their careers
