Phil The Thrill Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) I listed to an interview with Joe Marino who works at the Draft Network - which is pretty small time compared to national outlets. He claimed that he’s been approached by teams/agents to report the wrong information as a smokescreen. Do you believe this is happening at the National level? Take this tweet from Ian Rapoport. I believe that either Miami is trading up to take a QB (Tua or Herbert) or they are bluffing as a smokescreen so 1 of the 2 QB’s are left by the time they pick. The majority of people who replied to the tweet do as well. Does anyone honestly believe they are trading up for a tackle? It seems unlikely and that Rapoport has been given fake news as strategy. So then why would be report this... The question is does Rapoport: a.) believe this rumor to be true b.) know this rumor is likely false but is reporting it anyway for attention/engagement c.) know the rumor is likely false but reporting fake as a favor for an agent/team d.) getting a kickback to report fake news Edited April 22, 2020 by Phil The Thrill

DFT Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Reporting from most sources this time of year is a septic tank. Whatever gets flushed, finds its way there. Except for qtips. 2
YoloinOhio Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Yes they do. They don’t get a kickback per se but they do it as a favor and then the team will then give them info to report first down the line. Rap sheet has Beane in his pocket btw. You can tell from the Melvin Gordon stuff. He also has the Chargers. Edited April 22, 2020 by YoloinOhio
The Jokeman Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Reporters may not be aware they're spreading false news, so the answer is a tough one to give a definitive yes or no answer. 3

The Dolphins with multiple picks might in the 1st just be waiting to see which QB falls to them with a later pick especially since picks after the top 10 get a lesser contract in their 5th year option it might be a wiser cap move taking a QB later than sooner.

BuffaloRebound Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 This is such a bad smokescreen by Miami that if I’m Detroit I smell the desperation and I’m asking for more trade comp. Now Washington wants in on the shakedown. Problem with Miami is they have so much draft capital and the Herbert stuff is nonsense. It’s like walking into a Used Car dealership with hundred dollar bills falling out of your pockets.

I think there is no truth to reporters getting paid or whatever to set up smokescreens for certain teams. And I am sick and tired of people using the”fake news” nonsense. Just because a reporter writes something you don’t like doesn’t make it fake.
CaptnCoke11 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 It’s laughable reading reports from “insiders” right now. Teams aren’t telling these guys the truth. People act like teams are calling these guys saying hey we are picking this player so get the word out

Well you better get used to being sick and tired because that “report” from Rapoport is totally crap and everybody knows it.
billieve420 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Probably fake rumors but I threw $25 each on OT Andrew Thomas and Jedrick Willis going 3rd at 60-1 on Draft Kings. Trying to come out ahead by putting money on Okudah going #3 to the Lions so hopefully no one trades up for a QB.

JoeF Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 I just heard the Bills are offering all their picks to the Jags for a DE and a RB...
