The Jokeman Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) So in reviewing the clues from Beane on the trade that didn't happen because the guy we wanted was drafted before the trade happened 1)It was an offensive lineman 2) It was with a NFC team and 3) it was a move up 3 or 4 picks In Round 3, Lloyd Cushenberry was drafted 4 picks above us and could have moved up 3 spots with the Rams fits the clues to a t. In Round 6, Blake Brandell was drafted 4 picks above us by the Vikings who also owned a pick 2 ahead of us. Yet not sure we'd want to give the Vikings more picks. Thoughts?

I'm not sure I believe that he didn't have Moss targeted in the 3rd round. I'd have to go with the 6th round. 3
DFT Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I don’t know about the NFC stuff, but everyone I’ve spoken to says it was Muti. 1

Also, his comment could have been referring to the Giants at 180. There’s a lot of grey here, but I’m pretty sure it was Muti. Just my opinion. It’ll come out I’m sure. 1

anthonymario Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I was under the impression that Beane was in talks with an NFC team to partner in a trade to move up to their (the NFC teams) spot. I could be wrong.

I’m not going by what Beane said on the call, just going by what’s being discussed by those who have heard otherwise. I have nothing to base this on, just sidebar conversations with a few individuals who would know beyond just speculation or reading tea leaves. Again, nothing here but an opinion. Also, the same individuals both say that the reason for the disinformation is because there’s some bad blood with the club that drafted Muti over their erroneous leaking that they stole Melvin Gordon from Buffalo, when Buffalo wasn’t ever interested (aside from taking a call from D Bilbo (Gordon’s agent). Take this for what it’s worth. A Canadian beaver nickel. Edited April 28, 2020 by DFT 2

Yeah no inside info from me so if you have some than you're better guesser than me.

I think it’s mostly speculative, but both are well placed and trustworthy. They’re also not affiliated with each other so that lends me to believe the smoke/fire aspect. That’s all I’ve got. 1

Kirby Jackson Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 FWIW, I heard that the Bills tried to trade up for Devin Duvernay 3
Aussie Joe Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) It’s not in the 3rd round , as Beane later said that the pick in question here for this mystery player would have already been traded away if they had of been able to move up for Moss like they were trying to..

Based on what Beane said, he was trying to trade up 3-4 picks with an NFC team, but during the discussion the guy got picked. So the 2nd pick of round 6 when we have the 8th is consistent with what Beane was saying. He also said the player was picked by an AFC team. He may have been trying to trade w/ the Panthers or Giants, but the Broncos jumped on him before they got to the team being on the clock.

I like the receivers they drafted but he would’ve added a fun speed and YAC element to the offense - McKenzie but good. Edited April 28, 2020 by Coach Tuesday

I’m wondering if Beane saying it was an OL was BS so as to not cause controversy when he took Davis with the next pick? I heard Duvernay. Maybe my info is bad? I doubt it though. It’s easy to say it was an OL when you didn’t draft another one after to have to answer to, “hey we wanted someone else instead.” Edited April 28, 2020 by Kirby Jackson

It’s easy to say it was an OL when you didn’t draft another one after to have to answer to, “hey we wanted someone else instead.” Muti would’ve been an interesting get as well - if not for injury issues he’s a top interior lineman prospect - if he stays healthy he could end up being one of the steals of the draft. Would’ve been a fan favorite here. Ah well. 2
