The NFL Draft begins tonight and there are tons of rumors that the Green Bay Packers could end up trading Aaron Rodgers. I do not believe that for one bit, but I do think he is upset. I think they will get a deal done for him, and they should absolutely sign him to a long term deal. I mean maybe we will see a blockbuster, but this week I think we could see five other players that get dealt. Let’s check them out!
Drew Lock, QB, Denver Broncos – I think the Broncos are going to move Drew Lock in this draft. I am not sure what team is going to be looking, but if I am a team like the Washington Football Team I am calling about Lock. I feel he would be a great fit in Washington and could likely be had for 4th round pick. If the Broncos pick a quarterback, like I think, he will be dealt.
Zach Ertz, TE, Philadelphia Eagles – Ertz getting traded makes way too much sense. The Eagles aging tight end could use a change of scenery. I think the Seahawks are a team that calls and makes a move for the veteran pass catcher. The Seahawks do not value draft picks like many other teams and I feel getting Russell Wilson some help will keep him happy.
Gardner Minshew, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars – While the Jaguars should keep Minshew Mania on the team, I feel they will trade him. The team I see going after Minshew is the Patriots. I think the Patriots would be crazy not to trade a pick for him. Minshew is a player that can come in and learn the system under Cam Newton. I think he would be a better fit than Jimmy Garoppolo.
Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, San Francisco 49ers – The 49ers are going to take a quarterback, and I would not be shocked to see a team like the Buccaneers swing a deal for him. I mean the Buccaneers quarterback is not going to play forever. They are repped by the same agent and he has sat behind him once before. This move makes a ton of sense.
Stephon Gilmore, DB, New England Patriots – Patriots use Stephen Gilmore as a chip to move up into the draft. I could see a team like the Panthers landing him. The Panthers get Stephon Gilmore and a first in the 2022 NFL Draft to have the Patriots come up to 8 so they can select a quarterback? I mean it could happen….
