Every single year the rumors about team's intentions leading up to the NFL Draft seem to change on a daily basis. This is commonplace with so much uncertainty and coverage of college players set to make the jump to the next level and this year is no different.
According to Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson, most of these rumors swirling ahead of the draft are totally false. Robinson recently talked about the endless stream of rumors in the NFL ahead of Thursday's NFL Draft, via Jason Wolf of the Tennessean.
“I’d say (they’re) mostly wildly untrue,” Titans general manager Jon Robinson said Monday during a pre-draft press conference at Saint Thomas Sports Park. “You just try to sort through it and you try to connect as many dots as possible, knowing once the commissioner puts the teams on the clock and the draft gets going, all bets are kind of off.”
This year's NFL Draft is all about quarterbacks. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that three quarterbacks could be taken consecutively to start the draft on Thursday with Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, and Baker Mayfield potentially considered to be franchise players.
The question now is which quarterback goes first and where will the other top-tier players at the position land in the draft. Louisville's Lamar Jackson is also getting a lot of buzz as of late with the New England Patriots potentially interested in bringing him in through the draft.
Needless to say, there's been plenty of rumors floating around about the immediate futures of these quarterbacks. Mayfield, Rosen, Darnold, and Allen have all been rumored at one point or another to be the Cleveland Browns' choice at No. 1, but no one seems to know for sure.
On Thursday, the rumors will be put to rest once the first round of the draft gets underway with all four of these quarterbacks and possibly even Jackson being taken within the first 32 picks.
