With the 15th Pick, the Redskins select...

[Schneed10]

Ever notice how the national media - the ones aligned with ESPN and the NFL Network - are the ones breaking the most bombastic rumors on Twitter? They have us calling about moving up in the draft, they have us fixated on certain quarterbacks, etc.

But the local guys - JP Finlay in particular - keeps saying they're likely to stick at 15 and take an edge rusher unless a QB falls to them.

Hmm... I wonder why the national outlets who SHOW THE DRAFT ON TV would want to see interest piqued? Can't have anything to do with ratings, can it?

Lying season doesn't just apply to coaches and GMs. Consider the sources for all convenient leaks that just so happen to come out during draft week.

Good point.

I can see them moving up a couple, but not into the top 5. My money is on the either staying put or moving back and ending up with Jones.

Good point, I thought the same thing when I looked at NFL.com earlier and saw, "Sweat heart condition may have been misdiagnosed at combine."...

There's no definitive call being made, it's being released the day of the draft..

To me, it's either a late attempt from his agent to hopefully make sure Sweat's condition doesn't cause him to fall too far OR it's like you said, big-box media drumming up interest.

I was just about to post something along these lines, the national peeps can fuck right off, all they’re doing right now is creating drama. Stay with the local beat guys, they know what’s really up.

And even with some local guys, like Chris Russell or Grant Paulsen, like to create drama as well.

To me, if a piece of news that I hear doesn't come from JP Findlay, John Keim, or Craig Hoffman, I'm going to take it with a grain of salt.

True I stopped following Paulsen and Russell a long time ago
