SmittyBacall Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Happy draft week all! As the draft approaches, I'm trying to get a clearer understanding on which prospects teams are zeroing in on. There are a lot of sources out there who provide good info, and a lot more that provide bad info. Who are the best insiders (might only be one person) of your favorite team (or other team), and what is there take on what happens for their pick round 1? Feel free to use the template below: Team: Most trustworthy Insider(s): Their take: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Team: Buffalo Bills Most trustworthy Insider(s): Joe Buscaglia (The Athletic) Their take: Bills are all in on WR. They want a guy who can start in the slot right away but also play in the Z role so Diggs can move into the slot. Davis stays out at X almost exclusively anyway. If the board doesn't fall the way they hope. Expect true BPA to be taken at DL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Honestly the Raiders hardly have any good insiders/beats. I guess Hondo Carpenter would be the one I trust the most but our Athletic guys (Reed and Tafur) are traaaash. Honestly there's so much bickering and childish attacks between them all, it's super comical. Matches our disaster of a team perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witherspoon, but his mock has Carter, Wilson and Anderson all off the board and he acknowledges they'd probably take one of those three over a CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucsDraftGeek47 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Beat writers or true insiders are a dying breed For the Bucs I guess you could say Pewter Report as a whole. They always seemed to be plugged in the right places with guys the bucs truly like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 For Bengals, it's probably still team broadcaster and former player Dave Lapham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris Johnson > Darnell Wright have been the two most commonly mentioned (assumption that PJJ won't make it to 9, let alone a trade down spot)...

Peter King and Myles Simmons are typically pretty dependable on the Los Angeles beat and King has been fairly adamant that the Chargers are high on Addison.
