We have lots of rumors. I sometimes comment on said rumors, but I always say "if this is true" or "interesting, if true" because I sure as Hell don't know and nobody else does either.
The "educamacated opinion" is that
#1 the Browns are picking Darnold.
#2 the Giants are picking Chubb because they cut JPP which they could have done after the draft or not at all. He was expecting to be re-structured. "HOw about NOPE!"
#3 Jets take Allen
#4 Browns try to trade down to a team that wants Mayfield or Rosen, hopefully for their sake the Broncos. Trading with the Broncos would be getting something for nothing from their perspective. They need extra draft picks and Denver is not going to take their guy which is Sequon Barkley (at least the Browns will believe that is true, or else they wouldn't trade down, but would take Barkley at #4, since everybody has them taking Darnold #1 and Barkley at #4 if he's there).
If the Broncos won't trade, they have to decide whether they love Barkley enough to refuse to trade back further, because if they trade back to Buffalo at #12 then Barkley, Chubb, Nelson, Fitzpatrick, all the top players won't be there.
So, they would get less of a can't miss player and more of a "he's good but not as great a prospect as the top 4 players in the draft who project as All-Pros a the next level if the scouts are right." But they would get an extra Broncos pick at the top of the 3rd round probably.
