We begin our working day in a familiar position, with Odell Beckham Jr. trade speculation. Previous and present. Sorry, but contemplating the stories involving Beckham, the New England Patriots and the San Francisco 49ers that surfaced on Monday it just can’t be assisted.
To start with, Chris Simms explained on PFT Are living that it was the Patriots’ interest in Beckham that persuaded the Giants not to trade Beckham final offseason.
“The Giants have been heading to trade him, and I think they have been actually seeking, and listening, to all presents,” Simms explained Monday on “PFT Are living.” “It was actually close … [but] I think the Giants received chilly feet and explained, ‘Wait, New England needs him? Uh-oh. Perhaps he’s much better than we assumed. Perhaps we must just maintain him on our personal in its place of him becoming thrown in our facial area and heading to acquire a Super Bowl with the Pats.’”
Pro Soccer Converse also speculated that the 49ers could be a location if the Giants do determine to move Beckham.
PFT wrote:
The 49ers have experienced real interest in Beckham for approximately a yr the only query is no matter whether the Giants are keen to pull the set off. … Beckham continues to be in perform for a trade (no subject what the Giants officially say), and the 49ers continue to be on the small listing of teams that could get him.
Valentine’s Perspective: If the Patriots did in truth have interest in Beckham final offseason, that should not shock everyone. The a person detail in the Simms’ remark that bugged me was him expressing that it took New England’s interest for the Giants to realize how superior Beckham is. I think that’s nonsense. The Giants know how superior he is. To think they need to have other teams to tell them is insulting. As for the speculation about San Francisco, I really don’t doubt for a next that the 49ers would make a big perform for Beckham.

Speculation about this isn’t heading to die right up until it occurs. Or, doesn’t occur.
We will continue on conversing about Murray ideal up right up until the draft, and possibly soon after. From Peter King:
Groups are heading to have to determine no matter whether an unfathomable plan a generation ago—drafting a sub-5-foot-10 quarterback superior in the initial round—is a chopping-edge plan nowadays. Murray is not only a small quarterback. He’s slight. He’s received virtually a Mookie Betts make. Russell Wilson’s much less than an inch taller, but Wilson is developed with a fit of armor. Murray’s developed like an outfielder.
So what GM has the guts to decide Murray for his perform, and his pedigree, and be assured measurement will not wreck his profession?
If you’re ideal, your team’s in the playoffs in 2020. If you’re completely wrong, you’re possibly a highway scout in 2022.
Both way, the point that Murray is in the discussion to be a leading-10 decide a yr soon after a 6-foot quarterback went initial over-all and played perfectly suggests the soccer entire world is switching. A large amount.

More Murray.
AFC Exec 1: “This kid is way much better than Lamar Jackson—better arm, far more correct, much better anticipation, much better processor, much better athlete. I think he’s much better across the board than Lamar, Lamar’s just even larger. But that’s not irrelevant. … If I informed you he was 6′ 3″, you’d be all in, but he’s not. He’s shorter than Russell Wilson, and Russell is a large amount stockier. … He’s a actually superior player. He does all the quarterback stuff actually perfectly. He’s a wonderful athlete. My cling up is his measurement.”
AFC Higher education Scouting Director: “He’s a difficult a person. He’s actually superior, he throws the ball perfectly, there are no throws that he just can’t make on any degree. And I really don’t think him becoming tiny is that massive a dilemma, but when you’re tiny and you operate like he can, I’m not guaranteed how you would not be a little concerned. … You have to make it around him, but he’s quite superior. … And you gotta be real with yourself much too, if you want to acquire him. You may perhaps have a next-round grade on him—I think a large amount of individuals do—but if you think you’re finding him in the next round, you’re possibly not.
AFC Exec 2: “At initial glance, the passing expertise are there. He’s superior. So it’s just the measurement and can you tailor the offense to him. … The excess weight is massive, due to the fact with his physique kind, you’re not guaranteed he can get a large amount even larger. Russell, Baker [Mayfield], those guys have a thickness to them, they are wide-shouldered. That is not this guy’s physique kind. Even as traces have altered, he’s continue to beneath the norm. And right up until we get him on a scale and measure him, that’s heading to be the notion. … He also experienced a actually superior offensive line, wonderful technique, so we did not see him finding strike as a lot. How’s he heading to throw from the pocket at our degree at his height?”
