With eight days remaining until the 2019 draft starts to take shape, it's a little murky out there. The scant information that flows in the league's draft rumor pipeline is sketchy at best, with few club executives I communicated with expressing confidence they have a handle on the how the top of the draft will unfold next Thursday night in Nashville. One longtime personnel executive said he hasn't heard anything that he truly trusts, describing this year's draft as 'non-descript' and lacking in 'interesting' angles. Another said there are little to no rumors being floating just yet, with clubs seemingly guarding their information and opinions closer than ever before. If there's juicy scuttlebutt produced by this year's draft, it has yet to formulate and may not arrive until next week as we draw closer to the picking.
