nice pick up from the eagles, adds another threat to your already dangerous backfield :agree:Quote:

Aye but we might have lpst Wilfork which means teams can just run instead of throw!Quote:

Wilfork leaving seems to have gone quiet too... :cb
DeSean Jackson on the move?
Sanchez released... Ron Mexico signs!
Nowhere near the playmaker he used to be, but a reformed character off the field by all accounts.Quote:

He'll be used as Geno's 'mentor' I would think. I just noticed the jets picked up probably our worst player, offensive lineman Brent 'false start' Giacomini, who seemed to get penalised three times a game. Good luck with that :greengrinQuote:

Decker is a great pick up though, we still need another quality wideout, hopefully through the draft rather than DeSean Jackson. An expereinced cornerback is a must too, I like Milliner but he's not proven enough to be the teams top option in the backfield.
I'm afraid Giacomini is honking, sorry :greengrin Russell Wilson actually seems to play better when he's facing a heavy rush, which is lucky, but Giacomini never seemed to stand up to his rusher. Plus he's always jumping offsides. It may be that he's just a cover and you're looking to draft a guy at right tackle I suppose.Quote:

Sanchez passes his medical in philly.
It wasnt intercepted so that's a good start.
Big Vince is going nowhere! New 3 year deal.
Very happy with that.
Very, very happy here! We're building a mean D hopefully!Quote:

Just finished watching the express, a film about Ernie Davis. That guy went through a lot! Sad ending for him though. I would recommend if you haven't seen it.
Champ Bailey to the Saints could be a good one if he stays healthy.
Cant wait to see Byrd play for us.
Jets draft day blunders, some of the fan reactions are hilarious, trying to find other teams blunders but youtube only seems to have jets

Are there no Jonathan Sullivan videos out there to keep you entertained?Quote:

Good news :aok: we overpaid for Rice last time but he's one of the good guys by all accounts. Love the story of him just dropping in on a fan in Switzerland to play Madden when he was abroad getting surgery :hilariousQuote:

Thats why we're staying way under the salary cap; we have to start paying big bucks shortly to Wilson, Earl Thomas and Sherman, who we signed for relative peanuts.Quote:

Always thought Pryor would make it as a pro.
If Wilson et al win another SB this year then the $1.2m spent on Wilson these past two years will be amazing!
Pats start away to Miami and Min. Only two games on Mon/thurs football.
Jessies open to Raiders and Packers.
Seahawks open v the Packers
We start away to the Falcons and then away to the Browns. Vikings week 3 back in the Dome.
Looking to try to get back over this year to watch either Pack @ Saints or Ravens @ Saints in the superdome. Looks more expensive for flights and hotels compared to last year though.
My mate has only gone and booked his wedding on a Sunday! AND the Pats are at home to the Bears!
Only 18 more sundays without Football!
Earl Thomas got the big deal at Seattle!
Sherman on $57m 4 year deal!
Delighted. He's the man.:cbQuote:

Looking forward to tomorrow! A WR or CB wouldn't go amiss!
Not sure on the draft, reckon Texans will tak J Clowney first and hope to pick up a qb later. Lot of decent qbs but how many teams looking?
Pats wise I reckon we are going for some DBs first, maybe a WR.
the player id love the Saints to draft is Odell Beckam Jr :pray: but i reckon he will be long gone by the time we're on the clock, the inside chatter is we are taking Marcus Martin a Centre seeing as we dont have any right now and hes the no.1 rated centre, we also need a CB so Stanley Jean-Baptiste or Keith McGill could be in play + we could do with another DE - maybe Dee Ford from auburn who reckons he will be a better player long term than Clowney :wink:
Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) has:
Jets to take Odell Beckham Jr
Pack to take DE Ra'Shede Hageman
Saints to take C Marcus Martin
Patriots to take DE Dominique Easley
Seattle to take CB Bradley Roby.
Who knows though!
I'd be amazed if we draft Roby at CB, hes only 5'10" and we like 'em big. I could watch that Clowney hit on that Michigan RB all day :greengrin Unbelievable power.Quote:

talk of Manzeal going to the cowboys is crazy considering the contract they gave romo but then i forgot jerry jones is the GM as well as owner, "Johnny Football" going to "Americas team" has jerry jones written all over it, sounds less crazy more i think about it :greengrin
Do the players know who's going to draft them or do they not have a clue until it's announced?
think they find out a couple of minutes before the pick is announced on the floorQuote:

#1 Clowney to texans.
#2 Robinson to Rams.
#3 Bortles to Jags.
Bills trade up to 4 from Browns...
#4 Sammy Watkins to Bills.
#5 Khalil Mack to Raiders
#6 Jake Matthews to Falcons
#7 Mike Evans to Bucs
Vikings trade to Browns...
#8 Justin Gilbert to Browns
#9 Antony Barr to Vikings

#20 Brandin Cooks to Saints
If I was a Bills or Raiders fan I'd be over the moon! I'm pleased we went with someone for the backfield. Loved the reaction for the Dolphins pick too!
Browns to get Manzeil at 26 after passing on him at 4??
#21 Haha Clinton Dix to Packers
Cleveland trade up..
#22 Johnny Manziel to Cleveland
I've been drinking ever time they have mentioned or shown Johnny Football. So excuse me if my spelling goes as a drink per 20secs is not good.
#23 Dee Ford to Chiefs
#24 Darqueze Dennard to Bengals
#25 Jason Verrett to Chargers
#26 Marcus Smith to the Eagles
#27 Deoune Bucannon to the Cards
#28 Kelvin Benjamin to Panthers
#29 Dominique Easley to the New England Patriots
#30
That was an anti climax; we traded away our pick! Packers did well to get the Haha man as low down as 21.
Happy with HAHA the guys a beast!
Surprised Manziel went so low but I suppose there are question marks over his ability to step up.
Slightly disappointed with the Giants pick, Ebron would have been good as a redzone target which is more of what we need, still Reese and Coughlin both seemed high on Beckham so we'll see how he is!
I like the Cooks pick.
I think everyone knew we needed a WR.
While Easley looks a talent he has had a few ACL injuries already... Not good!
Think we will use him in the "darren sproles" role myself, pretty happy with this pickQuote:

happy with our 2nd pick too, i wanted Jean-Baptiste or McGill at Cornerback we got Baptiste, a big rangy corner to team up up with Keenan Lewis and Champ Bailey to help teach him the pro game, just need a Centre now, hopefully Marcus Martin or Travis Swanson from Arkansas
Our second pick...a QB???
Starting to think of the future by the looks of it. We've drafted QBs before but never this high.
I like our 2nd pick he seems like one of those awkward receivers that can catch anything even near him.
On paper our draft picks don't look that special, certainly the pundits don't rate them.
On the other hand, I remember year before last we were graded as one of the worst teams in the draft. The first three players we drafted that the pundits hated? Two of our current best players on defence Bruce Irvin in round one, Bobby Wagner in round two and ... Russell Wilson in round three:greengrin
Its all guesswork really.
Is he any good though?Quote:

I fell asleep for a little while, it's been a long day..... Jets and Pack coming up!Quote:

Sam goes to the Rams.
Good for him. Hope he does well.Quote:

Can't claim to know much about any of the rest of our picks...
I just read that 31% of NFL players were undrafted as rookies. Surprisingly high.
I've been reading some comments regarding the draft and a few are saying the Rams are a bad fit due to the amount of competition for places and some seem to think he might get cut.Quote:

Sam could break in to that team IMO.Quote:
