I'm torn about this. Revis is my favourite player in the league. I like that we're getting their first round pick, I don't like that I'll need to think of a new name for my fantasy team.

I think you've won here in all honesty. A first round draft pick in return for an injury risk who's trade also removes some of the salary cap.

Revis is a good player but the first round draft pick allows you to start rebuilding for the future and freeing up some room to acquire new talent in the coming seasons

[hibsbollah]

The Buccs were a good team last season let down by the leagues worst secondary. Theyve now broken the bank to bring in Revis from the Jets and Goldson from the 49ers. Another definite contender IMO.

Just goes to show how far we've fallen. To be fair thought, I'm very surprised we got a first for him. With all the players we've now moved on our wages must be down a hell of a lot.

They've got a bye in week one already . Aw well. It was fun while it lasted. Looks like we're back to the good old days

First game for revis + the fucs is against...JETS, should be fun. Incidentally that should be tampa skint for the next couple of years, they splashed out last year signing carl nicks + vincent jackson and now goldson + revis + casillas, methinks josh freeman won't be getting his contract renewed now ;)

Just doing a bit of catch up while watching the Hibs game. The Buckeyes played, well they played themselves in a scarlet v grey bounce type game last weekend. Game was played at the Bengals stadium and the thing that stands out to me is that the crowd was 37,643 .

We are going west coast next season which means that we should be throwing the ball more. Watch Revis return at least 2 for a TD. Remember, it's Sanchez throwing the ball .

Who's idea is it to go with a west coast offence when we've got this guy as QB .

Impressive - more than many Premiership clubs manage on a weekly basis.

You have to like your chances this coming season by the way? Meyer had you playing some good stuff last year

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/04/sec-...me-attendance/ some crazy spring game attendances from auburn and alabama, SEC teams looking like they will carry on their recent strong showings, the dominant division and as some pundits call it, the NFC SE ;)

Just a heads up NFL Game Pass is free this weekend for those who do not have it and would like to watch the draft

2013 1st round draft tonight, im predicting the Saints to draft Kenny Vaccaro or Sheldon Richardson, the popular pick would be Barkevious Mingo but its not often a team picks the player the fans want i dont think any QB will go in the 1st round this year, not 1 of them comes across as a franchise ready QB, they all look like backups TBH, im also keeping a look out for Terron Armstead an OT who had a brilliant combine and Tyrann Mathieu a top player with some off field shenanigans to his name mind you with a dad in jail for murder an absent mum and being adopted by your aunt and uncle id say hes done well for himself to get this far

I think someone will take a chance on QB Geno Smith in the first round. I have a feeling Pete Carroll will go for QB Matt Barkley from USC, but not till the 2nd round which is late on Friday night.

Take it thats only from the 2nd round then?
Anyone know if ESPN are showing the first round online for free?

[Haymaker]

No QBs in the first 7...

Rams trade up over the Jets for Austin

[Haymaker]

5 out of 10 are OL.

[James.]

NFL Network trolling the Jets for drafting a CB. They're forgetting that we'll not be Milliner $16 million per year. I'd take Nasib next just to p off the Bills for screwing us out of Tavon Austin

Can't believe Floyd is still on the board.

[Haymaker]

Jets take a DT... Fans were booing it seemed?


Yep, jessies booed their pick. He best get used to it I suppose...

Wasn't the dream pair of picks, unlucky to see a lot of positional needs disappear right before our two choices - I'm certain we were after Tavon Austin and that's why the Rams moved up. I'm sure both players will be great players though. We'll have some defensive line in a couple of years with Coples, Wilkerson and now Richardson.

Still some interesting players left - Floyd, Smith and Teo.

[Haymaker]

Floyd has gone, Teo will go soon but I dont see Geno going in the 1st now

Still, booing your draft picks? Jets-class.

[Calvin]

I think that the Rams have done well here. Trade up for a great player and trade down to facilitate it, but maintain your two first rounders. Looking forward to our picks tomorrow now!

Didn't see any Jets fans booing? You have a lot of Giant and Patriot fans in the building.

[James.]

Aw hope no Patsy fans have been staying up to watch them pick in the first

[Haymaker]

All the "experts" plus all of twitter agreed the Jessies booed that second pick.

Im a bit pissed we traded but we got 4 more for it... Not sure who we go for now anyways.

[Gatecrasher]

Datone Jones was our first pick, I dont know much about him but plays in an area needing looked at IMO.

Surprised. I only saw him in the combine but he looked scary. The Vikings must be delighted to get him at 23.

[Sylar]

It's strange - for all I love both the NCAA and the NFL, I just can't get excited about the draft. Same every year.

Most likely because we're never in a position to capture any of the REALLY exciting names (and not that I wish for that).

[Gatecrasher]

Anyone know what time the draft starts tonight?

Cheers,might watch it.

Typical Jets. They do something right and then 10 mins later they totally blow it. Dee Millner looks the part and is by far the best CB in the draft. With Revis leaving it makes sense and I've no complaints there. Then it comes to Sheldon Richardson . Don't get me wrong, he's a good player but I don't see how he fits our system and despite our loses, where he will play. A very strange pick at that point in the draft as there was plenty of better players in there.
Good news is that we could be going against the grain and looking like our next pick could actually be on the O. Talk of us even trading up for a QB. Geno Smith is the obvious choice but there are a few teams looking at him.
