Packers moving up to Seattles 21st spot, interesting.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Andre Dillard to Eagles good pick there suprised that Jawaan Taylor is still on the Board given how highly rated he was
Also it is suprising how little movement on DB's there has been

 

[kieran_vale]

Josh Jacobs to the Raiders. Like it, normally a lot more comfortable with a 1st rounder on a RB in the latter stages of the round.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Marquise Brown to the Ravens good pick definately the best WR this year it will be interesting to see how he does in an offence based heavily on the Run game.

 

[kieran_vale]

Washington traded up into Indys spot, would expect another receiver to be off the board here.

Edit - gone with Sweat instead. Excellent pick, should have been off the board long before in all honesty.

 

[kieran_vale]

A rare sight the Pats drafting a WR in the first round. N'Keal Harry not who I thought would take but he's decent enough I think.

 

[pride_of_notts]

I would be pretty happy with that for the Pats might of been a bit of a reach but it does give the Pats a deep threat if not a particular fast one

As for the second round there looks like to be a lot of value at Cornerback also I am interested to see where Jawaan Taylor falls to he was regular being mocked in the top 15 and the best tackle for me he is the No1 player left on the board also it will be interesting to see where DK Metcalf falls to

 

[kieran_vale]

Seen a couple of reports that the Cards didn’t even start making calls to deal Rosen until minutes before the draft which probably explains why they took so long to get the pick in. If so they have really shot themselves in the foot as that has contributed to depressing any value they may have got for him.

Am thinking we either double down on a receiver or look at a TE on day 2. Irv Smith is probably the next best one on the board but if not Sternberger quite intrigues me as an option.

Cards seem to be wanting the Browns mantle of the worst possible front office once they settled on Kyler they should of been shopping Rosen doing it right before the draft actually started is a disaster wonder if they get to pick 1st next year they take Tua.

TE is probably a bigger need for you now also I think there is some good receivers on day 3 like Renfrow

Tonight there is definately going to be a big run on WR and corners early on as that seems to be where the value is.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Jawaan Taylor finally off the Board to the Jags really good pick there also it's not a suprise the previous two was Corner's

 

[Stagat]

Bills drafting a bunch of players that folks on r/buffalobills are loving. How you feeling about them, pride_of_notts ?

 

[pride_of_notts]

In short very happy especially the top two picks in Oliver and Ford
Ed Oliver- absolute love personally I was amazed he dropped out of the top 5 a serious upgrade I feel in applying an interior Pass rush which you really need against the Pats in particular

Cody Ford - It was interesting he fell out of the 1st definately should be our starting Right Tackle really with the free agency moves and this the O line should be much better it should be much better Allen not running for his life

Devin Singletary- Think he will more likely be a Back up to Shady and Frank but the Running back room is looking interesting now it was probably one of the biggest disappointment last year

Dawson Knox- to be honest I don't know a lot about him but Tight end was a need .

 

[Stagat]

Yep, especially as they picked up Yeldon too. Maybe stacking a few younger ones to learn from Shady and Gore and see if they can do well in the meantime too. And also I guess never know when those two are going to fall off a cliff. Good times though, I love the feeling around the organisation right now.

Best wishes to Pancho too. Not good news there.

Enjoyed Pat McAfee's turn at the draft.

 

[pride_of_notts]

Yeah it will be interesting to see how they cut the Running Back room I would imagine Christian Wade would be going onto the practice Squad I can't see him grabbing a roster spot but the Bills do look like they could be in for a much better year they have done really well it seems in free agency and the draft though I thought we would of grabbed a WR in the draft even though we have since grabbed a couple UDFA's

Pancho it is really terrible with the news him going into a Hospice it was nice to see the Bills reaching out to him with him calling in the pick.

Mcafee was great I love the trash talking you get from one of the Host City's rivals

[.V.]

[Ciderhead]

Confess I haven't actually given this a try before but I'm up for giving it a go if you need the numbers

 

[Luke_1884]

I'll reactivate the league if there's interest.

Get it going saaaan.

 

[Craig]

League has been reactivated. Everyone who was in last year has been too. Let me know if you want to join or be removed from the league and I'll set up a draft date closer to the new season.

 

[Craig]

Headcount fellers. If you’re in post your team name because I’m going to be removing any inactive players ASAP.

Make America Gronk Again - cheers Craig.

Meanwhile it has taken literally a matter of a couple of months for AB to start playing up in Oakland. If ever there was any doubt the Steelers took the right course of action moving him on for what they can get then that has now surely been settled

[Stagat]

That whole Twitter thread is sad to read when you consider how many bangs to the head he must've taken during his career. Least not this one ofc.

 

[KevinMcallister]

what is wrong with some of these footballers

ffs you get millions to play, just play and stop whinging about having it tough, I've noticed how they are all very forgiving and sorry for their mistakes in college before the draft and the massive signing bonuses, funny that


anyway Leeds Lightning creg although if I still can i'm goping to change my name to Mallik Wilks has a knife
