  • Well then… that’s a day 1 I’ll have to be proved wrong on. Very iffy on the trade back and the pick. 
  • I have the same thought every year with the draft. You can draft sensibly for need and position but still have a bad draft ( players fail to adapt to NFL, injuries, ego etc). All the ratings are a guide (best guess) but you really don't know until a few years down the road.

  • Devin Lloyd was a name I was looking out for after watching the NFL 360 piece on Utah, within a year they lost 2 of their best players, one to an accidental gunshot wound, the other to an argument at a party culminating in the young man being shot down. 

    Lloyd decided not to declare for the draft last year in a bid to help the Utes out last season, and they won the PAC 12 for the first time

    Apart from the top spots, the mock draft ‘experts’ can do one.

    I suspect the Packers have something planned as they neither traded up for a wide receiver or selected one with their picks despite a glaring need.

    Two defensive players from Georgia (happy with that) but Rodgers needs some weapons.

    After being on the fence with the Cowboys first round pick, I am relatively content with the overall haul.

    1.24 Tyler Smith OT/OG - gave up penalties at tackle but should be a solid guard. Has a nasty streak that the Cowboys have been missing in the trenches.
    3.56 Sam “De” Williams DE - not a premier rusher in the class but holds the Ole Miss record for sacks in a season… Dan Quinn is in love with him and that’s good enough for me. Go look at a picture of him, Micah Parsons doppelgänger…
    3.88 Jalen Tolbert WR - looks like a good route runner that will plug the hole Amari Cooper left but also has a deep threat ability too… only question mark is the competition he faced through college… can he make the step up?
    4.129 Jake Ferguson TE - one of the top tight ends in the class, he helps to address depth issues with Blake Jarwin moving on and Dalton Schultz on the franchise tag.
    5.155 Matt Waletzko OT - huge bloke at 6’8” but still very raw in terms of technique, will be back up this year with starting potential through year 2 and 3.
    5.167 DaRon Bland CB - an obvious Dan Quinn pick, Bland was the only cornerback on the Cowboys 30 visit list. He is very tall for his position and likes to get his hands on the ball, sometimes a little bit too often. Another development project on the depth chart.
    5.176 Damone Clark LB - was apparently a second round grade based on talent alone but unfortunately had to recently undergo spinal fusion surgery which tanked his stock. Very high upside potential with this pick: Parsons, Cox and Clark could be as good a trio as any in the league if they are able to make the field together.
    5.178 John Ridgeway DT - a low ceiling, high floor type of player - he will compete for a starting place on the interior almost right away. He has proved that he can make an impact against good competition. He’s not the next Aaron Donald but he’s hungry and has a nasty streak on the field that the team needs.
    6.193 Devin Harper, LB - likely a practice squad player this year. All the traits are there, he has a very high ceiling but there is work to do to realise that potential.

    Lastly, a couple of UDFAs that I’m very excited about:

    Alec Lindstrom, OC - on pure talent alone he’s a mid round draftable prospect but his fall is likely due to concerns about his size and how he’ll cope with NFL level competition. His older brother plays guard for the Falcons.
    Jon Garibay, K - kicker is a massive need for Dallas this year after Zuerlein was let go. Garibay was 49/50 on PATs in college, with a 15/16 record on FG attempts last year including a walk off 62 yarder to beat Iowa State.

    June apparently. Don't know the specific date though.
  • The NFL really has no shame does it. Imagine being a Saints fan and having your opening home game played in London.

    Is the new season starting a month late? Last year it started 9/9 so I would expect the Saints to have a couple of home games in September prior to London...

  • Vikings @ Saints is week 4
  • Chargers sign Van Noy. Getting on a bit now but good experience to have with our relatively young group.

    Was amazing for the Pats first time around, then went to Miami and signed a big contract but only lasted a year, came back to us and was decent if not spectacular, will be interesting to see if he does well out west
  • Can anyone tell me if in their opinion the Commanders have done good or bad business in the draft? I have absolutely no interest in the draft at all after getting excited with RG3!
  • This article consolidates the opinions of various writers from most of the NFL sports sites.
    Whether or not the majority of those are good opinions is anybodys guess.

    Smith, in my opinion is a terrible 1st round pick.  Gave up THE MOST penalties last year.  He'll fit right in with our defence - the most penalised in the NFL.

    It goes on.

    I'm sorry but I don't share your enthusiasm @Callumcafc

    I fear Zeke is a year older and slower.  So are Zack Martin and Tyrone Smith.  Amari has gone plus Randy Gregory  

    The Eagles have massively improved and traded well.   Thankfully Jalen Hurts isn't as good as Prescott.   But we are getting nowhere near the Superbowl this year.

    He’s the pick I’m least convinced about… which is an issue when he’s your first rounder, for sure. There are a few things that comfort me though:

    - this scouting team are really good at picking first round OL talent, I’ll trust they’ve done their homework
    - Smith picked up all of those penalties at LT, we are planning to play him LG where some of his technique issues will be masked - hopefully he’ll be ready for LT in a few years after his technique is straightened out
    - Smith played over 900 snaps his senior year, more than 20 per game greater than any other prospect in the first three rounds and being on the field that much will naturally lead to more flags.

    The problem Connor Williams had was that he was holding too much because he had to, otherwise he was getting beat. This kid is a monster with a couple of small technique issues that can hopefully be fixed.
  • I hope so, I really do!
