    Redskins trade #21 to the Texans - Texans select Will Fuller. Redskins receive #22 and a 6th round pick next year.

    At #22, Redskins select Josh Doctson.

    what's the story behind that trade? swapping 21 and 22 seems a bit odd

    I read today that the Redskins/Texans trade was because the Texans liked Fuller so much that they were worried someone would jump them for him. So they jumped one pick to guarantee him.

    I guess that makes sense as the skins were after a receiver as well. Still seems slightly odd though

    I predict the Bengals will continue their impressive run in play off games and accordingly receive the 24th pick in next years draft, everything else is just hearsay.

    Probably about right for the browns

    Interesting to see how the Pats start the season, Garoppolo is a decent enough QB, but Brady holds the team together, and really helps "average" players look like superstars

    Just over two weeks to go until the first game. Rematch of Super Bowl 50 with the Panthers taking on the Broncos.

    Still don't think Denver know who their starting QB is going to be...

    I think the Houston Texans could do quite well this year now they have a proper quarterback

    I've been saying for years that Sheffield United Cleveland Browns will come good. This is their year.

    They'll be lucky to finish 4th in the AFC North

    To be fair I think the Browns might not be completely useless this year... RG3 has looked pretty good in pre season.

    Just gutted they binned Manziel, I thought he was perfect for Cleveland. I have very fond memories of him playing Cincy

    Can't wait, will be putting my usual score on SD winning the Super Bowl. About as much chance as RD selling up but oh well.

    I just hope RB coaches and offensive coordinator have done sufficient work to help Melvin Gordon improve on, let's say an average rookie year.

    AFC West will be tough this year though.

    Personally I'd like to see the Bears have a good season. Anyone else have a team they don't necessarily follow but would like to see have a strong season?

    Not concerned about the Bosa saga going on in SD?

    In all honesty, no. The guys an idiot. He would have been the second highest paid rookie behind a QB. He was also offered the highest signing bonus of any player this draft. He's a rookie, if he wants to jeapordize his whole rookie year over money then we're better off without him.

    I'm a Seahawk but always want to see Buffalo do well. Not sure why. Seahawks love comes from the mega drive game Madden 92 where they were just awful so I took a liking to them. Buffalo weren't great either so maybe it comes from that?

    His Dad held out when he was a rookie as well.

    Jordan Matthews - WR(philapdhila eagles)

    De marco murray (even though a recognised player will be cheap after a bad season but still a top player) - RB (Tennessee Titans)

    Martavis Bryant - WR (steelers)

    Travis Kelce - TE (Chiefs)

    A lot of people are tipping Raiders to get play offs but it is a tough division.

    Hopefully Carr maintains his improvement from last season.

    Well at least the Bosa saga has been concluded now?

    Vikings fans will be disappointed that Bridgewater seems to have a serious knee injury that could keep him out the whole season.

    AP just climbed up my draft board a bit. Wouldn't usually draft a RB high but I can't see MIN going any way other than more reliant on the run

    Also gutting that Romo has a broken bone in his back.

    Looks like the Cowboys are going to go with their 4th round QB Dak Prescott for the first few weeks of the season, at the very least.
