    Pass rush, cornerbacks and safety for the Cowboys.

    O-line, outside linebacker, DT and safety. A Tight end and running back wouldn't go a miss either. Punter is also a definite need.

    Chiefs fan

    I think a corner and a safety are needed

    Vikings apparently looking at Mixon at 48. Think I'd take that but would be worried at lack of lineman still available in the 3rd.

    Also don't know if anyone else applied but my Twickenham game purchase codes came through yesterday. Anyone have tips on where to try and sit? Not Twickenham specifically but just in terms of the 'best view' to watch the game.

    Along the side as close to the half-way line as possible.

    Ravens - WR needed after Steve Smith Snr retiring and letting Aiken go. Hopefully one of John Ross, Mike Williams or Corey Davis. I have just seen a mock draft with them taking O.J Howard at TE though, which I'd be ecstatic with.

    Also need a pass rusher, maybe Derek Barnett or Taco Charlton (please!) and probably a CB somewhere.

    To be honest there isn't an awful lot the Patriots need, just a couple of extra hands around the place.

    Knowing us we'll draft a late round MLB and Belichick will work his magic and he'll be our main TE by the end of the season

    Some talk the Ravens like him but can never see that happening after Ray Rice.

    Wow. To get who? Fournette?

    Peterson has signed with the Saints.

    Him and the victim have moved on and I think it's time everyone else did too, it was obviously the wrong thing for him to do but we don't know the full story and probably never will. It'd be a shame for a talent like his to completely be wasted over it.

    Can't see a team trading that to not get a quarterback which the Panthers wouldn't be. Probably the 49ers trying to leak some interest.

    Agree with you there. Only player worth giving up picks for is Myles Garrett but surely the Browns aren't silly enough to pass on him with the first pick.

    I think the Bears were trying to edge them towards Trubisky the other day in saying they'll take him if the Browns don't. Could be interesting.
  • Lions fan for obvious reasons.

    A decent running game would be good to see this season and some support in the air.

    Unlikely. Both Jimmy and Butler are cheap, and Belichek isn't afraid to let them walk st the end of their contracts. The Pats position is that they'll trade them if you offer a lot, but if you don't want to meet the price they are happy to keep them.

    Just had Jermaine Eluemunor brought to my attention, didn't even know there was an Englishman in the draft. Projected 3-4 too.

    I'm a Eagles Fan, draft rumour is if he drops as low as 14 we will take Corey Davis and then Mixon @ 43.

    That takes the Lions off the list of non-represented teams on CL!

    Left with Panthers, Rams, Cardinals, Jaguars, Titans and Texans.

    The irony wasn't lost on me once I got older and followed the NFL more closely. Just my luck that I followed two similarly inept teams. Although I did originally pick them as a 5 year old purely based on their badge.

    Not even as if it's a glamourous place to visit to tick off the bucket list, although can knock off a few Motown sights when I head to Detroit one day.

    That's what I thought, whack huge tags on them and see if anyone's stupid enough to go for it, and reassess the draft next year for a possible franchise QB when TB12 is a year older
