NFL Discussion and Fantasy League thread

[polymerpunkah]

Have to hand it to the NFL.

 

Middle of perhaps the most exciting NBA play-off season ever, hockey play-offs going, baseball up-and-running, and still a lot of people are talking about the draft, and have been for the past two months.

 

That includes the radio and TV press over here in NA.

 

No surprise it's so popular.

 

(This isn't a criticism, btw. I love the NFL. Best league by a mile in terms of entertainment value/parity etc this side of the Atlantic, IMO.)

Greg Robinson and Haha Clinton-Dix. Ta.

 

This Manziel smokescreen has been so convincing, even I'm starting to think there's some truth in it.

I think Pryor is the better of the two safties myself. Them lads from Bama are half shot by the time they hit the league. Saying that if CJ Mosley slips to 27 id take him.

That is my reservation as well. I wouldn't be too bothered if we picked a high end CB and then picked Joyner in the 2nd or 3rd.

Guard or Tackle, tight end, safety, defensive end (probably lower down priorities having signed Will Smith) defensive tackle (insurance for Willfork).

Atlanta aren't going to jump up to get Clowney. ...are they?.

 

Be funny if Manziel dropped like a stone.

 

 

[Lee909]

Wil Smith isnt a tackle he is a run stuffing DE.

 

Falcons will jump if given the chance

I know, that's what I said.

Sorry read post wrong.

 

Smith isnt bad as a backup but that's all he is these days

It's my fault I missed a comma or an and.

Steelers will trade down. Desperate for secondary help, wafer thin Defensive line and a big receiver.

 

We need players.

[Cardie]

Mayocks draft is out, he's got Manziel dropping to 16 with Dallas.

 

[Lee909]

Cant see it myself. Somebody

will move up I think

[Carvalho Diablo]

Loving the Browns mocks I'm seeing atm.

 

The consenus seems to be Watkins (or Robinson) at 4 and then Teddy B at 26. I'd prefer Robinson but either of those would be an amazing 1st round for us.

[Cardie]

Ryan Mallett to Houston rumours have started up again.

[BCM]

I dont think he will drop that far, What time does it start proper 1am?

[Lee909]

I dont see how the Cowboys viable take Manziel.Romo has $55ml in guaranteed money on his deal.

Reported before that sources at the Giants said they will take Manziel if he is still there at 12. Think they are baiting myself but be interesting to see what happens.

Anyway im going to take a wild guess at Mack getting selected 1st

[Lee909]

Manziel wont get past Tampa and Minnesota imo

Depends on how much influence Norv Turner get's in the decision/influences the thinking of the GM (likely very little). Doesn't seem much point in them bringing him in then drafting a QB that doesn't fit, Bortles would be a better option.

[Cardie]

Interesting to see what the Patriots do at QB (Not in the first). Regardless of whether they trade Mallett or not they need a dev QB. McCarron (if he drops low enough), Savage (Likewise after his rise) or does the talk about a trade with Tampa (if they draft Manziel)  for Glennon.

[Lee909]

It wether he is still there 

[Yozzer]

Jeff Fisher still rocking that finely groomed mustache.

[Cardie]

Houston are taking there fucking time if they're that high on Clowney, taking it to the wire trying to get out of that spot.
