They all keep saying we'll pick loads of players in the Secondary, but we've already picked up 2 Corners (Prince Amukamara and Markus Cooper) and a Safety (Quintin Demps) in Free Agency.

Can see us picking maybe one player for the Secondary.

Shame the OT's are rubbish this year apparently.

We may go for a TE in the early rounds.

They usually show the 1st Round on Sky. Think they showed the 2nd-3rd Round last year too.

I want another Linebacker. I always want a Linebacker, though.

James Laurinaitis has retired from the NFL after 8 seasons.

I mention this as his dad is the wrestler Road Warrior Animal, which is pretty cool.

Aaron Hernandez

Apparent suicide in prison

https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/04/19/aaron-hernandez-kills-himself-prison/Hkp9wdGcZImoMBomJLMNVJ/story.html

http://www.necn.com/news/new-england/Aaron-Hernandez-Dead-Suicide-419809764.html

Strange that he killed himself days after being acquitted of a double homicide and saying he was "very happy". Didn't seem like the nicest person ever tbh.

Have Friday off to watch the first round, but off to Blackburn early on Saturday.

Tricky to watch the second day before going to footy.... hmmm...

Who do you think will be the top 5 picks in the Draft then?

I'll go for:-

1) Myles Garrett DE Browns
2) Solomon Thomas DE/DT 49ers
3) Marshon Lattimore CB Bears
4) Leonard Fournette RB Jaguars
5) Titans TRADE! Mitch Trubisky QB Browns

Never did get round to doing my pre-draft research.

The college season completely passed me by this time

Hardly watch any College Football, so all my Draft opinions are from what I've read in Lindy's Draft Guide and online.

Think the 49ers are hoping someone will trade them for the 2nd Pick. That's why they're saying they may take a QB.

That pick has pretty much been universally panned over here and people have come to the conclusion that it was a panic pick from a rudderless ship.

I assumed at the time that we were moving up to get Solomon Thomas, which would have merited the draft picks.

Was gobsmacked when we went for Trubisky.

Assume 49ers said that Browns were going to trade and get him, but I think we were played.

Speaking of 49ers, they got Thomas and Foster, so must be very pleased with themselves.

Garrett, Peppers and Njoku for the Browns, which is interesting. Not 100% sold on Peppers, but he should add to their Special Teams straight away.
