There is a player who has declared for the Draft called Lamarcus Brutus

Another name to look out for in this year's draft class; Jihad Ward.

Titans trade the 1st pick to the Rams

Browns trade the 2nd pick to the Eagles

Well that should be Goff and Wentz off the board anyway....

Neither are really high profile QBs. Even though they're projected to go 1 and 2, they're not even in the top ten of players regardless of position

Yes, I'm quite pleased as it makes it more likely a good player will drop to the 11th pick for Da Bears, especially as we're unlikely to go for a QB in the first round.

Still think we'd need to trade up to get Myles Jack, but I can dream. He may be best suited to a 4-3 Defence anyway.

We don't get a first round pick due to Tom's saggy balls.

Think the Chiefs lose a fairly high draft pick for tampering (when they got Maclin from the Eagles). Possibly 2nd or 3rd round, can't remember now.

Brady's suspension for having soft balls has been reinstated

Brady's suspension for having soft balls has been reinstated

It's not about whether balls were deflated any more, it's about the powers of the Commissioner to be prosecution and judge.

Patriots went to the Championship game again. Brady played like Brady. Pressure was measured in all games. NFL refuse to release data. It's not hard to figure out what's going on

[UK Redsox]

This all stems from the NFL Players' union not having the balls (whether properly inflated or not) to stand up to the NFL when negotiating the present CBA.

US courts like to uphold negotiated agreements, regardless of how stupid one of the parties was

NFL Draft starts tomorrow. I wonder if US tv will give it any coverage

[ADVILLAFAN]

Exciting, only the 4th time ever that the top 2 draft picks have been traded and it doesn't even start until tomorrow night.

Have Friday off work.

Can watch the 1st round on Sky and the 2-3rd rounds on NFL.com I think.

Probably about 30 minute summary after 2 hrs table football and 4 hrs of e-games
