NFL Draft tonight. Well, likely start at about 1am.

And Pittsburgh turned out!

Solid enough pick for Pittsburgh. They were apparently about to select Makai Lemon, when the Eagles traded up.

Yep - some people trying to make a big deal about that like the Steelers got robbed.  They have contingency plans for every pick.....it's by no means a given you are going to get your original target, unless you are the Raiders in this case.

Texans Jags for me, if I can get tickets. Hopefully it doesn't clash with a Villa game clashes with Villa vs Palace.
