Packers have an extra first rounder and some cap space in 2019.
Bills would make a lot of sense though. They've got a tough defence, there's future franchise qb who likes to bomb it. They might want to replace their retiring DT though, and there's load of really solid options available at that end of the draft board.
I don't think the steelers will let him walk. They've lost leveon, Bryant and then brown? That would be really leaning on Conner and juju. Depends if Big Ben decides to give it up I suppose. If he does, they're in rebuild anyway unless mason rudolph is a silent superstar.
UCF are in danger of losing their streak too. About to be down 14 with 20 minutes left.
Thirteen even but a muffed lsu punt reception opens it up again.

Packers need 3 linemen, a tight end, 2 outside linebackers, and a pair of safeties in a massive way before they even think about anything else. I'd be happy enough with Valdez Scantling and St.Brown with another year under them being 2 and 3 after Adams and fill other holes anyway.

Sounds like he didn't actually request a trade, so most of this is probably irrelevant, but if I was the Jets I'd be trying to get them both. Ben will stay as long as he can in spite because the team dared to draft a QB who might replace him, but Bell is gone for sure. They're really not in a good place at the moment though, so they might have to deal with a couple more seasons like this before they can actually get a proper rebuild underway.

Agreed about the WRs - Adams, MVS, ESB, Kumerow & J'Mon Moore is a solid enough set of guys, especially considering it seems to take a year or two for people to get chemistry going with Rodgers. I'd imagine they'll use one of the first rounders on an edge rusher, and the other on a safety or a lineman, depending on who falls.

Sternberger was really good at A&M after transferring in from a small school (or JUCO?) so hope he works out.
Just been reading through a mock draft in cbs (yep, already) and there's a whole raft I've never heard of. Interestingly they had ed Oliver all the way down at thirteen and drew lock going to the broncos. Not buying that. Haskins at six to the giants though I could see...

Packers need to go get Rivera and then let him hire a young hotshot OC. The likes of Daniels won't bring the required attitude change.
Even Williams if the Browns are stupid enough.

I've been reading them for months :D Who were the names you didn't recognise?
Ed seems to be slipping in mocks just because of Quinnen Williams & the number of teams who need other positions more. Drew Lock's going all over the place, but he does kinda seem like a Bronco QB (big arm, athletic white dude with questionable ability as an actual QB, hopefully better than Osweiler & Lynch), although maybe the second round is a better value (then again it's QB so value goes out the window).

In related news, Lincoln Riley has signed a contract extension with Oklahoma.
Decided I'm going to record it and watch it tomorrow instead, as with the Georgia Texas game after. Will be a nice conclusion to annual leave before the doom and fear emerges.
Have we even mentioned the Jags voiding all of Leonard Fournette's guarantees? That's turned out to be a terrible pick. Wonder if he'll end up being traded/cut this offseason.
EDIT: Just about to watch the couple of Josh Jacobs games that have gone up on YouTube the last couple of days, and saw what I'd written down about Saquon - "potential to produce a 2000 all purpose yard season" as a rookie. He had 2028, hire me Oakland :cool:

Have we even mentioned the Jags voiding all of Leonard Fournette's guarantees? That's turned out to be a terrible pick. Wonder if he'll end up being traded/cut this offseason.
He also went and sulked with Yeldon throughout the entire of the last game of the season. Both were seen sat and giving no shits for what went on in the game.
There's also talk of him legally challenging them for the money owed as they are guarantees. That can surely only end in him being shown the door. He's missed 11 games in 2 seasons through injury and suspension. Given they're needing a QB, I'd look to ship him about for one or a decent draft pick to see about picking one up.
I guess you'd probably still get a second for him, but I'm not entirely convinced it wouldn't end up being a third. Why give up an early pick for him when he's had all these issues, and we've seen time & time again you can pretty much plug anyone you like in at RB if you have a good line/scheme - just look at Pittsburgh every time Lev Bell has been out or the Rams the last two weeks with CJ Anderson. Heck, even on the Jags it's not like TJ Yeldon was much of a difference, and Carlos Hyde keeps getting kicked out the door despite being an above average back.
With Foles & Teddy being available this year in free agency I'm not sure there are many great QB trade options, but how do you feel about these options?
1. Fournette & a third rounder for Jameis
2. Fournette & a second for Carr
3. Fournette & a fourth for Tannehill
4. Fournette & a fifth for Jacoby Brissett & a fourth
Man, the Texas offence is just AIDS - chuck it up to the big WRs until you get a third down or hit the redzone, then just run your QB as many times as it takes to get the first down/TD. Works in college though, as proven by Sam Ehlinger's three TDs, none of which were passes, and which all came from about two yards out. The last one came after four consecutive QB runs at the goal-line :cab:
Georgia's offence is AIDS in a completely different way - they try too hard to be classic Alabama & pass the ball about five times in the first half, then when they remember they have a first round QB & some good receivers they cruise up the field. It sounds like they could have given less of a fuck about the game if they'd tried though, so they deserved to get dicked on.

He's going balls deep in trying to back himself on it too.
I mean, he’s kinda right. AB went in the sixth because he was an alright college player who had a shit combine, but character issues probably would’ve had something to do with it too if they were there.
EDIT: AB has even tweeted a draft profile of himself that mentions attitude/character concerns taking him off draft boards.
836357734228426752
It’s LOL to try to pretend he hasn’t completely blown every conceivable expectation anyone has had for him out the water, and if anyone had thought he’d become what he has he’d obviously have been a first rounder, but he went where you’d expect given what teams knew about him at the time.

It's nice to try and be revisionist and all, but 34th all time on receiving yards and 35th for receiving TDs (currently, probably with potential to go top 10 in both) probably says the scouts didn't know what they were doing more than an apparent hissy fit 8 years down the line says they did.
If Pittsburgh thought there was any chance AB was going to become an all-time great WR they would’ve taken him earlier than round six. This isn’t scouts being clueless, this is AB working his arse off & improvising every aspect of his game to a degree that’s almost unheard of.
The guy’s an idiot for trying to say a couple of arguments proves he went in the right spot, because he’s basically saying everyone knew he’s be what he’s become & the only reason he fell was because he threw a few strops.
He went in the sixth 90% because nobody thought he was very good, and 10% because people thought he might be a dick, not the other way round.
Everyone knew Manziel was going to be trouble off the field, and yet he still went in the first because teams don’t give a fuck if you’re difficult if they also think you’re amazing at football. Meanwhile, there are loads of outstanding professionals who go undrafted every year because teams don’t care how great you are as a person if you’re also shit at football.
Evaluating AB then is like looking at Antonio Callaway in college. If he becomes a superstar everyone will say he should have gone round one, and it’s entirely possible he does, but I don’t hear anyone saying that now given what we know at this moment.
It’s why scouting is so hard. You can only make your best guess based on the information available to you at the time - tape, testing & interviews - and you pretty much have to accept you’re going to be wrong twice as often as you’re right.
More declarations for the draft, including:
- Five Penn State guys, the most notable being Miles Sanders (RB), Connor McGovern (C) & Shareef Miller (EDGE)
- Dawson Knox (TE, Ole Miss) - that's the QB, three starting WRs, TE & LT all gone.
- Vosean Joseph (LB, Florida)
- Darius Slayton (WR, Auburn)
- Joe Jackson (EDGE, Miami)
- Taylor Rapp (S, Washington)
- Both David Long's (West Virginia LB & Michigan CB)
Also a few names confirmed to be going back to school:
- Tyler Biadasz (C, Wisconsin). Look for him to be a high first rounder next season - he's a stud already as a redshirt sophomore.
- Collin Johnson (WR, Texas)
- All three starting linebackers for Miami (Shaq Quarterman, Michael Pinckney & Zach McCloud)
Deadline for underclassmen to declare is 14th Jan, I believe, so ten days until we have the final list of draftable players :drool:

I'm not too sure where we'll go via the draft.
I'd assume some more O-line help (Yanda, Stanley and Brown are great, the rest meh), CB (Carr is 33 and Jimmy is 31), Safety (Jefferson hasn't performed, Weddle is getting on) and I guess WR (like we'll be fucking throwing) are the obvious holes.
Do we draft a RB? Before Gus broke out I'd say no but he and Dixon are doing so well. Perhaps an edge rusher due to Suggs age.
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/contracts/
Just seen our contacts actually. Suggs apparently wants to stay (he deserves to) and depending on what the contract types are I can only see us keeping Za'Darius Smith, Pierce, Onwuasor, Gus and possibly Urban along with Eluemenor or Skura.
So a MLB would also be on the cards as I can't see us working a deal with Mosley.

Collin Johnson looks pretty nifty So happy he's going back. Sam ehlinger seems to be warming into the tebow bulldozing role but can actually throw it too.

Yeah, Ehlinger is a stud college QB who would probably go on day three in the draft - Trace McSorley will be that guy this year.
Not watched All or Nothing as I don’t have prime, but should probably look into it. Chase Winovich is the character guy from there, but I seem to remember hearing Gary comes over well from it, even if the show itself is a bit meh.

I'm a little surprised that Littleton wasn't in the first team. He blocked a couple of punts and I think he got a special teams TD.
Hang on, Saquon didn't get in either team? Was Zeke really better than him this season (honest question, don't think I've seen much of Dallas all year)? Also, how come Tyreek gets to be first team flex AND second team WR? Surely you could boot him out of a flex spot for Saquon. Same for Derwin James, actually.
Michael Dickson first team all pro punter as a rookie :cool: Braden Mann could be the next stud in 2020, if anyone's looking for punters of the future.

Dude missed one kick all year, and it was a 52 yarder just after he came back from a quad injury.

3 fumbles in the opening 8 snaps for the Ravens, but it's still only 6-0. Not the worst outcome all things considered.

Interesting to hear that Badgely was struggling with the wind at the other end of the pitch, could be key in the second half.
Sir Andy Mahowry

Are you alright Mahow?
Ravens shitting it?
Aldrick Rosas would've got off that block & made the tackle.
What a shit field goal :D
Sir Andy Mahowry
06-01-2019, 07:45 PM
That might be the shot in the arm that we needed.
Great block by Za'Darius.
Sir Andy Mahowry
06-01-2019, 07:46 PM
What a shit field goal :D
It was blocked.
Sir Andy Mahowry
06-01-2019, 07:47 PM
Had that gone in, I'd have turned to Flacco.
As it is we might as well give Jackson one more possession.
Chargers have done well in shutting down the run game and Lamar looks so fucking nervous when passing right now that it's not great. The blocked field goal might lift him though.
This Chargers offence is looking super conservative. It's like they're trying to lose. Standard Chargers.
The kick was still shit though despite the block.
Jackson getting sacks I see :sherlock:
Sir Andy Mahowry
06-01-2019, 07:50 PM
Hurst gives up two sacks in a row.
Cock.
I mean, Ingram destroyed him on the second one, but that's more a good move. The first one was less good.
Sir Andy Mahowry
06-01-2019, 07:55 PM
Yeah, you'd struggle to find a guard that could deal with that Ingram move.
He got absolutely bullied for the first one, he can't let someone push him back that easily.
Anyway, I think Flacco should come in now.
Sir Andy Mahowry
06-01-2019, 07:55 PM

Sir Andy Mahowry
06-01-2019, 08:10 PM
I honestly don't know why we didn't go for that.
Yeah you'd expect Tucker to make that and would only have us down by 6 but it was a 4th and 1 in Chargers territory. I'm sure we could have gotten it and could have led to a TD.
Justin Tucker definitely a number one fantasy draft pick Mahow :chief:
Fucking hell, the Chargers look to have been inspired by the Seahawks' offensive playcalling yesterday. It's excruciatingly passive.
EDIT: Look at that, they actually try to move the ball more than two yards & they start getting some success!

Had we not gotten the 2 points we'd have been down by 14, by taking the point we were down by 13, had we converted it would have been 12.
13 and 12 are basically the same in NFL terms, 14 would mean 2 TD's would be just a draw.

Jackson is so bad. They really need to draft a QB and use him to return punts or something.
That game was way closer in the score line than it should have been.
Chargers just kind of gave up in the 4th. That Lamar completion where he lofted it up was wild, Darwin James really should've picked that, just seemed to jump really early.
Flacco sitting there ignoring Lamar the entire game (and season?) was great.

Wiki updated and all. I remember watching him play in college :(
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_LaFleur
EDIT: Actually no, I'm thinking of Matt Mauck.
.
Interesting. He's moved up pretty quickly, but I guess that's what happens when you can put Sean McVay & Kyle Shanahan on your references at a time when everyone's trying to get the next Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan.
On the other side of things, Mariota's going to have had four different OCs before the end of his rookie deal. No wonder he's barely developed.
And of course I've been trying not to fall asleep for the last hour, having failed to nap earlier :moop: 11pm coffee has failed, so I guess it's time to get on the sugar.
God, I fucking hate anthem time.
Oh shit :drool: :drool: :drool:
This could be a cracker going by the first three minutes. I was just about to say Clemson's offence has looked iffy so far, then they get a big chunk & convert on the next play. 21pts in less than five game minutes :cab:
Okay, so here are all the potential top 50 selections playing in this game.
2019
Quinnen Williams, DT
Raekwon Davis, DT
Joshua Jacobs, RB
Damien Harris, RB
Irv Smith, TE
Deionte Thompson, S
Jonah Williams, LT
Christian Wilkins, DT
Clelin Ferrell, EDGE
Trayvon Mullen, CB
2020
Tua Tagovailoa, QB
Najee Harris, RB
Mack Wilson, LB
Jerry Jeudy, WR
Dylan Moses, LB
Devonta Smith, WR
Henry Ruggs, WR
Tee Higgins, WR
Travis Etienne, RB
Isaiah Simmons, S
2021
Jaylen Waddle, WR
Patrick Surtain, CB
Trevor Lawrence, QB
Justyn Ross, WR
Xavier Thomas, EDGE
And that's a fairly conservative list.
Josh Jacobs is a stud - bangs ahead for a short fourth down conversion from the wildcat twice, then jukes a defender out of his shoes a few plays after the second one.
1082462538728640512
Shame Tua chucked one up to Trayvon Mullen afterwards, mind.
EDIT: Anfernee Jennings is the new JJ Swat. Two batted passes already, and I think they said earlier he has 11 this season :cab:
Look at this. What scenes :drool: You know 'bama are going to come out pissed in the second half though.
And still more scenes before the half:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwWxt6aX4AAwiGU.jpg
Matt Miller will be wanking himself silly over Trayvon Mullen having a pick & a sack already.
Look at Trevor Lawrence's arm - slung that miles out of bounds & barely looked to try. He's just strolling his way through this game as well.
What a compelling first half of football that was. And now, Imagine Dragons sound like shit featuring Little Wayne, who also sounds like shit, and is dressed like this.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwW3-uEX4AE61NK.jpg:large
I'd have rather had an entire show consisting of 'different' renditions of Star Spangled Banner.
I stuck this school sports day on about ten minutes ago and immediately I've got Dabo fucking Swinney on my screen being full of shit.
I watched the 'Hawaii Bowl' a couple of weeks ago, in which an edge rusher named Jaylon Ferguson broke Terrell Suggs' college sack record and generally looked very good throughout. I looked him up afterwards and several draft predictor chappies were saying he'll be lucky to get drafted at all, and doesn't have what it takes to be an NFL player. That seems mad.
I know the college and pro games aren't the same, but surely someone breaking records in one is at least worth a serious look in the other?
He'll get drafted, but probably on day three. He plays in Conference USA, which is trash, as you can see by their schedule (https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/jaylon-ferguson-1/gamelog/2018/), so that's probably made it easy for people to doubt him. He's been consistently productive all four seasons though, and got 2 sacks against the only good team he played all season (Mississippi State) so someone will give him a shot. I'd imagine he'll be on the all star circuit too (can't remember if he's at the Senior Bowl or not), which will help him.
I've been watching Daniel Jones, the Duke QB who some people have talked up as a first rounder, and I just don't see it. He's got some size, he can run a bit, and he's done some pro-type stuff, but his arm isn't anything special, he puts too much air under the ball a lot of the time, he's not that great under pressure & he has Alex Smith Syndrome - I saw him throw a 1yd drag route on a 3rd & 9 against Miami & he still didn't hit the receiver in stride. He's okay, but I'm not sure he's going to be anything special - probably in the Keenum, Dalton, Smith tier. I'd say third round seems fair.
EDIT: That fake FG from 'bama :harold:
OOOOHHH SHIIIIIIIITTTT :alan: Justyn Ross just killed Saivion Smith, and Deionte Thompson has not been having his finest game today.
I know nothing about the organisation of the college game, other than that the players don't get paid which is a shambles, so I take less than nothing from that link.
He beat up on guys who will be working at Burger King next summer, basically. If you take out Mississippi State there are probably 10 NFL players on all the other teams they played combined. The level of dominance he had will get him a look, though, especially if he has a good run to the draft.
Justyn Ross is going to be a stud in a year or two. I bloody love Hunter Renfrow as well.
Mitch Hyatt, on the other hand, fucking sucks. That sack he just gave up with embarrassing.
Three calls reversed in favour of Clemson now :D
Scratch that, he's already a stud.
1082481577077211137
EDIT: And I may have cursed him :D
Nope, still a beast.
1082487519797788677
1082486999251144706
We have two more years of Lawrence throwing to Ross :uhoh:
This is just unreal. Have we ever seen Alabama get completely crushed before?

So he's essentially compiled a good goalscoring record over a few years in League Two but those draft guys are correct not to be telling Harry Kane to watch his arse?
For future reference, and I said this earlier in the thread, I'm a Browns man. From my limited draft prospect awareness I want them to take N'Keal Harry in the first, but beyond that I know fuck all.
Yeah, that's about right :D
I have family in Cleveland, so they're my second team. I like N'Keal Harry, and I think I've seen that pick suggested once or twice, actually. They could use an offensive tackle & a cornerback as well. CB is probably the position with the least talent this year, but O-line is solid & WR is really deep, so they can probably go about it in any order depending on who falls to them in the first round.
This is just an all time great performance from Clemson.
EDIT: Bama have given up & sent Jalen Hurts in. They've been dominated so much that NICK SABAN has waved the white flag.
This is my first year being interested in the sport, beyond the hilarious names it throws up and the occasional YouTube clip of some outrageous athleticism.
I picked the Browns before the season because they'd been the worst two years running. I reckon if you're getting into a new sport and want or need to pick a team, you should always take the team at the bottom of the pile.
As it turns out, though, I've taken a team with serious promise.
Yeah, if you'd got in two years earlier the Browns probably would've been bad enough to put you off the NFL altogether.
Nah, I got interested in the sport thanks to a mate, so I was already on board with the sport as a whole before I picked my team.
As it turns out, I've chosen the team with the second brightest future in the league, with only the Chiefs and that mad prick they've plonked in at QB as a more obviously promising side. Baker, Njoku, Garrett, and Ward all look like they have the potential to be number one players in their positions.
Clemson were so fucking good there. Recorded it and watched it today and my god that was satisfying.
Trevor Lawrence and justyn Ross have two more years together. Two more years.
The clemson defence just donned it. Bama just gave up. What a great sight.
Also, I bloody love Maria Taylor. :wub:

If you dominate and have he physique you can make it big though. Look at ali marpet coming from division 3 and being a second round pick by the bucs.
Need to properly stand out though, because if you're that talented, you should do.
Yeah, you get one or two a year from the tiny schools. Nasir Adderley, a safety from Delaware, is another one to look out for this year - he's got a growing number of draft guys tipping him as a serious player, and I've seen him projected as a first rounder more than once.
Sounds like we're getting Bruce Arians to the Bucs & Kliff Kingsbury to the Cardinals. Both should be good moves for their offences. Meanwhile, the Broncos are picking between Vic Fangio & Mike Munchak.

Fired as head coach of Texas Tech, quickly gets a job as offensive co-ordinator at USC & leaves within a few weeks to be head coach of an NFL team. The well trodden path to the NFL.
Yeah, spotted he was at USC and thought it was a really odd move. This ones even weirder, but hey ho. Maybe they want him to mould Rosen into a mahomes he had at texas tech.
You mean the Mahomes he couldn't win with? Also had Baker & chose Davis Webb instead, so 'good judge of talent' might not be the first line of his resume.
Still, he should scheme up something interesting for Josh Rosen & whatever the fuck else they manage to scrape together to make an offence,
It's Arizona. They don't win anyway.
Might as well try the air raid. Remember that machines vs baker battle that lasted hours... ?
I like that Mahomes got autocorrected to machines there.
Bucs had to trade Arizona for Bruce Arians as they still owned his rights :D Sixth for a seventh, so nothing actually significant, but still. They’ve also got Byron Leftwich & Todd Bowles in as co-ordinators to continue the reunion.
Falcons have given Dirk Koetter their OC role. Kingsbury has been confirmed in Arizona, and apparently the Browns are down to Freddie Kitchens & Vikings OC Kevin Stefanski.
EDIT: It's Kitchens in Cleveland, who've got rid of Gregg Williams, & Fangio in Denver, who have hired Gary Kubiak as OC. Also talk that Todd Bowles hasn't actually finalised a deal with Tampa Bay, and is in talks to take over as the DC in Chicago.
Tre Lamar, Dexter Lawrence & Trayvon Mullen have all declared from Clemson, as has Oklahoma OT Bobby Evans. I did wonder if the suspension would be enough for Dexter to go back to school, but he should still be fine.
I've been watching Daniel Jones recently & I've come to two conclusions:
Dude is not a first round QB - his accuracy isn't spectacular, his arm's nothing special, he throws short of the sticks on third down all the time & he's the least athletic 'mobile' QB you can imagine.
Motherfucker has THE WORST receivers I have ever seen - must be ten catchable passes dropped every game. He's not putting them all in perfect spots, but NFL guys would be expected to catch them all. TE Daniel Helm is the only guy with two functioning hands on the entire team.

Gase to NY. McCarthy must be sickened.
Vance Joseph & Dowell Loggains likely to be the co-ordinators
It’s becoming a serious possibility that Kyler Murray is going to declare :drool:

The Baylor guy apparently turned them down as he wouldn't have been allowed pick his own staff.

This Murray lad sounds like a complete fuck about merchant. Could you really risk a first overall pick in him (like Kingsbury said he would), or any high pick, when he could easily fuck off to baseball anyway?
Really he'd be 'fucking off' to the NFL. He's already been drafted in baseball, and he's already received a five million signing bonus. It's an interesting situation. If he does go to the NFL the baseball team that drafted him with the ninth overall pick get nothing.

He sounds like someone that'll fuck off to both football and baseball about twenty times over the next six months.
The comparison for him is Russell Wilson. He actually played in a baseball game last year for the Yankees.

Brandon Mebane's daughter has died.
"She passed away Jan. 3," Mebane told reporters, per the Chargers' website. "She wasn't getting better so we had to make a decision. She kept having bleeds from the stomach, and then when they tried to feed her, it wasn't good for her liver."
:(
Well that sucks :(
In lighter news, Alabama DT Raekwon Davis has, surprisingly, decided to go back to college.

We've removed Mornhinweg as OC, Greg Roman has taken his spot.
Well that sucks :(

Deionte Thompson going back as well. Quinnen Williams is gone though, as are Jonah Williams, Irv Smith Jr & Josh Jacobs :drool:
Still waiting on official Kyler news, but at this point they should probably be calling a press conference for an hour before the deadline to declare.
Ohio State QB Tate Martell is looking to transfer now they’ve picked up Justin Fields. He & Jalen Hurts are probably the two most interesting guys up for grabs.
