Top 15. Not sure I can see both Miami AND Washington passing on him unless he really shits the bed in the interviews.

And we've already seen how good he is with the words.
You've got to assume he's been assured a first round by at least one team so that he can pay back Oakland out of his signing bonus. There's no chance they'd accept losing out on their first round player and getting the money back in installments. It's going to be genuinely hilarious the first time a properly brutal rusher gets their hands on him. Donald could probably land him in the seventh row of seating.
Anfernee Jennings sacked him with one hand while still being blocked in the Alabama game, so putting on the ground seems easy enough. Getting hands on him is the hard part.
Apparently he’s getting up to 200lbs though. Maybe he should work out with DK Metcalf.
Right now I’d rank his landing spots as:
Miami
Washington
Jacksonville
Oakland
Denver
Arizona
NYG
Cincinnati
Jacksonville will go below Oakland if they sign Foles or Bridgewater, and I refuse to believe the Cardinals talk until it happens.
I see Miami pulling the trigger.
Not at all related but those NBA jerseys look fucking insane. Shame they are 20 years off (allegedly).
Apparently Kapernick got $60-80m.
AAF kicking off at 7 with Birmingham Iron against Salt Lake Stallions - should be able to watch on their website.
The camera work hurts my brain.
I've only been half watching so far but this seems like a pretty not good game.
I didn't watch the rest of the games from last night, but going by the highlights I didn't miss much in the Birmingham game. Just watching the ARI/MEM highlights & I've gotta say I've been impressed by Zac Stacy in both games.
Rashad Ross deserves a look too:
Some of the hits Hackenberg took were ejections in the NFL though
There was also this really nice run:

We’ve lost one of the potential challengers for the 40 record at the combine - Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown has had surgery on a lisfranc injury & will miss the combine & his pro day.
He’ll still be a second round pick, to be fair.
Steelers to shift out Brown and bring in Brown?
I've seen it mentioned - he's AB's cousin as well
Mr Big Chest
He must be getting the same advice as Kyler was.
"Mr Big Chest"? What the fuck?
Fucking hell. It's a shame AB is so talented, because he really is a complete and utter prune.
Seems like it’s actually going to happen (until they see the offers & decide to give him the Bell treatment instead)
Cardinals have signed Charles Clay too.
I'm really interested to see where he could go. If he just wants money then it's not worth talking about, but in terms of turning a team into SuperBowl challengers it's intriguing.
The top paid WR from last season was Mike Evans for $18.2m of cap space. You'd imagine Brown will command $19-20m. Looking at Over The Cap, there's a few teams with over $20m free in cap space(I know it's not that simple).
The Packers, but they do have a good WR corps already. Their defence is much more a pressing need.
Titans, they'll have Walker back and have Davis but nothing really after that.
Cowboys. Still need help at WR but just paid out big for Cooper, though not a great deal wrong with the rest of the team.
49ers. With Jimmy G they're a completely different team and pairing him with the counter punch of Kittle would be great. There's not another WR that really stands out as must keep from them either.
Seahawks would be a bit from left field, but they're a good young team with a superbowl winning formula being built into them. Adding a big weapon like Brown would give them another big push. Although they'd probably be more likely to take Hollywood Brown under their current model.
Colts. Luck is amazing without great weapons and Frank Reich will get everything from him. They probably need more help with defence, but do have the most cap space in the league with over $100m. They could afford to do both.
49ers is the one, I think.
He won't go to the 49ers. I reckon he'd rather spend a season doing a Bell, even at this stage of his career, than spend it finishing nowhere.
I could see the Raiders trading for him, maybe trumping everyone by offering one of their nineteen first round picks, but if he goes for a second it'll be to either the Packers on a 'win now' push accompanied by a load of defensive FA signings, or the Eagles, with a coach desperately keen to justify letting Foles go and putting their future on Wentz.
I'd love him at the Eagles but we've the 2nd lowest spare cap space in the league and Wentz is coming into a 'put your money where your mouth is' kind of year.
I've heard rumblings of us going in for him (and Bell) but I don't see it at all.
We don't really have enough draft capital to trade for him and even after freeing Flacco we'd need to do a lot of cap movement to get him in.
I'm hoping we could find a MLB or OL after cuts. I've heard that Osemele could be a cap casualty/Raiders open to trading him and I'd go all out for him. We'd still be lacking at centre but Stanley - Osemele - A Body - Yanda - Brown Jr would be a mean O-Line.
Steelers have confirmed they wont tag or use the transition tag on Bell.
While we're talking RBs...He isn't my top back in the draft class, but you know who's fun? Devin Singletary.
Guy has a great feel for space & how defenders are going to move within it, and he does the peak Shady thing of having an unblocked defender two yards from him as he takes the handoff, but the defender ends up on the floor having not even touched him while he breaks off a 20yd run. I'd wager his highlight tape is the best in the entire class.
Here it is, actually:
Not exactly the greatest competition playing for FAU, but I think he had something dumb like 68 TDs in 38 games

So, I’ve heard two insane things today:
This...
And this...
I've watched TJ Hockenson, Noah Fant & Amani Oruwariye recently, so let me tell you this:
If you want to see a spectacular display of terrible quarterbacking, go watch Nate Stanley throw every pass five yards off his receiver in the Iowa/Penn State game. I've watched that game three times this week & it never gets better.
https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news...ract-extension
We've given Tavon Young a new contract. The best nickel corner in the league right now.
Apparently Jon Gruden is VERY high on Kyler Murray.
If he's actually thinking of taking him at 4 (or even in the top 10 by trading down) he should be fired on the spot.
If Oakland want him they’ll probably trade up to 1. I’m sure Arizona would be willing to move, and if they stick at 4 someone will trade in front of them for him
I bet Gronk was involved too.
Woodrum's on @Sir Andy Mahowry
Hackenberg
Not even five minutes played & this already looks like a slaughter.
Crabtree has been cut.
Oh and here are the compensatory picks this year:
As a John Brown owner I'm thrilled that the release of Crabtree all but guarantees him 2 targets per game.
2 is being kind, especially when we draft a WR in the third round.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...&sf208503408=1
Randy Gregory suspended again, this time indefinitely.
Bengals are trying to trade John Ross.
The only way they're getting something higher than a fourth rounder is if the ghost of Al Davis picks up the phone.
Johnny Football can't even stick it in the Canadian league:
"We are disappointed by this turn of events. Johnny was provided a great deal of support by our organization, in collaboration with the CFL, but he has been unable to abide by the terms of his agreement," Alouettes general manager Kavis Reed offered in a statement. "We worked with the league and presented alternatives to Johnny, who was unwilling to proceed."
The league have said that they wont let any other team sign him too
He must have done something to really piss them off.
That big feature that SI did on him probably a few years ago now suggests that any talent he may have is just outweighed by him being broken in the head.
Err...Jason Witten is unretiring & going back to Dallas???
That's him and Mayock off the telly
Any chance someone needs Pat McAfee to punt for a few years?
Kyler's been measured:
Also gotta get the obligatory DK tweet in:
He also had the biggest wingspan of any WR ever until Hakeem Butler came along shortly after & was even longer.
Witten getting out of the commentary game is great. Just need Al Michaels and Collinsworth to fuck.
Bunch of freaks in this WR class
I do love a bit of middle aged man love.
