    I expect a MLB to sign with us soon, as well as some interior OL guys.

    YUP. He's not a dynamic athlete, but he's a good receiver & he'll dominate the run game - his coach at WVU called him their sixth offensive lineman.

    Sounds like you've signed Greg Dortch as well, who's a tiny WR that will probably just be a kick returner, but he could be a pretty good one.

    That's a great pickup.

    So that was meant to be a Titans draft pick then?

    If so then that's a fucking steal from the Jets.

    UDFA WR updates:

    - Preston Williams to Miami. The next Davante Parker
    - Penny Hart to the Colts
    - Falcons get Olamide Zacchaeus
    - Bills sign Nick Easley
    - Texans get Johnnie Dixon

    All of these guys have a shot.

    YAAAAS

    EDIT: We've also picked up Carl Granderson (EDGE, recently accused of sexual assault, not sure what's happening with that)

    James Williams signing with the Chiefs is terrifying. Their UDFA class is pretty strong so far,

    Browns with a couple of nice pickups in Wyatt Ray & Darrin Hall.
    Jags getting Joe Giles-Harris & Saivion Smith

    He & Dakota Allen are two of the most likeable players that have been on the show, so it's good to see them both getting their shot.

    Bears have picked up Notre Dame OL Alex Bars If he's healthy he could be a steal. Sounds like they got his teammate Sam Mustipher too.

    I saw some mock drafts which had the Ravens taking Lil'Jordan in the third or fourth just last week so that's a great pick up.

    Listening to the Raiders presser & Mike Mayock has come across brilliantly. Definitely reasons to be optimistic for the future if you're a Raiders fan.

    They've also picked up Te'Von Coney now, apparently.

    EDIT: The long snapper I'd heard of, Dan Godsil, has gone to the Bucs.

    Nah, I'm not convinced any of the guys next year are that much better than the guys we've had recently, and there are 4-5 of them again next year.



    This was inevitable. I'd have called it if I hadn't completely forgotten he existed because he's so shit.

    I'd put the initial tiers like this:

    Day 1 - Tua, Herbert, Fromm & Jacob Eason
    Day 2 - Jordan Love, KJ Costello, Jalen Hurts (can't rule it out given the last two years) & Joe Burrow
    Day 3/UFDA - Nate Stanley, Brian Lewerke, Shea Patterson, Jake Bentley, Felipe Franks, Sam Ehlinger, Kelly Bryant, Steven Montez, Branden Wimbush & Deondre Francois

    Deondre Francois is interesting because he's been basically just mauled his entire college career because of Florida states lack of talent. Difficult to work out how good he really is when he's getting sacked or running for his life.

    Joe burrows is a good one as he's helped make lsu relevant again in the sec. looks very composed.

    Can’t remember for sure, but I think Francois basically torpedoed his career this year & almost declared because he knew he’d fucked FSU off too much, but then also realised he was shit & wouldn’t get drafted, so he’ll probably transfer.

    Think he’s the dude who there were rumours going round about saying he’s been selling weed on campus.

    He’s got no chance, is what I’m trying to say.

    EDIT: Yep, FSU kicked him off the team in February for alleged domestic violence against his pregnant girlfriend

    New York Giants sixth-round pick Corey Ballentine was injured and a former teammate was killed in an off-campus shooting in Topeka, Kan., early Sunday morning, according to Washburn University.

    The school confirmed that Washburn junior defensive back Dwane Simmons, 23, was killed in the shooting. Ballentine is expected to make a full recovery, the school said.

    NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport added, per a source, that Ballentine's gunshot wound is "not life-threatening" and doctors say his recovery will take "a matter of weeks."

    Well played.

    Also this is annoying:



    He's got a legit chance at starting for them too, so that's a phenomenal signing on their part.

    Daniel jones seems to be getting a whole lot of stick having never thrown a pass in the NFL. Remember that dak was a fourth rounder and Russell Wilson a third whilst Paxton lynch was seen as a good pick in round 1. Until you get out there and try and run the system you really shouldn't be getting hammered. Jones was a legit first round talent to a lot of teams. The Giants taking him at 6 is a shock, but it's not worthy of the ire they've received.

    Just got to hope the kid is as level headed as he seems and just ignores it.

    Yeah, I think a lot of people just feel bad for him at this point. He’s perfectly fine as a QB, (not 6 overall good, but basically as good as Drew Lock who people would have been fine with at 10), it’s just an excuse to keep shitting on Dave Gettleman & the ‘he was coached by the same guy as the Mannings’ narrative.

    He probably won’t be a star, but he’s got a very good shot at being an Andy Dalton type guy who just keeps things steadily ticking over for a decade.

    He’s also a great punter

    They have to have seen something they liked to have taken him there.

    I think the bigger issue is their fans think they could have got Allen at #6 and then still caught Jones/Haskins at #17. Which is correct with hindsight but that's always 20/20.

    Jones was always going to be there at 17.

    They obviously shat themselves because the Redskins were probably talking up Daniel Jones but they always had Haskins above him.

    They seem to think there were two teams that would have taken him before 17, and to be honest if they really believe he’s their franchise guy they should probably have traded up even higher to get him because QB.

    Most draft gradings, for qhat little they're worth at this point in time, agree with Dan that Denver had a good one.

    Other than USA today who seemed to write Lock off as a bad pick because Lynch didn't prove to be up to much which means Elway will never select a good QB.

    Great logic, that.

    I’ve just remembered you paid Jawuan(?) James this summer so part of me wonders if Risner was drafted to be the new center.

    Not sure how much you’ll get from Hollins & Winfree beyond depth, but the other picks are all very good & if those two hit as well it’s great. A few nice UDFA pickups too in Joe Dineen (LB), Brett Rypien (QB) & Malik Reed (EDGE).

    From what I've read Broncos/Redskins/Miami were going to take him before 17. In a way it makes more sense now then it did day of, I was also reading that Daniel Jones was 1. Playing with a lingering injury for much of the 2nd half of the season, but then played incredible in Duke's bowl game / the Senior bowl (reflecting his true potential); 2. He had like 40+ dropped passes which skewed his production numbers, so that they are fairly misleading on their face.

    The team around him was trash for sure, but if people are judging him off his box scores they’re doing it wrong.

    I can’t imagine Denver taking him (apparently they had Lock as their top QB, but if that’s true Elway has monster balls for not just taking him at 10), and I’m not sure Miami would either when Rosen was still available for much less outlay, but Washington could have been an option & I guess there’s always a chance Cincy would have been interested or someone like the Patriots could have traded up.

    Sounds like the Ravens have picked up Antoine Wesley as a UDFA. Great pickup to round out a rookie WR group with stupid upside.
