    In much less interesting news. The Browns are signing RG3.

    I'm not sure if that's good news or bad news.

    They might not take a QB now which could hurt our chances of taking DeForest Buckner who I think makes the most sense. Ramsey will be gone, as will Tunsil and I feel the others just aren't that great. Bosa looks like he could easily be out of the league fairly sharpish and Stanley seems like a reach for 6th.

    Plus a front three of Jernigan, Williams and Buckner would be incredible.

    He could potentially be gone if the Browns don't take a QB.

    It does throw the cat among the pigeons.

    The Browns taking QB at 2 was the only thing that was really a lock. Now, beyond Tunsil going to the Titans anything could happen in that top 10.

    It does however mean we could have got one of Goff/Wentz. I wonder if we'll be tempted even with Bradford and Daniel.

    To be honest, the latest rumours I've heard is that the Titans will be picking Ramsey at number 1.

    Apparently their ultimate goal was to try and trade down so they could select Ramsey a couple of picks later but the hype train around him is rolling so much and there are no real trading partners that they feel that they can't trade down and will be happy to pick him first.

    Might be bullshit but the guy who has circulated the rumour is usually right.

    After Locker flamed out because of shit offensive line play and Mariota looking even more susceptible it'd be madness not to start at least building some kind of line around him. Mariota took a pasting last year too, so the talent they currently have clearly isn't good enough (ranked 26th of 32).

    It's also pretty rare for a DB to be taken that high.

    They did pick Lewan high last year.

    They've also upgraded their center and there are still a lot of good guards knocking around in free agency.

    Plus there's always talent later on.

    The best rookie lineman last year was probably Collins who went undrafted because of his issues off the field.

    They have a quality young QB there who was getting a beating because of his O-line. I can't believe they wouldn't invest a top pick into helping him out.

    While there are great CBs in this year, I think they'd be daft not to protect their earlier investment.

    This all will give the Cowboys a decision to make though. Assuming the Browns don't take a QB at 2 anyway.

    That was 2014 but yeah. To be fair the Titans could draft anyone really, their team is so non-descript that anything other than QB would probably be a good move. I don't think I could name less players on any other team than the Titans.

    A couple of people from work are already starting to think about their fantasy draft strategy for the coming season.

    While I don't know how it will go. I can almost guarantee it wont have a QB going pick #1 and #2 again. I'm also certain a kicker wont go first round again either.

    It's too early even for me, but I did notice that NFL.com had a "It's never too early for fantasy" advert up the other day.

    It was prompted by that very ad.

    People sound like having varying strategy this time instead of oh yeah, I'll copy the guy that's played before. Even still if Gurley isn't gone at #1 I'll be very surprised.

    I think Bell will end up being the consensus number 1 if he can prove his fitness.

    All I know is despite being in a 2 QB league I'll be neglecting the position entirely given that Smith and Fitzpatrick won me a title that Manning and Romo conspired to deny me.

    The only QB I could really see going early is Cam in our league.

    The guy running the league is planning on dropping the option to play QB at flex next season, so it should get more interesting in later rounds. People ended up with 4/5 QBs in their squad at points last season just because they could and it got a little irritating.

    I have Gurley at #1 because I think some of the guys have bought into his big hype.

    Is the TTH league still happening?

    If so are we using Fox or Fleaflicker?

    I'm most used to the Fox one and will host one if wanted, but there's no point in doing so until closer to August.

    As it stands I know of about 5 of us who'd join in so we'd need to get that up to at least 8 really. If we could manage double figures it'd be great.

    Jared Cook has signed. Playing wise, he could be a massive difference but he's such a rotten element to have around a team. Big risk.

    Talked some more with the league commissioner yesterday. He's dropping the QB at flex option for next year. Which should in theory make one or two tempted to pick up a QB early. I don't think we'll see Rodgers and Wilson go 1 and 2 overall again though. He's also going to put a fee on every successful waiver/FA claim. Only £1, but it all goes back into prize money.

    I've started laying the seeds of deception now. My late season wins came a few times at the hands of the Barn Yard Dog, so I've started telling people no matter what number I get, he's my first round pick.

    On my way to the title last year I made 107 moves (most in the league) and the other 7 combined totaled 409. Would have been a nice pay day but if I had lost.....

    No, no way I could live with £1 a move.

    I've just added up our league. For £1 per waiver, we would have got another £279 of money into the pot. With me putting £34 of that in. Funnily enough the 4 guys who made the most waiver claims were the 4 semi-finalists.

    The Eagles have had Goff in for a private workout and are due to have Wentz in on Wednesday.

    You'd have to imagine both would be gone by pick #8, but it's interesting to see us still looking at QBs.

    We've got Paxton Lynch visiting on Thursday too. Our owner to be present at all these visits. Looks like we're serious.

    McCown and Sanchez. What a fall that's been.

    They'll be "looking at" everybody who's available. If Fitzpatrick isn't going to cost much I'd go for him. Failing that Sanchez under orders to not try and perform heroics and drafting a QB would be my preference.

    Well at least he is trying hard for his second chance. Will be interesting if we do actually sign him (we have an unofficial agreement with him, I'm guessing it involves him passing various physical tests) and how he performs.

    He's weighing in less now than when he was drafted. I hope he gets another chance because he seems like he's worked hard at it.

    I'd like to see him do well. A few interviews I've seen seem to suggest he has his head screwed on finally.

    There's talk that a German might well be drafted.



    Teams are apparently wanking themselves into a coma as he is 6 foot 4 and can run 40 yards in 4.39 seconds and can jump vertically 37 inches. No word on how big his hands are though which is surely going to make or break his chances.

    The defending on show in the video is fucking amazingly shit but he can run fast and jump high.

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...49-million-gap

    Less than $5 million in salary is now all that stands in the way of Colin Kaepernick heading to the Denver Broncos, according to a new report.


    ESPN reported Sunday that the Broncos and San Francisco 49ers have "the parameters of an agreement in principle" on a long-awaited trade involving the veteran quarterback.

    What's the holdup? A source told ESPN that the two sides must still agree on who will pay the $11.9 million in 2016 salary that became guaranteed on Friday. The Broncos have agreed to pay $7 million of Kaepernick's salary, and are pushing for the 49ers to pay for the entire 2016 figure, according to a source.

    The 49ers are not willing to do that at this time and Kaepernick has not been open to taking a paycut to wipe out the balance.

    NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport previously reported that Denver had asked Kaepernick to reduce his salary to be in line with what other backup/starter hybrids are at -- the $7 million mark. That's what Chase Daniel makes per year for Philly and nearly what Robert Griffin III makes in Cleveland (2 years, $15 million).



    Make it fucking happen.

    They make it sound like $5m is nothing. Even within the context of the NFL, that's still almost 50% of the guys salary.

    They'd be much better waiting for the draft and taking Paxton Lynch.

    Put up with Sanchez for a season and get Lynch ready.

    For someone who's clearly going to dot around the league, asking him to give up $5 million (that he's now guaranteed) is a bit mental.

    Being dropped for gabbert has to hurt, but not sure it's worth throwing $5 million down the drain for.

    I guess there's an argument that if he guides them to a Super Bowl (and say what you want... but he's better than Manning was last year, comfortably) then he'll command much more money in future. But I agree, I can't see why he'd give up $5m this year.

    You say that, but he's already proven he can guide a team to a Super Bowl.

    In his eyes he probably thinks he's earned his big contract already and has no reason to give it up.

    Chip clearly doesn't think he's the solution but elway basically saying we don't think you're our answer isn't really going to be a huge driver. The nfl is a business and the players are well aware of that now. If the shoe was on the other foot kap would be tossed at the first opportunity.

    LeSean McCoy hasn't been charged for his assault on a police officer due to lack of any evidence so he wont be missing any games for the Bills.
