    The good thing is there are a bunch of EDGE guys who have been talked up as first rounders - Nick Bosa, Josh Allen & Clelin Ferrell are the surefire guys, with Brian Burns, Montez Sweat & Jachai Polite the others who usually make the list. Then you have small school guys like Jaylon Ferguson & Oshane Ximines who also get thrown in there occasionally, as well as a few guys who might end up as interior guys, Rashan Gary, Charles Omenihu & Zach Allen.

    So yeah, there are plenty of edge rushers to go around. You're probably doing okay for all your main positions of need - RB, interior O-Line & WR should all have some good players still on the board in the third round at least.

    An edge rusher and a MLB is right up there too.

    Suggs doesn't have long left with Bowser and Williams not showing enough and Za'Darius Smith surely on his way out with a fat contract.

    Mosley still hasn't agreed a deal so he could leave although I do think Peanut and Kenny Young are a fine duo with Chris Board and Bam Bradley looking like they could be our next UDFA MLB stars.

    Watching the North practices & I'll tell you this much; Jaylen Smith (WR, Louisville) isn't getting drafted if he keeps on like today. Slow, not sure about his effort, literally put his hands out to complain about the coverage mid-rep one time, then actually managed to get some separation & dropped the ball. Pretty much the worst possible start to the week.

    EDIT: Both Zach Allen & Charles Omenihu looked unspectacular in the OL/DL drills (although Charles did punk Michael Dieter), and given there was already talk of both having to move inside it seems to make a lot of sense. Not sure either will have a great shot on the edge if they can't even consistently beat some the Senior Bowl guys when the drill is weighted in their favour.

    Greg Gaines looked good though - far more dynamic as a rusher than I was expecting for a guy who I'd only heard of as a run plugging DT.

    --

    Watching the South OL/DL again & I forgot how full on Carl Granderson was coming Dude was flat out the whole time & never stayed in one spot long enough for anyone to get hands on him. Andre Dillard looked good & showed why there are people talking him up as a first round tackle, and your boy Oli Udoh from Elon was pretty solid too, playing tackle & guard. He's going to get drafted for sure.

    Chiefs have fired their DC.

    Had Dee Ford not been offside he'd still have his job.

    Judging by their offensive rankings he'd only have had it another fortnight.

    Larry's back with the Cardinals for another year

    Also, PJ Williams got picked up for drink driving. Great way to celebrate a championship round loss.

    In the legal equivalent of a Hail Mary pass, two New Orleans Saints season ticket holders have asked a judge to reverse the result of the NFC championship game that sent the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl, or order a replay.

    Lol.

    Senior Bowl practices are over, so here's a quick list of some winners & losers:

    Winners
    Toggle Spoiler


    Losers
    Toggle Spoiler


    There are probably others too, but we'll see if anyone else stands out in the game tomorrow.

    Kris Boyd (CB, Texas) is so bad - three penalties in the first two drives of the Senior Bowl He's been like it all season too.

    Hunter Renfrow, however If we got Chris Lindstrom, Hunter Renfrow & Jordan Ta'amu I'd be very happy.

    Lock with the underhand throw

    Overall talent level isn't the greatest - Deebo Samuel, Montez Sweat, Drew Lock & Daniel Jones are probably the only four who could go round one - but it's packed with mid-round guys who can play.

    I really hope hunter Renfrew makes it as a slot receiver in the NFL. He's such a likeable character and really, really solid as a catcher.

    This on NFL network or sky?

    Beast.









    Matt Miller & Daniel Jeremiah both fucking love him too - think DJ has him as the 5th best player in the whole class.

    Yeah, josh Jacobs was definitely under appreciated at Bama.

    They tend to lean on the o line and big runners so your man Damien Harris was the lead.

    Their #3 back from last year looked really nifty too. The lad from Ohio was it, that just wasn't recruited by anyone.

    Daniel Jones has completely shit the bed this week.

    EDIT: He gets the MVP award because he scored a goal-line rushing TD

    I kind of got it when they went to Hawaii. It's a reward for the players and it shows Hawaii the NFL which is it so isolated from.

    But Orlando? The players probably don't want to be there, the fans don't care, and it's not exactly paradise in January.

    Either do it in Hawaii and treat it as a holiday or bin it and just give the guys the recognition they've been great and move on.

    The senior bowl at least has competition because there's careers to be made. The pro bowl changes nothing for a player and is just another injury risk (that they try and remove by making it contactless effectively).

    I'm astonished that you can put up with watching it.

    I managed about 15 minutes of it roughly a decade ago and then stopped for fear of it giving me brain damage.

    Philly came out and said they would be picking up Foles' $20m option but he's voided the deal by paying $2m back.

    Next option is they either tag him to trade him or just let him walk.

    Seen that a lot of people are mocking DK Metcalf to us:



    I wouldn't say no to that.

    Edit: I was disappointed with his tame name but I've just checked and the DK stands for DeKaylin Zecharius. Fucking sign him up

    He’s a monster. He could bench 100lbs in first grade, and he looked like this at 18 (far right).



    Best WR in the class, just ahead of Kelvin Harmon. Long strider (I’d expect him to run under 4.50), can dominate press, good route runner, a bit inconsistent on contested catches/jump balls but when he gets it right he’s unstoppable.

    Injury history (missed about half of his three seasons & ended this one with a neck injury) is probably the biggest thing that can hold him back.

    There are a couple tonight. Not sure what time exactly (think it's 1am) or where to watch them (apparently they might have the games on their website), but that's what the internet is for.

    Another 'pro' league for players not on NFL rosters. Like the xfl but there's 4 NFL teams loosely linked to each team. There's a few players you'd recognise.

    What is the AAF? Notable players, coaches, teams, schedule for new Alliance of American Football league
    By Cody Benjamin 2h ago • 3 min read

    The new Alliance of American Football is almost ready for kickoff (the two season-openers, San Diego-San Antonio and Atlanta-Orlando, are both on CBS at 8 p.m. ET Saturday, with regional coverage, and can be streamed on CBS All Access). So, what exactly is the AAF? Well, you may have come across some news about former NFL quarterbacks finding new homes, if you've been reading football headlines recently,

    CBS Sports Network aired a QB Draft with lead analysis from Kurt Warner, for instance, and in that draft, familiar names like Christian Hackenberg, Josh Johnson (who ended up playing for the Washington Redskins in a few games late in the 2018 NFL season) and Aaron Murray were selected as if starting their NFL careers afresh.

    Those quarterbacks -- and countless other players -- are actually preparing to suit up for the AAF, a brand new league set to debut on Saturday.

    If you're like most football fans, however, and you're still trying to figure out just what the heck AAF really is, well, you've come to the right place. Here, we've got all the details you need to get ready for the games this weekend (and we've even got Power Rankings):

    So what is the AAF?
    AAF stands for Alliance of American Football, which was announced in March by co-founders Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian, the latter of whom spent decades working as an NFL executive. It is an eight-team league that exists to both complement the NFL during the offseason and showcase local, developing talent. Its leadership board features former NFL players Jared Allen, Hines Ward and Troy Polamalu, and its mission is to provide "high-quality professional football fueled by a dynamic Alliance between players, fans and the game." And if you want to see out who we've got in the Week 1 games, check out our picks.


    What are the teams?
    The AAF's inaugural eight franchises are as follows:

    Arizona Hotshots
    Atlanta Legends
    Birmingham Iron
    Memphis Express
    Orlando Apollos
    Salt Lake Stallions
    San Antonio Commanders
    San Diego Fleet


    Who are some notable coaches and players?
    The AAF used a QB Draft to allow each of the eight teams an opportunity to either protect allocated quarterbacks or pick one from another region, with those quarterbacks first signing directly to the AAF. Before the draft, dozens of other players had already joined the league, with Hines Ward hinting this fall that "big names" remain on the AAF's radar.

    Before any players signed to the league, the AAF also announced head coaches for all eight of its original teams.

    Here's a rundown of some of the most notable names on each team entering 2019:

    Team: Arizona Hotshots
    Coach: Rick Neuheisel
    Players: QB Trevor Knight

    Team: Atlanta Legends
    Coach: Kevin Coyle
    Players: QB Aaron Murray, QB Matt Simms, WR Stephen Hill

    Team: Birmingham Iron
    Coach: Tim Lewis
    Players: QB Blake Sims, QB Scott Tolzien, RB Trent Richardson, CB JaCorey Shepherd, K Nick Novak


    Team: Memphis Express
    Coach: Mike Singletary
    Players: QB Christian Hackenberg, QB Zach Mettenberger, RB Zac Stacy, WR Chris Givens

    Team: Orlando Apollos
    Coach: Steve Spurrier
    Players: QB Garrett Gilbert, QB Stephen Morris, WR Frankie Hammond, DB Will Hill

    Team: Salt Lake Stallions
    Coach: Dennis Erickson
    Players: QB B.J. Daniels, QB Garrett Grayson, RB Matt Asiata

    Team: San Antonio Commanders
    Coach: Mike Riley
    Players: RB David Cobb, RB Daryl Richardson


    Team: San Diego Fleet
    Coach: Mike Martz
    Players: QB Josh Johnson, RB Bishop Sankey

    When will they start playing?
    The AAF's 10-week, 40-game regular season begins Saturday, Feb. 9, at 8 p.m. ET from Spectrum Stadium in Florida, where the Orlando Apollos will host the Atlanta Legends; and from The Alamodome in Texas, where the San Antonio Commanders will host the San Diego Fleet.

    CBS is scheduled to broadcast the AAF's Feb. 9 Opening Day, with regional coverage (and you can stream the games on CBS All Access), while CBS Sports Network will then carry one AAF game each week throughout the season (stream those games on CBS Sports Network or on fuboTV, try for free).

    Yeah, I'm tempted - any team who has both Hackenberg & Mettenberger must be on to something.
