"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

He looks like a very interesting player indeed.
I can think of a few ways he could make a career in the NFL.

“Tough, physical, violent, aggressive and resilient.”

Aaron Glenn telling journalists about the characteristics he looked for in every draft pick.

Definitely went for a bunch of youngsters who look like they’ll punch and run their way through brick walls. No whining, cotton wool Zach Wilson’s this time around.

Not the NFL draft but Minnesota Golden Gophers add Purdue offensive lineman Jaden Ball through transfer portal
The 6-5, 300-pounder also had offers from Ohio State and Syracuse.

Definitely a kick returner in the style of his new head coach, and could even become an excellent slot receiver. Definitely opens up the field.

one of our better fan channel creators is a georgia fan and talked about him a lot in his pre-draft shows. said he had limited opportunities due to the talent around him but shone when given the chance in 2023, but for some reason didn't kick on last year but he was still a believer and wanted us to take him in the later rounds. just said he needs a bit of work on his technique (catching), but the athleticism is up there with the best

I’m sure that not all of the Jets’ draft picks will “make it” - that’s rare. But happy with the way they selected this year. Good, solid prospects. Some risks - all college kids come with a risk - but no obviously mad over-reaches, and a focus on the meat and bones positions (trenches, blocking etc).

I'll admit the receiver we took I missed when researching players, but he's an athletic freak and went to college locally. I'm hoping we take a particular kicker (Fitzgerald) with one of our remaining picks

that skattebbo pick is interesting. he's a decent back

or, he has a dan snyder clone in his ear telling him he wants a certain player after they've already filled that position

the browns gm must be bordering on mental, he trades out of the second pick, takes two RB1s in Judkins & Sampson, then drafts Dillon Gabriel in the 3rd round, and finishes taking Shadeur Sanders in the 5th. hahaha
​​​​​

Humility goes a very long way. Even in the professional arena. Hopfully Sanders learns from this.?

Still no CBs for the Dolphins.
Hope this is a deep class.

SB, yes he's exactly what we've needed for a long time. I went through all the draft prospects weeks ago narrowing down the ones i'd want, and both our first couple of picks were on my list. adam peters also wanted WR tre harris, but the chargers got in there early. going to be an interesting final day, quite a few very good RBs still available and some bargains at WR. another takeaway from yesterday was the dallas cunts taking ezeiruaku, who many of the fan base thought we'd take. it's going to be a competitive division this year

Btw, TM, Amos looks a good CB.

You've had a decent draft so far. Putting a solid line around that magician Daniels and shoring up your backfield are shrewd moves.

Aaron Glenn is clearly taking a non-flashy approach to his first draft. OL, TE and CB with his first three picks.

All decent prospects, too. All three will start, I’m sure.
