NFL (since 2016)

"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."

*Bryce Young* Bryce Love was our running back who never played a game

[Takashi Miike]

"OGS, you've also got a fifth rounder from Pittsburgh. Package a few together and move up for Bryce Love"

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Jets had a great draft, AFC East could be interesting this year. Agreed, TM, reckon Hawks must be thinking of a QB from next year's class and putting the building blocks in this year. Still got Rd1 and Rd 2 picks from Broncos in 2023."

[Takashi Miike]

"SB, your GM nailed the draft. Getting Johnson that late was a masterstroke, Breece Hall is a great running back which will now allow Carter to do more of the later down stuff he did in Carolina and the only reason Ruckert went as late as he did, was because he was playing alongside the Ohio State receivers I didn't miss a NC game in 2020 when Howell had all his weapons (Carter, Wiliams, Brown, Newsome), and if he'd entered last year's draft would have been a top twenty pick. No idea why so many teams ignored him, but who gives shit now. He now has time to to develop behind Wentz and won't be rushed in to the main job"

"Jets finished the lower rounds with something more like a ""traditional""ù draft for us - including a tight end we probably don't need (although he's a huge Jets fan) and a TWICE convicted felon! But, regardless, we had a very fine draft and added some serious talent to a poor roster. The Jets are still some way off being a play-off side, because most of the talent is young. We're going to be a bit like an under-21 side in the premier league. But if Saleh doesn't win at least seven games next season, he will start to become the problem. He'll be beyond the ""excuses""ù phase, after his GM delivered a talent-heavy draft for the second year. TM - Howell is a good player for a 5th rounder, isn't he? In previous years, when the league was awash with its usual QB inflation, he'd go two rounds above that. This year, the opposite happened: many of the so-called experts decided the QB class was relatively poor (which it probably is), but it meant the few guys with decent talent stayed on the board for longer. I think you got a bargain."

[Takashi Miike]

"OGS, I thought Howell or Willis were perfect for you but maybe Carroll's looking to next year where they'll be a few more talented QBs entering the draft"

[OccupyGreenStreet]

"Nice one, TM, you got your pick with Howell. Hawks have drafted pretty well - except for steering clear of a QB when we've had ready picks and little risk. Guess it's either the Drew Lock/Geno Smith show or we're back looking at Baker Mayfield?"

[Takashi Miike]

"sam howell in the 5th round, amazing pick. my favourite qb in the draft and insurance if wentz doesn't work out"

[Takashi Miike]

*fans fail to grasp*

[Takashi Miike]

"*redskin fan channels* don't get me wrong, I've been watching some of these channels for many years and they do their best but some of the Huddersfield to grasp that it's just a personal opinion, and in no way a guarantee"

[Takashi Miike]

"to a certain extent, the fan channels create hype about certain names over many weeks (some channels copying other channels info) and it's done to such an extent that it causes hysteria income of these names get picked. I watch most of these channels, but I also listen to the pro analysts and sites like the draft network. personally, if rather have had Trey McBride or one of the LBs but the decision was made, get the fuck on with it üòÅ"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Two good players, those, TM. The DT was highly regarded and I think you nicked him ahead of some play-off contenders."

[Takashi Miike]

"yet more meltdowns from a big percentage of the commanders fanbase. I've no doubt there were better players available, but the coach wanted a DT and drafted one of the Alabama captains. I don't think Saban hands out those roles to wastes of space/bums but clearly the thick part of the fanbase knows better. we also signed another Alabama bum, in running back Brian Robinson (2021 - 1600 total yards from scrimmage and 16 TDs!. I expect a further five nervous breakdowns at the end of tonight üòÇ"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Feckin' hell - Jets having a stormer. Traded up in round 2 to take the best dual-threat running back in the draft. Now have Breece Hall and Carter at RB, a decent O-line and two good young receivers in Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore. They're going all in on offensive weapons. Zach Wilson will have no excuses if this fails over the next few years. He's surrounded by talent. They're all young - drafted in 2021 and 2022. So it'll take a while. But Douglas and Saleh have put some potentially big building blocks in place. Best draft we've had since the early 2000s, when we got extra picks because of Bill Napkin."

[southbankbornnbred]

TM - Dotson has amazing hands and agility. Some of his catches in traffic are mind-boggling. All he lacks is size. And a few receivers have shown that's not always important. He'll do well with a decent QB.

[southbankbornnbred]

"Grump - the entire NFL-watching community was split over who should be the #1 pick this year...so the surprise was probably more on the faces of Jags fans! Travon Walker is a fine player (versatile, too) and he will have a good career. But I wouldn't say he was the best player in the draft. I reckon there were three or four I'd have picked above him. Others will disagree. His college career was solid, rather than spectacular and he benfited from being on a D-line that also contained Jordan Davis (who, as TM said, is also a fine player who has gone to the Eagles). He only had six sacks last season, just one in his sophomore year. Many tackles, though. His draft stock shot up because of his performance at the combine, which is always a risky gauge."

[Takashi Miike]

Wilson is a better receiver

[Takashi Miike]

"I'm always amazed at the negativity a percentage of the washington fans direct at the first pick. loads writing off dotson, clearly the cunts haven't watched a minute of film and should really keep their traps shut"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Jets offered #10 spot (which we used on Garrett Wilson) and another pick to 49ers for Deebo. I think we did in safe in the knowledge that it would be turned down, which it was, and then we'd have a clean conscience about taking Wilson at #10. I'm pleased we drafted the kid, even though Samuel is one heck of a player. It will allow us to build a little more slowly - and Samuel probably merits going to a play-off contender (which we are not...yet)."

[Grumpster]

"Not had a good look at the draft yet, always funny seeing the disappointed look when the number 1 pick ends up at a shit team the poor bastards. Gonna be a right bastard to lose deebo, blokes irreplaceable."

[southbankbornnbred]

"Too right - there's a LOT of talent still left on the board. Rnd 2 will be interesting, but rounds 3 and 4 this year will also hold some genuine immediate starters. Look out for guards in Rnd 3. Some huge bookends kicking about. Good GMs and scouts will be worth their weight in gold today. Some half-decent QBs to come: people who were definitely not first-rounders but who, in others years, would already have been picked. For once, the league has been sensible about QBs - meaning there are good opps for teams to pick up 'cheaper' play-callers who could gradually develop into starters, or push established names for the starting spot: Corrall, Willis, Howell, Ridder etc."

[Takashi Miike]

"I loved Wilson and I think you've got the full package with him, ready to go and be your WR1 right now. We'd have loved him, or Hamilton but that massive gap after our pick at 113 - not picking again until round six forced our hand. It's such a talent wealthy draft (depth wise), you can't really be missing out on the third/fourth round. tonight I hope we get the TE McBride (someone will beat us to it üòÇ) @ 47 and one of the remaining linebackers (Chenal, Muma, Anderson) or the Maryland safety Nick Cross in R3"

[southbankbornnbred]

"Douglas (GM) just said that the Jets landed 3 of what they considered to be the top 8 players in the entire draft. He's probably wrong about the top 8. But, if they truly felt that, then I can totally understand why they came up the board to get Johnson at #26. It was well known that Saleh likes the look of that kid and it was even suggested we might take him with the #10 pick. Ended up getting him late in the first round. Fucking weird, the draft. The logic is usually skewed by the league's fixation with QBs. But you can't even argue that this year. Just a draft packed full of very big, very strong athletes on offensive lines, defensive lines, corners...plus a fine set of receivers. It's a deep draft pool, rather than one packed with obvious superstars. Travon Walker going at #1 shows that - many people would have put him top #10, but not necessarily #1. He only had six sacks last season."

[southbankbornnbred]

"TM - Yeah, Davis is a brick wall - but one that runs after you, rather than just stands there run-blocking. He's a big lad with quick feet for a lump. Good pick. If we didn't already have Williams, we might have been in for him. The only thing Washington might find problematic with Dotson is his lack of size. He has great hands - as good as anybody in the draft, but he's under 6ft. No issue with that if he's going to be used in the slot and at #2WR. But if they're thinking about primary receivers then he lacks a bit of size. That said, Wilson (our WR pick) is not much over 6ft and he most likely will be the primary target. The issue is that cornerbacks are getting bigger. Used to be the case that you'd draft corners at 5ft 9 with a huge leap (people like Aaron Glenn). Now the corners flying off the board are like Sauce - he's 6ft 2 and 190lbs+. Stingley, the #3 pick, is 6ft 1."

[Takashi Miike]

"love our pick, he's very similar in character & style to Terry Mclaurin but with even better hands. hate to say it, but I think the best pick in round one was the Eagles taking Jordan Davis"
