"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."

"Yeah we definitely need help at receiver, hopefully get one of those next 2 tight ends in the next round, have 5 of the next 68 picks and then another 6 later on so plenty of draft capital to move around the board"

"the redskins couldn't have picked better. will be interesting now if they move up again for a receiver, I know they love metcalf but I think he'll be one of the early picks later"

"crystal, he's a great prospect. I wouldn't have minded is taking him at twenty six. he's less of a gamble than metcalf and has the size you want, to go with 4.5 speed. he'll be your main outside receiver for years"

Interesting thing i saw online about the raiders drafting that guy so high: Amari Cooper and Khalil Mack both have the same agent who has obviously fallen out with the raiders and Gruden in particular over the last year. This agent also now represents Josh Allen and Ed Oliver who were the 2 too pass rushers predicted to be taken ahead of the guy they took at 4. Has Gruden written all over it to be that petty and refuse to take a better talent because of a personal vendetta against an agent

crystal falace 2:33 Fri Apr 26 If I remember from a run down of receivers (Saints are interested in one and I think met with him) he does have top top speed but agile and a great route runner. Was meant to go lower in most mock drafts I saw.

"It's one of the craziest things in a draft when a team (last night Raiders/Giants) makes a high pick which absolutely baffles everyone watching- presenter, analyst or armchair fan What are they seeing that everyone else has missed, or what have they missed that everyone else has seen? Most of the time the majority are correct and these picks are remembered as bad ones."

Mike you know anything about this receiver we've draftee? The patriots show i was listening to never mentioned him as a potential pick they seemed to have several other receivers ahead of him in their rankings

Jones is a traditional Manning - type passer from highlights. No idea how good he actually is. But the video I have seen of the giants fans reactions is pretty funny.

"Giants have taken jones at nimber 6?! He wasnt projected to go in the first round in several mocks i saw, seems a hell of a reach Raiders had a crazy pick at 4 too Gutted that Hockinson seems to have shot up everyone's boards seems like he's going to be gone long before the pats could even trade up for"

"The Eagles need to be looking at the secondary, LB and the OL. To be honest, the permutations get so complex isn't you're low down that I don't even try and work that out. You're so dependent on what happens before,"

"hermit, I don't think the giants people have a clue what they're doing. apparently the mannings know daniel jones from duke and that's rumoured who the giants are looking at to learn for a year from eli. I'm sure they want too much for rosen otherwise we'd have made a deal weeks ago. what position are the eagles looking at?"

"The Giants should trade for him, be ideal toned him in for a year behind Manning. They've got two first round picks so have one to play with."

"I think they'll still have takers after the draft, all depends how greedy they are. I though we may have gone for him but it may now be Haskins if they can move up. I hope neither happens and we get Brian Burns at fifteen"

"Hermit Sure they won't go Bosa, Murray almost seems like the type of quarter back that has been huge in college but that ended up in the CFL."

"Got the pre draft show on, ready to see the Cardinals get themselves into a situation by picking a QB without shifting Rosen first."

"Cheers i'll have a look, The patriots podcast i listen to have been doing loads of draft coverage but its more about the people who may be available for the pats to pick so havent heard much about the top guys. Seems like they'd have to trade into the top 20 to get Hockinson,"
