"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."

"Think is started on time?? Yep, very frustrating when someone piles in one or two places before you and nicks a key player."

Did it start early? I signed in at 2 minutes past 5 as i knew i was pick number 8 and id already missed the first 2 rounds

"Good fun that, rushing to choose someone else when u see your lined up pick go to someone else! First time doing this, some basic advice from here would be helpful if someone doesn't mind."

In now. Let's go.

"Quite a few haven't logged in yet, including Falace."

I'm signed in but can't seem to navigate to the draft (on my mobile)?!? Any advice?

good luck to sean and the boy's go rams

"Reminder to everyone involved, the draft is at 5pm today"

"This is the least confidence ive been going j to a patriots season for quite some time. They've released matthews, britt and mitchell because of injury, leaves them very thin at receiver and with burkehead and michel injured they're pretty thin at running back If edelman or gronk go down which they have a history of then the offence could be very shorthanded. Although the defence looked decent in the last preseason game, might actually be able to et some pressure on the QB"

Patrick Mahomes has some arm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-VHqxbFNOU

49ers are another who'll go well

"Eagles & the Vikings will be tough to beat in the NFC, i would have said the Jaguars in the AFC if they'd replaced Bortles but the Patriots will be the team again to beat"

"Mike, that's great, certainly confused the defense Feed Me Chicken, as long as it's not fucking NE, I don't care, obviously, Id like Minnesota to have a good run at it"

"Just over 2 weeks to go, who do we reckon's gonna lift the Lombardi this year?"

"cough, im sure if AP makes the roster teams will bite on his presence and we'll add some of those plays. Have a look at this play though where Alex Smith faked a handoff to the opposite side of where the running back ran, and then run it in himself. whether it was deliberate is a good question :.) https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/10/20/4859680/alex-smith-fakes-to-nobody-chiefs-still-buy-it-on-td-run"

"Yeah, that Gibbs era was great With Peterson in the backfield, do you think they will call a few play action passes?"

"cough, did you watch it? players like that come along once in a lifetime, he deserved that and should have been honoured much sooner. we're playing the Broncos tonight so we'll get to see how fit AP is, not sure how many plays he'll be involved in, probably the first couple of drives"

"Mike, I see plenty of fans with Hog noses at Art Monk's induction to Canton"

"yes, it's shocking how bad he's run the club/franchise. i'm not a massive gruden fan to be honest, he's a poor play caller but he has had a lot of bad luck with injuries so maybe he's due some better fortune this year. I just hope they've already made plans about what to do when reed goes missing again with another injury"

"I'm always stupidly optimistic in August, it never lasts long. The ownership have a lot to answer for, where have we heard that before..... 20-years ago I rang the Redskins and asked if I came over could I get a ticket, you could hear the women restraining herself from laughing as it was such a stupid question. It was almost out of the question. Now you can get a season ticket in almost any area of the stadium."

"oh dear, we've just been fucked by bad ownership and even worse general managers ever since Snyder took over. maybe Gibbs could have eventually taken the role but he put his family first and we ended up with Bruce Allen :.( im positive about this year though, even after the guice injury. we have some really good young defensive linemen now and depth so we can rotate them, and that should help out the secondary. Alex Smith is a big positive too, yes he's in his last few years but he'll be fully committed unlike Kirk and we can build"

"Riggins and Monk, what a great offense along with the Hogs and Theismann"

"Mike ""ì FC Agreed re AM From 1969 to 1990 the Redskins only had 3 1st round picks and all were great players, Art Monk, Mark May and Darrell Green In the 23 seasons between 1991 to 2012 the Redskins had 19 1st round picks got decent value out of 5 of them, Sean Taylor (RIP), Champ Bailey, Trent Williams, Chris Samuals and Ryan Kerrigan 42 ""ì seasons and 8 players, fucking shocking"

Art got the greatest/longest standing ovation too (4 minutes) when he was inducted back in 2008 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ORshuy-MdTk

"Oh Dear, one of the greatest ever WRs, Art Monk was drafted in the first round by the Skins :-)"
