Goff will receive a contract worth nearly 28 million (4 years) with about an 18 million signing bonus ... Wentz will receive a slightly lesser amount (26 million / 16-17 million signing bonus)

It's any wonder the 1st round picks are generally beside themselves with joy and who could blame them? ... of course, the draftees are coming from a largely amateur background (College) so it's like going from one extreme to another.

How good is the NFL...

draft day is always fun even when your team barely has any picks... Only in the NFL can the Tunsil thing happen. Absolutely amazing.

Big winners for me, Titans and Jags. List wise they are both serious teams now. Jags will be so great. Defenders galore, especially if Jack gets up, but their offense is great too with receivers everywhere and a super young quarterback. Watch out for them.

 

Totally agree with dan about the jags. Their defense just got so much better and their first round pick last year Dante flower is back after a pre season ACL. They could jump up big this year. 

Vikes did ok. Treadwell is the type of receiver we need not super quick but tall and can get those 10-20 yard throws that teddy is good at executing. We got the German receiver "Mobo" in the sixth round. After watching AP highlights on you tube he decided to give football a go and now he is a Viking good on him. Everyone else happy with what their teams got?

Good on him! 6ft 4, 229 pounds & runs 40 yard dash in 4.43 seconds... That's some kind of athlete, be interesting to follow his progress. 

Falcons probably grabbed Keanu Neale a bit early at pick 17 but he wouldn't have been there by there 2nd round. Thought they'd go with a LB like Darren Lee but safety is a spot they needed to address also. Seems like they've gone for Quinn's "fast & physical" style of play with the players they've picked. Read a few articles saying his trying to create his on Legion of Boom.. See how that pans out. Suprised we didn't take a QB, they got Matt Schuab to back up Matt Ryan but thought they might think long term and pick one up.

I'm already hanging out for the season!

Whitner may sign with the Rams, that would be good. 

We are trialling aWR (williams) who got cut from Auburn due to behavior issues.  They say would have gone first round of he had no issues.  Supposedly he is seeing a shrink. A WR is required, hopefully he works out for us. 

It seems like that the NFL have a good depth of talent pool.. Guessing the huge population in the US means there's a deeper pool but its surprising how many players I watch and think "gee where'd he come from ?" Only to look him up and see he was an undrafted free agent or a 4-7th round pick! 

One of the things that causes that i believe is due to the college system being so different to the NFL especially at QB. take Goff, goes number one, he had played a system that is not NFL. he took one snap under centre in the years. So he has to adjust big time. Same for a lot of positions.

Pleased with Eagles, but just because I liked the tape on Wentz. As I said earlier, Gorgo, you and I will be at each other for years on Goff/Wentz watch. And as I said, I think Goff has a neater NFL ready throw.

Otherwise, not a great or even interesting draft at all by Eagles. While Wentz learns the ropes Eagles will be lucky to go 6-10. Will hand a top 4 pick to Browns next year. Then Wentz will be starter, and we'll go into 2018 with only one second rounder missing. Fine by me. Rebuild time.

The Packers drafted 3 players for our defensive line, 2 offensive tackles, a WR and a DE.  Our first round choice (DT Kenny Clark) looks a decent pick by all accounts.

Anyway, from all reports, all the choices were valid and pleasing but I don't know a great deal about any of the draftees (I don't watch much college football apart from the odd big clash)

Time will tell.  Drafting remains a bit of a mystery to me as it does in the AFL.  All the knowledge in the world can often amount to not much at all.  I just trust that they know what they're doing and that they know what they're looking for (and I wish them some luck as well - because, there is an element of luck)

 


I don't follow the college games, I find them quite different to NFL games even tho fundamentally it's the same game, it plays out different in my head... Yep, weird, I know. Ha ha

Every season I get a little bit more interested in college (and slightly more knowledgeable) but I quite honestly haven't got the time to fit it in.  I find the weekly rankings a bit intriguing but that's about it.

Bringing in semi-finals added more interest but they'd need a final 8 (at least) to get more of my attention.  If they at least did that the teams would start to feel more familiar.

Can't get into college ball. With the offense usually being run very differently to the pro's it kinda looks like a 20/20 version of the NFL. I may be wrong as I don't watch too much of it. I see the buc's are getting a lot of heat for trading up in the 2nd round for a kicker. Dunno if they needed to use a 2nd round pick on him. From the little I've heard he is a good kicker but a 2nd round pick? Nah not for me. 

Yeah I did a double take when I saw they took a kicker in the second round, was even more amazed that they traded up for him.

We signed williams.  Interesting to see if he is as good as they say. But also can he stay or of trouble. 

 

TJ McDonald done for dui as well.


Hayne finished in the NFL.. I was never convinced he would make it, typical media & uneducated people got carried away with his pre season form against nobodies.. Good on him for having a crack but looks like he got in befor the 49ers didn't bring him back. At least 7mate will show decent games this year!

I didn't think he would really make it, it's bloody hard to change to a sport which is so technical and you need to know 5 plays per call and what your role is on each look.

Noone who follows the game gave him a chance. When he fumbled that first ball, he was a dead man walking.

Bradford is the most popular person in philli at the moment i hear ?

 

Heh. Sook. Bring on Wentz I say. lol I would even get excited about the inevitable high first round pick. But we traded it away.

What do you think of Foles holding out of OTA's Gorgoroth ? Obviously with Goff coming in he knows he'll most likely be the back up but surely you get to training and work hard to fight for the spot not just sook it up and look elsewhere. Seems like he could be headed to the Jets if Fitzpatrick doesn't come to an agreement

From what fisher said he is happy for Foles to miss. I think Foles is looking to be number 4. Mannion is getting reps in the otas as is keenum. No club is really after Foles at the moment so no rush or care for us it seems.

Foles is doneskies. If he got another starting job I'd be stunned. If he landed at Jets though, he could do ok.

Watched him at Philly when he was "good." Nobody liked him, even then.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
