Draft night tonight! The road to the 2016 season starts now. Anyone else staying up to watch at least some of it?

Goff expected to go number 1 to L.A and Wentz number 2 to Philly.
After that who knows.

Still not totally convinced that the Broncos won't trade up to get Paxton Lynch. Might depend what happens with Bradford and the Eagles.

Not staying up but looking forward to catching up with it in the morning.

Can't tell which way the Jags are going to go, we've long been linked with Myles Jack but it sounds like his knee is shot, we need a pass rusher and I'd like Bosa, but I can see Goff, Wentz, Elliott and Buckner going 1-4 which could leave Ramsey available...

Going to watch the first hour which is Sky from 12 till 1

Apparently ESPN radio will be recording it and adding it to their podcast section so will at least listen to it tomorrow if not watch it all in the evening

Not staying up but looking forward to catching up with it in the morning.

It's 1:30am over here in Dubai and there's another 2 and a half hours to go. Would like to stay up, but not going to happen!

Texans to take a WR to give Brock O another target other than Hopkins.

Looking forward to locking horns (no Texans pun intended) again in the AFC South once again, DFP.

Expensive night for tunsil. A few surprise picks, Dallas not taking Ramsey, Bosa @3 and giants taking apple while Vernon Hargreaves was still on the board.

AFC South should be good this year, your boys have got a QB, we've got a defence, the Colts are always strong, and the Titans have a million picks to bolster their entire roster.
Pretty chuffed my Ramsey prediction ^^^^ came in, we've now got 3 proper corners, hopefully we can snare Ogbah or Spence in round 2 and a linebacker in 3 and we should be good to go.

Delighted with the Skins getting Doctson. One of, if not, the best WR in the draft. Kirk sure has a lot of weapons to throw to next season. Also means we won't be in cap hell next off season as one of Garcon or Jackson will have to go as we cannot afford to keep both.

Looking forward to seeing what defensive gems McCloughan can unearth now.

My friends say they should have drafted a native American.

As a Colts fan the team I'm most worried about in our division is the Jags,
Fowler, Ramsey AND Jack to come in to help your D next season! Really think Bortles is going to have a breakout year as well.

Not forgetting Malik Jackson (DT), Tashaun Gipson (S) and Prince Amukamara (CB). Every position on the D has been heavily upgraded, should be fun to watch.
Regarding Bortles, last season he threw for 4428 yards and a franchise record 35 TD's :mad: personally I think his stats will drop off this year simply because he has a duel threat pair of running backs to help carry the load, Yeldon was a rookie last year, now he's got Chris Ivory to run with.

Ryan Fitzpatrick re-signs with the Jets in $12M deal. This has been a long process and not a bad pay increase for Fitz who was on $3.25M last year. I think Geno Smith will be the loser in this deal, he had the job last season until that punch up in the locker room and if the Jets bring in Foles he could be out.

Steelers fan despairing at the loss of Bryant (whole season) and Bell (4 games) for being idiots.

Looks like we will never get Roethlisberger, Brown, Bell & Bryant on the field together.
