Relatively satisfied for the Giants, Thomas over some of the other choices was a little surprising, but then the ‘experts’ feel hthe is the safest bet and NFL ready.
Getting McKinney in round 2 is a steal. Peart in 3 was also a positive.
Hopefully Saquon will have a better season with a stronger o line.

Looking at some clips of James Robinson he looks like he could be a great pickup as an UDFA.
I suspect they'll trot Fournette out as the starter before eventually finding a taker in the middle of the season in exchange for a late round pick. I could see us adding a FA RB that gets cut before/during the season - maybe someone like Devontae Booker.
Though the Seahawks draft wasn’t particularly exciting, I always remember this assessment of the 2012 draft.
Seattle were ranked as having the poorest draft of all NFL teams, with a certain Russell Wilson dismissed as the worst pick of the lot...

More than happy with the Browns draft this year....really solid. Jedrick Wills should help shore up the left tackle spot, with Conklin on the right. DPJ is a good late round pick...he had some decent games for Michigan. Loved the Grant Delpit pick, he is a baller - and there will be immediate familiarity in the DB room with Greedy Williams also coming from LSU last year. It'll be interesting to see how Harrison Bryant transitions to the NFL. Not much love for him so far by "the experts", despite being the top College TE last year - winning the John Mackey Award. I watched a few of the FAU Owls games last year and he was impressive.

Winston to the Saints http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001111719/article/saints-expected-to-sign-jameis-winston-to-1year-deal
Interesting it is only a year given Brees and Hill have been extended to 2021.

Seems kind of redundant being a one year contract. He won’t play much unless Brees gets injured but he’ll learn a lot I guess. Interesting he didn’t stick around for a starting position at another team although his stock prob a good dropped a lot last year given the interceptions.

Arguably the only team that has a starting vacancy right now is the Patriots and Winston wouldn't fit in there. NO is a great landing spot for him; gets to learn from Brees and Payton, stay in the NFC South and potentially get reps if Brees gets an injury.

I thought this was an interesting piece, some big figures if the Pack try and move Rodgers on
The timing of the split isn’t tricky to figure out unless Rodgers tries to preemptively force a move. All signs point to 2022. Trade Rodgers now, and it would trigger a $45.9m cap charge. Wait until 1 June, however, and that number drops to a more palatable $14m in 2020 with the rest of the money pushed to 2021.

I can't think of an example of a top (especially #1) draft pick who's been a bust really re-invigorating their career at a new team, especially a QB. It seems to be a downward spiral usually.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is Carson Palmer. But then, he wasn’t a huge bust at Bengals (even had a good season at Raiders in between Bengals and Cardinals).
Only time will tell with Jameis.

Yeah, he didn't set the world alight at Cincinnati, but he wasn't a disaster and had a fair few years. Although maybe you could say the same for Jamieis (not so much the number of years). He's not been an out and out failure.

Good shout - I had to look it up as I had no memory of him going so highly, but you're right - Pick 8.

Probably because he spent 2 and a half seasons at A&M playing WR as he was 3rd string / then back up QB....only had a season and a half starting under center!

Bengals have released Andy Dalton, End of an era.
Not many teams are in need of that arm now either.

Watching the NFL show on Sky last night they were discussing if the Bengals should keep Dalton to help mentor Burrow especially as pre-season might be shorter due to COVID...I guess the answer is no.

Seen whispers over the last week of Pats holding out for Dalton. Would make sense, good system QB with a decent arm that carried a woeful team. Be interesting to see how he would get on in NE with a decent trench in front of him and a HC who actually knows what they’re doing

Analysts seem to be insistent that Broncos are still looking for a QB. Rumours the other day about Aaron Rogers, now they are saying Dalton could be under consideration.
