Don’t think Goff is all that. He’s functional in a good scheme loaded with weapons. Take out the run and he can’t pick teams apart.

He's not all that but he's better than his showing in his rookie season. He looked awful.

Yeah he was. No protection from OL, rash passes under pressure and inexperience.

Will stay up for the draft tomorrow night as i'm off work on Friday.

Hoping the Vikings take the best O Line player available at 18, they will probably take another luxury on the defensive side of the ball though....

 

[Dire Wolf]

I'd say it's hard to say with Rosen as he spent his rookie season on a terrible Cardinals team.

Plenty of QB's have taken some time as well - Goff looked a lot worse than Rosen in his first season with the Rams.

I think Rosen will improve with a better supporting cast. He could end up at the Giants as understudy/heirapparent to Eli.

On last year's QB class, I have a feeling that when it all shakes out Sam Darnold and Josh Allen will become the best of the bunch. Allen is a real gamer. I'm not sold on Mayfield, despite looking good at times last season.

'Skins trying to trade up to 5 to take a QB. Will give up loads for someone in an average class. RGIII all over again

Are there no top RBs in this draft? All I've read about is QBs and defensive players.

Only the really elite tend to go in the first round anyway due to limited shelf life, Josh Jacobs went to the Raiders to replace Lynch. The general view is that there are a bunch who will go tonight but they are all much of a muchness so not worth over paying for.

 

[Deano]

The way the game is now, unless you have a real top guy like Barkley last year I'd never take an RB in round 1 as you can find good starters later.

 

[Dire Wolf]

It'll be interesting to see what happens to Rosen now that the Giants drafted Eli Lite and the Washington stayed put and got Haskins.

Dolphins rumoured to be trying to trade for him. Which would mean 3 of the 5 first round QBs from last year's draft would be playing in the AFC East, which is slightly crazy. But with Brady surely reaching the end of his career soon that division could become interesting and relevant again.

Cardinals did well out of the Rosen trade. Got their QB in the draft and a WR and an extra pick for a QB who didn't have a very good season. Rare that a trade benefits both parties so much.

Fucking Tottenham, what a shit show they've put on with the initial ticket sales!

Gerry was on first thing but after two and a half hours waiting all the first run of tickets have gone, sold out. I can, however, go onto Ticketmaster, StubHub, Viagog etc and pay at least double the ticket face value to get one!

Even Twickenham managed to sort sales so that the existing NFL season ticket holders got the first run of sales

 

[The Bear]

Same here Mike. On early and queued for two hours before I got on, then it was sold out. Absolute shambles. NFL UK basically lied to us about Wembley STHs getting priority for Spurs tickets, and then put the most popular game on at Spurs which is 30,000 smaller than Wembley.

 

[darlowolf64]

I sent a really ranty email to Spurs ticket customer services, had a reply with a link to NFL UK so sent them the same rant! :icon_lol:

I expect the square root of fuck all to happen, mind

 

[darlowolf64]

So, we try again... 10 minutes to sale of the rest of the NFL tickets

 

[darlowolf64]

Fuck yeah! Tickets, lower tier, End Zone to see the Bears :Victory:

 

[The Bear]

Got mine for Bears v Raiders too Mike.

Sideline upper tier, row 27. Well pleased with those. Only £10 extra per ticket more than I wanted to pay too. Thought we'd be stuck with the dregs and £100+ tickets.

See you there!

I didn't get any choice, just told "here, take these in the lower end zone!"

I fucking hate the way Spurs have run the sales for this, not a patch on Wembley or Twickenham and they hiked the prices too compared to Wembley

 

[The Bear]

I got offered those first up, though you could choose to search for more if you didn't want them.

Spurs haven't run this really though. It's TicketMaster that are the arseholes. I'm amazed they changed the queueing system for today, and that it actually worked.

 

[Deano]

Look like I will be missing this year as I was on my honeymoon when the single game tickets went on sale and they all sold out quickly. Only way i'll be able to go is if I get lucky and get a couple when the team returns get sent back.
