    @canefan Both Jones and Lance have gone to excellent situations

    You couldn't do better right? Both well coached, well rounded teams

    fucking niners fans

    you won 6 games last year. 1 more than the Broncos who suck.

    Yes they are not bad. but they play in a tough division (which relates to teh above stat) with pass rush everywhere.

    We won 6 games year because we had a historic injury list.

    Jimmy G, Kittle, Bosa, all injured

        Tha Jags take Etienne. Seems foolish to me, Robinson is an excellent back and they have a ton of other needs.

        I had a gut feeling they were going to do something stupid in the first, just wasn't off on which of their firsts it was.

          Ah just realised he's from Clemson too. Next year Jags announce they're moving to South Carolina.

            Chicago Bears finally get a solid future prospect in Fields. Remains to be seen if he makes it, but the bar is pretty low in Chicago

              Didn't manage to follow day 2 live but doesn't seem to have been many shocks. Trask at the bucs will be an interesting watch. I think he's a long shot to make it but he's got plenty of time to grow. Mond in the 3rd feels like a massive reach to me, sure the vikes could have got him later, but I guess they had a bunch of extra picks so just wanted to get him.

              I was expecting the Jets to trade down and recoup picks after jumping up for avt. They love Elijah Moore though and reckon they got 3 first round quality players. Zach Wilson has no excuses now. His blindside protection will be up there with the best in the league, his receiving corps is stacked with dynamic talent and the lafleur flavour of the shanahan offence should be friendly. I'm also picking one of the jets rbs to have a massive season in a run friendly offence with two road graders to run behind, but the tricky bit will be picking who that will be. Lots of rumours that they were looking at drafting one of the top guys, but if they don't take any I think Ty Johnson could top 1000 yards.

                  They were pretty damn thorough. No guarantees but it's hard to argue with their process

                    DK Metcalf ran in the heats for the Olympic trials for the 100m metres.

                    He ran last, but in a decent time of 10.37

                    But the thing was, you look at him at the start line. With him there, all those other sprinters, who normally look massive, looked like middle distance runners. He is fucking massive.

                      No fairy tales for DK but I love that he went out and did it rather than just talk shit.

                        and by god he looked big compared to the others.

                        Also, would love to see the sprinters do that after 40 minutes of getting smashed in tackles!

                          Only just last, though, he was right in it.

                          The NZ record is only 10.11. Reckon if he specialised he could have a fair old crack at it

                            Julio Jones to the Titans. Oooh but they are gonna be fun to watch with two elite receivers and Henry running the ball

                            Jones is one of my favourite players in the league.

                                    Did they give up anything to get him?

                                    2nd round pick and something else that has yet to be announced (5th rounder, pick swap, something like that)

                                    Atlanta moved a big salary.

                                    What's next for ATL? Try to move Matty Ice?

                                    @canefan Atlanta trading Julio Jones frees up enough cap space for them to sign their rookies.

                                    Matt Ryan's contract is much tougher to move - they restructured it earlier this year. They are locked in for at least another year if not 2.

                                      A 2nd plus a little more feels a little steep for a guy who realistically only has a couple of seasons left in him and struggles to play full seasons.

                                      But the Titans are a team with Superbowl ambitions and Jones is a major upgrade for them so it makes sense for them to pull the trigger now.

                                      If Jones is fit for the playoffs and on the field for more than 10 games this is a pretty good trade for the Titans.

                                      As mentioned, the falcons are deep in cap hell at the moment so they needed to do this or something similar. Matt Ryan is yet more proof that there is nothing worse for a franchise than a QB who is almost good enough to be a franchise qb.

                                          Ryan needs to look left, look right and then either throw or hand to Henry. Going to be fun to watch.

                                          Seeing the Titans beat the Pats at home and running the clock on Belichek is one of the all time fun playoff results. That, and Henry is just a monster, so physically dominant. Love it.
