With the 72nd pick, the Arizona Cardinals select . . . Ceasar Ruiz. C. Michigan Crap. The Cardinals have a legit offensive now. What have I done

With the 70th pick, the Miami Dolphins select . . . Lloyd Cushenberry. IOL. LSU

With the 69th pick, the Carolina Panthers select . . . Jacob Eason. QB. Washington

With the 67th pick the Detroit Lions select . . . John Simpson. Guard. Clemson

Denver. Such a clean and dignified culture within the organization. Sweet stadium and loyal, positive fanbase. Tons of Rocky Mountain trails and I'm just a huge sucker for mountains, pretty weather, top of the line ski resorts, just a great lifestyle all around down there similar to up here. There's lots of teams in areas that are way too urban / ratchet / ghetto, or the weather sucks, you play indoors, or the franchise ends up just being one of those that sucks at being an NFL franchise.

Who do you want your teams to pick in the draft, Phil? Or rather... who WILL they be picking?

With the 64th pick, the Seattle Seahawks select . . . Neville Gallimore. DT. Oklahoma.

I wish I could witness P.E. and how he's been interacting with people lately.

With the 62nd pick the Green Bay Packers select . . . Jordyn Brooks. LB. Texas Tech.

With the 59th pick, the Seattle Seahawks select . . . Julian Okwara. DE. Notre Dame

With the 56th pick, the Miami Dolphins select . . . Cole Kmet. TE. Notre Dame.

With the 48th pick, the New York Jets select . . . Antoine Winfield II. Defensive Back. Minnesota.

I'd like to see an announcement of everything in the NFL pushed back 4-6 weeks. Announce it at the draft. A March Super Bowl wouldn't hurt anyone. Players and coaches really need two full months to prepare for an NFL season. Brady would probably be throwing with Charles Godfrey and Mike Evans and already have a little rapport. But just having preseason games in August with nothing else and then just all systems go just like that? Players new to systems / schemes, or teams with new coaches like Dallas not getting to build any rapport before going to battle. They've officially added two minutes to each teams "on the clock" time for the NFL Draft due to video chats being the main communication medium between all GMs, war room members of each team, man... is this even gunna work? Aren't there scenarios that have happened in the past where they had to internally fight and quarrel mere seconds before a selection is made? Like when someone had to rip the Johnny Manzel draft card out of Jerry Jones' hand that one year? Are we going to see war room brawls break out on live TV?

With the 45th pick, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select . . . Clyde Edwards-Helaire. RB. LSU The perfect RB for the Bucs. In an offense with Brady, Godfrey, Evens, and OJ Howard, this guy will make this offense go. The ultimate security blanket for a QB who will need to get the ball the hell out of his hands ASAP like Broncos Pey-Pey. Not sure why Jonathan Taylor is ranked above him. Maybe the most versatile playmaker in this draft.

With the 39th pick the Miami Dolphins select . . . Laviska Shenault. WR. Colorado Another one of those "why is this dude even available right now" picks with many ranking up right behind the Bama receivers over the Tee Higgins and Mims. Beast at YAC. Could be the best WR in draft classes that don't have other-wordly talent like this class has. RECAP: 1. Tua Tagovailoa QB 1. AJ Epenesa DE 1. Xavier Mckinney S 2. Laviska Shenault WR FartWaffles and ONLY FartWaffles with the Houstan Texans is on the clock. If it becomes Friday and he has not selected, it is up for grabs.

With the 38th pick, the Carolina Panthers select . . . Jeff Gladney. CB. TCU

With the 33rd pick, the Cincinnatti Bengals select . . . Ross Blacklock. DT. TCU

With the 27th pick, the Seattle Seahawks select . . . TREVON DIGGS. CORNERBACK. ALABAMA. So hard to not take Fulton but the brother of a great athlete, former WR, more versatile, big physical like DK Metcalf like Pete and our scheme like em, and just plain nasty makes us fall in love.

With the 26th pick, the Miami Dolphins :dolphins: select . . . Xavier Mckinney. Safety. Alabama

With the 18th pick, the Miami Dolphins :Dolphins: select . . . AJ EPENESA. EDGE. IOWA

With the 8th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Arizona select . . . Jedrick Willis. OT. Alabama. The Jags are on the clock. Picking twice in this round mind you...

Did he really have the leverage to force them to pay that much, or did they just willingly do it? Keep in mind though the league just expanded to an 17 game season, raised the total cap allowed went up as well. So comparing this contract to any other is comparing apples to oranges. I think they should have paid him less and that its a longshot to pay off, but its still not as crazy as it looks at first glance after you digest the new changes that the new CBA launches. NFL players voted to approve a new collective bargaining agreement with the league's owners, ensuring NFL labor peace through at least 2030 and clearing the way for a 17-game regular season as early as 2021. About an hour after the vote was released, sources told ESPN that the salary cap for the 2020 season would be $198.2 million, an increase of $10 million from last season. Overall player costs, which also counts benefits and the performance-based pay pool, per club are $242.9 million.

It's going to be interesting for sure. There's been all kinds of smoke flying all over the NFL. What we're still waiting for is to find out what the cap is gunna be and this whole CBA thing. That is the main thing that's holding everything up and I havn't really done my homework on what that falls into place but with the draft next month it must be soon.

Tradtionaally we waited until the major free agents were all scooped up in the real NFL. Last year we hauled ass ASAP to get done before the NFL draft began.
