Anyone else fretting and waiting for the draft?

This may be of interest to those who like to go to the London games. There's a decent chance of seeing the 'Phins for some of you.

Jacksonville Jaguars to play two 'home' games in London next season

The Jacksonville Jaguars will play consecutive home games in London next season, potentially strengthening the franchise’s foothold in the UK

My team (Da Bears) don't have a 1st rounder again this year, so not overly concerned.
I was hoping we'd be over again this year, but apparently our game and the Steelers game against the Jags will be in Jacksonville.
 
I don’t think Jacksonville will ever relocate to the U.K. nor any other team.
the London games for me, are a way of getting the American viewing public used to another game time slot. Basically like our early kick off on a Saturday. the market is so saturated they have to think of creative tricks.

I always love the draft and even made it to Radio City, New York years ago to take one in.
Looking forward to my Raiders this year, two first round picks, think we take one of the talented receivers, probably Jerry Jeudy.

The Dolphins need to be wary in taking Tua. Fantastic talent but the injuries bee the years are a massive red flag for me. Personally I’d wait and go for broke to get Lawrence the following year.
 
The Patriots have been told* to select from the third tier of Englands rugby league (guffaw)

*according to Dave the barman in the 'stute
 
I'll go for Colts and Lions. Problem is they have played all their divisional rivals I think over here so for people like its seeing amtch-up you've already seen. Although Colts and Jags was fantastic. Bortles v Luck - that ain't happening again!

Interesting to see what happens, not sure I'll be renewing my season ticket as I don't fancy 2 trips to London in 7 days to see the Jags twice.

Unless its the Steelers then I'm there, but as Blackpoolsfinest has said, the Bears and Steelers are the two games they can keep over that side of the pond.
 
I woke up with Super Bowl heartbreak and only then realised the season was over. Then I thought "at least it's draft season." Then I remembered we only have one pick before the 5th round. Because we went all out to win the Super Bowl.

Sport is not being kind to me at the mo.

And not much cap space either.....
 
Never mind NFL - We have the phenomenal XFL back at the weekend after 19 years! To be fair to Vince McMahon this looks a lot more interesting for springtime American football than previous failed attempts. 8 teams Nationwide and some monumental venues. He's allegedly spent $500 million to get this right this time. And to be fair some of the internet aficionados are quite excited about some of the rule changes in this format.

Some mock drafts have them taking Tua, if he's fully healed he could be a steal at 5.

Alternatively he could be a bust at 5 if he is on and off the treatment table his whole career. With three first round picks hopefully the Dolphins can get back to being a conternder after years in the doldrums.
