Well after a breathless Super Bowl brings the NFL to a close until September, the next big event will be the draft, which should be rather exciting. So who will go first RGIII or Andrew Luck or an outsider like Trent Richardson or LaMichael James.

I have nothing to look foward to about the draft.

Our current highest pick is a 5th rounder, and will probably end up being a compensatory 3rd rounder for Asomugha, or in other words roughly the 100th pick.

Yawn.

[Mr. Brightside]

We're 16th in the first round so I am hoping we take James or Richardson if available.

It's the same time as last year!

27th and 31st in the first round and 49 and 63 in the second round.

Needs for the Pats are:

General Manager
Defensive Co-ordinator
Big bodied WR
Pass Rushing OLB/DE
Safety

GM - Belichick is de facto GM and it isn't working. The past few drafts apart from 2010 have been shambolic. Half the players he picked aren't on the team.
DC - Too late to hire someone but Belichick may take more control in the D and leaving McDaniels with the O.
Big WR - Michael Floyd or Alson Jeffrey. No chance that Blackmon falls enough for a trade up. Or someone from FA.
OLB/DE - Courtney Upshaw please.
Safety - Mark Barron from Bama would be a nice addition to Chung.

[Mr. Brightside]

We need a couple of O-linemen, a WR and possibly a CB.

When does the new season officially start ?

Only bad thing about the SB marks the end of the season.

Never mind, Superdome Black and Gold next year.

We don't need upgraded anywhere.......

Cause we Champions!!!!!!

[Mo Wonderboy]

I don't think LaMichael James will be a first round pick let alone ever have a shot at being #1.

For the Broncos I would say our major needs are DT, CB, RB and MLB. With other needs at DE, QB, WR and TE. Been doing quite a bit of scouring mocks and highlights of college players lately (the bonus of work having massive back history of videos). With our first round pick I want someone like Janoris Jenkins, Michael Brockers, Fletcher Cox or Jerel Worthy. Jenkins is IMO a top 5 talent that is going to slip because of character issues, Brockers might be gone before 25 but would be an outstanding pick for whoever gets him. Cox and Worthy are pretty much both penetrating UT's who would fill a major need. In the 2nd I want Doug Martin or Vontaze Burfict. Martin is going to be an absolute beast IMO and is the #2 RB in the draft and actually isn't too far off T-Rich. Burfict is a strange one, high risk high reward type pick in that he has all the talent under the sun but is supposedly an absolute dick. From the later rounds the only player I really want is Chris Rainey from the Gators to play a Percy Harvin type role; Slot, RB, returns and go routes. Is slated to go about the 5th but I think he will shoot up to around the 3rd after the combine (claims he wants to run a 4.1 dash!!!) and after his excellent Senior Bowl performance.

The only team to sweep the Champions need a quality QB somehow, be it from free agency (Manning) or the draft (RG3?)

Personally I would like to draft a QB and maybe even a decent WR but knowing the Redskins we'll pay someone silly money to come for a few months before disappearing again.

Bought my ticket for Wemblee - 5th year attend out of the 6. Just off to the side at the end zone for the third time, good view from up there.

After a year out I'm hoping that the tailgate is a lot better.

Add in a decent pass rusher.

[Mo Wonderboy]

Even though the Colts won't trade the pick what would you be willing to give up to trade up for Luck for your team (unless you feel you already have a franchise QB)?

I would give up two 1st's, two 2nd's and this years 3rd. Still don't think it would be enough though.

I went for the upper corners again, block 509

do you have to get tickets for the tailgate?

[lichtie23]

I would like to see us upgrade are O-Line as it just looks old now. If Osi go's then another pass rusher would be needed and maybe a decent LB in free agency

I'm in 510, cracking overview from up there.

Last couple of years the tailgate has been free and only really useful for free gatorade.

Well that sucks, the last time I was at Wembley I thought it looked quite good but i'll probably just stay in the centre before the game

Scratch that, they'll be mid first round picks so can see them gone and won't BB trade up that far. So I can possibly see Stephen Hill from Georgia Tech in the 2nd round. 6'5 and 205lbs, perfect size for going deep.

He could maybe do this:

Apparently Big Ben ain't to happy about it. He wanted his QB coach promoted

[discopants]

Just saw a couple of Mock Drafts that the Seahawks would take either Brandon Weeden (Oklahoma State) with #12 pick or Ryan Tannehill (Texas A&M) in the 2nd round. They should go for Weeden, possible steal with Mike Williams and Sidney Rice as his receivers and a possible RB (think Lynch is a FA?).

[discopants]

Saw on Twitter from an NFL Draft scout.

Quote

#Steelers a projected $29M over cap. Combined with aging, slowing defense = lowered expectations in 2012.

I fucking love Marshawn Lynch. Seahawks will have a winning season next year if they keep hold of him.

Any other big players that are FA's?
