That looks badass.

Also, Revis should not be getting QB money.

NFL Draft tonight ...

Two UK prospects in the ranks and expected to find teams ... Menelik Watson and Lawrence Okoye.

Articles for both are here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/american-football/21961331 and http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/athletics/21988774

Oh and the long awaited Mike Mayock Draft List has come: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/mock-drafts/mike-mayock/171006

I knew about Okoye but not this lad from Manchester, very intrigued to see where the go. Would not be shocked to see the Jags pick one just to help their new relationship with the UK.

That mock Saints first rounder (Barkevious Mingo) has the best name in sports, relplacing Chilliboy Rallepelle

Watson has gone under the radar. Reckon he will get drafted fairly high ... for Okoye he is likely to be a late rounder. Going to interesting but good for the UK game.

To get a good idea what goes on behind the scenes for the potential players and their families watch

Late Rounders
Two Days In April

Both fascinating to see the work and dedication these guys put in but the chaos and nerves they go through on these drafts

Draft Day!!! My Seahawks have no first round pick (went to Minnesota together with 2 other picks in exchange for Percy Harvin) but they seem to find their talents in the later rounds. I hope they can find a gem or two this year again!

I swear if Jesse Williams (NT/DT from Alabama) from Australia is drafted high - the Australian version of ESPN we get here is gonna go ****ing berserk with Aussies abroad etc running ads/shows about how he's the next HoFer or whatever. ****ing hard to watch as it is with all the dick sucking they get!

What story with Manti Teo?
Also any word on Giants targets

Teo to the Bears has emerged in the last 20 mins. Be interesting to see if that's the case. Teo is watching the draft from Hawaii apparently.

Giants likely to look at an OT when they are on the clock. Justin Pugh seems to be that man.

I've heard an odd one, Jets to trade up to get QB Geno Smith out of West Virginia

Can't see it meself

 

[munstermuffin]

Will be interesting move, Bears are 1 of them franchises I can see that when they click they'll be a force. Still have doubts about Cutler though. Giants need to fill few spots in my opinion.

Cutler's fine. They just need an offensive line that can keep him upright for more than a second.

Cutler is fine, but not a Superbowl winning QB. Although, they said the same about Flacco

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Pats are looking to shop Ryan Mallett for some picks ... knowing Belichick he is looking to pick up a few middle round picks, of which the Pats have little or nothing of them.

 

[LittleGuy]

Bills will almost certainly pick up a QB, I hope they don't go with Smith, he won't be a good fit with the Bills offence.

 

[SelimNiai]

Sky did interview with the Brit Mekelik Watson, good talker but says "you know what I mean" every other sentence. Slightly irritating

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Eric Fisher is this years first pick. Gone to Kansas.

 

[admartian]

When MIA traded up, I thought it would be Lane Johnson to replace Jake Long to protect Tannehill. But Dion Jordan is still a good pick for a team that is the same division as Brady.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Seems that Miami are in for a trade for Alberts.
