Guy can play too!
Wait, we drafted him?
Let's just hope he doesn't look up to Peterson TOO much.
Don't worry, Peterson will whoop his ass if he doesn't work hard.
Christian Hackenburg is super not good.
I like the Spriggs pick more than Kenny.
Who's done well so far then do you guys reckon?
On paper the Jaguars, Rams, Chargers, Browns and Bengals had a solid draft.
The Jaguars did well in free agency as well if I remember right.
Insane draft for the Vikings so far.
Yeah, their roster looks genuinely impressive. Their offense was scoring for fun last season and now their defensive minded coach has the defensive elements to build a playoff team. But that's only paper.
Malik Jackson included. Twats.
Interesting move by the Raiders to trade up and get Conor Cook.. We already have Mcloin as a backup.
Didn't make any real sense to me that trade for Cook. Equally, he's got to be a bit gutted having been possibly projected to go round 1 / 2 and then dropping to 4 before then becoming a backup to Carr for the next few years.
Very cool that a guy went straight to the NFL from the German league.
Add on how he got into the game and where he got drafted and it's a nice little story eh.
I also don't understand the Cook pick by the raiders. Very strange. Only thing I can think of is that they're going to use him as currency in 2/3 years?
They can just trade him to the Jets when the Jets realize how terrible Hackenberg is.
Surely the Browns winning the Super Bowl next year would come a lot closer than 5000/1 vs 200/1? I know Leicester were relegation favourites but 5000/1 seems crazy if you compare it to other odds out there.
Not really, the numbers are greatly diminished as the Browns only have to do better than 3 other teams in their section to get into the playoffs(they may not even need a winning season), and that's not counting wildcards. After that it's only a few games and anything can happen in the playoffs(in theory).
But it's the Browns...
Seriously though, you're probably right about the fact that they have to do it over a shorter period of time and only need to win 3 or 4 games once they're in the playoffs. Still, they haven't had a winning season since 2007 and only one season with more than 5 wins in that span. I also think one of the Packers and Vikings, if not both, will still reach around 10 wins.
Aye, I don't really think it's even slightly possible, but when you factor in small seasons and maybe their draft picks turn out insane and they go on a tear.
To be fair, I'd have guessed bigger than 200/1 too.
200/1 seems low, but also have to consider this:
14 teams have won the Super Bowl since the PL began.
Over 20 teams have made the Super Bowl since the PL began.
Leicester are only the 6th team to ever win the PL.
I.e more than half the franchises have made the Super Bowl.
Add in also:
- Structure of the league as pointed out above.
- Number of games.
- The set up which promotes worse teams to benefit most from recruitment.
- Ability to swing performance year on year (panthers went from losing record to 15-1 and to Super Bowl).
Also have to think of it as OK, 200-1 implies that all things consistent, the Browns would win the superbowl once in 200 attempts. It's obviously difficult to determine if 200 is right but I'd say it's probably not that far off.

The Packers and Vikings don't have anything to do with the Browns reaching the playoffs.
Urgh, my mistake. Still, Steelers en Bengals are quite similar to them.
Not to mention the Ravens - they had an off year last time around, there is no way they will be as bad this time. They also lost so many games by such short margins.
I actually think the AFC North is much stronger than the NFC North. Only really the packers are the standout team; Vikings aren't bad, but they're not on the level of the Bengals or Steelers. I'd say they are very much similar to the Ravens.
The Vikings have a shutdown defense, they are more than not bad while the packers relies on Rodgers way too much.
25/1 for the Vikings to win the Super Bowl this year. Definitely a good outside bet.
Steelers seem to be have good SB winning odds!
Suppose they did so well without Bell Ben Brown at various points and often at the same time that they are essentially linking the odds to the likeliness that their injury situation won't be as bad.
It's a lame ass division tbh and they have a good chance of winning it. Probably a 3 to 5 in their conf after Pats and Broncos. I'd rate Panthers, Cards, Vikings and Packers ahead of them in the overall too. Minimal chance of winning SB51 in all honesty!

This is very cool, Raiders 2010 draft notes. Load all pictures.
Also, wow, a lot of good players in that draft.

That's cool. Even Raiders scouts couldn't fu*k some of them up.
Eerily accurate: Demaryius Thomas- Inconsistent effort. Plays when he wants to.
I love that they had Tebow as a 6th round pick.
Awful news about Greg Bryant. Seemed like he was a big part of UAB's program next year.
Am seeing all these articles pop up about rookie players signing deals such as Wentz just now and Tunsil earlier to name a few.
I don't really understand how this works? Anyone can shed some light? As far as I was aware each pick has a set salary etc... So what am I missing that it's taking so long for these guys to sign up?
