Giants are guaranteed one of the top qbs. Perfect timing for them. Rosen said he doesn't want to go to the Browns. Darnold is 50/50 whether he comes out. I'd rather see the Giants end up with Darnold, he has a limited ceiling and has slightly above average qb written all over him.

Indy has pick #3 with Luck coming back, Gore is ancient and Mack is average. They put Barkley in their backfield and they could be legit.

I really don't see RB as a top 5 need for the Colts. They have holes all over the place. Gore has not really been a problem, but he probably won't be a Colt next season.

There's still a decent case for drafting Barkley if they see him as a transformative player, but #3 is high for an RB in today's NFL, especially when the rest of your roster is as disastrous as the Colts'. I don't think having a top RB would be enough to turn around that mess.

Seems like the Bengals aren't firing Marvin Lewis, but if he can't get more power in the organization, he might bail.

Just an embarrassing franchise.

Not nearly as embarrassing as the Eagles. Dumpster fire. Move the team to San Diego.

I'm not an advocate of taking an rb in the first round. But there are exceptions, Gurley is a special player, Fournette is too, Zeke yes but less so...all definitely deserved to be top 10 picks. My personal opinion is Gurley is the most talented rb in the league. Gurley is the best player to come out of the 2015 draft class by a long shot regardless of position. Barkley is probably the best rb prospect since AP...I'd actually rank Barkley higher. The Colts need o line help but I can't see passing up a generational talent like Barkley.

Gruden to coach the raiders again.

The more candidates I see getting interviews the less likely I see Schwartz leaving.

QB Eagles · January 01, 2018, 07:47:56 PM

Ted Thompson OUT as the GM of the Packers.

PhillyPhreak54 · January 01, 2018, 08:09:55 PM

It's aboit time they shipped Thompson out

His approach to free agency has been awful

I'm surprised the Gruden to Raiders thing actually went down....was certain it was all stupid talk

Marv's back on a two year deal.

lol

Diomedes · January 02, 2018, 10:02:35 PM

I don't understand what happened there. Haven't tried to though. Perhaps there's a good explanation for all that.

PhillyPhreak54 · January 03, 2018, 12:24:06 AM

Mike Brown is the explanation. He's a wackadoo and cheap.

Marv knows he's not gonna be a HC elsewhere so he stays

QB Eagles · January 03, 2018, 01:56:37 AM

I actually don't think Marv is a particularly horrible coach, but there's no way he should be back in Cincy.

At some point, it's just time for both parties to move on. It's an even more extreme version of the situation between Reid and the Eagles after more than a decade. Cincy fans online seem suicidal today. Keeping him for two more years is farging malicious toward the team's fans.

Sgt PSN · January 03, 2018, 02:28:37 AM

He might not be particularly horrible, but he ain't particularly good either. 15 years, 0 playoff wins. And on top of that, they've only made the playoffs 7 times in 15 seasons. And it's not like they're ever considered legit SB contenders. Only 6 seasons with 10 or more wins. In 15 years? That's garbage.
