The NFL UK twitter account is hilarious with the Z list celebrities it retweets. Anthony Pilkington, Stephen Miller and Nick Knowles among tonight's superstar endorsements.

I was in the audience for the Late Late Show a couple of years ago and got a few on screen appearances, going to see if I can help them push their product.

Had to google all of those. One of them a google didn't even get the right chap on the front page (there's a Stephen Miller working in the Trump cabinet apparently).

Again, another one spurts out this line.

Why shouldn't he get another year? When he came in they had just had one of their worst seasons ever. He certainly turned the ship around from there and while it hasn't been awesome it hasn't been brutal either. It would just take a good draft to get them back on track. Their draft process and trading is what has to be questioned imo. I don't think that's all on the coach.

I'm not complaining, long may the Colts continue their mediocrity.

So I see Big Ben has not commited to coming back next season. Now maybe he's allowed at this stage of his career to take his time.

But I don't think the steelers were expecting to hear that statement

He'd be a huge loss to the Packers; picking up the next franchise QB is tough to do.
But it can be a long off-season. Time away can make you hungry for the game, so I'd be very surprised if he left.

Romo to the Steelers rumours abound now....

That guy on NFL Network who's name I can't pronounce is reporting that the Steelers are a bit concerned over Antonio Brown, who apparently values personal stats and glory over team success.

Might be nothing in it, but it's a contract year and it's a reputable source. Tomlin's hard line over the Facebook incident might have had more to it than a one-off offence.

The report mentions he was less than happy after DeAngelo Williams' touchdown on Sunday as he wanted the target. Can't say I noticed it myself.

If i was antonio brown in that team I'd be the same, He is the real playmaker that is looking for a mega contract that he deserves, they will pay him as little as they can

Great job by the Browns signing Jamie Collins finally someone they can build their defense around.

Him with Myles Garrett in the draft

It's the browns though so they'll both get injured in pee season

Are we certain they're picking Garrett? I was hoping they might want to blow the pick on a bad QB, as per their standard operating procedure, and let Garrett fall to about...oh, let's say, third or thereabouts.

Jeremiah just did three round mock draft on NFL site and gave them Deshaun Watson,Garrett went two and trubisky three I believe

Jonathan allens nearly as good in fairness and I think Reuben foster should be up there also he looks like a monster from what I've seen so far (and I've looked at no safteys apparently this is an all time safety class) this could be the best defensive draft we've seen in years at the top

I dunno if Allen fits the bears 3-4 scheme necessarily (I mean I genuinely don't know, not that I'm casting doubt on the possibility), but if they pick him then I trust them because he does seem to be really, really good. The safety class is supposed to be very deep but that's precisely why I don't want us to pick one in the first round. Anyway, if you're picking third, a safety better be pretty damn phenomenal to warrant going that high. Polamalu level phenomenal.

Potential for two safety's in top 10

I believe Jamal Adams is nailed on and one of the Tabors is the other

Bit it's a deep class for
Corners
Safety's
Edge rushers


Senior bowl this week and things will change a bit then more change after the combine.

This tine last year tunsil was #1 on everyone's board but said to 15 on the night. The bong picture didn't help but players slide.

Jabrill Peppers is also expected to go early at safety. Watched him a couple of times this year and he seemed great but from reading around a bit a lot of people think he's a bit of a jack of all trades. And we all know what that means.

He's exactly the type of player who'll drop as he's a hybrid player without a definite position and could fall right into belichicks lap.

I was listening to the cowboys draft show and they suggested peppers is a running back.

Do any of your teams media people have a draft discussion show

Yeah there are good and bad ones, the only problem is the only thing anyone is discussing is1) "will we draft a QB?" and the related question 2) "are any of these QBs worth the high pick?" General consensus being 1) yes and 2) no. There's only so much of that you can listen to before switching off.

I think the guys on our media do a really good job and they don't discuss just cowboys possible picks although it's strongly weighted towards the cowboys. They tend to discuss each side of the ball,what teams wants and needs are. They're at the senior bowl this week with a one hour show each day

He would likely fit at end in a 3-4 he's undersized for a 3-4 nose but teams seem to be coming around to smaller players at nose now Bennie Logan played well and he's not a patch on Allen

I think I'll apply for the 49ers GM position. Nice weather, free into all the games, I might even move in Baalke's old place in San Jose. Going for a snip at under $3.3m.

I'll just draft whoever the boards mock draft suggests. What could possibly go wrong!
