Louis Riddick of ESPN basically just projected Zeke to go in the top 4.

Love Zeke, think he's gonna be really good, but no way.

Yeah, I'd think teams would learn from the Browns' Trent Richardson "gaffe." Not saying Zeke is T-Rich but you don't burn a pick that high on a RB unless he's the next Barry Sanders or Adrian Peterson.

Not a chance in hell he goes that high. I bet he's the first back taken though.

Maybe late 1st?

I also agree, but Gurley puts a wrench in our opinion.

Yeah I think Zeke is going to be great and if he gets a chance to start right away he will be better than a lot of other backs in their first year. I could see a team in the 10-20 range taking him. I just don't see a team in the top 5 spending a pick on an RB unless Jerry Jones wants to go full blown stupid and take him. In which cased I'd be even more disappointed about then if they took a QB. I just want them to take Ramsey or Bosa with that pick lol.

Most mocks I've seen have him going 10th to the Giants.

Frankly, with the Browns needing a QB, I hope the Cowboys DO take Bosa so he doesn't fall to the Ravens.

Sounds like Jacksonville will adding Malik Jackson and Oakland will add Kelechi Osemele....

Can't say I'll shed a tear seeing a division opponent (Ravens) weakened.

Also think both of these teams (Raiders/Jags) have a chance to be significantly improved if their FA's pan out.

Looks like the Dolphins are competing to repeat as the FA Super Bowl Champs.

I think they tied with Philadelphia last year.

Too pricy but I like the move the Raiders are making to bring in Osemele. I think they will be fighting it out with KC for that division.

Pretty surprised that Baltimore let him go. He is a very good run blocker, and Flacco isn't shit without a run game.

Also, I still think the division is Denver's to lose. Losing Manning doesn't make them that much worse if most of their defense returns. I can see Denver taking the division, or it turns into a three team race if Oakland takes the next step. Oakland started off strong last year, but tapered off.

I think Baltimore will be in for some tough times. Don't see them rebounding from last year very quickly.

The reason I went with OAK/KC for that division is that I think Denver's going to lose a ton in FA. Elway went "all in" to win a ring and now they can't afford to keep a lot of these guys. I doubt it happens but they could lose their QB (Osweiler).

Marvin Jones getting a massive contract with Detroit, upwards of 8.5M a year. Not quite Megatron's replacement money, but close.

George Iloka staying in Cincinnati it appears.

Baltimore is one of the most efficient and best drafting organizations in the NFL. I never expect them to be down long.

Who was that poster that was a Ravens fan and always said he trusted whatever Ozzie did?

Just LOL at this...

It appears that the Falcons are the favorite to land Mohammed Sanu as their offer is over 7 million per year #Atlanta

That would put him in the top 20-25 paid WR range.
