One thing is certain there will be a lot of excitement surrounding the Dallas Cowboys today and where this franchise is headed in the future.
“It’s fantastic. It’s a blessing”, said Ward of being drafted by his hometown team.
It’s been 35 years to the day that the Bills drafted Jim Kelly. And this is why we did it-for this moment.
Schefter reports there is a “mounting belief” from National Football League head coaches and general managers that the Browns will pick Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield with their first pick.
But the Giants could also use the No. 2 pick to take a quarterback as the heir apparent to Eli Manning, who will turn 38 during the 2018 season. Quarterback Baker Mayfield announced in March that he signed with Nike, and today, Adidas announced it added a number of prospects to its roster including defensive ends Minkah Fitzpatrick and Bradley Chubb.
In Ward, the Browns got a lockdown cornerback who entered the NFL Draft after three years at Ohio State.
Plenty of top quarterbacks are available: USC’s Sam Darnold, Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, UCLA’s Josh Rosen and Wyoming’s Josh Allen.
There are a ton of avenues McKenzie and Gruden could go down in the first round, and the addition of another quality offensive lineman would certainly aid quarterback Derek Carr. GM Brandon Beane is ready address other positional needs if that’s the way the board falls. No, we improved our draft position. “We gave each team 50 tickets and the player will come over to that section to be welcomed after they are drafted”.
McCloughan, in a radio interview in February for On the Cecil & Pritchard show on 104.3 The Fan, said Mayfield was his man and reminded him of Brett Favre, with whom he had spent six years in Green Bay. He earned everything he got, and to finish his career the last two years by setting the NCAA pass efficiency record both seasons is just incredible. The New York Jets go third, followed by the Browns and Denver Broncos. Who would argue with that deal?
Last year’s draft resulted in a projected $56.1 million in direct spending on hotels, restaurants, bars and retail shops in the Philadelphia area, according to Temple University’s Sport Industry Research Center.
It will be tough to ignore the draft for TV viewers the next three days. With that in mind, here are some predictions for how tonight and extensively the draft will go.
