    I would have took Lamar Jackson, i cannot see Tannehill finish this season. We will end up with Kaep!

    Jaguars going with some explosive, athletic, angry and hard-hitting talent. Sacksonville won't be a one-season wonder, they're drafting for a dominant defense to be there for another decade.

    I’m over the moon with that and the full draft. We had needs, we’ve covered them.

    Lamar Jackson is exciting, a rare talent who could be huge in the league... but could be a bust as any drafted player could!

    Jackson will be a bust as an NFL quarterback. I'm quite confident about that. Even if he's not, I don't like Michael Vick/Tyrod Taylor/Colin Kaepernick type QB's. The Ravens will need to completely refashion their offense for Jackson to have a chance of working out. Not keen on that idea either.

    I would have liked our first round better if we'd just gone by the book and drafted Tremaine Edmunds at #16. Pairing him up with CJ Mosley at the heart of our Defense would have been nice.

    Yeh I’m certainly not overly keen on reshaping the entire offense. But Jackson is exciting and he will have success, just doubt it will be super bowl success or at the Ravens.

    Just finished the Cowboys All or Nothing on Amazon Prime.

    A really good watch, like it always is and has actually made me change my mind on a few of their coaches/players.

    Dez Bryant is a * though and if you watch it you'll realise why he's yet to sign with anyone.

    They are allowed to stay in the locker room if they want.

    Anthem worship is the worst bit of any American sport.

    It’s bigger than the sport, it’s American culture.

    I'd say its the worst aspect of American culture but I'm not sure that's fair.

    Just googled the words to the anthem as I’ve genuinely never known what they really were.

    The bombs bursting in air

    Cool

    To be fair the whole Anthem bit only really took off after 9/11, before then it was mainly just baseball that did it out of tradition the started first at the end of WW1 and then was revived during WW2, the whole thing was not nearly as overwhelming until after 9/11 when what started as an innocent way to honor the victims of a tragedy turned into and weird sacrosanct overnight tradition.

    I don't get the love of the anthem and flag ....... Guys, one's just a song (a pretty crappy one at that), and the other is just a bit of cloth.
