Tenth spot on the draft. Think it's only fair to be honest as think I has the #1 or 2 pick last time out.

 

[Stagat]

10 minutes after the draft I've waived my kicker after finding out his real team are gonna waive him in real life

 

[kieran_vale]

Projected for a 6-7 season. So I drafted well then

 

[TheHatterII]

Projected 11-2 and to finish first, then again it said that last year and I finished almost last.

 

[Stagat]

The headline doesn't really match the projected record I think.

 

[.V.]

Projected to finish 9-4. I’ve no idea how they reach their conclusions, they’ve not been accurate for me ever.

 

[KevinMcallister]

i feel ive drafted decently, was hoping for a few i missed out on by a few picks but nothing majorly disappointing

 

[KevinMcallister]

im projected 3-10 so the league doesnt agree, classic kiv

man i cant wait for thursday nights kick off, excited to see the chiefs in action and get to see early if my gamble on Helaire was right

So glad football is back tonight. Kyle Brandt predicting the Steelers to win the Super Bowl on GMFB today makes me feel like our season is already jinxed.

KC returning 18 starters this year cannot be understated, with the other three teams in the division suffering from injuries/big losses/mediocrity, they’ll understandably be favourites to go back-to-back.

The NFC is a complete landmine, half of the teams have legitimate Super Bowl ambitions. I’m not sold on New Orleans or Tampa Bay - as a hunch, I’ve got either Minnesota or Seattle winning the NFC.

 

[kieran_vale]

Looking forward to tonight. KC are obviously big favourites but with no preseason and only limited reps in training camp am expecting the first few rounds of games to be quite messy affairs all round.

AFC wise it’s hard to see past KC and Baltimore. They’re the class of the conference now. After that I think the Titans should repeat winning their division, big question is whether Tannehills run at the end of last year was a fluke or not. All of which leaves the AFC East and I genuinely have no idea who is favoured in that. The Bills a lot of people like with good reason but it is also asking me to put faith in Josh Allen he hasn’t really earned yet. The Pats are looking at a rebuild but no BB led team will ever just give in. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Fins crept on the outside and took it themselves.

NFC I really like the Seahawks and Cowboys. I’m not sold on Tampa either, they got some crazy skill position players but they are about to discover Bradys decline is real and that O-Line is still questionable. Don’t be surprised if Aaron Rodgers has a big FU tour to his front office also this year and guides the Packers deep into the post-season.

Don't know about Seahawks mainly due to Nfc West looks like a complete bloodbath So I can see them being in a bad spot Playoff wise.

 

[Craig]

Just a little bit excited.

Just a little bit excited.

Sitting in eager anticipation of DeShaun and Tyreek setting me off on the road to fantasy glory tonight. Or more likely they’ll both lay an egg and will be a long struggle ahead.

 

[Craig]

Booked tomorrow off work and putting the nachos in the oven in a bit. Really fancy us tonight hoping for a good game but TNF ya know.

 

[kieran_vale]

Aye I'd be confident tonight also. Texans have some serious playmakers but for as long as BOB is coaching and GM'ing that team they will always be trying to compete with the proverbial one arm tied behind their backs. It's incredible he still has a job at all to be honest.

The KC defence will be interesting to watch tonight as they certainly picked up towards the end of last season so will see if those improvements continue.

 

[Aberstone]

Well then...

Edwards-Helaire can shift a bit from what have seen on this drive. Could prove to be a really good draft pick from KC.

First proper look at him with no pre-season. He’s fecking tiny.

 

[Craig]

Best TE in the league, don’t @ me.

 

[kieran_vale]

Aye, his skill-set really compliments this offence based on what have seen so far.

Deshaun has looked ok so far. Don't agree with that decision to punt on the 50, should really be rolling the dice there which you know Reid would have done if it was the opposite way around. Shame for Deshaun he may not win what he should in his career because of substandard coaching.

 

[KevinMcallister]

So who wants to trade me for helaire and wildcard pick Watkins

I think I've made a good choice if this continues

 

[kieran_vale]

That Texans receiving corp is looking really diminished without Hopkins. Just as well Houston managed to get that all important 2nd rounder for an all world receiver though.

At least you left Watkins on the bench!

Edwards-Helaire looks the business, this offense is properly scary.

Not like me to jump the gun... oh

Edit: The Chiefs O-Line really hasn’t missed a beat.

It's meant to be another pretty good draft for Wideout's shame they don't have a 1st so they won't be in line for the likes of Ja'marr Chase or Jaylen Waddle but trading away Hopkins for as little as they did was insanely dumb

 

[KevinMcallister]

Red zone is the best for Sunday's!!

 

[KevinMcallister]

What a catch from mark andrews

 

[kieran_vale]

So bizarre seeing the Pats bust out the read option plays. And I have to say we’ve looked pretty sweet doing it.

 

[KevinMcallister]

Falcons as good as usual
