NFL draft 2020

Wade’s Draft

by

Lockdown, shock down, WTF is going to happen to this season? Thankfully the NFL Draft is here to save us with entertainment, sports & hope.

As an NFL fan I have been blissfully unaware of many of the top NCAA prospects heading into this draft. Sure, I know some of the top 30, but after that it’s as hazy as what day it is.

Heading into this draft though, it looks like Joe ‘Exotic’ Tiger King is off to Cincy in the easiest call of the night.

Chase Young is the best player here, so the Redskins will snap him up to lead their pressure corp.

Detroit is 3rd, but I think Miami might be nervous about their choice & could make a desperate move to get their man…Justin Herbert.

NY Giants hit 4th, & need the best OT to protect their QB & Saquon’s pathways. Jeff Okuduh is their pick.

Detroit uses their Miami trade to take their CB pick Jeff Okuduh from Ohio State& a further round pick for good measure.

LA Chargers test Tyrod by taking Tua, & signalling their change to a running QB. Is he worth the risk? Time will tell.

Are you ready for the NFL draft?

Wade & Ryan break down all of the NFL news, look at some of the big trades, as well as look at some of the NFL Draft potential.
Granted, we haven’t paid as much attention to the NCAA, but we do have some thoughts on who, where, why & how.

We also pay tribute to our family who have lost. Our buddy Kevin McManus lost his father Pat tragically to Covoid-19 as a hero on the frontline.
We love you buddy, your family, and we are all thinking of you in this time.

To all of our other NFL in London family who have lost or are struggling, we are with you.
Please feel free to reach out to us to chat, or just vent.
We are all in this together.

Have a listen to our podcast prior to the draft.

What the Gronk?

by

As if the world wasn’t crazy enough with a virus, it seems that the Patriots are bleeding sick with talent.
First Brady bolts to the sunshine, then Gronk unretires and demands a trade to the Bucs.
What a time in Boston.
Patriots fans are in double shock and the rest of the NFL fans have a reason to smile through their facemasks.

It’s as sensational as Gronk itself, and the WWE contract ramifications make it interesting. Rob hasn’t played a full season for 9 years of healthiness, so it begs to see how much they will punish him.
How will he be able to be full Gronk in a season, if there is new season and how long it lasts.

The combination of the two will be enough to blow jersey sales and ticket sales out of the park, if there is indeed a way to watch the NFL in the new normal.
Fans will be captivated to see how the old gang can get together with some vicious speedsters, and a defence that was fast and furious.
Bruce Arians must be a very happy man right now.

The world will be watching Tampa next season, which must be nice for the Browns to not have the focus on them this season. Baker ain’t no TB12 though, so this will be an exciting division to watch.

So would you take Gronk as your first overall as a TE in fantasy next year? What about TB12?

Free Agent Fiesta

by

Tom Brady, make up your dang mind! Is what most teams are thinking as TB12 employs his reality tv skills to keep us on the edge of our seats.

Once the Tommy domino falls, loads of other players fall into place. So where do we think some of the top free agent QBs go? Here we go!

Tom Brady

He loves to be a tease! At the end of the day, Tommy’s a company man through & through & it’s doubtful he will piss off Boston fans, as much as the rest of us would revel in it. He’s too much of a Patriot to leave the team like that. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s only taking meetings so he can plant cameras in their offices.

Andy Dalton

The ginger bear is done with the Bengals, & many teams are looking to court him. He’s got an arm on him…but it sometimes just finds the D. The Bears rode the D all last year, & need to embrace the stark realities of the Mitch years. It’s like being diagnosed with an STD, & they need clean junk. Bengals will draft Joe, & the Bears should get Dalton for a good, short deal.

Marcus Mariota

Must have been tough to be Mariota last year. Watching the team you helped build go a long way on the back of Tannehill. The amount of locker room conversations with abrupt, silent endings must have been endless. He needs to go, but where? He’s going to need to pull a Tannehill & back that thing up, but where? If Cam is certainly back, how healthy will he be? They will need someone with legs & arms, which Mariota has, but for how long?

Phillip Rivers

Cry me a Phillip River, where does he go? All signs point to Indy, as Andrew Luck is outta time. Rivers would get an injection of hope in this role, & could easily lead this team back to contender status. The tools are there…for him to stuff it down the Chargers throats.

Jameis Winston

Jameis threw a bucketload of INTs last season, as well as a whack of TDs, so where does it all go? Brucey baby will probably bring him back for another shot given his new eye surgery. The players like him, the fans tolerate him, & they can probably get him for a steal.

Teddy Bridgewater

Teddy is done with sainthood & ready to christen the field once again. He’s a starter, & should be given the chance to do so. The Chargers offer the perfect home for this to happen. It’s also easy for him, since no one will be watching the games anyway.

Those are our predictions. What do we know though?
