Guess what's in one week? The NFL Draft. FINALLY!

BBfanUSA 08-05-2014 02:26 PM

First round of the draft tonight.

I predict that Houston will draft Johnny Manzel tonight as the first pick.

MTVN 08-05-2014 03:14 PM

First round is live on Sky for us from midnight, not hugely exciting from a Bronco stand point but I'll try and stay up for our pick

BBfanUSA 08-05-2014 07:13 PM

Oh, the two channels in the US that will be broadcasting the draft this year. (ESPN and NFL Network) will not be spoiling the picks before they're revealed by commissioner Goodell.

So if you want to know the picks before they're revealed, you're going to have to turn to CBS' people.

Not sure if Sky has some people that will.

MTVN 08-05-2014 07:16 PM

Think we get the NFL Network feed so guess we wont have them spoiled, prefer that

Never watched the draft before, Will have to get onto the NFL UK forums tonight to catch up with everything and read about how it all works, fingers crossed its similar to the NBA draft.

Drew. 08-05-2014 09:17 PM

Still haven't decided on which team to properly follow, it's impossible to pick when you've got no connections with America :think:

Drew. 08-05-2014 11:24 PM

Right then, hopefully this doesn't confuse me too much

MTVN 08-05-2014 11:29 PM

Nah its pretty straightforward really, not sure what the NBA one is like but its pretty easy to pick up the process here

Only thing is I don't follow college at all so have no idea who the best players are

Drew. 08-05-2014 11:31 PM

Yeah thats the annoying thing.. So many more players in the NFL to the NBA it's really hard to know who is who. Its easy to remember who the best players are going into an NBA draft.

Brother Leon 08-05-2014 11:32 PM

Johnny Manziel for #1. No one else do I know :idc:

Drew. 08-05-2014 11:33 PM

Kept seeing his name bought up on the NFL UK forums, the only name i can remember.

Mock draft I saw yesterday didn't have him going till 16 with the Cowboys, that would be surprising though since he'll surely be the first QB to go

Texans might go defense with Jadevon Clowney first pick instead

BBfanUSA 08-05-2014 11:38 PM

Jadevon Clowney is the guy who knocked a college player's helmet off and picked up a fumble in the same play.

And yes, a player has the name of Ha Ha Clinton Dix

Drew. 08-05-2014 11:38 PM

#NFLDraft2014 one of the top UK trends, good to see the popularity of NFL growing.

Drew. 08-05-2014 11:39 PM

I'm ready

BBfanUSA 08-05-2014 11:42 PM

Do you think we can get enough people for a TiBB Fantasy League up and going for the NFL?

Drew. 08-05-2014 11:57 PM

I'd be up for it

MTVN 09-05-2014 12:03 AM

Could give it a go, we might be able to get an 8 team league together or something

MTVN 09-05-2014 12:15 AM

Absolute beast of a guy

Drew. 09-05-2014 12:17 AM

Howd they get that shirt printed so quick :think:

They have them printed out in advance.

They seriously have them for every team for every player invited to show up. Just in case.

Drew. 09-05-2014 12:23 AM

Bet they've cocked that up a few times in the past and brang the wrong shirt out

BBfanUSA 09-05-2014 12:24 AM

It wouldn't surprise me.

They also have a shirt for the final pick in the last round. They don't have a player's name on it but on the back it says Mr. Irrelevant.

I think they get a trip and some things too for being the last pick.
