I wouldn't be shocked if the best WR in the draft is picked in the 2nd round but at the end of the day you still have to trust your scouts and the film and take the best player on your board. The two arguably top WR's in the league in Hopkins and Jones were both high first round picks so as with QB's I still think you need to swing big if you are in search of a franchise WR. It's also another reason Ruggs scares me as he's going to get drafted high based on world class speed and plenty of those guys bust.

If you read the scouting reports on Ruggs, he's much more than just a speed guy and has some pretty devastating route-running skills. I'm hoping he gets to the Eagles at 21 but it's looking for likely that they'll end up with one of the tier 2 guys.

The Chargers will look great in those jerseys. I find them both a bit retro and quite modern at the same time.

Was just about to post those Chargers ones, yeah those are dope. I like the numbers on the helmet, and the return of the LT era midnight blue as an alternate.

I wonder if the base uniform will be the kits with yellow pants or white pants...or just randomly rotate through the two.

The fact that we allowed a running back to take LT is like we let some random point guard take MJ. I have never and will never accept it.

The fact LT was arguably the most dominant player in NFL history despite consistently playing high on crack is crazy. He should never have had his nicknamed ripped.

Like I said before I realize he's more polished than DHB but he didn't have to run a lot of different routes in college. There's just more unknowns with him compared to receivers ranked lower as it's clear his speed is the main reason he's the 3rd ranked WR. If he's still around at 21 I expect the Eagles to take Jefferson. He could end up as the best WR in the draft.

Guess Gronk is going to be dropping the WWE 24/7 belt.

Tampa has to go all in with every move. They have maybe two years to make it.

I feel like they’ll be lucky to make the playoffs but all this will sell tickets and jerseys so they’re happy.

imagine putting money a couple of months ago on Brady and Gronk reuniting ... in Tampa. Wild.

will be interesting to see how he does. He looked shot physically in his last season, and after being out of football for a year ... we'll see. Hope they trade Howard now, he could still blossom somewhere else.

They're gonna keep Howard and Brate and establish 33 personnel with 3 TEs and 3WRs. #### running backs.

I imagine the Bucs are going to be primetime darlings on the upcoming TV schedule.

Is Tampa’s defence good enough to drag Brady to a Super Bowl like Denver’s did with Manning?

I mean if they didn't have record setting Winston going 30/30 they would have made it IMO. Or at least right on the bubble.

Led the league in passing and second in TD's.
