Come on Miami Dolphins, do something right for once. Win all your games, or lose them all and get better draft pick next season.

I'll give him three years and it'll likely ends with Browns fans thinking it's all Manziel's fault and cheers when he gets injured because the Browns offensive line outside of that one guy couldn't block to save themselves.

Also, teams probably looked at the guy's height and passed because he's "too short".

That sort of outdated stupid shit that led to Brees getting drafted in the second round and Russell Wilson in third.

Surprised by Buffalo making the big trade to move up and get Watkins. I hope in pans out since I don't feel we paid too steep a price for the pick.

I'm hoping at the very least it'll lead to more attention for the NFL teams in Ohio with the media circus that's sure to follow Manziel. I kinda hoped the Bengals would pick him up somehow, but obviously Cleveland wasn't about to let that happen with all of their wheeling and dealing during the first round.

With that said, I approve of Cincy picking up Darqueze Dennard. The team needed a younger cornerback within the roster and they got a damn good one in Dennard. Nothing super sexy, but moves like this are good. I look forward to seeing what the team does in the later rounds of the draft.

Also, I'm a bit shocked that the Vikings took Seattle's first round pick to pick up Teddy Bridgewater from Louisville. I know they're looking for a QB, but I didn't think they needed to hit the panic button on the first night. Maybe I'm just out of the loop on this one, though.

I'm excited to hear that they're reforming after all these years but I'm just wondering how the older material will sound performed now.

Oh, there will be attention, but I got to imagine that a lot of the attention will be mixed at best and completely disastrous at worst when it comes to Johnny Manziel in Cleveland. Considering that the Browns have a history of torpedoing QBs since they came back into the league, it's hard not to image that history will repeat itself. Obviously, if they were hard up for Manziel, they should've drafted him with the 9th overall pick instead of reshuffling picks and reaching for Justin Gilbert.

Frankly, Manziel should've been drafted within the first 8 picks, not sink to 22 with a team that will self-destruct every few years.

This simply screams Tim Tebow, and unlike in Denver where at the time, the AFC West was dismally pathetic, the AFC North is loaded with contenders like the Bengals, Ravens and Steelers, and they aren't ready to give the division away to a team that isn't committed to winning.


Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.

jff was probably my third QB behind bridgewater and bortles, and i'd snap take any of clowney/mack/watkins/robinson/matthews/evans ahead of any QB.

if i was a vikings fan i would be delighted with this, and i'm fucking furious that oakland didn't trade up to do the same

The Bengals got Alabama's AJ McCarron.

I don't know why, but this is very exciting to me. I hope this leads to some good things happening in the future for the Bengals.

Seriously, what a douche nozzle. He played so well when he was on the field, too. Hopefully Stevie Brown gets back to health. I don't think that Taylor kid they drafted last year can be an every-down safety.

Here's the newly released logo for Super Bowl L (excuse me, Super Bowl 5-0). They're using arabic numerals just for SB 50, because the roman numeral for 50 is 'L.' Pretty fuckin' dumb if you ask me.

The voters did the same thing a year before with Boomer being the dumbass he is, claims that he's not as good as Jason Taylor.

This should tell you something, as well as the shit Sapp spewed until Strahan was voted in. I even wrote a short fanfic where Kenshiro kills Warren Sapp.

Welp, looks like the Bengals are keeping Andy Dalton around for a while...

While I would have tried waiting until after this season to sign him to a new deal, I can't say that I'm terribly surprised by this. I'm hoping this means that AJ Green will be getting a nice contract soon. As easy as it would be to hate on the Bengals for doing this, the man has taken us to three straight playoffs...but shit the bed in every playoff game. I dunno.

He's not good enough. I like him and all but the fact is he is not a superbowl winning quarterback; he's not even a playoff winning quarterback. He gets the job done in the regular season sure but he's a liability with the turnovers he commits in big games. I understand why Cincy wants to keep him though because he's certainly better than the alternative but it's gotta sting for any fan who knows that, as he is now, it's just gonna be year after year of disappointment.

Speaking of annual disappointment EJ Manuel went 2-9 against the Giants in a preseason game

SICK!!!

Will the Miami Dolphins finally have a decent season again? It looks like will not be able to win the super bowl, so at least they should have a losing season for a great draft pick.

It was inevitable that he would get a huge contract, and considering that it's mostly front-loaded, the other key players will get their money as well very soon. The 0-3 record in the playoffs is unnerving, but at least in the regular season, he's been very productive, has some quality wins under his belt, and the team is simply too good (albeit not as deep) not to succeed.

Equal or even lesser QBs compared to Dalton have won playoff games (Denver Broncos under Tebow, Seattle in the 2010 playoffs) and even won the Super Bowl (last year's Seahawks as an example) in recent memory, so basically from this point forward, there is no excuse for either the Bengals or Dalton not to advance deep in the playoffs, considering how putrid the AFC is beyond Denver and New England.

Signed up for the pickem, but given my timezone and work on Monday I think a late night draft may be unwise!
