Don't like comparisons with Swansea. Elephant in the room was the large level of debt/loans needed to build Ricoh. Swansea was basically fully funded through sale/development of the rest of the site. Also stadium "only" cost 27m and is just a sports stadium

poor again

Sweat would have been a higher pick (top 10) if not for the heart issues. Gotta feel the cards have made a bit of a mess with the QB situation. 2 of the biggest QB needy teams drafted one. No need to give up a 2nd round pick for him as he's going nowhere fast. Maybe someone (Miami) offers a 3rd...

I'll take Bradbury. Surprised Taylor fell out of the 1st round. Some serious talent available today. Don't get the Giants. Could have taken Jones with 2nd pick if they had to. Still not sure on Haskins. Good but maybe not much more than that.

He's a better prospect than Jones. Don't think Cards draft Murray without a Rosen plan in place. Goes past draft and teams will sort out QBs through that. Then Rosen has little more than a 5th round value in next year's draft as he'll probably be a back up to the likes of Manning or Ryan May...

Don't see him and Bellichick getting on - really contrasting personalities. Pittsburgh just extended big ben again - not sure they'd want to give up much to sit Rosen for 3-4 years. Rosen's contract fully guaranteed. Don't think Cards would get much for Rosen as a desperate seller.

my bad didn't realize it was on EDT not local CDT. So 1 start but don't how much guff there will be before 1st pick.

Bosa and Williams going to be huge. Williams generally considered best player in draft - being compared with Donald already. Ironic at 6'3 and 300 lbs not considered to have the physical traits but is so quick. Saw him a lot last season. Bosa had his injury issues They are both absolute...

Grier is a big number college QB (in a poor defensive conference) that would need a lot of work. Plenty of nice things about him though. Problem with day one of the draft it takes so long and only 1st round completed. As draft moves on speeds up nicely. Starts about 2 am so 1st pick could be...

Good somebody else not sold on Haskins. Where contract extensions are lining up not sure how many teams are going to be chasing 1st round QBs next year (apart from the sides being linked this year).

Still keep seeing Skins linked with Jones. QB draft is thin in that middle area and Jones really isn't a 1st round pick normally. Think the Manning connection being completely over-hyped. Cutliffe also sent sent some right duds into NFL. Particularly as Smith probably back for next season. But...

Offensive line. Some very good tackles and guards about. Looking for someone to do a job like Nelson did for Lock last year. Hoping for Taylor but one of Ford, Dillard, Williams or Lindstrom would do. Lot of talent in top 7 or 8 options. Slightly concerned latest rumours have us now taking a TE...

You have to wonder at the intelligence of the cricket authorities (for all their desire to chase a pound note) as to how you can have a public holiday with no cricket on it? And again how they can fill the week with one day fixtures but have this Saturday with only one game on (presumably for a...

snake oil salesman

Draft this week. Always interesting.

He's eligible under ICC rules. English father. Pace bowling weakest part of the side. Not been particularly good for a while. Heavily reliant on batsmen and spin options You pick your best players available. If he can get in on merit ( not reputation ) then he should get a place. Players...

Former Warks youngster Tom banton going well for Somerset. More than a few of 19-21 year olds playing in the 50 over form already this season.

just watched a 20/20 spell he's bowled this afternoon. He has ridiculous skills. Not very often a quick bowler is a match winner in 50 over cricket these day- this kid is. Don't see the issue myself. Played his 1st cricket over here nearly 6 years ago, english father and we're now in line with...

Millwall just not worth the hassle. used to be like going into a war zone with all the police etc. Just as likely to get thumped by someone not even at the game. Old Den was a grim place,

Difficult. Seamers been inconsistent over last couple of seasons. Still a side often bailed out by batsmen. But green wickets, English conditions, But Archer is a real talent,
