If Floyd is on the board at #10 and the Giants pass on him I'll be pretty upset, to be honest.  The only LB I'd take ahead of him is Jack and most reports I'm seeing suggest that the Giants have totally taken him off the board because they've had too many injuries in recent years to justify the risk of Jack even though he could wind up being the best player in the draft.

My best guess is Floyd as their top target, Conklin as the second option, and if both guys are gone they'll either re-assess Jack or see if they could trade back.  Ragland or Darron Lee (another guy I've seen mocked to the Giants) feel like reaches at #10, ditto for the receivers.

The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee is meeting today (right now?) to discuss feasibility of building a stadium in Las Vegas. If it's approved Mark Davis is expected to pounce. In fact he's supposed to be at the meeting to lend his support to the stadium plans.

So the draft mind wind up being the second biggest story of the day.

[TCO]

As somebody with no geographical or sentimental ties to Oakland, the idea of the Las Vegas Raiders seems so fucking sweet!

[Lineker]

Young newly-drafted men with new found wealth and riches, required to live in Las Vegas. Don't see what could possibly go wrong.

[TCO]

Eh, the ones with sense will stay on the straight and narrow and the ones who don't will just accelerate their decline. It's only 17 weeks of the year and it shouldn't play a factor. I mean Manziel went off the rails while living in Ohio.

Having to be a part of the Browns organization would drive me to drink too tbf

I mean, most of them are going to choose to live in the area, so its more than 17 weeks.  Manziel went off the rails while playing in Cleveland sure, but where did he do a lot of his partying?  Vegas.

[TCO]

That wasn't him, that was a huge fat party animal called Billy!

[GhostMachine]

If Las Vegas gets a sports team, I dare the owner to name the team `The Gamblers'. 

Obviously, they'd have to have Kenny Rogers as their mascot. 

[Lineker]

So what's the plan for tonight? IRC chat or just use the thread? 

[DMN in the House]

It would be my luck for Myles Jack to fall to Oakland, then have them move to Vegas.

We have the thread for a reason!

When did they start doing this NFL Draft Red Carpet deal? It's horrible.. but nothing else is really on so I'm watching. >_>

It's either that or watching ESPN where Nick Saban is getting interviewed in his car on the way to the draft..

[Lineker]

Ugh Sky pundits! Really hope they opt into NFL Network soon as I don't want to have to watch on my laptop.

[Meacon Keaton]

I hope LA drafts Jalen and turns this shit on its head, since Goff and Wentz as the first two is such a foregone conclusion.

[Lineker]

Here we go!

Thankfully, mercifully, Sky have now opted into NFL Network's output  

[Dan]

Rams milking the clock.

[Lineker]

Jared Goff it is for LA.
