  1. Dallas draft CeeDee Lambpublished at 03:20 British Summer Time 24 April 2020
    Breaking

    So the first priority for McCarthy and owner Jerry Jones is to provide quarterback Dak Prescott with more weapons, taking wide receiver CeeDee Lamb out of Oklahoma.

    Incidentally the virtual draft is giving us a look through the keyhole at the homes of various coaches and owners - and boy is Jerry's crib a statement! Pure sci-fi!

  2. Cowboys up nextpublished at 03:19 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    It's a new era for America's Team with former Packers head coach Mike McCarthy taking the helm.

    Who will be his first draft pick?

  3. Brady joins in with draft-a-thonpublished at 03:15 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    Deion Sanders is actually taking part in the draft-a-thon fundraiser tonight, along with some other big names.

    Actor Kevin Hart has been involved through the night and he's also been joined by former New York Giant Michael Straham, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and arguably the 'GOAT', Tom Brady.

    Dan Quinn was a coach under pressure during an indifferent season for Atlanta. He'll be hoping cornerback AJ Terrell from Clemson is a boom and not a bust for the Falcons.

    This is widely regarded as one of the most talented groups of wide receivers available on draft day and the Broncos have taken one of those men - Jerry Jeudy from the University of Alabama. Broncos GM and legendary quarterback John Elway is looking pretty chuffed with that bit of business.

    The top picks in 1989 sure lived up to expectations, apart from second pick Tony Mandarich. The offensive tackle dubbed 'the Incredible Bulk' ended up being 'the Incredible Bust' with the Green Bay Packers.

    But the top pick, quarterback Troy Aikman, led the Dallas Cowboys to three Super Bowl wins and the three after Mandarich went on to be regarded as possibly the best ever in their positions.

    Running back Barry Sanders, linebacker Derrick Thomas and cornerback Deion Sanders all joined Aikman in Canton, making it four Hall of Famers out of the first five picks.

  7. 49ers select Kinlawpublished at 03:02 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    San Francisco's run to this year's Super Bowl was built on solid defence - and it looks like they're sticking with that philosophy by taking highly-rated defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw from South Carolina.

  8. Bucs draft Wirfspublished at 02:57 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    No, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have gone the other way. They've bolstered their offensive line, selecting Tristan Wirfs, a tackle from Iowa, to give Tom Brady some more protection.

  9. Gronkowski comes out of retirementpublished at 02:53 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    ICYMI... Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski this week came out of retirement to reunite with superstar quarterback Tom Brady at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    Gronkowski, 30, retired from the NFL in March 2019 - weeks after helping the Patriots to victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53.

    Gronkowski had a year remaining on his contract when he retired so the Pats still held his rights, which they have now traded to Tampa Bay for a fourth-round draft pick.

    The Patriots will also give up a seventh-round pick as part of the deal.

  10. Tampa Bay trade with the 49erspublished at 02:51 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers must be keen on one of them. Another weapon for new quarterback Tom Brady.

    They've traded with the San Francisco 49ers to take that 13th pick.

  11. Who's next?published at 02:48 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    Expect two more wide receivers to follow in quick succession now, CeeDee Lamb and Jerry Jeudy.

  12. Raiders draft Ruggspublished at 02:45 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    Henry Ruggs III is the first wide receiver off the board as the former Alabama man is selected by the Las Vegas Raiders.

    The Las Vegas Raiders... that will take some getting used to.

  13. Cowboys made to regret passing on Mosspublished at 02:40 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    Memorable draft moments: 1998

    There were no doubts over Randy Moss' talent in 1998 but there were concerns over his off-field issues.

    The Dallas Cowboys were particularly interested in the wide receiver and had a chance to take him at number eight. They passed up on it though, and that made other teams pay heed to red flags.

    Moss eventually fell to 21 before the Minnesota Vikings felt he was worth the risk and it paid off handsomely. The Vikings played Dallas in the Thanksgiving game that year, with Moss going into the Cowboys' house and scoring three touchdowns.

    He continued to haunt them throughout his career and he's now in the Hall of Fame as well as sitting fourth on the all-time list for receiving yards. After winning three Super Bowls in 90s, Dallas didn't win another play-off game for 12 years.

    Incidentally, Randy's son Thaddeus Moss, a tight end from LSU, is up for grabs in this year's draft.

  14. Jets select Bectonpublished at 02:38 British Summer Time 24 April 2020

    It's all going swimmingly, with few shocks. Many tipped the New York Jets to draft Mekhi Becton and they've plumped for the offensive tackle from Louisville.

    Everybody gets caught up with quarterbacks because we know the value of the position but Chase Young, hands down, is the best player in this draft. Osi knows that position so he must be right!

    And it's the most important position besides quarterback because it's the first person that gets there to take the quarterback down. I'm excited to see what he does this year and in the years to come.

    That'll do nicely for the Cleveland Browns. They do indeed go for Jedrick Wills, the offensive tackle out of Alabama, with the 10th pick of the 2020 draft.

    No, it's not Javon Kinlaw for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it aids another of their defensive needs.

    They go for former Florida cornerback CJ Henderson.

    The Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot of holes to fill on defence, is it time for defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw?
