NFL: The Picks and the Trades

Posted by Sebastian | NFL News & Updates | Thursday 30 April 2009 10:33 pm

Keeping everyone abreast on the latest picks and trades between leagues just before the next season, would make any supposition on what will happen next year, is anyone’s guess.

The Kansas Chiefs take Jake O’Connell, after trading off Tony Gonzales to the Atltanta Dolphins, who would be getting the seventh-round pick on 2010. Hunter Smith’s transfer to the Redskins Eagles after being with the Colts for ten years creates a hole that may need to be addressed. The Bronco’s down the road pick on Tom Brandstater may not be a very good pick since the Bronco’s only has two quarterbacks, and would need a young passer to build up.

Brinkley’s join to the Vikings, who is a former Gamecock player, is very tough, and would be very good for the Viking’s defense. The Cowboy’s, being one of the most active draft participant, who doesn’t even possess a first round pick, has DeAngelo Smith in its field. McKinley being added to the Broncos will certainly be a good addendum to the athletic powers of the Broncos, while the addition of Peerman to the Ravens would be a good boost in the kicking department. The Patriot’s selection of Ohrnberger, originally a guard from the Penn State, would do very well in the zone-blocking scheme.

The Eagles has added to their team another Patriot, with Asante Samuel the last pick, to Hobbs for this year’s pick, will definitely add intensity to the secondary defense, not to mention a good enhancement in the return game.

The Cowboys getting a pass-rushing potential, with Williams, gets the late-round picks. The Buccaneers grabbed Moore, the second defense lineman.

These are just some tidbits and little insights to what transpired in the drafts that happened last month in New York City.

Talks on British Super Bowl

The most watched broadcast in US Television, the Super Bowl, was first played on the 15th of January in 1967. Today, it has over 200 million viewers all over the world and continues to provide the thrills and excitements as only the National Football League can give. It is televised by one- and only one, major TV network and is known to have the most expensive airtime fees for advertising. It is also marked to be the day where the Americans have a high percentage of food consumption- second only to Thanksgiving. The Super Bowl’s most priced winner, the Pittsburgh Steelers, has won more games than any other team with 6 wins on the overall.
Now, with all this fuss about Super Bowl, it might interest you to know that there are talks of bringing the Super Bowl to London, as confirmed by a senior official of the NHL citing the Wembley Stadium to be the venue for this highly sought after event. Since the NFL has played several times in this part of the UK such as that of the game between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins which drew a record of 80,000 spectators, officials think it might be a good idea to host the Super Bowl there too.
NFL officials have always aimed at widening their presence to include cities outside the US. In fact, they have already played in several countries in Asia, Canada, Mexico and even Europe and the events have always been quite successful. In Mexico, an NFL game drew over 100,000 people.
Talks are still ongoing and hopefully a decision will be made real soon. Football is huge in the United States, and it just might be as successful in the UK too. And the only way to find out is to hold a British Super Bowl.
