Also surprised the Falcons lasted this long.  That's still a pretty talented roster with mostly depth players as FAs.  I had concerns about how they'll rebound after that tough loss (which is what I experienced with the Panthers last year), but still a quality team this late.

I'm with you. I was considering them at No.1. Their roster is almost entirely intact and they still have wiggle room to make moves in FA.

Thanks, had several teams fall down the board, expecting to go hiigher.  Actually had the Falcons right in front of the Seahawks on my list.   I'm looking forward to improving their offensive line.......big time.  I couldn't be any worse then they are at evaluating OL talent. 

Raiders were at the top of my list, however I'm glad they are in good hands.  @-Truth-

Tackle is the biggest weakness for sure

[Giants56Ravens52]

I was debating between Steelers and Falcons myself. I leaned Pitt for the O Line.

Jets were arguably the best option available, but without a first rounder the draft should be a bit more laid back for me.  I know exactly what I need to do to fix the Vikings, and they are my second favorite NFL team so I'm not too displeased with getting them here.

Not an alternative fact. You're on the clock

 

Alternative fact: You're team will win the SB next year

They have two 3rds and two 4ths so not all doom (not sure on comp picks for them).  Also with a couple of cuts/trades can open up a fair amount of cap space

Does anyone know when the compensation picks are decided on.

I take it we are recieve them and are able to trade them too

We'll see. In 2015 I think they were announced when we were in the 1st round of the draft. Last year they were announced before the draft. We're trying to decide what to do since they're tradable now. Good chance they'll just be restricted in trades until they're officially announced, of course. 

[arnie_uk]

I'm going to make my pick in the morning.

Cheers will plan on with the likelyhood they are out .... if they are in would gain a 4th and 5th (according to overthecap)

No more John Carlson on that team but you still have Andrew Sendejo to put on the trade block so that should be fun

@arnie_uk You're up, buddy.

[CalvinSmoke]

Finish strong guys 

[rmw10]

Looks like we just missed arnie (said he'd make his pick in the morning), so be prepared @Baltimore RAYvens and @LosT_in_TranSlatioN.  You guys will be up bright and early tomorrow morning, and then we can get this thing rolling.

[allblackraven]

I can't believe Texans lasted this long.

[PaRAYdise]

Last year we had a trade block thread.

How about treating it like SoF and Depth Chart? What I mean is that every team should make one post and update that post. 

Last year most of the teams spammed that thread daily which was a little bit chaotic and we could limit that and act more organised that way.

We're working on something a little different. Should be hearing something shortly.

If they had just a little better draft spot, I would have got them at 11
