Having just got my tickets to Titans vs Chargers at Wembley, and the draft just concluded I thought I’d take the initiative and start the NFL 2018 thread.

Who are everyone’s teams – and how happy/unhappy were you with your draft picks?

As an Arizona Cardinal fan, I’m really happy with how the draft went – for once. Managed to get a QB who has the potential to take us forward – without having to give up too much. A third and a fifth round picks to trade up seems a steal – especially compared to what the Saints gave up. And I love the Christian Kirk pick-up – the Arizona native was mocked to us in the first round a few times, so picking him up in the second is great value.

Patriots fan (not that active though).

I'm in Seattle for a conference in November, so trying to work out if I can take in a Seahawks game...

Went to 2 or 3 of the Wembley games in the past, taking a bit of a break until my boys are old enough to enjoy a game...

Giants fan here. Got our standard season ticket for Wembley again this year, looking forward to both games. The missus is a Packers fan, but I dont think they will ever be a UK game.

In terms of the draft we have done ok. Got a RB, and beefed up the offence line, and signed Solder in free agency. Will all help Eli in the pocket and also give him options with the running game. Will be interesting to see what happens with the WR options and if we sign Dez Bryant. Not the biggest fan, but could be a very good decoy to help Odell.

Packers fan here, and I agree they're never coming to London frown

Enjoyed the draft but not sure GB need two top cornerbacks - a couple were taken last year too. It means the secondary's going to look brilliant but there's little depth at WR which is a worry.

I also have a guilty fascination with the Browns. Maybe it's the usual british fascination with the underdog, I don't know. Very surprised to see Mayfield as number 1 but absolutely think it's not a bad decision. It's a long, slow wait until SEptember....

I think Goodell has said he wants all teams to have played in the UK by 2020 - so fingers crossed for you guys.
