Richard Graves is out in Chicago for Sky Sports, running the rule over the 2016 NFL Draft class, and where they might end up. Discount Nike NFL Jerseys . 1. LA Rams - QB Jared Goff (Cal)For me, the best quarterback in this years class. An intelligent player, calm in the pocket and doesnt panic when its collapsing around him. He has a strong arm, and has shown precision accuracy with long throws.The one knock on Goff is his slight frame, but his mobility and awareness enables him to avoid pressure. Coming out of California, he appears a perfect fit for the new LA franchise. 2. Philadelphia Eagles - QB Carson Wentz (North Dakota State University)Wentz has the frame you look for in an NFL quarterback. Standing 66 tall and 231lbs, hes well equipped to handle himself and has the skill set to match.Calm in pressure situations, with an ability to keep his eyes down field, Wentz has experience of taking snaps under centre but comes from a relatively small football program in North Dakota. Ive heard some compare him to Ben Roethlisberger. Its too early for that but its not a bad thing at this stage.  North Dakota State QB Carson Wentz is considered one of the top two picks for this years draft 3. San Diego Chargers - OT Laremy Tunsil (Mississippi)Arguably the best player in this draft class and would almost certainly have gone No 1 overall if the the Titans hadnt traded that pick to the Rams.Hes a 65, 305lb giant who possesses strength, size and a proven ability to stonewall the best pass rushers in college football, along with slick footwork and speed that belies his size. The Chargers know QB Philip Rivers is their best player and Tunsil will be his protector for years to come.  OT Laremy Tunsil of Ole Miss is arguably the best player in the class 4. Dallas Cowboys - DE Joey Bosa (Ohio State)This defensive end was a one man road block in college football, to the point where some opponents literally stopped running the ball in his direction. He doesnt possess a great burst but he has a tremendous motor.Capable of playing anywhere along the defensive line and able to beat blockers, Bosa hails from good footballing stock, as both his father and uncle were drafted to the NFL in the late 1980s. 5. Jacksonville Jaguars - LB Myles Jack (UCLA)Jack has the speed and explosive power to disrupt plays on the field. He has a great nose for the ball and invariably finds himself in the right place to make a play.  Played on both offence (running back) and defence during his time at college but missed the entire 2015 season with a torn ACL. At 61 and 245lbs he has the build to play in the NFL right now and, health permitting, will be a huge addition to whichever team takes him. 6. Baltimore Ravens - S Jalen Ramsey (Florida State)Ive heard comparisons to the Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor, but Ramsey doesnt have the same imposing frame. Despite that, Ramsey is a physical, hard-hitting safety, more than capable of playing the same type of role.Hes adaptable to any position in the secondary and has a natural ability to shed blockers and avoid traffic in pursuit of the ball. Ramsey defends the pass well and is terrific against the run.  Jalen Ramsey #8 protects the ball for the Florida State Seminoles 7. San Francisco 49ers - DT AShawn Robinson (Alabama) A man mountain in the hugely impressive defensive line of the national champions. AShawn Robinson regularly commanded double team blocking and was the anchor that allowed team-mates to make highlight catching plays.Hes not flashy but that isnt what you want from a defensive tackle. Hes a hard-working, 3-down player with a strong bull rush who applies pressure up the middle. 8. Cleveland Browns - WR Laquon Treadwell (Mississippi)This entire receiving class has been knocked for the lack of speed but if Cleveland select Laquon Treadwell, they are getting a physical beast of a playmaker, in the mould of Dez Bryant.Treadwell has fantastic hands, capable of making unbelievable catches and, unlike Bryant, would draw comparisons to Hinds Ward in the physical way he blocks for team-mates. In my opinion, he is the best wide receiver in this class.  2016 NFL Draft: Beginners guide All you need to know ahead of Thursdays showpiece 9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - CB Vernon Hargreaves (Florida)Hargreaves height may be a concern for some NFL teams. Hes just 511 but he more than makes up for it in his style of play.Hargreaves has great awareness and vision on the field, locates the ball well and has good body control. An instinctive back, Hargreaves didnt give up a single touchdown during his last two years at college.10. New York Giants - RB Ezekiel Elliott (Ohio State)Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry grabbed the headlines with his size and play for Alabama in college football, but Ezekiel Elliot is the standout back in this class.Quite simply, hes better at everything - running the ball, catching the ball out of the backfield and blocking. Elliott has it all. Hes a 3-down back, elusive in the open field and able to make tacklers miss. An exciting addition with game-changing, playmaker potential.    11. Chicago Bears - DE DeForest Buckner (Oregon)12. New Orleans Saints - DT Sheldon Rankins (Louisville)13. Miami Dolphins - CB William Jackson III (Houston)14. Oakland Raiders - LB Leonard Floyd (Georgia)15. Tennessee Titans - OT Ronnie Stanley (Notre Dame)16. Detroit Lions - OT Jack Conklin (Michigan State)17. Atlanta Falcons - LB Darron Lee (Ohio State)18. Indianapolis Colts - C Ryan Kelly (Alabama) NFL Draft 2015 Looking back at the top players selected outside the first round of the 2015 draft 19. Buffalo Bills - DE Kevin Dodd (Clemson)20. New York Jets - OT Taylor Decker (Ohio State)21. Washington Redskins - DE Kamalei Correa (Boise State)22. Houston Texans - TE Hunter Henry (Arkansas)23. Minnesota Vikings - WR Corey Coleman (Baylor)24. Cincinnati Bengals - WR Josh Doctson (TCU)25. Pittsburgh Steelers - S Karl Joseph (West Virginia) NFL Draft 2016 Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson talks to Sky Sports ahead of the 2016 NFL draft 26. Seattle Seahawks - DT Jarran Reed (Alabama)27. Green Bay Packers - LB Reggie Ragland (Alabama)28. Kansas City Chiefs - OG Cody Whitehair (Kansas State)29. Arizona Cardinals - S Keanu Neal (Florida)30. Carolina Panthers - CB Mackensie Alexander (Clemson)31. Denver Broncos - QB Paxton Lynch (Memphis)*The New England Patriots will not select from the first round following a penalty for deflating footballs.

Wholesale NFL Jerseys . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. http://www.cheapjerseysnflcustom.com/ . Argentina winger Ezequiel Lavezzi and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi scored, with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic setting up both despite having a poor game by his high standards. Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield. So many of us have done the Saturday relay race: karate to soccer game to basketball practice. From softball to swim team. Baseball practice to a hockey tournament.When my kids were young, the world of sports and activities was their oyster. They played multiple sports, tried on things to see what fit while we drove from one side of town to the other, coordinating calendars, resolving scheduling conflicts and keeping all the local drive-thru fast-food joints in business with to-and-fro dining in the mini-van.A few seasons of soccer, overlapping with the start of CYO basketball, which overlapped with the start of Little League season. Mix in the odd volleyball camp, rec department tennis class and some middle school track and youve got a drawer full of old team pictures, a lot of participation trophies and a whole lot of days on the snack schedule.Then maybe that club coach asked for a larger commitment, or the select team came calling. Maybe the schedule just wasnt working anymore and it was too tough to squeeze in multiple practices and games each week around homework and band or group projects.As many kids got closer to high school, they begin to narrow the field of their sports participation, some by choice and the natural culling process. Others because someone else thinks its best.They begin to specialize. And certainly, there are things to gain from the focus on one sport -- a true offseason, better opportunities against higher levels of competition, perhaps even a shot at being a collegiate athlete. But kids lose by specializing, as well, because there are some very good reasons to stay a multi-sport athlete.1. Fewer overuse injuries. Growing bodies can become overstressed by repetition and that stress can lead to injuries. A lack of rest and recovery time in year-round sports exacerbates the problem. There are plenty of examples of serious, grown-up sports injuries happening to kids at younger and younger ages, from Tommy John surgery for 12-year-olds to high school girls with multiple ACL injuries before they graduate. Studies show that playing multiple sports leads to better muscle, motor and skill development. It promotes general athleticism, balance, speed and agility.2. Less opportunity for emotional burn-out. Kids who spend so much time focusing on one sport -- and whose families are similarly solely focused -- risk tiring of the sport all together. Specializing raises expectations, the costs for parents for travel and club teams and the pressure on young athletes. Having a variety of experiences keeps things interesting, the monotony of a single sport goes away, and so does that pressure.3. Exposure to different kids. Soccer friends will be different from swimming friends, who will be different from the kids in your Tai-Kwon-Do class. Exposing kids to different sports allows them to share teammate experiences and make memories with a diverse group of peers. Discount Nike NFL Jerseys. . It helps them expand their social circle and their opportunities for interaction.4. Exposure to different roles. Being a bench player on the basketball team is a different experience than being a starting pitcher on the baseball team. Its an opportunity to broaden their experiences, socially and developmentally. Its an opportunity to become a better competitor and all-around athlete, the kind that coaches value because they are flexible, multi-dimensional, exposed to many situations and coachable.5. Not putting all your eggs in one basket. Playing only one sport limits your options. An injury, a bad experience with a coach or a reduced role on a more competitive team can bring an abrupt end to an athletic career. Such a small number of high school athletes move on to play a sport in college; even fewer earn an athletic scholarship. If the goal is to play as long as possible, perhaps it makes the most sense to play as many sports as possible? Just ask Derek Jeter, who played basketball in high school, or Elena Delle Donne, who played volleyball at Delaware before returning to the basketball team on the way to the WNBA, or Robert Griffin III, who played baseball and ran track.My confession here is that my son ended up being a single-sport athlete by the time he got to high school. Baseball was his passion, and the other sports fell off the schedule and the radar. The skateboard that used to be his constant companion in middle school started to gather dust in the garage, and the old basketballs and soccer cleats got donated to charity. He is now a college baseball player, competing at a Division III school.And while focusing on one sport may have played a role in getting him there, I cant imagine, in retrospect, that it was the only path. Ive heard him say that he wished that boys volleyball season wasnt the same as baseball, because he would have played. Ive heard him boast that the 3-point stroke he had on the middle school basketball team magically returned while playing pick-up basketball with some of his buddies. One of his high school friends was the football teams starting quarterback and hes?playing club hockey in college now and loving every minute of it.You just never know how things are going to turn out.I retired the mini-van a few years ago, traded it in for a new car and watched with misty eyes as it was driven off into the depths of the used-car lot. But not before I cleared out some old soccer cones and a least one ball bouncing around in the way back.The old days of the Saturday relay are long gone. I didnt realize at the time how good those days were. They were fun. And isnt that the whole point? ' ' '
