The off-season is painful for football fans. Trade rumors and free agency signings are about all we have... until the draft.

What's your take on this year's draft?
 
It is always amazing to me how little we really hear about the draft when there is no outright quarterback to take, and that seems to be the case this year. I know a lot of people are talking about some of them, like the Goff guy, but nobody is saying that they will be anything special and the radio shows and TV shows do not deal with it as much. I think that it will be interesting to see what some teams are going to do though, and I will be tuned in.
 
Yeah, sadly it's a QB's league when it comes to the media. If a QB isn't involved, they don't really care. Sad.

Still counting the days until the draft...
 
Per ESPN:

The Philadelphia Eagles have completed their journey to the No. 2 pick in the 2016 NFL draft.

The Eagles acquired the Cleveland Browns' pick with a blockbuster trade. To make the deal, the Eagles used draft picks acquired in two previous trades.

The Eagles intend to take a quarterback with the No. 2 pick. The Los Angeles Rams already acquired the top overall pick from Tennessee for a slew of picks and have indicated they will take a quarterback. The Eagles will likely take either Cal's Jared Goff or North Dakota State's Carson Wentz, whichever is not taken by the Rams.

It is the fourth time the top two selections in the draft have been dealt.

The Eagles sent five draft picks to the Browns: the No. 8 pick in the first round, a third-round pick (77th overall) and a fourth-round pick (100th overall) in this year's draft, a first-round pick in 2017 and a second-round pick in 2018. Cleveland also sends a fourth-round pick in 2017 to the Eagles.
 
As if I needed another reason to not like the Cowboys -- they drafted Elliot. As a huge Michigan fan, this makes it very easy to keep up my hatred of the Dallas Cowboys once they started drafting someone that just killed the Wolverines the last game they played.
