After a relatively dull first round last year, Thursday night’s affair in Chicago was a lot spicier, featured more trades and quite a bit of controversy and drama. Draft round-up All the news as Goff is picked at No 1 Laremy Tunsil had a rather embarrassing video of him leaked to the media 10 minutes before the start of the Draft, Myles Jack dropped like a stone due to concerns over his knee and Paxton Lynch soared all the way to the Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos. So here are six thoughts on six moves made in Chicago in round one.Tunsils nightmare evening Laremy Tunsil drops to No 13 pick It was one of the more bizarre draft nights. Minutes before the NFL Draft kicked off, a video emerged on Tunsils Twitter page appearing to show him smoking through a gas mask. As an unnamed team general manager said last night: He looked like Hannibal Lecter and were taking him off our board.One team after another passed on Tunsil, who was expected to go first overall a few weeks back. Baltimore had a major offensive tackle need, but preferred Ronnie Stanley. Tennessee traded back up to fill their tackle need but took Jack Conklin and the Giants - desperate for offensive line help - preferred cornerback Eli Apple.Tunsils first NFL contract will total around $13million, but it would have been in the $23-25m range had he gone in the top five.Jacks nightmare evening Myles Jacks evening didnt get better after his arrival There is a theme developing here and its what makes the NFL Draft such great drama. It is a soap opera and we get to witness it all as dreams are realised and childhood hopes are dashed.Myles Jack, of UCLA, is one of the best five players in this draft yet he will wake up in Chicago without an NFL home knowing 31 guys were chosen ahead of him. That is going to be a tough pill to swallow and it made for an embarrassing and frustrating few hours for this high-energy defender.The unconfirmed worry is that Jack has a degenerative knee issue and might not make it past his first NFL contract. Those are sentiments he backed up himself the day before the draft, admitting he might not last long in the NFL.Jack was trying to make a bad situation good and he made it worse. He can never erase what was a nightmare evening in Chicago.Jaguars win big Jalen Ramsey holds up a jersey with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell The way the dominoes fell at the top of the NFL Draft worked out very well indeed for the London-bound Jacksonville Jaguars. Jalen Ramsey is a special talent who can play cornerback, slot corner and safety in the NFL and he can play all three very well.The Jags are gearing up for a play-off run this season if they can keep their momentum going. I expect them to make several more defensive picks in the next two days as general manager Dave Caldwell wants to address and upgrade a unit that ranked 31st in scoring defence last year.Ramsey is as clean a prospect as they come on and off the field and I cannot wait to see him in action in London later this year. I think he could be a quality and versatile defensive back in todays pass-happy NFL.Late quarterback drama NFL Draft top pick Jared Goff tells Richard Graves hes ready for the pressure The top of the NFL Draft was already set to the point where were not really talking about Jared Goff and Carson Wentz all that much this morning. But there was a late talking point in round one as the Super Bowl champions Denver Broncos traded up to grab Paxton Lynch from Memphis.Lynch can eventually be a good fit for the Broncos because he can roll out and throw out of the pocket, which is what head coach Gary Kubiak likes but could never do with Peyton Manning at the helm.But Lynch is likely not ready for 2016 and even 2017 is a push. He has some developing to do and is a patient young man being well-guided by former super-agent Leigh Steinberg. That means the Broncos are likely to have Mark Sanchez babysit the role in 2016, unless they make a move for another veteran passer.But there is no doubt that Denver see Lynch as their quarterback of the future.Jerry gets his man! Ezekiel Elliott was chosen by the Cowboys Jerry Jones likes star power as the owner of the Dallas Cowboys and he certainly got that in abundance on Thursday evening as his team selected Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott.The position is a little rich for a running back, but not if you think youre getting a special one. Elliott has all the tools to be a generational player and somebody around whom the Cowboys can build their attack for years to come.Dallas didnt have to give up extra picks like some teams did to get players they coveted. They simply had to part with their fourth overall selection and Elliott, who can run, catch and block, is worth the effort.He will take some pressure off quarterback Tony Romo, who soon turns 37 and is coming off a nightmare season in which he twice broke the same collarbone.You like that! Kirk Cousins compares fellow QBs at a Fan Forum in London On the night of the NFL Draft, Sky Sports aired a Fan Forum with Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins. Kirk is a great guy and is growing to be quite a quarterback - and he could be even better in 2016 after his team selected wide receiver Josh Doctson, who I felt was the best wideout available.I didnt think Washington would target a receiver. I didnt think they needed another receiving target as their passing attack took off in the second half of 2015 with DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon and Jordan Reed playing big roles.Washington had bigger needs, including needing additional secondary help even following the Josh Norman signing, and could have upgraded their offensive line a little more.But Washington wanted to add more weapons around a developing quarterback and it certainly puts more pressure on Jackson and Garcon to maintain a high level of play this season. The Redskins are going to be fun to watch when they head to London later this year.

They had already blown a double-digit lead, fans were hitting the exits, and a long seven-game road trip waited at the end. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- A huge bust of Hall of Fame Dolphins coach Don Shula that appears to be chipped from a stone and brick wall. Splashy swirls of graffiti spray-painted two stories tall along half a football field. A photo of Miamis cityscape at night, reimagined with layers of texture and colors.These and many other works of original wall art await football fans at refurbished Hard Rock Stadium when Miami opens its home NFL season Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.The project to install large, eye-catching pieces of color and design throughout the stadium resulted from a visit last year by Dolphins owner Stephen Ross to Miamis Wynwood neighborhood, which is known for its vibrant street art, said Jessica Goldman Srebnick, CEO of Goldman Global Arts and curator of the stadiums works.Wynwood kind of created that mentality that anything can be art, Goldman Srebnick said. He loved the idea and that was it.Only a few of the 29,000 square feet of installations are sports-themed, including a piece by the Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto, known as Vhiles, that depicts Shula on a chipped-out wall of brick and stone near one of the stadiums bars.Former Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, also a Hall of Famer and now a Dolphins special adviser, said Shula will love the piece.It looks like Coach when he was kind of upset at games sometimes. But the artist did a really great job and I know Coach will enjoy it, Marino said in an interview. To put art up in places that would be kind of bland in the stadium I think is going to be great for the fans. Its really unbelievable.Artist John Matos from the Bronx, New York, who is known as CRASH, explained his approaach from a lift platform on the stadiums first floor, where he was spray-painting an enormous wall in a distinctive, colorful graffiti style.dddddddddddd. He said he doesnt pre-plan his pieces, but rather does them by eye and feel.It just happened. Its totally by accident, he said. If I would have planned it, it would have been a disaster.All told, 18 artists from 10 countries have participated in the project, Goldman Srebnick said. They include German twin brothers How & Nosm, Australias Fintan Magee, Chiles Dasic Fernandez, and Eli Sudbrack and Christophe Hamaide-Pierson, a Brazilian/French team that works in tandem as assume vivid astro focus, all lowercase.Their curator said more art will be added in the future and some will change over time, just as in Wynwood.The boundaries of art are changing, said Goldman Srebnick, who created the Wynwood Walls outdoor street museum and co-founded Goldman Global Arts with artist Peter Tunney.The Fernandez wall painting, titled All The Way, depicts a helmeted football player, eyes fixed and determined, with rainbow-colored hands and a backdrop of stars, blue sky and clouds. Fernandez said the idea was to show how dreams can become reality with hard work -- in this case, a player finally realizing his goal of stepping onto the field.Its about the process to become anything you want to be in life, he said. It talks about all the process before you actually make it.-----Online: http://HardRockStadium.com/ArtUnexpected-----Follow Curt Anderson on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Miamicurt ' ' '
