Off Topic » Cagliari president Massimo Cellino

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.

Striding toward its third consecutive title, the victory moved Juventus 11 points ahead of second-place Roma. "Only a tank could stop Juventus," new Milan coach Clarence Seedorf said. "They showed their strength and Tevez provided the difference. Hes a great player." Milan, which was starting to gain momentum under Seedorf, dropped to 10th, six points adrift of the European places. Milan started strongly with Kaka and Andrea Poli threatening in the first half but Juve took control when Llorente collected a pass from Stephan Lichtsteiner in the 44th to score from the edge of the box and highlight Milans porous defence. Then in the 68th, Tevez was left alone to find the target with a shot from 25 metres (yards) that crashed in off the underside of the crossbar. It was Tevezs 15th goal of the season, putting him atop the Italian leagues scoring chart, one ahead of Fiorentinas Giuseppe Rossi, who has been out injured since January. Milan sorely missed Mario Balotelli, who is still recovering from a right shoulder injury. Making matters worse, midfielder Poli was taken to the hospital after getting hit in the face during a collision with Juventus defender Martin Caceres in the 51st. Earlier, third-placed Napoli was held to a 1-1 draw at relegation-threatened Livorno without its standout forward Gonzalo Higuain. Belgium midfielder Dries Mertens converted a penalty for Napoli in the 31st but Livorno equalized when a backheel effort from its 19-year-old Senegalese defender Mbaye Ibrahima resulted in an own-goal by Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina in the 39th. Still, Napoli moved seven points ahead of fourth-placed Fiorentina in the race for the final Champions League spot. Fiorentina, which was missing two key suspended midfielders in Borja Valero and David Pizarro, lost 1-0 at home to Lazio. Also, the Tuscan squads coach Vincenzo Montella served a touchline ban following the fallout from Mondays 2-2 draaw at Parma, which featured three red cards.dddddddddddd Albanian midfielder Lorik Cana scored for Lazio five minutes in with a bicycle kick. Livorno moved level with Chievo Verona third from bottom, with the last three clubs destined for Serie B at the end of the season. Higuain is among the Serie A leaders with 13 goals but was suspended for this match. His replacement, Goran Pandev, earned Napolis penalty with what appeared to be minimal contact from Livorno defender Federico Ceccherini, leading to protests from the hosts. Elsewhere, Parma beat 10-man Sassuolo 1-0 with a second-minute goal from Marco Parolo to move level with Hellas Verona in sixth place -- one point behind Inter Milan and the Europa League zone. Verona goalkeeper Rafael saved a 47th-minute penalty from Rolando Bianchi in a 0-0 draw at home with Bologna. Also, Sampdoria won 2-0 at Torino with goals from Stefano Okaka and Manolo Gabbiadini; Atalanta beat 10-man Chievo Verona 2-1 after strikes by Carlos Carmona in the 21st and a winner from Luca Cigarini in the 85th; and Genoa beat 10-man Catania 2-0 with goals from Luca Antonelli and Stefano Sturaro. Earlier in the lunchtime fixture, Cagliari kept its focus to beat visiting Udinese 3-0 amid speculation that the Sardinian club could be sold. Colombian forward Victor Ibarbo put Cagliari ahead in the 18th, Uruguayan midfielder Matias Vecino doubled the lead in the 81st and Macedonian midfielder Agim Ibraimi found the target in the 89th. Udinese captain Antonio Di Natale threatened several times in the first half, hitting the crossbar with a deflected shot on one occasion. The victory moved Cagliari level with Udinese in 14th place. Cagliari president Massimo Cellino attended the match, his first stadium appearance since January. Fans greeted him with chants of "We want a president." Eleonora Sport Ltd., which is run by the Cellino family, is on the verge of taking over a 75 per cent stake in fallen English power Leeds, leading many to believe Cellino is losing interest in Cagliari, which has been beset by stadium troubles.
