The 2023 NFL Draft is over, and on any list of draft weekend winners, you’ll find the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles took seven players, including three from Georgia, and got incredible talent and value throughout. Here are the Eagles NFL draft grades for every pick in this year’s draft. Philadelphia Eagles 2023 NFL Draft Grades […]

The 2023 NFL Draft is now behind us, and 259 players will be joining the league. Over the course of three days, there were plenty of good picks and just as many questionable ones. Here we will look at the teams that, at first blush, look like the NFL draft losers this year, including the […]

The 2023 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Buffalo Bills made six selections over the course of three days. How did Sean McDermott, Brandon Beane, and the Bills front office do? Here are the Bills draft grades for every pick, from Dalton Kincaid to Alex Austin. Round 1, Pick 25 (From Giants via […]

The 2023 NFL Draft third round is now in the books. The pace quickened in Round 3, and players came off the board at a furious pace. There were some real gems still available at the end of Day 2, and several teams took advantage of that. Here are the NFL draft grades for each […]

Day 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft is now in the books, and the NFL draft’s Day 3 will be upon us in just a few hours. There are still some starters and some difference makers left on the board as Rounds 4 through 7 kick off at noon ET on Saturday. The best players […]

The 2023 NFL Draft second round was a wild one. There were a lot of trades, especially early on, and teams got some difference-making players. As often happens in NFL drafts, several first-round talents slipped to Round 2, and teams got players they didn’t think would be available on Day 2. Here are the five […]

The 2023 NFL Draft second round has come to a close. The round started hot and heavy with trades as teams jumped up to grab players who fell out of the first round. It cooled down a bit as the round went on, but there was still a lot of excitement and intrigue throughout. Here […]

The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Kansas City Chiefs took care of adding a pass-rusher at the end of Round 1 with homegrown Felix Anudike-Uzomah from Kansas State. As the draft goes on, the Chiefs must continue to add depth and talent to their Super Bowl roster. […]

The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Indianapolis Colts made the big swing of the draft, taking Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson No. 4 overall. Richardson is the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in this class, so to get him to boom, the Colts must spend the rest of the draft […]

The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Cincinnati Bengals made a solid pick at No. 28 in Clemson EDGE Myles Murphy. The work is not over, though. There are still six rounds and six more Bengals draft picks left to go. With that in mind, here are the […]

The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books, and the New England Patriots not only made a first-round pick (after trading down, of course), but they came away with a major steal in Oregon cornerback Christian Gonzalez. The work is not over though. There are still six rounds and 11 more […]

The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is in the books, and the Buffalo Bills came away with Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid at No. 27. It was a bold Bills draft pick, but one that showed their commitment to helping Josh Allen succeed. The work is not over though. There are still six […]

Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson is one of the top QB prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft. He could go in the top five or experience an all-too-familiar QB draft day slide. No matter where he ends up on draft night, the team that gets him is getting a signal-caller with the highest ceiling and the […]

Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft. He could go as high as No. 2 and shouldn’t fall below No. 4. No matter where he ends up on draft night, the team that gets him is getting a quarterback with a high ceiling but also a […]

The Tennessee Titans desperately need a quarterback but might get shut out in the 2023 NFL Draft at pick No. 11. The Arizona Cardinals have the No. 3 pick where QBs like CJ Stroud will be available but need more talent across their roster, not a new signal-caller. This means a Titans-Cardinals trade for the […]

Ohio State Buckeyes Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the top wide receiver on many teams’ boards heading into the 2023 NFL Draft. He could go as high as No. 9 and as low as the late teens or even early 20s, depending on how the draft shakes out. No matter where he ends up on draft night, […]

Texas Longhorns Bijan Robinson is the No. 1 running back in the 2023 NFL Draft. And on some boards, he may be the top overall player. However, with the way the league views the position, he could go anywhere from in the top 10 to near the end of the first round. No matter where […]

The Washington Commanders’ first-round pick will likely be a cornerback. The position is one of the major Commanders draft needs, and there will be some good ones available at pick No. 16 in the 2023 NFL Draft. However, if the Commanders’ draft gets a little wild and the team decides to hold out and select […]

The Sacramento Kings vs. Golden State Warriors has been the most compelling series of the NBA playoffs. Every game has been exciting, and there is little between the two teams, as the 2-2 tie ahead of Game 5 indicates. With the Kings-Warriors odds still close for every game and the series, it may be tempting […]

The 2023 NFL Draft is upon us, which not only means new players coming into the league. It also means getting ready for NFL draft trades. Last April, we saw A.J. Brown, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, and Troy Hill moved on draft weekend. This year, with what’s widely regarded as a weak draft class, teams may […]

The Aaron Rodgers trade is officially in the books, and the future Hall of Famer will be the quarterback for the New York Jets next season. The Jets got their man, and the organization and its fans are happy about it. However, after seeing what the team gave up to get the 18-year NFL veteran, […]

The Sacramento Kings headed to San Francisco with a commanding 2-0 lead over the Golden State Warriors. Now, they return to the California capital tied 2-2. The team suffered two losses on the road in their opening 2023 NBA playoffs series. Game 3 was a 17-point wire-to-wire win for the Warriors and Game 4 was […]

The San Francisco 49ers draft won’t start until late Friday night unless the team makes a trade up. After making bold trades (with varying degrees of success) for Trey Lance and Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers don’t pick until the 99th overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft. While the pick is late, there are still […]

The New York Giants’ first-round pick could go in several directions. There are a few different Giants draft needs the team can address at pick No. 25, including wide receiver, defensive tackle, or offensive line. If the team does try and go in one of these directions, here are three sneaky options for the No. […]

The Las Vegas Raiders draft No. 7 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. At this point, the team has several options for what they can do. The team can take the best available players, select a QB for the future, or even trade back. Here are three bold Raiders draft predictions that include the team […]

The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl last season, so the Chiefs’ first-round pick is the last of Day 1. Despite winning it all last year, there are still Chiefs draft needs the team must address at the 2023 NFL Draft. Among those needs are wide receiver, offensive line, and edge rusher, as well […]

Nick Nurse is out as head coach of the Toronto Raptors. The coach led the team to an improbably NBA championship in 2019, and four years later, he’s looking for a new job. Nurse’s job search shouldn’t take all that long, though. A coach with his track record of success will be in-demand, and rumors […]

The Sacramento Kings took a 2-0 series lead in the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Golden State Warriors and then promptly lost by 17 in Game 3 of the Kings-Warriors series. This was the game where Draymond Green served his suspension for stomping on Domantas Sabonis in Game 2, yet the Kings […]

The New York Knicks looked bad in Game 2 of their 2023 NBA playoffs series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks lost 107-90 and the game wasn’t close for the final three quarters. Now, Knicks-Cavs Game 3 moves to Madison Square Garden, and the winner will take an all-important 2-1 lead when the final buzzer […]

The Sacramento Kings finished the 2022-23 regular season as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, yet the Golden State Warriors started out as a -275 favorite to win the series. After two huge wins in Sacramento, the Kings are now up 2-0 heading to San Francisco, and according to FanDuel, the Kings-Warriors odds […]

After the Los Angeles Lakers Game 1 win, things didn’t look good for the Memphis Grizzlies. The team was already without center Steven Adams and now superstar Ja Morant was out for the Grizzlies Game 2 NBA playoffs matchup. But the Grizzlies punked the Lakers on Wednesday night and won the game 103-93. Here’s how […]

With the Buffalo Bills’ first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, there are plenty of options to consider. At No. 27, mock drafts are all over the place, giving the Bills running backs, wide receivers, linebackers, cornerbacks, and (offensive and defensive) linemen. Looking at the Bills’ draft needs for next season, here are three sneaky […]

The Los Angeles Rams and head coach Sean McVay went from a Super Bowl title to a 5-12 record in 2022. And along with that, the team’s “f*** them picks” mantra has left them, again, without a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Just because the team doesn’t have a first-rounder doesn’t mean they […]

The Trey Lance trade rumors are heating up following a report saying the San Francisco 49ers have fielded calls from teams on the matter. Between the emergence of Brock Purdy last season and the 49ers’ lack of draft capital due to the Christian McCaffrey trade and the initial trade-up to get Lance in the first […]

With the new Jalen Hurts contract extension, the Philadelphia Eagles QB is now the highest-paid player in NFL history. That’s right. The quarterback who couldn’t beat out Tua Tagovailoa at Alabama and had to transfer to Oklahoma will now make $51 million per season. Obviously, this is life-changing for the Eagles quarterback, but it also […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves Game 1 of the NBA playoffs was a disaster. The team lost 109-80 to the Denver Nuggets, and the game was never close after the home team went up by 10 midway through the second quarter. And in a blowout loss like this Timberwolves-Nuggets game, there is no one to blame other […]

The Phoenix Suns Game 1 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the Western Conference NBA playoffs was an exciting, back-and-forth game featuring two good teams and numerous NBA superstars. It was a shame one team had to lose, but those are the breaks. And after a team loses, we have […]

The Seattle Seahawks shocked the NFL last season by making the playoffs after trading franchise quarterback Russell Wilson last offseason. And as a nice bonus, the Denver Broncos stunk last season and the Seahawks have the No. 5 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft because of it. Now, the best Seahawks draft move is to […]

The Arizona Cardinals currently own the No. 3 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and when you pick that high, you’ve got to make it count. Arizona doesn’t need (or really, can’t afford) to take a quarterback, so they should get the best, safest, non-QB available. And that Cardinals draft pick would be Alabama pass-rusher […]
