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 […]

The Green Bay Packers NFL draft this year is (probably) the first of the Jordan Love Era. That means there is more pressure now than in most drafts to make picks to help the team’s quarterback succeed. With that in mind, here are the three reasons Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer would be perfect […]

NFL mock draft season is officially upon us, and for the Arizona Cardinals in the 2023 NFL draft, the team has eight picks to try to get the team out of the NFL basement next season. In this Cardinals mock draft, we’ll look at all eight picks and predict what the Commanders will do to […]

The Buffalo Bills roster has been considered one of the deepest and most talented in the league. However, after a stunning home playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, that sentiment is now questionable. That’s why the 2023 NFL Draft is so crucial for the organization. This Bills’ draft must include impact players, or the team […]

It is officially NFL mock draft season, and for the Washington Commanders in the 2023 NFL draft, the team has eight picks to try and keep up with the Jones’s (and Mara’s and Lurie’s) in the NFC East. In this Commanders mock draft, we’ll look at all eight picks and predict what the Commanders will […]

It is finally NFL mock draft season, and for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2023 NFL draft, the team has seven picks to try and overtake the Philadelphia Eagles while holding off the New York Giants in the NFC East. In this Cowboys mock draft, we’ll look at all seven picks and predict what the […]

NFL mock draft season is officially here, and for the New York Giants in the 2023 NFL draft, the team has 10 picks to continue building on last season’s playoff success. For this Giants mock draft, we’ll look at all 10 picks and predict what the Giants will do to help them return to the […]

In early April, it is officially NFL mock draft season. For the Kansas City Chiefs NFL draft, the team has 10 picks to restock the roster for another Super Bowl run. In this Chiefs mock draft, we’ll look at all 10 picks and predict what the Chiefs will do to help them return to the […]

The Green Bay Packers are about to turn a major organizational page going from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love. That makes the 2023 NFL Draft the first of the Jordan Love era. With that in mind, it makes the Packers draft incredibly important this offseason, which is why the team needs to avoid making the […]

The Las Vegas Raiders were arguably the most disappointing team in the league last season. Now, Josh McDaniels and company need to crush the 2023 NFL Draft to help turn things around. That’s a lot of pressure on this Raiders draft, and there will be a temptation to take a massive home run swing with […]

The Kansas City Chiefs head into the 2023 NFL Draft with the last pick in the first rounds after winning the Super Bowl last season. The Chiefs draft in 2022 played a major role in the team doing as well as it did, and to keep the good times rolling in Kansas City, general manager […]

The Los Angeles Rams have spent years trading away picks to win now, so pretty much all their selections in the 2023 NFL draft will have to be NFL draft sleepers. LA doesn’t pick until the early second round (No. 36), but then has two thirds, three fifths, three sixths, and two sevenths. During this […]

The Buffalo Bills need a big 2023 NFL draft. General manager Brandon Beane hasn’t drafted a Pro Bowl player since 2018, and the talent gap is starting to show. That means these Bills draft picks need to be able to contribute and not fall into the same traps that previous picks have in the last […]

As the NFL offseason rolls along, it’s time for the New York Giants to get ready for the 2023 NFL Draft. While most of the analysis right now deals with the first-round pick, the Giants draft will be a win or a loss based on Day 2 and Day 3 as much as anything else. […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a Super Bowl win thanks, in large part, to the strength of the team’s 2022 NFL Draft. For the Chiefs draft in 2023, the team needs to keep the good picks rolling, and that means hitting on some NFL draft sleepers. Obviously, as Super Bowl champs, the Chiefs […]

As the Buffalo Bills prepare for the 2023 NFL Draft, there is a lot of pressure on general manager Brandon Beane. A Bills draft hasn’t featured a Pro Bowl player since 2018, and the talent gap is starting to show. Beane and company need a strong draft to keep the Super Bowl window open for […]

The Carolina Panthers aren’t just in NFL Draft and free-agency season. It’s NFL trade season, too. And in the 2023 NFL offseason, a Panthers trade for the No. 1 pick is already the biggest blockbuster. Now the team needs to make one more deal and get an additional mid-round pick for quarterback Matt Corral. The […]

We all know the Green Bay Packers trade the franchise has to make in the 2023 NFL offseason is moving Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. However, there is another move the team should make, too. Rodgers’ good buddy, left tackle David Bakhtiari, should be a package deal with the QB, which would work […]

The Sacramento Kings have already shocked the world by (soon) clinching a top-three seed heading into the 2023 NBA playoffs. Now, as the Kings playoffs get underway, the young team will be looking to silence their doubters even more with a Kings NBA Finals run. Is it possible that a franchise that hasn’t made the […]

The last New York Knicks NBA Finals appearance was back in 1999. The last Knicks playoffs series win was in 2013. As the team prepares for the 2023 NBA playoffs, those dates may not be inspiring. But each season a franchise makes the playoffs brings new hope that an NBA title (which would be the […]

The Golden State Warriors have appeared in six of the last eight NBA Finals and won four titles along the way. The 2022-23 version of the team didn’t look like a contender or even an NBA playoffs team early in the season, but they are now playing well, suggesting a vintage Warriors playoffs run could […]

The Phoenix Suns’ NBA playoffs journey is about to begin. The team made it to the NBA Finals in 2021 and the Western Conference semifinals in 2022. With the addition of Kevin Durant at the NBA trade deadline, will there be another Suns NBA Finals run this season? The road won’t be easy for KD, […]

The Houston Texans head into the 2023 NFL Draft with two first-round picks at No.2 and No. 12. With the first pick, the Texans will almost assuredly take a quarterback, although whether that is Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson remains up in the air. At No. 12, the team could grab a player to help […]

The Indianapolis Colts go into the 2023 NFL Draft with the No. 4 overall pick and some known issues to address. However, the team is going nowhere — no matter how solid the roster — until they get a quarterback. With that in mind, here are the three best Colts NFL draft targets: Anthony Richardson, […]

New Orleans Saints free agency has been busy for the team, despite their long-term salary cap issues. The Saints’ free agent signings include quarterback Derek Carr, defensive tackle Khalen Saunders, and safety Johnathan Abram. However, the sneakiest Saints move in 2023 NFL free agency is inking former Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams. Here is […]

The Tennessee Titans approach the 2023 NFL Draft with plenty of roster holes to fill on both sides of the ball. Picking at No. 11, the team can look to replace A.J. Brown, who they traded last offseason, Taylor Lewan, who they released this offseason, or go defense and draft a playmaker up front. With […]

The Las Vegas Raiders come into the 2023 NFL Draft with several roster holes to fill on both sides of the ball. They also have the No. 7 pick, which means they could take a big swing and try to find their franchise of the future. With that in mind, here are the three best […]

The Dallas Cowboys are heading into the 2023 NFL Draft with several roster holes to fill on both sides of the ball. With pick No. 26, the team could address the skill positions on the offensive side of the ball or beef up the defensive line. With that in mind, here are the three best […]

The Denver Broncos have made some bold moves in 2023 NFL free agency. The Broncos’ free agent signings under new head coach Sean Payton include right tackle Mike McGlinchey, guard Ben Powers, and defensive lineman Zach Allen. However, the sneakiest Broncos’ free agency move is signing backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham from the Las Vegas Raiders. […]

The Washington Commanders have made some solid moves in 2023 NFL free agency. The Commanders’ free agent signings include quarterback Jacoby Brissett, guard/center Nick Gates, and linebacker Cody Barton. However, the sneakiest Commanders’ free agency move is signing tackle Andrew Wylie away from the Kansas City Chiefs. Andrew Wylie is the sneakiest Commanders’ free agent […]

The Detroit Lions have made some big moves in 2023 NFL free agency. The Lions’ free agent signings include cornerback Cameron Sutton, defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, and running back David Montgomery. However, the sneakiest Lions free agency move is signing cornerback Emmanuel Moseley away from the San Francisco 49ers. Emmanuel Moseley is the sneakiest Lions’ […]

NFL free agency came in like a lion and is going out like a lamb in the 2023 NFL offseason. There are still players left on the market, but most of the big moves are complete. And while there are some teams that won in free agency this year, we also have to discuss the […]

This NFL offseason, the Seattle Seahawks roster has undergone some changes. The franchise brought in defensive end Dre’Mont Jones in NFL free agency, locked up quarterback Geno Smith, and lost a few players, like running back Rashaad Penny. Overall, it’s been a good few months for the Seahawks, but after a week of free agency […]
