When Roger Craig watches New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall play, he’s reminded of a certain former NFL star. Himself. “He has the tools and I like his style of play,” Craig told ESPN’s Rich Cimini. “Breece runs the ball, he catches out of the backfield, he blocks. He does everything, like me. […]

The New York Jets filled quite a few big holes on the roster with their haul in the 2022 NFL Draft. And they’re hopeful that they’ll develop another useful player or two from the group of undrafted rookie free agents they signed. There’s no doubt all eyes will be on first-round picks Sauce Gardner, Garrett […]

The Chicago Bears are Justin Fields’ team – for now. The jury is still out on him, but the Bears definitely have him installed as their no. 1 quarterback, the most important player on the team heading to the 2022 NFL season. But Chicago didn’t get him a lot of help via the draft. They […]

The Miami Dolphins have made numerous big moves in the offseason as they set themselves up to challenge the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East. With a ton of new faces on the roster, this franchise hopes to get back into playoff contention sooner, rather than later. To do so, they’ll need a little help […]

After a horrifically dramatic year with Urban Meyer as the head coach, the Jacksonville Jaguars have given themselves a clean slate in rebuilding the roster. Doug Pederson is a solid coach who should be able to develop Trevor Lawrence while the front office has reeled in a haul of players this offseason. However, we take […]

Joe Douglas is smart enough to know that things can go sideways quickly in the National Football League, especially for the New York Jets. So, while he basks in the afterglow of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Jets general manager needs only to look back at his first draft class with the team to see […]

The Washington Commanders had an interesting NFL Draft, with many pundits believing that the franchise reached for some of their picks, most notably for wide receiver Jahan Dotson, who some had as more of a second-round selection. However, the Commanders managed to find a couple of values with their next two picks, selecting a pair […]

The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t possess a pick in the NFL Draft’s first two rounds but still ended up with a solid class of rookies. Led by third rounder Dylan Parham and running back Zamir White, the Raiders got off to a good start by adding depth to two key areas on the offensive side […]

The Philadelphia Eagles had arguably the most productive 2022 NFL Draft outing. At the beginning of the offseason, the team had three first-round picks. So much potential early on gave Philadelphia leverage for trades that took place before and during the draft. After a ton of behind-the-scenes work by Howie Roseman, the Eagles look sharper […]

At this point, the Atlanta Falcons really are just playing for the 2023 NFL Draft, seeing as how they truly have no legitimate shot at competing this season. After their trade of franchise icon Matt Ryan to the Indianapolis Colts, they were tasked with finding a solution at QB, plus they still need to figure […]

Fresh off a disappointing showing in the NFC Championship Game, the San Francisco 49ers have a lot to be happy about stemming from their surprising 2021-22 NFL season. With Jimmy Garoppolo still entrenched as starting QB, the emergence of Deebo Samuel as their Swiss army knife, and the defense still being quite good, the 49ers […]

The Buffalo Bills had a solid NFL Draft, addressing both sides of the ball with their first four picks. Rookie cornerback Kaiir Elam brings some much-needed depth on the outside, suddenly giving an already-strong secondary a chance to be perhaps the league’s stingiest in 2022. Running back James Cook figures to be another weapon for […]

The Seattle Seahawks had an excellent draft, landing key contributors on both sides of the ball, such as offensive lineman Charles Cross, running back Kenneth Walker III and edge rusher Boye Mafe with their first three picks. Each of those players will make a huge impact for the Seahawks in the 2022 NFL season. However, […]

The Atlanta Falcons are finally in a position to start building a solid foundation for the roster. With Julio Jones and Matt Ryan out of the picture, this franchise has officially entered a new era. It’ll be interesting to see how this team fairs, but there will be opportunities for lesser-known players. We take a […]

Davante Adams has had a long and successful career in the league so far. After spending years playing with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, he now plays for the Las Vegas Raiders. However, the superstar wide receiver revealed he thought he’d be playing for the Carolina Panthers to begin his career. According to […]

The Arizona Cardinals came into the 2022 NFL Draft with plenty of needs on their roster. General manager Steve Keim did a solid job of addressing them throughout the draft despite trading away his first-round selection. There are plenty of exciting players in this Cardinals class who could make an immediate impact. However, the most […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of the most complete rosters in the NFL. Their team is loaded with veteran talent at key positions, making it difficult for rookies to make an immediate impact on the squad. However, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. There are several rookies from the Bucs’ 2022 draft class who should […]

It’s been a wild offseason and the San Francisco 49ers find themselves in a decent spot. We’ll see how this franchise bounces back from their playoff exit, as the front office has made multiple moves to keep the team competitive. They’ll need some help from everyone, as the NFC West is incredibly stacked. We take […]

Tennessee Titans fans have gone through a roller coaster of emotions in the offseason so far. The franchise traded away AJ Brown and replaced him with Treylon Burks. This offense is going through some changes right now and it’ll be interesting to see who steps up. We take a look at one Titans rookie sleeper […]

Heading in to the 2022 NFL season, the Baltimore Ravens expect to return to the playoffs after an injury-plagued 2021 season. To help the cause, they were able to have one of the better drafts in the league, led by GM Eric DeCosta. They began the draft with two steals in the first round in […]

The NFC North should be an interesting race, as the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings look like the top two teams in the division. For Minnesota, they’re finally within striking distance of taking over the division from Green Bay. However, picking up some additional help out of free agency would help. We go over […]

The Ben Roethlisberger era in Pittsburgh is over after 18 seasons. Roethlisberger is a future Hall of Fame quarterback who was the face of the Steelers during his time with the organization. But the 40-year old announced his retirement following the conclusion of the 2021-2022 campaign. However, he may not be done helping out the […]

The Washington Commanders have put themselves in a decent spot to get back into playoff contention. Although the quarterback position is still a concern, this team is ready to make some noise in the upcoming season. However, this franchise could be taken more seriously if they add a little more firepower to the defense. We […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars began their defensive overhaul in the 2022 NFL Draft, selecting Georgia defensive end Travon Walker with the number-one overall pick. Originally projected to be taken in the middle of the first round, Walker skyrocketed up draft boards after a fantastic NFL Combine performance. On Thursday, the Jaguars agreed to a contract with […]

For the third time in their history, the Cincinnati Bengals came as close as you can get to the promised land, but for the third time in their history they were denied entry. For a team that allowed 55 sacks, even getting to the Super Bowl was remarkable, but let’s not forget that they absolutely […]

Having won their first NFC East crown since 2018 and their fourth since 2010, the Dallas Cowboys have a lot to build off of heading into the 2022-23 NFL season. After addressing some roster needs through the 2022 NFL Draft, the Cowboys roster looks a lot better than it did when they lost to the […]

The New York Giants are in a difficult place as a franchise. They are coming off a 4-13 season in 2021 and enter with largely the same core intact. New York had a notable draft in which they added Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal with the 5th and 7th overall picks. The addition of Neal […]

The Denver Broncos didn’t have any picks in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft after sending three players and draft capital to the Seattle Seahawks for Russell Wilson. GM George Paton couldn’t help but feel antsy, waiting for quite a while to use the Broncos’ first pick of the draft in the late […]

The Chicago Bears seem to be in a rebuild at the moment, as the front office didn’t quite bring in the haul of exciting players the fan base was hoping for. Even so, the defense is in a great spot and should keep Chicago in most of their matchups. Offensively, this franchise might struggle, which […]

It’s been a wild offseason for the Seattle Seahawks so far. They’ve made some bold moves in an attempt to get back on track. It might take some time though, but if the front office makes the right moves, Seattle should be back in business in no time. We take a look at two moves […]

Rare has been the day in the history of the New York Jets that they’ve been celebrated for their selections in the NFL Draft. But general manager Joe Douglas and his staff have received near-universal acclaim for their work in the 2022 draft, a haul that included three first-round picks and four potential starters this […]

The Carolina Panthers had a solid NFL Draft, bringing in a difference-maker on the offensive line in NC State’s Ikem Ekwonu, then taking perhaps their quarterback of the future in Matt Corral. Armed with a hefty amount of cap space, Carolina can now turn their focus to the remaining free agents left- as well as […]

The Miami Dolphins have had an eventful offseason, doing everything they can to become a contender. The team made a big offseason trade for superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Miami is doing everything it can to give quarterback Tua Tagovailoa what he needs to succeed. Tagovailoa was drafted by the Dolphins with the 5th pick […]

The Green Bay Packers entered the 2022 NFL draft with a need at wide receiver. After trading away Davante Adams and losing the speedy Marquez Valdes-Scantling to free agency, the cupboard was awfully bare for star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The first round came and went, with no receivers selected by general manager Brian Gutekunst, who […]

The Carolina Panthers surprised many when they opted to select NC State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu with the sixth pick in the first round of the NFL Draft, opting against taking a quarterback at that spot. However, Ekwonu fills a glaring need on the offensive line as a talented blocker with a mean streak. As […]

Ever since Cam Newton departed for the first time, the Carolina Panthers have had issues finding their next quarterback of the future. While the 2022 NFL Draft certainly provided quite a few interesting storylines to follow with its drafted QBs, the Panthers may have lucked into finding their next starter. Tied to pretty much every […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers addressed their offensive needs in a big way in the 2022 NFL Draft. They picked quarterback Kenny Pickett and wide receiver George Pickens with their first two selections. Now, the team still has some needs to address heading into the summer before training camp. The team has a rich history that includes […]

By not having a first-round selection due to their trade-up for Justin Fields last year, the 2022 NFL Draft did not start until Day 2 for the Chicago Bears. With plenty of holes around this team needing to be addressed by new GM Ryan Poles, this team has a lot of areas that were worthy […]

The Kansas City Chiefs have once again emerged from the offseason as one of the best contenders in the NFL. General manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid have done a great job retaining and adding talent to a roster that made the AFC Championship last season. Despite that, there are a couple of […]
