The New York Giants could be getting a steal if they decide to select Miami wide receiver Jeff Thomas in one of the last few rounds in April. Golden Tate, Darius Slayton, and Sterling Shepard are all under contract for next season, but Thomas would be a project guy, not someone who was expected to […]

The Green Bay Packers have a solid linebacker corps, but adding Jordyn Brooks out of Texas Tech could be the move that turns it into an elite squad. Preston Smith and Za’Darius Smith are both strong anchors of the defense and are under contract for the next few years. Blake Martinez has also been a […]

The Atlanta Falcons are heading into the upcoming offseason with a few things on their agenda. They have decided to keep head coach Dan Quinn around for another year, which means that they must give him more talent to work with. Looking ahead to the 2020 NFL Draft, there is one potential second-round prospect that […]

Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney was right about Deshaun Watson being a good NFL quarterback, and he feels like Tua Tagovailoa will be in a similar boat. Speaking to reporters leading up to the National title game, Swinney said he expects Tagovailoa to make a full recovery, and will be a great NFL player […]

A former quarterback taken No. 1 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals thinks the Bengals should repeat history and take another quarterback.

The Colts decided to draft Ya-Sin with the 34th overall pick in the […]

The Arizona Cardinals have been searching for someone to form a dynamic cornerback duo with Patrick Peterson for plenty of years.

Throughout the draft process, Murphy was […]

Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Tua Tagovailoa announced on Monday that he is officially declaring for the NFL draft, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

It was a disappointing season for the Indianapolis Colts. In their first season without Andrew Luck, they finished with a 7-9 record and ranked third in the AFC South standings. There are some glaring needs for this team, including quarterback, but one key need is in the secondary. The Colts hold the 13th pick in […]

Daniel Jones will get the most attention as the New York Giants first-round pick in 2019. That’s because he was selected sixth overall and is a quarterback. It also helps that at the time it was a very controversial selection. However, Jones was not the only first-round pick by the Giants in 2019. They also […]

The Los Angeles Chargers might have a need at running back this offseason and if that turns out to be the case, the team should look at Florida State back Cam Akers in the fourth round. Austin Ekeler is a restricted free agent this offseason, but all signs point towards him being back with the […]

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone and general manager David Caldwell have been retained for this season, but if they struggle it could be the end of the road, which makes this draft ultra-important. They need to hit on a player who can make an instant impact with the ninth overall pick. Let’s dive in […]

The Green Bay Packers used the 12th overall pick on Rashan Gary out of Michigan in the 2019 NFL Draft. Gary was the fourth edge-rusher taken in the draft and was regarded as a player that could develop into a talented pass rusher in the NFL. Throughout the draft process, there were red flags surrounding […]

The Cleveland Browns have had an embarrassing season this year as they failed many people’s expectations. They finished third in the AFC North and missed the playoffs once again despite upgrading their roster in the offseason.

The Oakland Raiders owned three first-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. With the fourth-overall pick, the Raiders chose to select Clelin Ferrell—a highly-touted defensive end out of Clemson. When Oakland drafted Ferrell, they were expecting to get an immediate difference-maker on the defensive front. However, Ferrell had a wildly inconsistent rookie campaign with the […]

The Cleveland Browns will have some decisions to make at their safety positions and could choose to address the position in the upcoming draft. In light of that, the Browns should already be targeting Alabama safety Xavier McKinney. The Browns ended the 2019 season with a 6-10 record following an offseason of sky-high expectations. As […]

It has been 28 seasons since the Detroit Lions last won a playoff game. It is safe to say that there is not one on the horizon. The Lions are coming off a 3-12-1 campaign in Matt Patricia’s second season as head coach. The Lions are in need of a culture change and that will […]

It was another disappointing season for the New York Jets. Stop me if you’ve heard that before. The Jets finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the ninth straight season. That landed them with the No. 11 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and many upgrades to make. With Pat Shurmur and Freddie Kitchens both […]

The Indianapolis Colts went 7-9 in 2019. While that record is nothing to write home about, it’s a lot better than many were expecting. Right before the start of the regular season, Andrew Luck retired. That left the team without their star quarterback. Suddenly, a team that was expected to be a serious Super Bowl […]

The Atlanta Falcons need to make a splash in the 2020 NFL Draft. With the news that head coach Dan Quinn is returning as head coach in 2020, Quinn will have a short leash and will certainly be on the hot seat. What better way to add serious talent than to take the local star […]

Coming into the 2019 college football season, Virginia cornerback Bryce Hall was seen as first-round talent. Unfortunately, an ankle injury cut Hall’s senior season short. The Cavaliers star has played in just six games this season after being named a second-team All-American the year prior. The left ankle injury has understandably hurt Hall’s draft stock […]

The NFL regular season will be coming to a close on Sunday, which means that some teams will shift their focus to next year’s draft. One of the players who is expected to go early in the 2020 NFL Draft is Ohio State cornerback Jeffrey Okudah. Okudah has spent three seasons at Ohio State and […]

The Chicago Bears have struggled through a brutal season after being one of the best teams in the NFL in 2018. With a ton of hype coming into the season and some saying Mitchell Trubisky would be an MVP candidate, the Bears have been eliminated from playoff contention and are just 7-8. It has been […]

The Denver Broncos are adamant about wanting to build a defense-oriented team under Vic Fangio. With that being said, the Broncos should have some interest in Ohio State linebacker Malik Harrison in the 2020 NFL Draft. When Denver chose to hire Fangio as head coach before the 2019 season, it showed they wanted to return […]

The Green Bay Packers will enter the playoffs this year with Davante Adams as their only reliable option at the wide receiver position. This begs the question, what if the Packers had drafted Tyreek Hill in the 2016 NFL Draft? During the 2016 NFL Draft, Green Bay selected Trevor Davis with the 163rd overall pick. […]

Another quarterback projected to be highly coveted has declared for the 2020 NFL Draft, as Washington quarterback Jacob Eason revealed that he’ll be skipping his final year of eligibility to enter the upcoming draft. Thank you Husky nation! pic.twitter.com/apDKvh8d5s — Jacob Eason (@skinnyqb10) December 26, 2019 In a letter shared to Twitter, Eason thanked everyone […]

The Oakland Raiders have had quite a few issues in their young secondary in 2019. With that in mind, Florida cornerback C.J. Henderson would make a lot of sense for them in the 2020 NFL Draft. With just one week remaining in the regular season, Oakland has the 25th-ranked pass defense in the NFL. The […]

The Seattle Seahawks pride themselves on being able to run the ball effectively. With that in mind, what if the Seahawks had drafted Dalvin Cook in the 2017 NFL Draft? Seattle’s first selection of the draft in 2017 came with the 35th overall pick in the second round. After taking some time to decide who […]

Although the Green Bay Packers are gearing up for a potential Super Bowl run, that doesn’t mean their scouts aren’t out searching for the next wave of players to join the team. Arizona State junior running back Eno Benjamin should be one of those players. Benjamin burst onto the scene as a sophomore for the […]

Is anyone surprised the Cleveland Browns did not pan out in 2019? This was the most predictable team failures in years. There are plenty of reasons why the Browns will notch another losing season. First, Baker Mayfield was highly overrated coming into the season and there is no reason why. Many thought that the addition […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have no sense of direction at the moment. Doug Marrone may or may not be out of town and the team recently parted ways with Tom Coughlin. Rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew has been starting games for Jacksonville with Nick Foles on the bench. The Jaguars gave Foles a four-year, $88 million deal. […]

Sunday was the battle for the worst, as the Cincinnati Bengals came away with the 38-35 “win” (read: loss) against the Miami Dolphins in their Week 16 matchup, which clinched the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Bengals erased a 35-12 deficit in the fourth quarter and scored a miracle touchdown as […]

The San Francisco 49ers have been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this season. After years of struggling, the franchise has been one of the league’s top teams this year. Following their big win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16, the 49ers are now 12-3 at the time of this writing. […]

The Minnesota Vikings have a need at wide receiver and Michigan wideout Tarik Black is a guy who could fill that role perfectly. The Vikings have Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs, who are going to be the top two receivers for the next couple of years. This season, the team has had issues finding a […]

The Oakland Raiders have gradually fallen out of the playoff race and can begin to look forward to next year. With that in mind, the Raiders should consider taking Alabama linebacker Dylan Moses in the 2020 NFL Draft. Before the season began, Oakland signed Brandon Marshall, Vontaze Burfict, and Will Compton at inside linebacker. Marshall […]

The Los Angeles Rams have shown that they have a few holes to fill after the 2019 season comes to a close. Among their needs, Ohio State cornerback Shaun Wade could make sense as a second-round target for the Rams in 2020 NFL Draft. Earlier this season, Los Angeles surrendered a ton of draft capital […]
