However, it is also possible that Tagovailoa […]

The Detroit Lions are coming off yet another disappointing year under the tenure of head coach Matt Patricia after finishing the 2019 NFL season with a 3-12-1 record.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Cleveland Browns will have some decisions to make at their safety positions and could choose to address the position in the upcoming draft.

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 Chicago Bears have struggled through a brutal season after being one of the best teams in the NFL in 2018.

The Denver Broncos are adamant about wanting to build a defense-oriented team under Vic Fangio.

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.

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?

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.

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.
