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 […]

The Seattle Seahawks have impressed so far this season in spite of their inability to get after the quarterback. To address their pass-rushing woes, Florida defensive end Jabari Zuniga and the Seahawks could be an intriguing fit in the 2020 NFL Draft. Before the season began, Seattle made a trade to acquire Jadeveon Clowney from […]

The Green Bay Packers have made vast improvements on the defensive side of the ball, but there are still areas for growth. In light of that, Florida State defensive lineman Marvin Wilson could make sense for the Packers in the 2020 NFL Draft. This past offseason, Green Bay committed $48 million in guaranteed money to […]

The Carolina Panthers have watched their season fall to the wayside as they’ve lost five straight games. With Carolina looking ahead to the future, TCU wide receiver Jalen Reagor and the Panthers would be an excellent fit in the 2020 NFL Draft. Following Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Panthers have fallen to 5-8 […]

The Green Bay Packers should certainly still be focused on a possible Super Bowl run given that they sit atop the NFC North standings. However, it’s still fascinating to think about the possibilities of what they can add to their team in the offseason. One player in the 2020 NFL Draft that would be particularly […]

The Detroit Lions have plenty of needs to improve their roster for next season and they have to consider taking a wide receiver. Given that, the Lions and Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy would be an intriguing match. In Matt Patricia’s second season as head coach, the Lions currently have a 3-8-1 record and is […]

It appears that father time has finally caught up with Philip Rivers. In his 16th NFL season, Rivers has shown his age. After a solid 2018 from both Rivers and the Chargers as a whole, the veteran quarterback has struggled in 2019 completing just 64.7 percent of his passes for 3434 yards, 17 touchdowns, and […]

When you lose an elite wide receiver such as Antonio Brown, it only makes sense that the offense takes a step back. To be fair, the health of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the inconsistency of backup Mason Rudolph should equally share the blame for the Steelers’ offensive woes. And Juju Smith-Schuster remains one of the […]

Season-ending injuries are a terrible reality for players who are highly-touted draft picks. And no one is a better example of that than Tua Tagovailoa after his dislocated and fractured hip injury he suffered weeks ago. At a press conference this week, the Crimson Tide quarterback was candid about not only how much he will […]

Officially, the NCAA’s top athletes are eligible to declare for the 2020 NFL Draft, if they meet requirements. One of April’s most polarizing figures, Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa, has yet to decide on if he will join on the festivities to see whom he will be employed by. Tagovailoa, who is out for the season, is […]

Any Alabama defensive player is attractive at the next level. The Crimson Tide could have eight players selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Trevon Diggs is one of the players on the cusp. Diggs has a chance to go from one storied program to another in Dallas. The Dallas Cowboys are […]

The New York Jets are in desperate need of a cornerback. Their front seven has been playing strong all season. The Jets are one of the top teams in rush defense, but their secondary has been getting attacked. Trumaine Johnson has been a huge disappointment this season, which leaves a major hole. Come the 2020 […]

The Carolina Panthers recently parted ways with longtime coach Ron Rivera. Cam Newton is on his way out in Carolina so the franchise will take on a new identity in 2020. The future of Kyle Allen with the team is up in the air. There are plenty of decisions to be made in Carolina and […]

Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor is the best running back in the country. The same could be said last season. Arguments could be made for J.K. Dobbins or D’Andre Swift, but Taylor is at the top. The junior has carried the ball 279 times for 1,761 yards and 20 touchdowns this season. This is after posting 2,194 […]

The Falcons need a lot of help. They have needs at pretty much every position. The offensive line is bad and most of the time, the defense cant stop anyone. Perhaps most pressing, however, is their need for quality defensive backs. The Falcons have a solid, young safety duo with Damontae Kazee and Keanu Neal […]

If the NFL draft were to start today, the Los Angeles Chargers would have the No. 10 overall pick — not where most expected them to be at the beginning of the season. Enter Justin Herbert of Oregon. The 4-8 Chargers have struggled this season. Part of the reason for those struggles is the decline […]

The New York Jets are having a typical Jets’ season. They had high expectations coming in after adding some pieces in free agency. Those hopes were ended after becoming the first team in NFL history to lose twice in a season to teams that are 0-7 or worse. At 4-8, they should have their sights […]

Tua Tagovailoa might go down as one of the best collegiate quarterbacks in history. He will enter the NFL draft with 87 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his career at Alabama. However, Tagovailoa’s collegiate career was cut short as a result of a hip injury against Mississippi State. It will keep him sidelined for an extended […]

The wide receiver talent in the 2020 draft class is extremely deep. Players like Tee Higgins and CeeDee Lamb are climbing up draft boards but it is hard to go against Jerry Jeudy as the best receiving prospect in the draft. The New York Giants will have a top-five pick and they could be eyeing […]

The Minnesota Vikings took a chance on a former TCU wide receiver who was a free agent and it did not work out. They could be in line for another in the draft. The Vikings added Josh Doctson ad he was released just a few weeks later. In the 2020 NFL Draft, Minnesota could be […]

The Indianapolis Colts have had incredible luck at quarterback since 1998 when they drafted Peyton Manning. When Manning’s time was up, they suffered a one win season and ended up drafting Andrew Luck in 2012. Here in 2019, their luck has changed. Luck decided to retire before this season and they turned to Jacoby Brissett. […]

For as much publicity as Clemson sophomore quarterback Trevor Lawrence gets, often ignored is one of the most explosive playmakers in the NCAA. The Tigers’ junior running back, Travis Etienne has lit up college scoreboards since he was a true freshman in 2017 and with the back now being draft-eligible in 2020, you have to […]

Look at the Buffalo Bills. With their Thanksgiving win over the Dallas Cowboys, they are 9-3 with a commanding lead in the AFC Wild Card picture. Wild Card aside, they are all of a sudden just one game behind the New England Patriots for the top spot in the AFC East. Josh Allen is looking […]

Defense wins championships, and the New England Patriots take this tired cliche seriously. They have one of the best defenses in the NFL and are always looking for outstanding talent to add to their team. This is why fans see Kenneth Murray being a great fit for the Pats come the 2020 Draft. He’s one […]

The New Orleans Saints are poised to make another deep playoff run but there is a glaring weakness in their secondary. In light of that, Trevon Diggs and the Saints could be an ideal fit in the 2020 NFL Draft. By having a 10-2 record, New Orleans is currently projected to have the 30th overall […]

The New England Patriots have arguably built the greatest dynasty in NFL history, in large part due to their ability to reload every off-season via the draft and free agency. With that being said, Notre Dame linebacker Julian Okwara could make a lot of sense for the Patriots in the 2020 NFL Draft. New England […]

The Green Bay Packers are 8-3 in their first year under Matt LaFleur and are amid the tight playoff race in the NFC. Provided that, it’s never too early to look ahead and the Packers should look into Notre Dame pass rusher Khalid Kareem in the 2020 NFL Draft. At this moment, Green Bay holds […]

The 2019 NFL Draft saw two tight ends get selected in the first round. T.J. Hockenson and Noah Fant were both top-20 selections. In 2020, Jacob Breeland could continue the trend of first round tight ends. Breeland has quickly emerged as one of Justin Herbert’s favorite targets. He has 26 catches for 405 yards and […]

Can South Carolina defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw fit in Las Vegas? After trading star pass-rusher Khalil Mack prior to the 2018 and then subsequently compiling an embarrassing 13 total sacks that season, Mike Mayock, Jon Gruden and the Oakland Raiders have made rebuilding the defensive line a top priority. Selecting Clemson edge rusher Clelin Ferrell […]

The Green Bay Packers can add to their defense even more. After compiling 69 tackles and 8.5 sacks in 2017 as a sophomore for the national champion Alabama Crimson Tide, interior defensive lineman Raekwon Davis hasn’t taken the “next step” from a statistical perspective. Davis came to Tuscaloosa with high expectations — only natural for […]

The Indianapolis Colts need help. Should they look here? After a breakout 632-yard, six-touchdown season as a sophomore in 2018, Birmingham native and current Michigan wide receiver Nico Collins is enjoying a similarly successful season. Racking up 31 catches for 649 yards and seven touchdowns in 10 games this season, the 6-foot-4, 222-pound wideout is […]

After trading starting running back Kenyan Drake at this year’s trade deadline, the Miami Dolphins are in desperate need of talent. With Drake’s departure, running backs such as Wisconsin Badgers star Jonathan Taylor should be a top priority for a team looking for playmakers. Miami owns three first-round picks in this year’s draft (Miami, Pittsburgh […]

Jerry Jeudy gets most of the attention, but let’s not forget the other elite talent on Alabama. Henry Ruggs III would be the No. 1 receiver on any other team in the nation. He will be selected in the first round along with Jeudy. Could he end up in Carolina with the Panthers? Ruggs burst […]

The New England Patriots are one of few teams that should feel comfortable at quarterback. They have a player named Tom Brady who is arguably the best quarterback of all-time and has six Super Bowl championships. The only problem is that Brady turned 42 years old in August. Brady is still playing at an extremely […]

The Miami Dolphins lack reliable options at wide receiver and will have plenty of draft picks to address the position. Among their options, Henry Ruggs III would be an intriguing option for the Dolphins in the 2020 NFL Draft. There’s no surprise that Miami will be selecting near the top of the draft in next […]

The Detroit Lions have had an extremely disappointing season and the defense has been underwhelming in Matt Patricia’s second season as head coach. In light of that, the Lions would be wise to target Alabama’s Trevon Diggs in the 2020 NFL Draft. In spite of Patricia being a defensive-oriented coach, Detroit’s defense has been utterly […]

The 2020 NFL Draft is loaded with wide receiver talent. One of the best in the country right now is Clemson product Tee Higgins. During the Tigers’ run to the National Championship last season, Higgins put his name on the map by making some tough catches in traffic. Higgins finished last season with 936 yards […]

Collin Johnson is without a doubt, a polarizing NFL prospect. Possessing an incredible 6-foot-6, 220-pound frame, the Texas wide receiver is built like a character you’d create to dominate in Madden. Coming off a 2018 junior season that saw Johnson reel in 68 catches for 985 yards and seven touchdowns, the rising senior seemed prime […]
