The Washington Commanders were well-positioned to exit the 2024 NFL Draft with a bounty of new players, and that’s precisely what they ended up doing. It began at the top with the second overall pick, which they used to select LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, and continued into Day 2 of the draft, where they ended […]

After a playoff berth seemed certain, the Jacksonville Jaguars somehow ended their season on the couch and not in the postseason. The Jaguars were 8-3 heading into Week 13, but five losses in their last six games doomed a team that looked destined to build on last year’s playoff victory. The team addressed many of […]

For the fourth time in five years, the San Francisco 49ers reached the NFC Championship Game in 2023. Under the guidance of head coach Kyle Shanahan, the Niners reached the Super Bowl for the second time during this stretch but still found themselves unable to take home a sixth Super Bowl ring. Much of that […]

The Seattle Seahawks kicked off the 2024 NFL Draft with defensive tackle Byron Murphy II and finished with offensive tackle Michael Jerrell. After the draft, the Seahawks didn’t stop trying to improve their roster this offseason, though. General manager John Schneider and new Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald also brought in 16 undrafted free agents, […]

The New England Patriots entered the 2024 NFL Draft with some clear needs, and they left having addressed those areas in relatively convincing fashion. The Patriots needed help at quarterback, wide receiver, and on their offensive line, so they used two draft picks on each of those positions, with the most exciting pick among them […]

The San Francisco 49ers had an interesting 2024 NFL Draft, taking eight players, starting with Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in Round 1 and finishing with Purdue safety Sanoussi Kane. Additionally, the 49ers signed eight undrafted free agents once the draft ended, and Michigan center Drake Nugent is the one most likely to make the […]

The Carolina Panthers’ 2024 offseason has been a largely successful one. Carolina made a number of marquee free-agent signings, including adding guards Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis. Though they were down their first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, which wound up as the first overall pick, as a result of the trade for Bryce […]

The final quarterback in our 2024 NFL Draft landing spot series is Bo Nix, who was drafted 12th overall by the Denver Broncos. As the last of the five first-round QBs, Nix enters an interesting situation out west, with the offense in flux and the team still reeling from the Russell Wilson debacle. Falling into […]

While year four of the Kevin Stefanski era was far from stable for the Cleveland Browns, the team persevered and established a strong platform for success for the future. The Browns managed to win 11 games and secure a playoff berth despite starting five quarterbacks during the season as Stefanski earned NFL Coach of the […]

The 2024 NFL Draft may be over, but that doesn’t mean that the Tennessee Titans are done filling up their roster. There are still some notable free agents after the draft that the team could go after. Actually, the Titans have already been fairly active after the 2024 NFL Draft. To go along with their […]

It’s doubtful that the Atlanta Falcons can make any louder noise than what they made during the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Selecting Michael Penix Jr. perhaps changed the entire rest of the board for those that followed the Falcons after their No. 8 overall pick. In total, the team drafted eight players. […]

The Miami Dolphins will be looking for revenge against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024. The Chiefs ended an exciting season for the Dolphins in a 26-7 loss in a Wild Card game that featured frigid temperatures. Miami looked like it couldn’t handle the cold and was decisively sent home. If the Dolphins want to […]

The Los Angeles Chargers recently drafted legacy football player Brenden Rice in the 2024 NFL Draft, and his father Jerry isn’t happy with it. Jerry Rice was frustrated that his son fell to the final round of the event. “My dad was hot,” Brenden Rice said, per ESPN. “You guys get the flash like … […]

As the dust settles on the 2024 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos find themselves brimming with hope and excitement. They secured one of the most dynamic quarterback talents available: Bo Nix. For many, that’s a name synonymous with resilience and electrifying play. In truth, Nix’s journey from Auburn to Oregon to the NFL has been […]

In the ever-competitive landscape of the NFL, the Washington Commanders have made a bold move by drafting Jayden Daniels. Of course, he is a dynamic quarterback with a promising future. The anticipation surrounding his debut is palpable. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how his skills translate to the professional level. With a […]

In the biggest shocker of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons blew everyone away by drafting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the ninth overall selection. After having signed Kirk Cousins this offseason, the Falcons decided to add an older college QB to their room that likely won’t start for another three seasons. Penix was […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are hoping to compete again in the coming season. Antonio Pierce already has the full support of the coaching staff and stars like Maxx Crosby. They still need to patch up their woes on offense and it all started this offseason. The front office landed some good talent in free agency […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have been hard at work building their roster up this offseason, and they added a surefire weapon on offense in the 2024 NFL Draft when they selected Brock Bowers with the 13th overall pick of the draft. According to Terrion Arnold, though, he was very close to hearing his name get […]

With the 2024 NFL Draft in the rearview, teams like the Las Vegas Raiders are now preparing for the next phase, which is the start of OTAs. Including the start of NFL free agency and their eight draft picks, the Raiders have filled out a majority of their 90-man offseason roster. But that doesn’t mean […]

What a difference a year makes. Following his sophomore season at Penn State, cornerback Kalen King looked like a surefire first-round NFL draft pick. However, after a somewhat disappointing 2023 camping, the defender fell all the way to pick No. 255 in the seventh round. While that stinks for King, who would have made millions […]

The Indianapolis Colts were one play short of making the playoffs last season. Their star quarterback Anthony Richardson was available for only four games and they still finished 9-8 on the year. This is a good team with a strong roster from top to bottom. Perhaps a few tweaks after the 2024 NFL Draft can […]

With the departures of both Zay Jones and Calvin Ridley this offseason, the Jacksonville Jaguars need to find receivers for 200 vacated targets. While Gabe Davis was brought in via free agency to help, the biggest move to bolster their WR room was by drafting Brian Thomas Jr. Selected with the 23rd overall pick in […]

The Las Vegas Raiders made some franchise-defining picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Raiders drafted sensational tight end Brock Bowers and versatile interior offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson in the first two rounds, both of whom should start right away. However, one draft prospect recently explained how the Raiders could have easily had a very […]

It’s been four years since the Los Angeles Chargers took Justin Herbert as the sixth overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. While this draft was largely overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the draft has seen several players emerge as stars since their entry into the league. While Herbert has yet to lead the Chargers […]

The San Francisco 49ers have come oh so close. They’ve reached the NFC Championship Game four times in the last five seasons and have a Super Bowl birth in two of those campaigns. But they’ve come up short time and time again each time. But perhaps after adding to their roster with the moves they […]

Heading into the draft with question marks all over their roster, it should be no surprise that the Las Vegas Raiders invested high draft capital into upgrading… their tight end room. With Antonio Pierce taking over as head coach and Tom Telesco in as the next general manager, the new era starts off with a […]

The Green Bay Packers entered the 2024 NFL Draft with a bevy of picks and used them to great effect. The team took Arizona offensive tackle Jordan Morgan in Round 1 to fill in vacancies on the offensive line and Texas A&M linebacker Edgerrin Cooper to take over for De’Vondre Campbell. It was a strong […]

The New England Patriots were once the big bully on the block not that long ago. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick oversaw a dynasty that included six Super Bowl championships in 18 seasons. But, as the old adage goes, nothing lasts forever. Brady left in 2020 and Belichick lasted just three more seasons in Foxborough […]

We are now rapidly passing through each and every phase of the NFL calendar year, making our way to the eagerly awaited 2024 season. Free agency started back in March, the 2024 NFL Draft just concluded in April, and now we look forward to OTAs and minicamps coming at the end of May. That means […]

The Buffalo Bills had work to do this offseason heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. A lot of it. No team put as much into last season as Buffalo did. They were deep in the red in regards to the salary cap entering this offseason, which resulted in some tough decisions. The Bills wound up […]

It’s been nearly two weeks since the 2024 NFL Draft began, and now that the dust has finally settled, we’re beginning to get some of the inside scoop on what was going on behind the scenes over the course of those three days in Detroit, Michigan. Two of the teams whose respective draft picks have […]

The New York Giants had a solid 2024 NFL Draft. They got a play-making wide receiver and drafted several players at positions of need such as at tight end and in the secondary. ClutchPoints gave Big Blue an A- overall for their draft. That said, there were still a few missteps by Joe Schoen and […]

The 2024 NFL Draft had plenty of twists and turns. There were a number of trades early on, including the Detroit Lions moving up in the tail-end of the first round to select Alabama star Terrion Arnold. As it turns out, they might’ve poached him from the NFC North rival Green Bay Packers. Arnold, who […]

The Las Vegas Raiders wanted (and needed) a quarterback at pick 13 in the 2024 NFL Draft but as the historic first round played out, the team missed out on the top six prospects who all went in the top 12. Instead, the team “settled” for Georgia tight end Brock Bowers, and the Raiders seem […]

With two first-round picks at their disposal, the Chicago Bears were a big-time beneficiary of the 2024 NFL Draft. Having drafted their franchise quarterback in Caleb Williams, they decided to add another piece to their offense in Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze. Pairing Odunze with Keenan Allen and DJ Moore gives Williams one of the […]

The Baltimore Ravens were close to making the Super Bowl in 2023. They made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game, but they couldn’t get it done against the Kansas City Chiefs. Clearly, they needed to add more weapons. After a quiet start to their offseason, Baltimore chose to replenish their roster through […]

The 2024 NFL Draft is done and over now, but it’s never too late to dissect each and every pick teams like the Atlanta Falcons made. In total, the Falcons walked out of Detroit, Michigan, the site of this year’s draft, with eight new players to add to their roster for the upcoming 2024 season. […]

Not much was expected from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023. After Tom Brady retired from the NFL, the Buccaneers had the longest odds at winning the NFC South a year ago. No one must have told them. Not only did Tampa Bay win the division, they beat the reigning NFC champions the Philadelphia Eagles […]

The Arizona Cardinals were well-positioned to retool in the 2024 NFL Draft. They had two first-round picks at their disposal to begin the draft, including the fourth overall pick. Arizona also had four additional third round picks to work with. The Cardinals wound up making 12 selections in this year’s draft, including seven through the […]
