Draft

The lead up to the NFL Draft can be filled with ups and downs—especially for first-round prospects. In 2019, there hasn’t been a player who has had more of a roller-coaster ride than Mississippi State edge-rusher, a 6’6″, 260-pound edge-rusher ...

Kyler Murray was a one year starter at Oklahoma after transferring from Texas A&M after his freshman season. Started 17-of-29 career games at the two schools without missing any time due to injuries... Has elite athleticism for the position and was arguably the best athlete on the field in every game in 2018.

The Raiders have been attracted to Haskins and Kyler Murray, but with Kyler Murray gone, they would have to go get Haskins. This pick could potentially change if the Giants trade up as they are apparently big on Haskins too.

As with most rookie IDPs, landing spot will play a huge part in Abram's value early in his career. How his new team plans to use him will be massively important. Will they imagine him as a full-time safety? A "hybrid" type? Does that team have a defensive coordinator savvy enough to play to his strengths while concealing his weaknesses?

The NFL Scouting Combine just wrapped up in Indianapolis recently where a lot of prospects helped, and some hurt, their draft stock. Also, the new league year starts this week along with free agency. So there is no better time for another Mock Draft.

In today's NFL, the linebacker position is all about range—the ability to go sideline-to-sideline and hold your own in coverage against tailbacks and tight ends. After lighting up the NFL Scouting Combine with an outstanding workout, Michigan's Devin Bush appears have a skill-set tailor-made for just that kind of defensive role.

There’s no shortage of players each year at the NFL Scouting Combine who are convinced they’re the best at the event at what they do. However, when a player announces confidently that he’s the no-doubt No. 1 player overall, that still sends an eyebrow or two up.

The NFL Combine just finished up in Indianapolis where hundreds of prospects went through extensive interviews, medical checks, athletic testing and on-field drills. Naturally, with all of that going on in just a few days, this is an excellent chance ...

With the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine winding down in Indianapolis, college football's best and brightest have been put through the paces in an effort to sort out the pecking order at each position. At some positions, the top prospect is clear-cut and easy to identify. At others, not so much.

The 2018 NFL regular season has concluded, so it’s time to briefly examine the state of each team’s skill positions for fantasy purposes with an eye towards next season and/or beyond. I will be reviewing each team in the reverse ...

Who is going to be the first inside linebacker drafted this year? Because the odds are pretty good that whomever that player is, he’s also going to be the first IDP selected in rookie drafts.

Kyler Murray is another prospect where the weigh-in may have more of an impact on his draft stock than anything he'll do on the field. Everyone should already know that Murray is an outstanding athlete -- he was drafted in the Top Ten in the MLB for goodness sakes!

Josh Jacobs is a third-year junior who never started a game in his 42 career games at Alabama. He was a key contributor early in the season as the main kickoff returner throughout the year as well as a blocker on the punt coverage team early in the season.

With the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine just around the corner, we’re about to find out quite a bit about this year’s to defensive prospects and how they stack up relative to one another. But before we even get to Indy, ...

Haskins is not going to wow with athleticism or create big plays with his legs, but can usually keep plays alive from the pocket long enough to get a pass off. Would benefit from being in a situation similar to Patrick Mahomes at the start of his career where he sits and learns from a veteran quarterback his rookie year.

Let’s just say the Ronald Jones experiment failed greatly last season. He barely saw the field and was highly ineffective the few times he did. It is safe to say that Tampa Bay is still looking for a legitimate workhorse running back and Josh Jacobs can be that guy.

One thing that has never been questioned with Ohio State wideout Terry McLaurin is his speed and athleticism. That was on full display in Mobile, especially in the 1-on-1 drills against defensive backs.

Monday signals the end of the College Football Season with the National Championship. Alabama versus Clemson: Part Four – Saban versus Swinney. The two teams that spent most of the season ranked #1 and #2 in the polls. Naturally, with ...

As it stands now, it will take something unforeseen for this pick to change much between now and April. Even though he didn’t play most of the year after an oblique injury, Joey Bosa has shown more than enough to be the top overall pick in the draft.

There is an argument to be made that Darrell Henderson has been the best and most explosive back in college football. Henderson is only a junior, but expect him to be in the conversation as one of the best running backs in the draft if he decides to declare.

We are coming into Bowl Season for College Football. The NFL Draft order is starting to take shape with four games left in the season. To me, that signals the true start to Draft Season! Starting December 6th, College Football Awards Shows will start and go throughout the weekend leading up to the Heisman Trophy Presentation December 8th.

It is football time again. Every time you think it is gone long enough it comes back and sneaks up on you. Kind of like Christmas in a way because you know it is coming and people are talking about ...

We did it! It’s back. Thank the lord above Sundays will now revolve around my recliner, sweatpants, a meatball sub and seven hours of the Red Zone channel. I kissed my wife and kids goodbye and told them I’ll be ...

Week 3 of the preseason — “dress rehearsal week” — is over, which means it’s once again time to analyze the tape. Since most fantasy-relevant players played limited snaps against vanilla defenses, it’s important to avoid overreacting to good or ...

One of the most difficult tasks in head-to-head fantasy leagues is trying to determine who the “hot” and “cold” players will be in any given week. You can’t use historical or seasonal averages because, well… by their very definition, averages ...

This past weekend, I had the privilege of representing Fantasy Sharks in the King's Classic Fantasy Football Expert Drafts at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton Ohio. That's right—I drafted a fantasy football team from inside the Hall. Two, actually.
