Rather than go with another offensive position group this week, I’m going to give the defense some love. Specifically, we’re going to examine the top 10 edge rushers in advance of the 2022 season. Defensive ends don’t need to be appreciated by me; their teams know their value, as evidenced by DEs/OLBs possessing the highest…
This time, we’re looking at the top 10 TEs for 2022. I am really glad I didn’t write this article before Gronk announced his retirement. Tight ends have diversified in recent years, with some that are pure blockers like an extra lineman or fullback, some that are pure receivers and look almost like large WRs,…
A couple of weeks ago, we looked at the top 10 RBs ahead of the upcoming NFL season. This time around, we’re going to examine the top 10 WRs heading into the 2022 season. After all, they’ve been obliterating the market in their free agency deals and extensions the past few months. This is an…
I know. This isn’t the type of fun topic you were likely hoping to see me write about this week. Unfortunately, new developments have necessitated that we talk about Deshaun Watson the man again, not the football player. In this article, we’ll briefly review what has happened to this point, and then we’ll discuss the…
Quarterbacks get all the love (see this page for some talk about them), but teams that run the ball well tend to have sustained success, particularly in the playoffs and in games played in cold weather. With that in mind, I thought it would be nice to compile a list of the top 10 RBs…
Hope springs eternal before the games are actually played. Each person thinks that their team is this season’s turnaround story or that their QB will take the leap to elite status. But obviously everyone can’t be right. So let’s inject a little reality into the situation. I’ve already discussed how I think teams’ rookies will…
Now that the draft is behind us, it’s time to look forward. What better way to do that than to look at the players just selected and try to guess which of them will take home hardware at the next NFL Honors? I’m going to do my best to project the upcoming rookies of the…
Every year, hundreds of players who hoped to hear their names called go undrafted. This is not the end of their journey, however. Many of these players will be signed by NFL teams and given a chance to make their rosters; many of them will do just that. As Field Yates of ESPN recently pointed…
Now is a good time to take a step back, look at what happened over the weekend, and evaluate how we think each team did in the draft. Such analyses may prove silly within months; players drafted highly might struggle, and “project” players who were selected late could prove to be hidden gems. The teams…
And with that, the 2022 NFL Draft is complete! For these rounds, I like to look at the team picks holistically. The last 4 rounds are about teams filling holes on their roster with solid starters/backups or players with upside that they can develop. All of the players in this part of the draft have…
