Nick Bosa is the number one player on my board for the 2019 NFL Draft. It is never too early to look ahead to the 2019 NFL Draft. Defensive line, wide receiver, running back and linebacker are expected to be positions of strength in next year’s class. Here are my top 50 prospects for the 2019 NFL Draft. Remember, it’s early. Things will change. 1. Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State:…
I used to do grades until I realized how foolish that is. Instead of doing grades, I have decided to just do my winners, did o.k teams and losers from this weekend. Let’s start with the winners. Winners New York Giants: The Giants stood pat and let the board come to them. As a result, they ended up with Saquon Barkley, Will Hernandez, Lorenzo Carter and Kyle Lauletta among others….
The Patriots may have found Danny Amendola 2.0 in Braxton Berrios. The Patriots were busy on day three of the NFL Draft. They made two additional trades and added six players to their roster. Here is my breakdown of the six players that were drafted in day three. 5th Round: Ja’Whaun Bentley, ILB, Purdue, 6-2 260 What I Like: Bentley is an old school plugger in run support. He reads…
The Patriots selection of running back Sony Michel with pick number 31 of the first round raised some eyebrows on Thursday night. The Patriots didn’t need a running back. In fact, it is their deepest position on the roster. Despite that, Bill Belichick decided to was too hard to pass up on a talent like Michel. If you watched Michel play in the Rose Bowl, you can see why. Michel…
The Patriots traded a third round pick in this year’s draft to the San Francisco 49ers for offensive tackle Trent Brown yesterday. They followed that up last night by trading down with the Bears and acquiring a fourth round pick this year and a 2019 second round pick. They then traded up and drafted cornerback Duke Dawson out of Florida at pick 56. Did you get all that? Ok. Good….
The second and third rounds of the NFL are tonight. There are still several quality prospects still on the board. Here are the 32 best available players for round two. 1. Derrius Guice, RB, LSU: Guice still being on the board is a shock to me. Some team will be very pleased very early in the second round. 2. Will Hernandez, OG, UTEP: The mauler from UTEP will step in…
Image courtesy of Photo: David J. Phillip/AP Oops. The Cleveland Browns did it again. They found a way to blow it again at the top of the NFL draft. Instead of taking a quarterback with more long term upside in Sam Darnold, they took an older quarterback who is four inches shorter and plays out of control in Baker Mayfield. I would say I am surprised that Cleveland passed on Darnold…
The Patriots surprisingly stood pat on Thursday night and used both of their first round picks. With the 23rd pick, they took Georgia offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn. With the 31st pick, they took another Georgia Bulldog, running back Sony Michel. Here are my thoughts on both players Pick #23: Isaiah Wynn, OT Georgia, 6-2 313 What I Like: Wynn offers versatility. He played left tackle at Georgia but he can…
I am going to keep it short and sweet. Here are my thoughts on last night’s first round. 1. Cleveland Browns: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma: The Browns took Mayfield after all. It’s a risky pick. Mayfield is small at 6-0 215 and he played in an RPO based spread offense. He will have to get acclimated to playing under center. That’s why it’s important he sits for a year. With…
My third and final mock draft is revealed. There are several changes from my first two mock drafts so without further ado, he is my final mock draft. 1. Cleveland Browns: Sam Darnold, QB, USC: The Browns dipped their toes in the water with Josh Allen but they take the safest quarterback in this draft in Darnold. 2. New York Giants: Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State: Giants GM Dave Gettleman…
