Bo Nix

Denver, of course, was desperate to add a quarterback, and if they'd traded back they might well have lost Nix to a team like the Raiders...
Rookie kickers
7 May
, 2024
I would think Will Reichard (picture) will be kicking for the Vikings. He’s unusually experienced for a rookie, having attempted 100 field goals at Alabama...
Zack Moss
7 May
, 2024
The Bengals, recall, signed Moss and released/traded Joe Mixon. They're paying Moss $4 million this season; he's their starting running back...
Ben Sinnott
6 May
, 2024
Ben Sinnott, as today’s example. Washington selected him with the 53rd pick, and there’s some chance he’ll be starting as a rookie. But I’m not ready to say that Sinnott “likely” will start...
Rookie receivers

In particular, the Bills could have stayed at No. 32 and selected Xavier Legette (another large receiver)...
Late-round quarterbacks
5 May
, 2024
It does happen, and recently, with Brock Purdy playing in the last Super Bowl just two seasons after falling all the way to the end of the seventh round...
Jonathan Taylor
4 May
, 2024
He’s had some injury issues in recent years, but he’s healthy now. And the contract issue that hung over him for all of the last offseason is resolved for now...
Theo Johnson
4 May
, 2024
Certainly, Wan'Dale Robinson and top pick Malik Nabers merit at least some consideration. Robinson led the team with 60 receptions last year and may be ready to do more...
Jayden Daniels
2 May
, 2024
I understand that Williams is working with that nice trio of receivers, and he’s also got great mobility...
Kimani Vidal
2 May
, 2024
There was a thought Los Angeles would be interested in Michigan's Blake Corum. That didn't happen; in fact the team didn't take a running back at all until the sixth round...
Brock Bowers
1 May
, 2024
Vernon Davis, T.J. Hockenson and Eric Ebron, for example, all came into the league as Bowers-type talented, and none were able to finish with top-25 numbers in their first season...
Rookie receivers
30 Apr
, 2024
For ballpark purposes, I think we’ll see about four wide receivers ending up as key picks.
See the chart below. It shows rookie receivers who finished with top-30 numbers in their first season...
Audric Estime
30 Apr
, 2024
Estime was just a fifth-round pick, in part because he's a slower back -- 4.71 at the combine...
Keon Coleman
29 Apr
, 2024
I had no problem with them trading with Kansas City. Xavier Worthy ran a 4.21 at the combine, but he’s awfully small...
LA Chargers
28 Apr
, 2024
The Chargers picked linebacker Junior Colson in the third round. That seemed like a spot they might go for Blake Corum, who ended up going to the other LA team in the same round...
