Chicago's crowded receiving room
4 May
, 2025
This is the team, after all, that has DJ Moore and Rome Odunze already in place. Odunze was a top-10 pick last year...
Not the Swiftest runner

Some of it is that NFL teams, who know him best, don't seem to think much of him...
Looking for nobody running backs
3 May
, 2025
In the case of Monangai (pictured), he played his college ball at Rutgers. The last seventh-round rookie running back to make much of an impact came from that school (Isiah Pacheco)...
Productive college tight ends

Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren were the top 15 picks...
Double-dipping wide receivers
1 May
, 2025
I found a few examples of teams selecting a pair of wide receivers from the same school in the same draft, but I decided to limit the pairs to players selected in the first three rounds...
Non first-round quarterbacks
30 Apr

But make no mistake, the odds are long of it happening. Teams rarely let promising quarterbacks slip out of the first round these days.
It used to happen more often...
Deeper draft pushes solid backs into late rounds
28 Apr
, 2025
Tahj Brooks, for one; the Texas Tech running back Cincinnati selected in the sixth round. I think he’ll beat out Zack Moss, opening the year as the No. 2 back there...
Wide receivers and bad passing games

, 2025
It's the second year in a row Carolina has used a first-round pick on a wide receiver, which doesn't seem to be a great sign for the guy they selected a year ago, Xavier Legette...

Taylor started three years at Louisiana State, catching 55 passes last year. I don’t think there’s any question he’s starting on opening day. The Jets don’t have much else at the position...
Rise of the smaller backs

The Central Florida back wasn't typically mentioned as a Day 2 pick, which was perfectly fine with the Broncos...
Instant impact tight ends
25 Apr
, 2025
So I imagine there will be some top-10 consideration for Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren. Loveland was picked earlier, but Warren seems to be the better player right now...
High YPC college backs

Whether it's to Denver or not, Henderson almost certainly will be selected tonight...
Anthony Richardson's erratic accuracy
22 Apr
, 2025
Not that Jones is shaping up to be this year’s Sam Darnold. I just think Colts felt let down by what they got out of Richardson last year...
Is he the Real Thing?
20 Apr
, 2025
Coker wasn’t even drafted coming out of Holy Cross. But he made the most of his limited opportunities, outplaying first-rounder Xavier Legette...
High-scoring wide receiver tandems

Ja’Marr Chase might be the best of all receivers right now...
