The NFL Draft starts tonight, and with that we conclude our series looking at special teams and coaches. A quick reminder of the rules: 1. All players had to be drafted from the one of the 17 ACC football schools (Notre Dame is ineligible). 2. The player just has to be drafted from the school, […]
The Eagles have been linked to veteran edge rusher Jonathan Greenard since the early days of free agency, but nothing has officially transpired between Howie Roseman and the Minnesota Vikings’ front office. As teams prepare for the first round of the NFL Draft, a potential trade may have been leaked that sends Greenard to Philadelphia […]
The excitement for the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday came from the Major League team, which shut out the Los Angeles Dodgers in a thrilling 3-0 affair. But there was excitement on the farm as well, with all four of their Minor League Baseball A-ball affiliates in action. So let’s dive into it. Link to […]
Ravens fans received some exceptionally good news this week. Star defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike is trending towards a return to the field after recent neck surgery, though we do not know when exactly that will be. If Beeks is indeed coming back, Baltimore’s immediate need for interior defensive line help may not be as significant […]
Hall of Fame sportswriter Ray Didinger may be retired, but it does not mean he is retiring from poring over college film and talking to his numerous NFL sources to find out who can be sleepers in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Jacksonville Jaguars don’t have a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft… but 26 others do! To predict Round 1, I called on Keanu Kargar, a Jags fan who had the second-most accurate mock among thousands of entries in 2021. Here’s how Keanu sees tonight unfolding. 1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana […]
The Miami Dolphins have a cornerback problem that could be solved with their first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. One prospect would love that to happen.
Congratulations, we’ve made it to draft day. Mock draft season is over. It’s time for the real thing. The three-day NFL Draft starts Thursday. Of course, it’s a big draft for the Las Vegas Raiders, who need to supplement this roster with a strong draft in the first season of the John Spytek-Klint Kubiak and […]
The NFL Draft kicks off tonight with the first round. The Miami Dolphins enter the night with two picks, the 11th overall selection and the 30th pick. They also enter the night with a lot of needs that have to be addressed over the next three days. But which pick is the priority? In the […]
We’re just hours away from the 2026 NFL Draft. The Seattle Seahawks are on the clock at pick 32, but it’s more likely than not they’ll try to push themselves back to Friday for the early portion of Round 2. If they don’t? Well, they’ve done the “stick-and-pick” with their top choice in each of […]
With the NFL Draft just mere hours from beginning, one of the NFL’s top young receivers could be on the move. Per Mike Florio of NBC Sports, the Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to trade into the first round, and Brian Thomas Jr. could be part of a trade package. “As the draft approaches, we’re told […]
The day is finally upon us, folks—the 2026 NFL Draft is here! Fresh off a win in Super Bowl 60, the Seattle Seahawks are set to pick at the No. 32 spot in this year’s draft. At the moment, Seattle only has four draft picks to choose from, focusing more on strengthening a championship core […]
The 2026 NFL Draft begins tonight in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The New Orleans Saints are currently slated to pick 8th in the first round, but of course that could change depending on any trades.

The sun rose on another Thursday for everyone else, but for us draft nerds, the light shined upon us just a tad brighter this morning. Today is the day of days, where careers are made, predictions are cast aside, and the ink dries on over 250 picks through three days. For the Houston Texans, the […]
From steadily rising through the organization to Chip Kelly kicking him to the curb to nabbing two Super Bowl rings, it’s been a hell of a ride for Howie Roseman in Philadelphia. Joining the Eagles in 2000 as an intern, Roseman became general manager in 2010, holding that title for a few seasons before Kelly’s […]
There is little point in rehashing the Ravens’ sub-optimal horrible guard play over the last few years. Baltimore reunited with John Simpson in free agency to upgrade over Andrew Vorhees at left guard. There is no clear starter on the right side; 2025 third-round pick Emery Jones should have a shot at the starting job, […]
Please see Part 1 here, and Part 2 here. More on SiYAA here. If you’re being drafted in the sixth of seventh rounds (or not at all) there’s generally a good reason for that, but with the following three players, athleticism is NOT that reason. Two of the three have top 20 all-time RAS scores, […]

A number of former […]
The San Francisco 49ers are looking to add a wide receiver. The 49ers are also in a position where most of the top wideouts might be off the board by the time they’re on the clock. There are plenty of plausible scenarios in which the Niners find themselves on the clock and don’t like any […]

After falling short of their postseason ambitions, the Philadelphia Eagles are slated to enter Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft with the No. 23 overall pick. Howie Roseman and the Eagles staff have eight total picks to worth with in this year’s draft, and they’ll use that haul to move up and back throughout […]
There is a long-held draft tradition in Baltimore of scouts giving out ‘red stars’ to their favorite prospects who fit the ‘play like a Ravens’ ethos. That list tends to be a little more weighted towards off-field character and leadership intangibles. But for Yuri’s red stars, he is more focused on each player’s on-field fit […]
