I don’t do mock drafts, because after the top 6-7 picks it’s basically a crapshoot. Nor do I do “draft grades”, and this is because I think the idea is fundamentally stupid. You’re grading teams on their picks before their picks have even taken a snap in so much as an NFL offseason rookie minicamp?… Read More Who Had the Best Draft?
He weighed in at 166lbs and measured at 6’ even. Previously he’d be listed around 175 and even that teams thought was too small. Now that we have official word that he’s 166, it has people wondering if he’s just too small to be an effective NFL receiver.

Highlighted are the… Read More Most of These QB Prospects Will Be Disappointments
For most of the past two years, Justin Fields has been the consensus #2 quarterback behind Trevor Lawrence.

He… Read More 2021 NFL Draft QB Rankings: #2 Justin Fields
Now that the 49ers have traded up to the third pick, it is all but assured that the first three picks will be quarterbacks. It’s even possible the first four picks are quarterbacks, and then potentially even five quarterbacks in the first 15 picks. This is an incredible draft in terms of QB talent. It… Read More 2021 NFL Draft QB Rankings: #1, Trevor Lawrence
I know this is going to sound like a hot-take or click-bait, but I’m being serious here. I will preface this section by saying I still consider him the #1 QB prospect for the 2021 draft.
