2024 NFL Draft Tight End Rankings
Today, we move on to the tight end rankings for the 2024 NFL draft. This year’s class is not like last year. In fact, it is almost the opposite. After the top one or two tight ends, there isn’t much depth and it’s kind of a mixed bag. This is not the year if your team…
2024 NFL Draft Rankings: Wide Receivers
As Anakin Skywalker said in Revenge Of The Sith: “This is where the fun begins”. This year’s wide receiver class is crazy talented from top to bottom. There seems to have been a huge influx of wide receiver talent in the NFL since the 2020 class. This class is no different, and coming up with a…

Final Quarterback Rankings: 2024 NFL Draft
I’m back! And with my final quarterback rankings for the 2024 NFL draft. I know it’s been a long time since I have written anything. I have been very busy; those who follow me on Twitter know that I have been working on the Cheesehead TV draft guide, watching film, and doing a podcast for CHTV’s…

Earlier this week, the Raiders finally announced their new GM hire, Tom Telesco. Telesco’s recent work came with the Raiders’ division rival, the Los Angeles Chargers.

Antonio Pierce: Did Mark Davis Make the Right Decision?
The 2021 NFL season was eventful for many reasons, with one of those being the Las Vegas Raiders. More specifically, their interim head coach, Rich Bisaccia.

Patriots Blanked by Chargers
A long season continues for fans of the New England Patriots as the team lost 6-0 to the Chargers on Sunday. A new quarterback didn’t change much for the team, as they were shut out for the second time at home this season on Sunday. The Chargers boast one of the worst defenses in the NFL…

2023 is a Lost Season for the Patriots, What’s Next?
The Patriots embarked on the 2023 season with realistic expectations of success. They barely missed the playoffs in 2022, largely due to a dysfunctional offense at the hands of Matt Patricia.

Welcome back to my 2024 NFL draft notes article. I have been busy slaving away at updating my database and have finally found time to drop another draft notes article.

Best NFL Bets for Week 8
The weekend is finally here, which means it is time to place your NFL bets! Last week, we went 1-2 for the fifth straight week.

2024 NFL Draft: Replacement Starters for the Green Bay Packers
As we all know, the Green Bay Packers are a team that builds through the NFL draft. Since Brian Gutekunst has taken over as GM, he has sprinkled in some free agent signings, but the Packers cap situation isn’t great next season. There is space, just not a lot. So, let’s take a look at some…

Justin Pugh signs to Giants’ active roster
“Who says you can’t go home?” A fitting lyric form New Jersey’s very own Jon Bon Jovi. Why is it fitting? Because the New York Giants welcomed home former first round pick Justin Pugh. On Wednesday the team announced that they signed Pugh to a new one-year deal. The 11-year veteran has been back with the…
Patriots Go Broke in Vegas vs. Raiders
Whatever glimmer of hope Patriots fans were holding onto on Sunday was squashed under the size 14 cleat of Maxx Crosby and the Raiders on the grass of Allegiant stadium Sunday afternoon.

2-2 Isn’t the Worst place to be, but it sure feels like it right now.
Finding Hope in the Vikings 0-3 Start
The Minnesota Vikings have squandered a golden opportunity and started the season 0-3. Trade rumors are swirling around quarterback Kirk Cousins. The offensive line is a veritable turnstile.
