- Guess who's baaaaack? (maybe) Sources are reporting that the Jacksonville Jaguars plan on signing former Heisman winning QB at the University of Florida Tim Tebow to a 1-year deal, as a Tight End. I don't wanna be that guy, but if Tebow can get good enough at TE to be signed by an NFL team in just a few workouts at age 33, had he done so coming out of college, he would have been a STAR at the position. Now, granted the Head Coach is Urban Meyer, but still...
- Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf is ridiculously fast. - In a rare win for the Detroit Lions, overall opinion of their draft has been positive, and their 1st round selection of Penei Sewell has been overwhelmingly praised. - In other Detroit Lions news, they released RB Kerryon Johnson, who was very shortly afterward claimed by the Philadelphia Eagles. What this tells me is that the Lions don't want to focus so much on the "committee" in the phrase "RB by committee" anymore, and will be leaning on 2nd year RB De'Andre Swift to play a bigger role for the offense. - After looking at who KC drafted and have already signed/traded for, it would appear that the Chiefs strategy for getting back to the Super Bowl includes simply not letting Patrick Mahomes get his uniform dirty...ever. if the Chiefs offensive line is even half as good as it looks to be on paper, Mahomes is probably going to have a really, really good year. - Some pundits are predicting the Patriots to win the AFC East instead of the Buffalo Bills. To that, I say, "I'll believe it when it happens". I am not saying they can't, just that I have my doubts...The Patriots will need two playbooks, as Cam Newton and Mac Jones have completely different skillsets as QBs. Regardless of which one is the starter, they have to prepare for both play styles, in case whichever one starts gets hurt...and that's more plays to run in practice, and less reps per play. Mac Jones can't run an offense tailored to Cam Newton's playing style, and Cam Newton won't be that effective running an offense tailored to Mac Jones... - Further proving that QBs can be so humble that nobody actually believes their humility, new Jets QB Zach Wilson believes he is in an actual QB competition, that his position as the starter in W1 is not certain...Right now the Jets QBs are Wilson, James Morgan and practice squader Mike White. Uh...Sure, Zach. It's a QB competition. No, really... - Tamba Hali plans on signing a 1-day contract with KC, so he can retire as a Chief. Hali had 89. 5 career sacks. - Unlike Aaron Rodgers reaction to the Packers drafting Jordan Love, Bucs QB Tom Brady has already contacted rookie QB Kyle Trask to do throwing workouts together. Although, it should be pointed out, Brady is 44, and has 7 Super Bowl rings. He can afford to not bother looking over his shoulder. - In case you missed it (because of course you have, everyone has) the Spring Football League has started...ESPN is actually airing a few of the games, so go watch your favorite teams and players you have never heard of before! GO TEAM!

Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, USC: The 5-foot-11, 197-pound target is one of the steadiest pass catchers in this draft. Though St. Brown is not particularly explosive and could be relegated to the slot, he could be a reliable and efficient No. 2 option. Jaelon Darden, WR, North Texas: For teams looking to infuse their passing attack with an explosive element, the 5-8, 174-pound breakaway threat offers big-play ability for a coaching staff willing to be creative in how it gets him the ball. Jamar Johnson, S, Indiana: He proved in a breakout 2020 campaign that his best football is likely still to come, as he has the fluidity to operate out of the slot and the range to track down passes from up high. Michael Carter, RB, North Carolina: The lightning to second-round pick Javonte Williams' thunder, the diminutive Carter can make his mark in the NFL by wriggling past defenders in tight spaces and creating mismatches as a receiver. Cameron Sample, DE, Tulane: The Senior Bowl standout is still finding his way as a pass rusher, but he's equally comfortable pushing blockers back as he is ripping underneath them. Stone Forsythe, OT, Florida: At 6-8 and 308 pounds, Forsythe has the frame and footwork to be a formidable pass protector at the next level, though his build might ultimately work against him if he doesn't learn to play with more composure. Trey Smith, G, Tennessee: The medical outlook could be critical to his evaluation after he was diagnosed with blood clots in his lung in 2018. Yet Smith is an experienced player who could be a promising starter with some more consistency. Cade Johnson, WR, South Dakota State: A strong Senior Bowl performance signaled he's ready for the leap in level of competition. He should carve out a role as a tough slot receiver who makes life difficult for opposing defensive backs despite his size limitations. Tylan Wallace, WR, Oklahoma State: His size and speed are pedestrian, but Wallace can thrive whether using his savvy to separate or displaying his competitiveness on contested catches. Thoughts- The Jets and Browns have been acting like an actual organizations and not doing the random selections of the past. It is strange new world.
- The Raiders Mike Mayock will be back working the NFL draft within two years with his random selections that don't seem to pan out. - The Steelers don't seem to think offensive line is important. - Either do the Seahawks. - The Chiefs have continued their massive offensive line upgrade. I have no idea how they are fitting everyone in the salary cap beyond pushing Mahomes' salary out for years so they can hide the cap hit for now. - The SEC remained the conference of choice with 29 players selected overall. - Panthers are going all in on Sam Darnold. At least for this year. |
