Long-time NFL and draft evaluator Greg Cossell was a fan of the first pick the San Francisco 49ers made in the draft. Cossell’s bottom line for De’Zhaun Stribling was, “I loved his tape.” More and more draft analysts acknowledge the 49ers reached for players earlier in this draft, but also admitted the team added good […]
The Miami Hurricanes had a strong showing in the 2026 NFL Draft. Not only did Miami have a trio of first round picks — OT Francis Mauigoa, EDGE Rueben Bain Jr., and EDGE Akheem Mesidor — but the Canes had nine total draft picks. That was tied for third most in the country, and tied […]
Just three weeks ago, the Giants hosted the Philadelphia Phillies in a series I figured was over before it started. As you’ll recall, the Giants sent the Phillies away from Oracle Park in grand style: back to back shutouts. It didn’t exactly send Philadelphia into a tailspin, but after entering the series in San Francisco […]
The draft is over and most of the grades are in and they are kind of middle of the road. Most are at a C which could be worse if everyone else gets As and Bs. But who really cares if other folks do not say nice things about the team? Are you truly a […]
Cornerbacks coach and former interim head coach Terry Smith went on Pittsburgh radio station 93.7 The Fan on Monday to discuss a myriad of topics, including Drew Allar getting selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round.

The Miami Dolphins’ biggest draft reach faces long odds to make the roster, with a crowded depth chart and raw skill set working against him.
For more than two decades, Bob McGinn has been polling personnel people before the draft about draft prospects, first for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and most recently for golongtd.com. McGinn uses the results of those polls to rank draft prospects at their respective positions and spices up the rankings with comments from anonymous scouts. The […]
Titans Draft RB Nicholas Singleton, Adding Competition in Spears’ Contract Year The Tennessee Titans waited until the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft to address the running back position, but the selection of Penn State’s Nicholas Singleton still carries consequences for the backfield’s established order, particularly for Tyjae Spears. Spears and incumbent lead back [...]
Bills News: Bills Not Giving Up On Keon Coleman Buffalo Bills president of football operations and general manager Brandon Beane has made his position on Keon Coleman clear: the second-year receiver is staying in Buffalo, whether the rest of the league likes it or not. Beane confirmed after the 2026 NFL Draft that the Bills [...]
After last season, it was clear that the Arizona Cardinals needed to work on getting some new bodies along the defensive line, especially in the defensive tackle room. Calais Campbell was a free agent, while Dalvin Tomlinson was released. During free agency, GM Monti Ossenfort signed several defensive tackles: Roy Lopez III, Andrew Billings, and […]
Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby has “decided to step away to start a new professional chapter of his career,” according to reporting from NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.

Eagles’ Crowded Receiver Room Raises Questions About Marquise Brown’s Role The Philadelphia Eagles have built one of the deepest wide receiver rooms in the NFL this offseason, and veteran Marquise Brown is the one left searching for footing. Brown signed a one-year, $5 million deal with Philadelphia in March, joining a team that general manager [...]
Commanders links Articles The Athletic (paywall) A closer look at the Washington Commanders’ roster after the NFL Draft Edge rusher This is where the Commanders have focused much of their attention — and money — during the offseason. They certainly got younger and more athletic, but the group lacks long-term depth, which means they’ll be […]
A lot of NFL pundits make their draft predictions and then run when they’re wrong. Not me! I think it can be hilarious to see how poorly I did. If you’re new to my work, I base my draft predictions on analyzing the visits the Buffalo Bills have had with players and seeing if time […]
As Aaron Rodgers ponders his NFL future, the Steelers protected their rights in the event that he decides to play football this year by extended the UFA tender to Rodgers. The UFA tender is a one year contract that is worth 110% of his prior year salary- about $15 million in this case- and does […]

The Las Vegas Raiders accomplished a lot as they selected 10 players in the 2026 NFL draft last weekend. Still, they do still have some potential needs before the start of the season. Let’s look at some: Defensive tackle: Yes, the Raiders drafted nose tackle Brandon Cleveland in the seventh round. Still, I’d like to […]
The San Francisco 49ers did not add a safety during the NFL Draft.

We’ve got a group that […]
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! I recently gave you a blow-by-blow of Dillon Thieneman’s press conference after being selected by the Bears in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft at pick number 25. Now I’m going to peruse through the Bears’ selections on day 2 – the second and third rounds of the draft. […]
Now, this is an interesting selection for New Orleans. The main reason I think Hall is still available is his speed, which is a major issue in his game, but for the Saints, he could be a real starting CB. Hall is really good in zone coverage, which is a specialty of Brandon Staley’s scheme, […]
