Commanders links Articles Last Man Standig (paywall) Building front to back: The Commanders’ bet on defensive speed over secondary personnel [W]hen the draft concluded, Washington hadn’t selected a single defensive back. Not early. Not late. Not at all. Washington didn’t forget about the secondary. It deprioritized it. If there’s a single stat that explains Washington’s […]
As the dust settles on the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams seem to have a need at third receiver. At first glance, the idea of Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, or CJ Daniels playing a significant amount of snaps should not scare opposing defenses to this point. LA had the chance to draft Makai […]
The Seattle Seahawks, picking at 32, entered the 2026 NFL draft with just four picks.

As the Kansas City Chiefs continued their rookie minicamp on Saturday, we got our first chance to see fifth-round pick, former Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson on the field in a Chiefs uniform.

The Miami Dolphins draft is in the rearview mirror now, but how will the players contribute this year?
One of the lasting memories from the NFC Championship on the side of the Los Angeles Rams is punt returner Xavier Smith’s lost fumble deep in his own territory. This costly mistake came shortly after the half. The Seattle Seahawks scored just one play later to extend their lead to 24-13. The Rams have made […]
The Las Vegas Raiders had their second practice of rookie minicamp on Saturday. It was open to the media and gave fans their first glimpse of new quarterback Fernando Mendoza in action.

The selection of Jadarian Price at No. 32 in the 2026 NFL Draft raised eyebrows for more than one reason. It wasn’t just about the player profile — it was the context. The Seattle Seahawks were coming off a championship run with limited draft capital, yet still chose to invest in a running back, a […]
The Buffalo Bills added 10 college football prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft, but only two of those picks—Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker (pictured below) and Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun—came in the first three rounds.

According to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports, the Cleveland Browns have hired Trent Baalke, the former general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars (2021-24) and San Francisco 49ers (2011-16), in a “consultant-like capacity.” Some reactions from Elon’s hellscape: Under Baalke, the Niners had […]
The Buffalo Bills picked Texas A&M offensive lineman Ar’maj Reed-Adams in the seventh round at No. 241 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. They acquired the selection in a sixth-round trade with the Chicago Bears. The other pick in that deal (No. 239) netted the Bills punter Tommy Doman Jr. This is the ninth and […]
At first glance, Oklahoma pass rusher R Mason Thomas seemed a curious fit for the Kansas City Chiefs when he was selected with the 40th pick in last month’s NFL Draft. Weighing in at only 241 pounds, Thomas is much lighter than the edge rushers long coveted by defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. Speaking on Friday […]
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll sat down with Ryan Roberts, who covers the NFL Draft and College Football for A to Z Sports, and he had some thoughts on the Chicago Bears’ 2026 draft class.

Now a week removed from the 2026 NFL Draft, many fans are still feeling disappointed that the Chicago Bears did not take an edge rusher in the draft. This is understandable when considering that the Bears ranked 22nd in sacks with 35 and 29th in pressure percentage at 28% last season. However, head coach Ben […]
Following last year’s disastrous defensive performance, Washington fans have been clamoring for a total overhaul. They were rewarded with a new defensive mind in Daronte Jones and upgrades to the front seven, including Odafe Oweh, Sonny Styles, Tim Settle, K’Lavon Chaisson, and Leo Chenal. Free agent additions to the secondary were not as plentiful, but […]

With no Detroit Lions rookie minicamp this year, it may be a while before we’re formally introduced to what the 2026 NFL Draft class can do on the field. While the group of seven picks may participate in organized team activities (OTAs) at the end of this month, there will be a lot of other […]
It feels like a lifetime ago, but it really has not been that long since the Dallas Cowboys boasted one of the most effective defenses in football. They were coming after the quarterback and creating turnovers. It was fun to watch. For three straight seasons, the defense consistently finished in the top seven for points […]
Just before the 2026 NFL offseason, TE David Njoku said goodbye to the fans and city of the only team he has ever played with at the pro level. The Cleveland Browns have also seemed to move forward with TE Harold Fannin Jr. as the primary tight end, while adding a number of receivers and […]
The Miami Dolphins drafted 13 rookies during the 2026 draft, and now multiple veterans could be pushed out to make room for fresh faces.
The Detroit Lions traded up from pick 50 to pick 44 in the 2026 NFL Draft and selected edge defender from the University of Michigan, Derrick Moore. They gave up the latter of their two fourth round picks (pick 128) in order to make the deal with the New York Jets happen. Moore is a […]
