That saying you grew up with, “lightning never strikes twice in the same place,” is bogus. Totally false. Let Britannica explain it: “Even during the same thunderstorm, there is nothing stopping a lightning bolt from striking the same place it had struck previously, even if it was as little as a few seconds earlier or … More »

Armed with five of the top 100 picks and six of the top 115, Atlanta can pretty much do whatever it wants in this month’s NFL draft. And that’s probably a good thing, as the Falcons lack talent at almost every position, save for a few notable exceptions. So what would a “best player available” … More »

At first glance, Las Vegas appears to be set at safety. Free safety Tre’Von Moehrig had an impressive rookie season, as the 2021 second-rounder out of TCU led the defense in snaps (1,152) while racking up 55 tackles – good for sixth on the team – 1 interception and 6 passes defended. Meanwhile, strong safety … More »

You can almost hear an audible groan from Minnesota Vikings fans whenever the name Tyler Linderbaum comes up. Sure, he’s a nice prospect, but are you sure he’s going to be a better pro than struggling starter Garrett Bradbury, a 2019 first-rounder? And doesn’t the team need a cornerback? Or even another playmaking receiver? And … More »

For all the hullabaloo regarding Los Angeles’ use of draft capital, it’s still important to remember that the Rams have eight draft picks, which ties them for the fifth-most selections. No picks in the first or second rounds? No problem, as the defending Super Bowl champions have managed to patch over most of their perceived … More »

Keep in mind, most teams – including those who are set at the position – will meet with the top QB prospects, so don’t put much stock into the fact that the Commanders have formally or informally met … More »

Oklahoma receiver CeeDee Lamb wasn’t supposed to fall outside of the top 10 of the 2020 draft. Dallas, in fact, was certain of it. The Cowboys didn’t even interview him. They had other needs, including pass rusher. Most analysts pegged LSU’s K’Lavon Chaisson as the most likely pick for Dallas. And then the unthinkable happened: … More »

Thanks to the Davante Adams trade, Green Bay is playing with house money in the first round of the upcoming NFL draft, as the Packers now own the Nos. 22 and 28 overall picks. It’s no secret what position Green Bay will focus on with one of those picks: receiver. But, without a lot of … More »

Cleveland has made big splashes in the offseason with the additions of Deshaun Watson at quarterback and Amari Cooper at receiver. But the Browns are still in a holding pattern with receiver Jarvis Landry and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, as it’s possible both could return to the team, according to media reports. In other words, … More »

New Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles might turn into the “anti-Les Snead” when it comes to the NFL draft. Snead, the Los Angeles Rams GM, famously wore a T-shirt during the team’s Super Bowl parade with the phrase “F— Them Picks.” Then there’s the 36-year-old Poles, who said at his introductory press conference that the … More »

When Carolina general manager Scott Fitterer recently said he felt good about where the Panthers are as a roster right now, it was tempting to do a bit of eye-rolling. Feel good? The team limped to a 5-12 record last season and has thus far been unable to trade for one of the veteran quarterbacks … More »

New Orleans had one of the greatest drafts in team history back in 2017. First-round pick Marshon Lattimore, the No. 11 overall pick out of Ohio State, is a four-time Pro Bowler.
