The former second round draft pick … Continue reading
Atlanta Falcons Moving to a 3-4 Defensive Scheme
Suddenly all of those free agency signings of 3-4 defensive linemen are starting to make some sense. According to ESPN.com, the Atlanta Falcons have been bulking up their defense with big 3-4 type bodies in an effort to shift from their 4-3 base defense to more of a 3-4 base … Continue reading
Draft Grade: Detroit Lions
Notable Picks 10th Overall: TE Eric Ebron (North Carolina) Ebron is big (6’ 4”, 250 lbs.) and fast for his size (4.56 second forty yard dash). He was clearly the best tight end in this draft class and he provides Stafford with another weapon to throw to. 40th Overall: OLB … Continue reading
Draft Grade: Buffalo Bills
Notable Picks 4th Overall: WR Sammy Watkins (Clemson) Watkins is far and away the best receiver of the 2014 class, but is he worth the first and fourth round picks the Bills gave to move up and take him? Don’t expect Watkins to be the next Calvin Johnson, but he … Continue reading

Rams WR Stedman Bailey Suspended 4 Games

Draft Grade: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Notable Picks 7th Overall: WR Mikes Evans (Texas A&M) The Buccaneers let go of the underachieving Mike Williams this offseason and improved at the WR2 position with the addition of Mike Evans. Johnny Manziel has a lot of talent but he can thank Evans for much of his production. Many … Continue reading
Draft Grade: Atlanta Falcons
Notable Picks 6th Overall: OT Jake Matthews (Texas A&M) Even though OT Greg Robinson has more potential, Matthews should make more of an immediate impact. This is necessary for the Falcons, as it’s a waste to have a quarterback as talented and efficient as Matt Ryan play under such constant … Continue reading
