There might be some long-term concerns at the […]

Isaiah Simmons Overrated?

An anonymous NFL personnel executive said that Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons is "the most overrated player in the draft." Simmons is the most versatile defender in this year's draft, as he's played linebacker, safety and nickel cornerback in college. Most NFL executives think he'll be a weak-side linebacker at the next level, but teams are […]

Saints Could Target Jalen Reagor In First Round

The New Orleans Saints could go receiver-heavy in this year's draft, and one such wideout that they would consider late in Round 1 is TCU wide receiver Jalen Reagor.

Jameis Winston Being Methodical With His Decisions

Free-agent quarterback Jameis Winston remains available and has engaged with NFL teams, but he's being methodical with his decisions.

Giants Won't Be Drafting Justin Herbert

While Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert is almost certainly the No. 1 quarterback on the New York Giants draft board, Yahoo's Charles Robinson is completely certain that they will not draft him at No. 4 overall in this week's draft.

Jeff Wilson Jr. Signs One-Year Tender

San Francisco 49ers exclusive-rights free-agent running back Jeff Wilson Jr. signed his one-year tender offer on Monday. Wilson had no outside negotiating rights, however, so it was never in question that he was signing his deal.

Chiefs Rumored To Be Eyeing Henry Ruggs III

There's a wild rumor floating around that the Kansas City Chiefs want to trade up for Alabama's Henry Ruggs III if he falls into the 20s in the first round of this week's draft. It would be an embarrassment of riches for a Kansas City offense that just won the Super Bowl and is one […]

Henry Ruggs III Won't Get Past Eagles

Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is not expected to get past the Philadelphia Eagles at pick No. 21 in this week's draft.
