The Hangover: 2020 NFL Draft Headlines

This year’s NFL Draft was the most highly anticipated of all time, with the lack of live sports over the last month creating a rabid hunger in starved sports fans. In addition to the already-existing substantial interest in the NFL, the quarantine life that our country has been living made this year’s draft an honest-to-goodness […]

Lions Release Tra Carson

The Detroit Lions released running back Tra Carson, long snapper James Fisher, offensive guard Casey Tucker and punter Matt Wile on Monday. Detroit added running backs D'Andre Swift and Jason Huntley in the draft this past weekend, so they're trimming the fat with Carson. The 27-year-old split time with the Lions and Packers in 2019, […]

Dalvin Cook To Participate In Virtual Program

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook plans to take part in the team's virtual offseason program while awaiting a new contract, according to sources. Cook is entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2020. Minnesota's virtual program begins on Monday. The two sides could work something out long term this summer. The Vikings […]

Seahawks Moving On From Justin Britt, D.J. Fluker

The Seattle Seahawks are prepared to release center Justin Britt, a move that would save them around $8.5 million in salary cap space. Guard D.J. Fluker announced he was released on Sunday, a move that saves around $3.6 million. Britt missed the last eight games of 2019 with a torn ACL. With him on his […]

They Took Who??? Confusing NFL Draft Picks

Every year, the NFL holds a draft, and every year during that draft, 32 NFL teams make decisions that will positively impact the team going forward. But every year, some teams also make decisions that are...confusing. Confounding. Puzzling. Whatever adjective you want to use, teams make decisions that leave us, the outsiders watching the draft, […]

Instant Reaction: NFL Draft Rounds 4-7 Winners/Losers

With the conclusion of rounds two and three of the NFL Draft Friday, many of the big-name running backs and tight ends of this class saw their names called. The second tier of wide receiver prospects quickly diminished as well, which leaves us with the true sleepers at the skill positions who will be vying […]

Leonard Fournette Remains Starter After No Trade Happens

While the Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly tried to trade running back Leonard Fournette during the NFL Draft, no deal materialized, and general manager Dave Caldwell says that Fournette remains the starter. Caldwell also said that the reason the team didn't draft any running back was that no one was available that they thought could beat out […]

Vikings Add Offensive Line Depth With Kyle Hinton

The Minnesota Vikings used their last pick of the 2020 NFL Draft on offensive guard Kyle Hinton out of Washburn. Hinton has NFL size at 6-foot-3, 310 pounds, and displayed an advanced skill level for a small-school prospect. He'll need time to adjust to a higher level of competition, but he is a good interior […]

49ers Signing JaMycal Hasty

The San Francisco 49ers are signing Baylor running back JaMycal Hasty as an undrafted free agent on Saturday. The Niners traded away Matt Breida to the Dolphins on Saturday and picked up a couple draft picks in return, so they'll replace him on roster with Hasty. As a senior for Baylor in 2019, he ran […]

Buccaneers Add Another Running Back In Raymond Calais

With the 245th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers grabbed another running back. This time, it was Louisiana’s Raymond Calais, a fast but undersized back who’ll look to make big plays in the passing game. The problem? He wasn’t used much as a receiver in college, so he’ll need to improve […]

Eno Benjamin Slides To Cardinals In Seventh Round

Arizona State running back Eno Benjamin is now Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin, with Arizona using the 222nd pick on the 5-foot-9 rusher. Benjamin was arguably a top-100 player in this draft class, but he sunk down draft boards on Saturday, with that slide finally stopping in the seventh round. A dynamic player who […]

Broncos Draft Netane Muti To Help O-Line

The Denver Broncos used their sixth-round pick (181st overall) on offensive guard Netane Muti out of Fresno State. Muti has injury concerns - he's played just five games over the past two seasons - but has good feet and can play all over the offensive line. Muti says he is OK after he suffered a […]

Bengals Add To Offensive Line

The Cincinnati Bengals kicked off the sixth round of the NFL Draft by selecting Kansas offensive tackle Hakeem Adeniji. Adeniji has played both tackle and guard in college, so he will provide solid depth to a line that was a major team need coming into the draft. Adeniji plays with good explosiveness and is quick […]

Blake Brandel Goes To Vikings In Sixth Round

With the 203rd overall pick in the sixth round, the Minnesota Vikings selected Oregon State offensive tackle Blake Brandel. The Vikings used a pick on an offensive tackle in the second round with Ezra Cleveland, and Brandel becomes the second tackle taken by the Vikes in this draft. Brandel wasn't really on the draft radar. […]

Patriots Address Offensive Line Early In Round 6

The New England Patriots selected Michigan offensive guard Michael Onwenu with the No. 182 overall pick in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Onwenu is massive at 6-foot-3 and 344 pounds, and he also has great length and big hands in order to wrestle with defensive linemen. He can be overwhelming in the running […]

Lions Add Another Running Back To The Mix

The Detroit Lions have selected New Mexico State running back Jason Huntley with the No. 172 pick during the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This is a bit of an odd move by Detroit, who already selected running back D'Andre Swift earlier in the draft. Huntley finished with 1,090 rushing yards on 154 […]

Browns Use Pick No. 160 On Nick Harris

The Cleveland Browns drafted some offensive line depth with their fifth-round pick by selecting Washington center Nick Harris 160th overall. Harris won't start right away, but can provide solid depth in the interior of that offensive line. He is an experienced player, being a three-year starter for the Huskies, and should fit nicely in Kevin […]

Dolphins Trading For Matt Breida

The Miami Dolphins are trading their fifth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft for San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida, according to a source. With just Jordan Howard and Kalen Ballage in Miami's backfield, the Dolphins were expected to draft a running back in the early rounds, but that didn't happen. Instead, they're trading […]

Giants Take Oregon Guard Shane Lemieux

With the 150th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Giants have selected Oregon guard Shane Lemieux. A strong run blocker for the Ducks, Lemieux projects as someone who can help open holes for Saquon Barkley, though it’s hard to see him getting much playing time off the bat for the G-Men. He’ll […]

Cowboys Go With Tyler Biadiasz To Close Round 4

With the final pick in the fourth round at No. 146 overall, the Dallas Cowboys took Wisconsin center Tyler Biadasz. The Cowboys have adequate replacements for 2020 to help replace retired center Travis Frederick, but this pick likely had something to do with losing Frederick this year. It's a great value pick for Dallas at […]

Jack Driscoll Drafted No. 145 Overall

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Auburn offensive guard Jack Driscoll with the No. 145 overall pick in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Driscoll mostly played right tackle in college, but the graduate transfer and two-year Auburn starter also played guard at Massachusetts and projects to be a guard for the Eagles. His adequate size […]

Seahawks Take DeeJay Dallas

With the 144th overall pick in the fourth round, the Seattle Seahawks selected Miami running back Deejay Dallas. It makes sense that the Seahawks would go with a running back in this draft after both Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny went down late last season with season-ending injuries. Dallas runs with plenty of effort and […]

Ben Bredeson Goes To Ravens In Fourth Round

The Baltimore Ravens selected Michigan offensive guard Ben Bredeson with the No. 143 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft in the fourth round. Bredeson was a two-time team captain and four-year starter in college. He has good size (6-foot-5, 315 pounds) but poor length. Bredeson profiles better as a run-blocker than he does as […]

Jets Take Offensive Tackle Cameron Clark

With the 129th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Jets took Charlotte offensive tackle Cameron Clark. Clark was a good run blocker in college, but his pass protection will need some work, and the Jets shouldn’t expect Clark to start for them off the bat, especially when the team already drafted a […]

Steelers Go Running Back In Anthony McFarland Jr.

The Pittsburgh Steelers took Maryland running back Anthony McFarland Jr. with the No. 124 overall pick in the fourth round. McFarland shows instant acceleration and natural elusiveness out of the backfield at 5-foot-8, 208 pounds. He can pick up big chunk gains out in space because he's quick and elusive, and he'll bring an added […]

Lions Draft Offensive Lineman Logan Stenberg

The Detroit Lions addressed their offensive line in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, selecting Kentucky offensive guard Logan Stenberg 121st overall. At 6-foot-6, 317 pounds, Stenberg is a mauler in the run game, which should help Kerryon Johnson and second-round pick D'Andre Swift. His lack of agility hurts him in pass protection, which […]

Jets Add RB Depth With Lamical Perine

The New York Jets used the first of three fourth-round picks on Florida running back Lamical Perine. The former four-star recruit is an efficient runner with strong receiving skills, which could get him on the field in passing downs. He lacks consistency at times and scouts have criticized his ability to find the hole. He'll […]

Chargers Are Bringing in Running Back Depth

The Los Angeles Chargers have selected UCLA running back Joshua Kelley with the No. 112 selection during the NFL Draft. The organization is attempting to fill the hole left by Melvin Gordon III when he left for the Broncos in free agency. Kelly is a fantastic athlete with great acceleration and an ability to make […]

Antonio Gibson Will Be Involved

The Washington Redskins view running back Antonio Gibson, their third-round pick in 2020, as a running back who can and will line up all over the field. The Redskins want to use more 21 personnel -- two running backs, one tight end -- with Gibson and another back on the field together. That means Gibson […]

Packers Shifting To More Run-Heavy Approach?

The Green Bay Packers are reportedly moving to more of a run-oriented attack in 2020, according to an agent. The agent didn't expect the Packers to do much on the free-agent wide receiver market because of this, and if Green Bay's 2020 draft is any indication so far, that might be true. The Packers surprisingly […]
