NFL Offeason Analysis

The cleveland browns have went through a lot of quarterbacks and coaches in the past 16 years. Ever since the browns came back in 1999 they have not made it to the playoffs. They have one of the best defenses in the whole NFL

New England has traded away almost half of their picks in the upcoming draft, forcing them to have to deal with the fact of minimal rookies that can better their team for the future. Even, though inexperienced, young rookies have made the pro bowl and made other great accomplishments. This proves how important it is too keep fresh talent coming in. Anyone can see the Browns have plenty of fresh talent coming in. They have not traded away a single pick plus have more picks total than every other team. They total seven picks in the top 108 and twelve total. This shows they are well prepared to build there team for years to come. Their simple, yet strategic way of building their team up is a sure way to have a powerhouse in a few short

As of right now, the Bucs have Z-E-R-O players with any ability to pass rush. Sure, Robert Ayers is good at what he does, but don't expect more than 6 sacks out of him. William Gholston is a great “run stopping” left DE but don't expect him to get to the opposing QB very often. Last year we drafted Noah Spence and he has shown flashes of his skills, but he has been injured most of the year.

During free agency, the Bucs acquired several defensive lineman that have proven themselves to be more than capable. Tampa signed free agents defensive lineman Vinny Curry and Beau Allen, both big contributors to the 2018 Super Bowl Champion Eagle defense, and also signed free agent Mitch Unrein, formerly of

Ohio State’s other Heisman winners are Troy smith, Howard Cassidy, Eddie George, Vic Janowicz, and Les Horvath. Ohio State currently has thirty nine players that are on a active NFL roster which ranks very high against other collegiate teams ( NFL Players By College). Not only do they produce many NFL players, but the quality of the players that come out of Ohio State and enter the NFL is what puts them leaps and bounds above other universities. In an article by Bill Barnwell from ESPN, he states that statistically speaking Ohio State’s 2016 is the best in NFL history . The 2016 draft class produced 5 first round draft picks, with some picks as early as the third, and with three in the top ten. Overall this draft class produced twelve players which was the most of any school. Amongst these players, were some of the most productive NFL rookies the league has seen in a very long time. Joey Bosa who is a defensive end for the now Los Angeles Chargers ( formerly the San Diego Chargers) was drafted with the third pick, and ended his season winning the award for the rookie defensive player of the year. Another major star last season was running back Ezekiel Elliott. He was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the fourth pick

After another wild free agency period, during which a variety of different teams overhauled their rosters, the annual NFL Draft is almost upon us. With the big event beginning this Thursday, below is one last mock draft for the first round. This mock follows the draft order as is (no trades).

Coming off of their bye week, the Packers finally have a chance to get healthy. Despite, an abundance of injuries the team has still looked like one of the best teams in the entire NFL.

The NFL Draft has come and gone, and many teams have vastly improved their roster for the 2017-18 season. However, several teams still have areas of need that demand addressing, even after the addition of rookie talent.

Let's go back in time to the 2009-2010 NFL season. The New Orlean Saints have just finished all of their preseason games and are looking toward the regular season. After a very mediocre 8-8 season in 2008, everybody is writing off the saints. Although to some significant off season trades and very average draft, they were predicted a slightly above average 10-6 season. Playoff contenders for sure, but nobody even thought about super bowl winners. The team was led by Drew Brees. One of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, but with an awful defense and a rushing attack that wasn't much better, the team was projected to be carried solely on the back of Drew Brees all season long. What soon later ensued was

The Wisconsin Badgers football team has been the supplier of some of the best football players in the NFL. Names like J.J Watt and Russel Wilson are on the tip of peoples tongues every season and this season is no different. There are some players that are in the NFL that their starting job is not as secure as those of Wilson and Watt. With 32 former players in the NFL it is apparent that Wisconsin has produced a large number of players that will take to the field and be part of a large number of highlight reels in the coming season. Here are a few of these that are looking to stand out this season.

Is there really much to say about the Patriots offense? They are the leaders in offensive yards and the second highest scoring offense of the year (ESPN). They are led by the transcendent quarterback Tom Brady and exemplary offensive mind Bill Belichick. On the other side, the Eagles are led by Nick Foles and Doug Pederson. The Eagles are third in passing yards, fourth in rushing yards, and fourth in points in the postseason (ESPN).

The Jags. I have talked about them time and time again, but since the football season is starting back up, I have to do a current event on them. Their lineup is good. The addition of Miles Jack is important, also the adding of a new quarterback. He will be a good backup for Blake Bortles, who is currently very bad. The Jags have never been good. If they have never been good then why didn’t they get the good draft picks?

During their decade run as the best division in football, the AFC North’s success has been predicated on tough-nose defense and consistent quarterback play. Omitting the Browns, AFC North teams all have “franchise” quarterbacks entering 2017 in Ben Roethlisberger (15th season), Joe Flacco (10th season) and Andy Dalton (7th season).

Bear’s fans starts to get excited every year around this time, but this year is different. Chicago has put together an offense with several threats at every skilled position. The receivers have an excellent opportunity to put together a duo, if not a trio that could easily lead the NFC. The back field is shaping up like it will be a force of its own to be dealt with by opposing defenses. And at quarterback, well, let’s just say Cutler will have no excuses this year.

In college football’s offseason, the news we hear is often that of arrests and suspensions (unfortunately). There are probably a couple of good reasons for that:
