Despite the fact that the Browns new head coach and quarterback guru Hue Jackson says that third-round pick Cody Kessler is everything you look for in a quarterback and you have to trust him on the selection, major doubts still exist from the majority of NFL draft prognosticators on whether Kessler has any shot at meaningful NFL production….

The Cleveland Browns drafted Princeton tight end Seth DeValve in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, which was surprising to me because I had literally never heard of him before. So who is he? Well, he kind of looks like Browns TE Gary Barnidge and he might be the second-best TE in this class. Here are his measurables, which I pulled from NFL Draft Scout: When we…...

Part of a RotoViz series highlighting the fantasy football takeaways from the 2016 NFL draft. Here’s the NFC North edition. Chicago Bears The Bears spent six of their picks on defense, in addition to signing Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman as free agents. Look for that side of the ball to be much improved, perhaps making Chicago a decent late-round MFL10 team defense. On offense, Chicago drafted…...

Now that the NFL draft is over it’s time we all start to direct our attention towards May rookie drafts. Considering the questionable landing spots that most receivers and running backs went to, I know many owners were left uncertain what to do with their picks after the clear top three or four players are gone….

There was a strong run of wide receivers taken in the second half of the first round of the NFL draft.

Well, it finally happened. After waiting for over a year for the Cowboys to replace DeMarco Murray with a talented running back worthy of their elite offensive line, the team pulled the trigger on Ezekiel Elliott at pick four overall in the 2016 NFL Draft. I already postured that the top two players in rookie drafts are RBs, and that if either Elliott or Derrick Henry ended up in…...

In one of the more surprising picks of the night, the Houston Texans selected Notre Dame wide receiver Will Fuller 21st overall. While it wasn’t particularly surprising that Fuller was drafted in the first round, it was surprising to see him drafted ahead of both Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson….

In this article we’ll take a quick look at three veteran fantasy football assets whose value is potentially threatened by the 2016 NFL Draft. Darren McFadden While the offseason signing of Alfred Morris is concerning, Jerry Jones still considers McFadden the “starting running back” in Dallas. And McFadden’s usage makes him very fantasy relevant. Yes, you are about to hear an argument in favor of one of the…...

Before the NFL Draft, I want to double down on my stance that Laquon Treadwell is the best wide receiver prospect in this class. I’m going to do that by showing you a group of comparable players that is incredibly safe, has very high upside, and suggests that Treadwell may be a first round pick in dynasty startup drafts in the future. The cutoffs I used were all simple…...

In an age where medical records, Wonderlic scores and even questions/answers from private NFL combine interviews are leaked, an underdeveloped avenue of information related to the draft process is quarterback ball velocity. But does a measure of how fast a QB can throw a ball have any place in predicting a passer’s success?… Membership Required You must be a member to access this content.View Membership...

Before the 2016 NFL Draft, I want to highlight four prospects that I may be overvaluing. These aren’t prospects that I’m just higher on than other people, like Daniel Lasco, but prospects that I still have some nagging questions about. Devontae Booker, Utah RB I personally have Booker ranked as the RB5 in this class and he also ended up as the RB5 in our pre-draft…...
