After putting up some impressive statistics as the starting quarterback at Ole Miss over the past three years, Jaxson Dart’s climb up draft boards this offseason resulted in him being the second QB selected in this year’s draft. The Giants did not want to take a chance of missing out on him, trading back into the first round to guarantee that they got their guy…....

Ever since exploding onto the scene for Boise State in 2023, Ashton Jeanty has been destined to be selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Not only was he able to accomplish this feat, but he also became the highest running back selected since Saquon Barkley went No. 2 overall in 2018. Heading to a Raiders offense that lacks true difference makers…...

Terrance Ferguson was one of the biggest winners of the pre-draft process after putting up some impressive numbers at the NFL combine. But Ferguson is more than a workout warrior, posting solid production over the entirety of his college career at Oregon. After the Rams drafted Ferguson with the 46th pick in this year’s draft, head coach Sean McVay had some flattering things to say…...

D.J. Giddens was not a sought-after recruit coming out of high school, but he was able to emerge as one of the most electric running backs in college football over his final two seasons at Kansas State. Giddens was able to back up his performance on the field with an impressive showing at the combine, yet still lasted until the fifth round of the NFL…...

The Patriots have one of the worst track records of drafting wide receivers since the turn of the century. Sadly, 2024 did not yield much better results, as I detailed in an offseason preview of the team: The Patriots’ track record of evaluating wide receiver talent over the past 25 years is one of the worst in the league. Outside of transitioning Julian Edelman from…...

In what was projected as a weak wide receiver class for quite some time, Tetairoa McMillan maintained his place as an elite prospect from wire to wire. McMillan’s combination of size and savvy led to him producing out of the gate at Arizona, putting up big numbers in each of his three seasons in Tucson. While not a flawless prospect, there was still enough to…...

Devin Neal was the most productive running back in the history of the Kansas Jayhawks’ football program. However, suspect athleticism in a loaded rookie class pushed him into the late rounds of the NFL Draft. His landing spot on a New Orleans offense that is projected to be one of the worst in the league also leaves something to be desired. Additionally, he finds himself…...

Bypassing the 2024 NFL Draft to transfer to the University of Miami paid off huge for Cam Ward, as he went from being a potential Day 2 selection last season to the top overall pick one year later. Ward’s arm talent is evident. At times, he almost makes things look too easy, displaying a calm demeanor in the pocket while throwing from a multitude of…...

Omarion Hampton combined elite college production and an explosive athletic profile to become a rare first-round running back pick in this year’s draft. At first glance, landing with the Chargers in Greg Roman’s run-heavy offense is a dream come true. However, veteran competition and questionable receiving volume leave Hampton’s overall ceiling up in the air. There is little doubt that Hampton has the talent to…...

 Tre Harris had one of the most impressive statistical profiles of any wide receiver to enter the draft in the past several years. However, once we get past the stats, there are some definite causes for concern. Led by perpetual optimist Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers chose to look past the potential red flags and selected Harris with the 55th overall pick in the second round…...

Cam Skattebo was the engine that powered the Arizona State Sun Devils’ offense to the College Football Playoff in 2024. When the lights were the brightest, Skattebo did not disappoint, putting up 242 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in a thrilling overtime loss to Texas in the first round of the playoffs. However, the performance wasn’t a flash in the pan, as Skattebo had been lighting…...

At the beginning of Day 2 of the NFL Draft, TreVeyon Henderson landed in a New England backfield that was in need of a serious talent upgrade. Not only did the Patriots’ running backs underperform expectations last season, but there were also some serious ball security issues that needed to be addressed. While Henderson’s calling card is his big-play ability, he is not a one-trick…...

There were only a few more obvious dot connections in this past draft cycle than attaching a tight end to the Indianapolis Colts, preferably the earlier in the draft, the better. The team obliged by using the 14th overall selection on Tyler Warren out of Penn State. But does this selection automatically mean fantasy fortune and glory await Warren and those who draft him? Athletic…...

Matthew Golden was one of 2024’s biggest risers after transferring from Houston and becoming the WR1 for a Texas Longhorns team that made it to the College Football Playoff Semifinals. He then went on to generate even more buzz by setting the track on fire at the combine with a 4.29-second forty time. While his draft rise was impressive, there are still enough questions about…...

Following the acquisition of Stefon Diggs last offseason, the Texans’ wide receiver trio of Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Diggs was primed to be the best in the league, at least on paper. The high hopes for the Texans’ passing game never materialized in 2024, as injuries, poor protection, and passing inefficiency all played a part in the letdown. Fast forward to a year later,…...

After arriving at Ohio State as an elite recruit, Emeka Egbuka was never able to put together a true breakout season despite staying in school for four years. However, because he played alongside multiple five-star prospects, his lack of top-end statistics could be partially explained away. Seeing Egbuka land with an NFL team where he would have a primary role on Day 1 could have…...
