- MarShawn Lloyd finds low upside spot April 27, 2024The Packers drafted USC RB MarShawn Lloyd in Round 3 of the NFL Draft.

- Roman Wilson to Pittsburgh April 27, 2024The Steelers drafted Michigan WR Roman Wilson in Round 3 of the NFL Draft.

- Jermaine Burton finds ideal home April 27, 2024The Bengals selected Alabama WR Jermaine Burton in Round 3 of the NFL Draft. Here’s a tricky one. Burton, a highly touted recruit, began his college journey at Georgia (2020-2021). Right away, he showed value by finishing third on the Bulldogs in catches (27), yards (404) and TDs (3). His 497 yards beat Ladd McConkey […]

- Commanders draft Ben Sinnott April 27, 2024The Commanders selected Kansas State TE Ben Sinnott in Round 2 of the NFL Draft. Sinnott was a no-star recruit and walked on at Kansas State.

Mitchell’s college production never matched that size-athleticism combo, […]
- Panthers land Jonathon Brooks April 27, 2024The Panthers selected Texas RB Jonathon Brooks in Round 2 of the NFL Draft. Brooks spent just 10 games as Texas’ lead back and is coming off a November ACL tear. But there’s a reason the Panthers made him the No.1 RB off the board.
