2024 NFL Draft Report

Image
      The first round of the NFL draft is in the books and it is time for the draft report of the first 32 picks. I have done this in the past for the NBA draft but now time for the NFL draft. This draft consisted of offensive players which led to defensive guys falling. Saw some splashes and 5 quarterbacks in the top 10.  The first 14 picks were offensive players. Let's get in the reaction.  1. Chicago Bears - Caleb Williams - QB - USC The pick everyone knew for months, the Bears finally have their quarterback. One of the best prospects to come out since Andrew Luck. Chicago is filled with joy as Williams has the chance to become the first Bears quarterback EVER to throw for 4,000 yards. Jordan, Payton, Thomas, Banks, Kane, Pippen, Toews, Sayers, Sosa, Hull, Urlacher, Rose, and now Williams.   2. Washington Commanders - Jayden Daniels - QB - LSU Feels like 2012 again in Washington DC. The Dan Quinn era starts off with a bang in snagging their quarterback of the future. Daniels get

Chargers Wide Receivers Situation

Image
    The Los Angeles Chargers went 5-12 last season and fired their head coach mid way through the season. The Brandon Staley era in Los Angeles did not go as planned for the Chargers front office, players, and fans that thought Staley was going to take the league by storm. The era is remembered by the Chargers blowing a 27-0 playoff lead to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2022. It was time to move on but they are still in a good situation.  The Chargers have their QB of the future with Justin Herbert who is 25 years old and just signed a 5 year extension, he is locked up to be the Chargers signal caller for many more years to come. But the wide receiver situation could be alarming from the outside looking in. The Chargers are in cap space hell moving into the offseason. The Chargers have to pay Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, Keenan Allen, and Mike Williams all set to have a cap hit of 30 million plus. Keenan Allen and Mike Williams combined are set to have a cap hit of 66 million next year.  The

Bears Big Decision: Justin Fields or Caleb Williams?

Image
       The Bears have one of the most interesting off season decisions to make with either Justin Fields or Caleb Williams. If you were to ask any Bears fan, the fan base is split 50/50 and understandably so. Justin Fields has looked like a different quarterback since coming back from injury and also has 3 games left to prove. The Bears are also still in the playoff picture as well to make a run but seems very unlikely at this point. Lets get into the argument for both sides then I will get into my opinion. Justin Fields : I think the flash has been there the last couple of games and we saw the same thing from Fields to end the year. Also adding DJ Moore was huge for Fields as he finally got a WR1. The Bears have 2 top 5 picks and could focus on building around Fields through the draft. The Bears could do a couple things with the first pick and the most popular would be trading down. With trading down, it would be 2-3 first round picks and also players. The Bears clearly won the Panthe

Joe Burrow is UNPLAYABLE

Image
     The Cincinnati Bengals are off to a 1-3 start and Joe Burrow has not looked like the quarterback he once was. Some will say his calf injury is the reason, some will say Zac Taylor is not a good offensive coach, some will say the offensive line is BAD, and some have no idea what is going on in Cincinnati. All the Bengals have taken a step back and their fantasy positions are decreasing from years past. But Joe Burrow only has 2 touchdown passes through 4 games, and those 2 both came against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Joe Burrow is the QB31 in fantasy football, only in front of Bryce Young for starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Baker Mayfield, Joshua Dobbs, and Zach Wilson are all better fantasy quarterbacks this year. Lets take a look at his weapons and compare their fantasy results this season. Starting with Ja'Marr Chase as he is WR21 who finished as WR12 in 2022 and WR5 in 2021. Tee Higgins is WR50 who finished as WR18 in 2022 and WR24 in 2021. Tyler Boyd is also WR64 an

Teams Should Pick Up Lamar Jackson

Image
       The NFL offseason is finally among us and leads the fans to many questions around the NFL. The biggest storylines come out with free agency, draft, and players asking for trades. But the biggest storyline this season has to be Lamar Jackson and the non-exclusive franchise tag. Deshaun Watson had teams ready to give him a fully guaranteed contract and trading multiples picks for him when teams knew he was going to get suspended. Russell Wilson had teams willing to do the exact same thing but teams cautious about his age and when he was going to decline. Lamar Jackson is 26 years old and a former MVP. Teams have said they do not want to have talks with Jackson because the Ravens will match the offer. Teams do not want to do all this work for Jackson, just for the Ravens to use them to get a contract done with Jackson. That makes sense but teams need a quarterback.      There are multiple teams in the NFL that need a QB like Lamar Jackson to take them where they want to go. Having

Week 10 College Football Recap

Image
       10 weeks down in college football. November football is finally upon us and we saw that this weekend. Scores closer than they should be due to weather, this is the fun weather. The playoff rankings are finally here and did not disappoint us. Every year the committee says they do not look at years past and only base their rankings off this year, but Clemson was still in the top 4. Lets get into my reactions from Week 10. - MACtion is the best, so glad someone thought of putting football on a Tuesday night. - Clemson got exposed as frauds. Clemson does not look the same without Brent Venables and Tony Elliot. This Clemson team does not even look like they have in the past.  - Brian Kelly vs Nick Saban, the next great rivalry.  - It took Brian Kelly 11 years to beat a top-5 team as the head coach at Notre Dame. It took Marcus Freeman 9 games. - SMU 77, Houston 63.  It was the highest scoring regulation game in FBS history. Clayton Tune vs  Tanner Mordecai was a game for the ages. 

The Lakers Need A New Point Guard

Image
       The Lakers are 0-2 and have one of the best players of all time on their roster. When healthy Anthony Davis is a top 10 player in the NBA, but man does he love wearing a suit on the bench. Or as Charles Barkley would say Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis. This team does not look together and does not look like they practice shooting in practice. I think its time to call the 6'0 point guard out of North Central College to come help the purple and yellow to bring back the Showtime Lakers.      The Lakers need a point guard, BADLY.  Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley and Kendrick Nunn shot 1-25 from the field COMBINED. Westbrook is constantly being left open and he thinks it's a bad rotation so he shoots. But defenses leave him open on purpose but he still shoots. I wish I had that much confidence in life as Westbrook open in the corner. Westbrook shot 0-11 from the field, I know I could make at least one. I like to think I'm more of a distributor so I would pla
