Where's the beer guy?
The tight end position has experienced quite the renaissance in the last decade. As recently as the early to mid 2000s players like Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates were alive and well, dominating the league as pass catching tight ends, but they were anomalies. This season we saw Zach Ertz catch 116 passes for nearly... Continue Reading →
It's obvious the game has changed in the NFL; what was once a game played between the tackles has evolved to incorporate spread out college concepts as offensive coordinators have become more and more creative in finding ways to put points on the board. This has made the wide receiver position even more important than... Continue Reading →
I'll spare you the speech about how quarterback is the most important position in sports, and if you don't have one you're screwed blah blah blah. Unfortunately for the few teams who desperately need a QB (looking at you New York, Miami, Jacksonville, and Washington), this QB class is, well... not good. No quarterback has... Continue Reading →
February is here and the NFL Draft is now right around the corner (a 2 1/2 month corner, but I digress). I kicked off my draft coverage last week with my first mock draft, which you can find here if you missed it NFL Mock Draft 1.0. Now it's time for something a little spicier. Starting...

Next week the football world will descend on Mobile, Alabama for a week of intense practice, scouting, interviews, and eventually the Senior Bowl All-Star game. The Lions have at least one pick in each round, including two in the 6th and 7th rounds, so there are plenty of opportunities to add the necessary pieces to... Continue Reading →
Lions season, over. College football, done. While some might crawl into the deep, depressing stage of the year we call the offseason, there are optimists among us. With football season coming to a close, draft season begins, and boy is 2019 going to be a doozy. This is an interesting part of the draft process... Continue Reading →

Some players were HUGE misses, some players were big hits, and I don't have any shame about it. Scouting is a unique process that is impossible to perfect... Continue Reading →
