2019 NFL Draft Team Needs: Picks 22 to 32

With the NFL combine complete and pro-days in full swing, preparation for the NFL Draft is underway as teams finalize their boards for the big day. With many key free agent signings over the past couple weeks, the landscape of team requirements has changed for what each team will covet in the draft. Let’s start the speculation process for what each team will be looking for.    NFL Draft Round 1: Pick 22: Baltimore Ravens (10-6) | Top Needs – WR, LB, DL, OL As the Baltimore Ravens move in a different direction with second year spark plug Lamar Jackson, the primary focus should pertain to a ground & pound offensive approach. Heading into the 2019 NFL draft, Baltimore currently has some gaping holes on this roster, some of which we haven’t seen in many years. First, the lack of receiving talent housed on this roster should dictate terms for them to secure one of the top talents in this class. Having at least the illusion on offense to have some deep threat capab

2019 NFL Draft Team Needs: Picks 11 to 21

With the NFL combine complete and pro-days in full swing, preparation for the NFL Draft is underway as teams finalize their boards for the big day. With many key free agent signings over the past couple weeks, the landscape of team requirements has changed for what each team will covet in the draft. Let’s start the speculation process for what each team will be looking for.    NFL Draft Round 1: Pick 11: Cincinnati Bengals (6-10) | Top Needs – LB, OL, TE, DL The best move during the course of the offseason was undoubtedly removing Marvin Lewis as the sideline boss for this club. Following a league trend in hiring young offensive minded talent (Zac Taylor) to lead, should allow the Bengals to revamp their outlook. With a roster littered with inadequacy, the Bengals brain trust definitely has their work cut out for them. While offensive line could and should be addressed rather early in this draft, we feel the greater need resides at the line backer position. Contin

2019 NFL Draft Team Needs: Picks 1 to 10

With the NFL combine complete and pro-days in full swing, preparation for the NFL Draft is underway as teams finalize their boards for the big day. With many key free agent signings over the past couple weeks, the landscape of team requirements has changed for what each team will covet in the draft. Let’s start the speculation process for what each team will be looking for.     NFL Draft Round 1: Pick 1: Arizona Cardinals (3-13) | Top Needs – OL, TE, WR As the Cardinals witnessed one of their worst campaigns in franchise history, the consolation prize is having the top selection in this year’s draft. With new head coach Kliff Kingsberry taking over the reins in hopes to right the ship, rumors have swirled to suggest he isn’t on board with Josh Rosen to lead his club. Like any new coach looking to place his stamp on the organization, Kyler Murray appears to be his preferred choice at the most important position. While the Cardinals still house many issues on this r

Top 10 Remaining NFL Free Agents (Offense)

As we begin to close out the second week of free agency, the offensive environment seems to already have been picked clean. However, amassing depth with sound value will be the driving factor for some teams in the coming weeks. Some players may choose to wait for their phone to ring anticipating the market will transition after the NFL Draft. Some talents still reside on this list, and we won’t be surprised to see them pilfered in the near future.   Free Agent Running Backs #1) TJ Yeldon This is perhaps one of the most surprising players to remain on the open market given his age and skillset. Yeldon is only 25 years old and has proven to be a capable playmaker when given the opportunity. While it’s understood that Yeldon is a change of pace back with good upside in the pass game, we feel many teams could exploit his ability. There is no question that Yeldon will surface somewhere before the season begins, but it’s possible he’s pricing himself a little too high for tea

Free Agent Frenzy & Fantasy Football Impact

With the league year underway and many players finding new places to call home, the fantasy football environment will also change based on these transactions. As per each situation, offensive scheme and potential usage - some could garner solid production while others see a drop off donning their new uniforms in 2019. Highlighting the Top 10 free agents to garner potential high-end fantasy production with sound return on investment is the basis of this review. Let’s get to it…. #1) LeVeon Bell (NYJ) With the LeVeon Bell contract saga finally over, he found good fortune to latch onto another club that should exploit his talents much like the Steelers did. The New York Jets have once again found an answer to their running back situation with the high-end ability of the multi-dimensional Bell. Having sat out a full season in dispute of his contract situation, having an extra year of fresh legs and no body contact should go a long way. In his last full season, Bell ama

Ranking 2019 2nd Year RBs (Not Named Saquon Barkley) - Guest Article

Ranking 2019’s Second Year Running Backs (Not Named Saquon Barkley) 2018 was one of the better years for overall rookie running back fantasy production. Despite the fantasy busts like: Royce Freeman, Rashaad Penny and Derrius Guice (missed entire season due to injury), it still turned out be a deep rookie running back class. Heading into 2019, here are my top five rookie running backs that are not-named Saquon Barkley counting down in order from 5 to 1. 5.) Derrius Guice (Washington Redskins) I put Guice 5 th on this list mainly because he hasn’t a played an NFL regular season snap. Guice missed all of the 2018 season with a torn ACL injury that he suffered in the preseason. It was especially disappointing to a lot of fantasy owners because he was projected as one of the top fantasy RB’s in his rookie class. Even though the Redskins offense remains underwhelming this year, Guice has enough talent and enough upside to deliver for fantasy owners. 4.) Sony Michel (Ne
