CHRISTIAN GONZALEZ If Christian Gonzalez played a more valuable position, there'd be a strong argument for taking him first overall. Sometimes draft prospects are a difficult watch. And sometimes, you stumble upon prospects whose tape you could watch all day. Since defensive back play is...

DEVON WITHERSPOON Tyrann Mathieu came out of college labelled as a character concern, so the LSU prospect went in the third round instead of the first round. But if you could get Mathieu as a player in the NFL, ignoring anything unpredictable such as injuries or suspensions, would he be worth...

Yet another breakdown of a potential draft pick, another of the ridiculously loaded edge rusher class… MYLES MURPHY It's obvious that Myles Murphy doesn't really know what he's doing. Murphy is #98 to the top of the screen playing right-side defensive end. You can see him come off the line...

Yet another potential Bears pick in the upcoming draft: JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA The success of Ohio State wide receivers is likely helping to prop up the draft stock of Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Due to hamstring injuries, Smith-Njigba essentially played just 13 games in college. He didn't feature much...

Another possible choice at #9: BIJAN ROBINSON Bijan Robinson is a very good running back prospect and he deserves to be selected in the first round of the draft. But the standard at running back in the NFL is higher than at any other position. And that means that Robinson has to rate on the...

Another insightful breakdown of a potential draft choice: Tyree Wilson is outstanding Jalen Carter is such a good defensive prospect that you can justify selecting him ahead of a quarterback in an NFL where defensive players carry relatively little value when compared to offensive players...

Here is an insightful breakdown of Peter Skoronski’s game I recently came upon: Peter Skoronski - A boring but important draft pick Top tier offensive tackles are boring draft picks. Fan bases never get excited by them and they're not viewed as franchise-changing the way quarterbacks can be...

1. QB LAMAR JACKSON, BALTIMORE RAVENS 2. QB GENO SMITH, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 3. QB TOM BRADY, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS 4. DI JAVON HARGRAVE, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Hargrave moved from western Pennsylvania over to the East Coast during 2020 free agency and has been a force in Philadelphia, blossoming...

I thought Fields really stepped his game up this past week, a lot of good came out of this game. UNDERSTANDING COVERAGE In weeks prior, Fields has been tentative on where he thought he could squeeze balls in, a number of times looking at an open receiver and just not delivering the ball. The...

The tape on Fields was not pretty and it was marked by indecision. A good example was I believe his first pass play. It was a flea flicker to St Brown for 30 yards. But if you look at the play more closely, it was one of several missed opportunities. The flea flicker did exactly what it...

Justin Fields rookie season can largely be discounted. Most rookie quarterbacks can do whatever in their rookie seasons and then actually start their careers in Year 2. But Fields is a special case in that regard. It’s not just that the Chicago Bears offence was extremely limited around him...

MLB.com top 10 prospects: 1. Druw Jones OF, Wesleyan (GA) Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 60 | Run: 70 | Arm: 65 | Field: 70 | Overall: 60 While Jones' right-handed swing is still somewhat of a work in progress, he understands it well, shows the ability to make adjustments and does damage...

With all the rumors circling, I thought I’d share an article on JUJU. There is not much tape on JuJu in 2021, so the breakdown is from last offseason, but it still gives a good idea what type of player he is. People always talk aboot how you need speed, speed, speed on the outside to stretch...

Matt Nagy’s offense is shaping up to be just another form of Mike McCarthy’s offense in Green Bay. McCarthy was notorious for running an archaic style offense that put all the burden on his QB. Straight drop backs, full reads, rigid routes, things that were conventional in the 90’s but not in...

Could there be something salvageable here? He flashed on multiple occasions at inside linebacker in the first half... Even on this play, while probably not being targeted, still shows quick react and closing speed in coverage against the TE... And here he sells out on 3rd and short...

THE CUBS GO ALL IN ON THE FIRE SALE, SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE RETURN The Cubs go all in on the fire sale, so let's take a look at the return: Keith Law The Cubs were busy Friday, trading three players who are headed for free agency this winter in Javier Báez (to the Mets), Kris Bryant (to...

2021 NFL Quarterback Tiers: 50 coaches and evaluators rank the league's starters The all-star voting panel included seven general managers, five head coaches, 11 coordinators, 15 executives, seven quarterbacks coaches and five others working in front offices or in other coaching capacities...

BY CIAN FAHEY @QBDataMine Because of the Fields trade, the Bears only had one other value draft pick in the 2021 draft. Thankfully they did at least spend that pick on a position of need. Teven Jenkins will immediately start for the Bears after they released former starting left tackle Charles...
