With three rookie quarterbacks starting, two rookie receivers already emerging as their team’s best offensive weapon and two first-round defensive backs being heavily relied upon by their defenses, the 2014 rookie class is looking strong than expected, even without the top two picks having a major impact. The two first-round rookie starters lead the way […]

In the fast-paced, reactionary world we live in, the NFL Draft is not immune to the immediate grades, projections and implications. While those immediate notes about a draft class can be telling in terms of value gotten each round, trade impacts and where team’s valued needs and scheme fits, the actual “grade” of a draft […]

After two weeks with only Derek Carr as the lone rookie quarterback starter, we got the chance to see Blake Bortles and Teddy Bridgewater get onto the field and begin the “futures” for their respective teams.

Everyone loves to grade NFL Draft classes immediately after their completion. Winners, losers, sleepers and busts: everyone plays fortune teller on how the newest additions to each teams will develop in the NFL.
