Going The Distance: Round 1 of the NFL Draft

The first round of the draft is always the most unpredictable. One week ago, no one would have believed the Dolphins would trade down to the third pick to draft a defensive end as opposed to the best offensive tackle on the board. No one would have believed that DJ Hayden would have been the first defensive back drafted. No one would have believed Continue reading

This year’s draft will likely be the most unpredictable in history. One thing appears certain though. A large number of offensive linemen will be drafted.

Put another way, Continue reading

With just under a week before the NFL draft, this is one last opportunity to look at the defensive signings to date. At this point, teams are making a few last minute signings to fortify rosters, before the draft, so teams can focus on the players they truly want to draft to fill their team’s greatest need.
