The Browns: Keeping The Faith

Posted on June 7, 2013 by The Fantasy Greek

The Browns (5-11) biggest problem in 2012 was getting points on the board. Despite the nay-sayers, Brandon Weeden was certainly an upgrade at the quarterback position as was Josh Gordon at the wide receiver position. Still, offensively, the Browns can do better in both pass and rush offense. The Browns looked like a team that would add another quarterback in free agency, by way of a trade, or in the draft. A big-time, wide receiver that could help open up the field with Gordon (whether in the slot or otherwise) was a top need of the offense entering the off-season. With the tackle positions looking set, Continue reading →

Going The Distance: Round 1 of the NFL Draft

Posted on April 26, 2013 by The Fantasy Greek

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. It is expected that four offensive tackles will be drafted within the first seven picks in the draft. One quarter of the picks will be spent on offensive linemen, tackles and guards. This could be a record! In terms of quarterbacks, at least one quarterback, maybe Continue reading →

Posted on April 23, 2013 by The Fantasy Greek

It’s just three days until the NFL draft! If you can hardly wait, you aren’t alone. Millions feel the same way.

So, for those teams in the back half of the draft (half of which are NFC teams) with similar needs, which players the top ten teams draft matters. Continue reading →

On The Ball! Pre-Draft Free Agent Tracker (Offense)

Posted on April 20, 2013 by The Fantasy Greek

If you thought the number of quality free agents on defense was thin, it’s even thinner on the offensive side of the ball. Many teams should be set with free agent on offense until after the NF draft which is just days away. Also when the clock struck midnight on Friday, April 19th, restricted free agents like wide receiver Victor Cruz and running back Chris Ivory could no longer negotiate with other teams. Put another way, Continue reading →
