The Rams came so far under new head coach Jeff Fischer whose team improved from a league worst 2-14, to a respectable 7-8-1. The Rams not just a team on the rise, but a team being transformed. This off-season, more work remained for the Rams. Both wide receivers Danny Amendola and Brandon Gibson were unrestricted free agents. It was also about time to protect Sam Bradford and improve upon a Rams rushing attack ranked nineteenth in terms of yardage. With running back Steven Jackson moving on 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 →

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 →

NFC Team Needs – Pre-Draft Update

Posted on April 23, 2013 by The Fantasy Greek

“Taking care of business” is the name of the game in free agency and in the NFL draft. It’s a time teams evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their roster and then try to make everything better. Evaluating players isn’t easy, but neither is deciding when a need on your team should be filled and by which player. Evaluate the player, the role they will fill on the team, and then decide when to take them in the draft. It’s executing a game plan. It’s fantasy football, but in reality. 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 →
