Factoid: Whither Aiyuk

I will be interested to see how this Brandon Aiyuk situation plays out. He wants to be paid. He deserves to be paid. But I don’t think the 49ers can or will give him the kind of contract Aiyuk could get from other teams.  more »

Factoid: Brian Thomas

The Jacksonville Jaguars made out pretty well last night. Not only did they get one of the draft's best players at a position they needed someone at after losing Calvin Ridley in free agency, but they picked up 3rd- and 4th-round picks next year to do it.   more »

Trivia: April 26, 2024

Michigan last year went 15-0, winning college football’s national title, yet had only one player selected in the first round of the draft (J.J. McCarthy). In the NFL’s 32-team era (2002 to present) what is the only university that has won college football’s national title game but not had ANY players picked in the first round of the draft? This same school has actually done it twice (both teams included players who were eventually picked in the first round, but not until future years). answer »

Factoid: Hold That Tiger

If the media reports are to be believed, Malik Nabers will be selected in the top 10 tonight, and his LSU teammate Brian Thomas won’t be far behind. Two wide receivers from the same school, and that’s been happening more often recently.   more »

Factoid: Brenden Rice

At some point this weekend (maybe Friday), Southern Cal wideout Brenden Rice will hear his name called. He won't be mentioned without his Hall of Fame father Jerry Rice being discussed, but the college background also looks fairly encouraging.   more »

Trivia: April 25, 2024

Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas likely will be picked tonight, and they come from a school (LSU) that’s pumped out a lot of elite receivers. Odell Beckham, Justin Jefferson, Jarvis Landry and JaMarr Chase have all had seasons with 100-plus catches. What is the only university that’s produced even more players who have had 100-catch seasons at the NFL level? answer »

Factoid: Travis Kelce

I’m not excited about drafting Travis Kelce. He’ll be 35 in October. But I may wind up ranking him No. 1 among tight ends anyway.   more »

Factoid: Brock Bowers

In general, it's not considered a strong incoming rookie class at tight end. Last year there were six selected in the first two rounds, and that's not happening. But the earliest was Dalton Kincaid at 25th overall, and Georgia's Brock Bowers will go much earlier than that.   more »

Around the NFL: Jayden Daniels

There are reports suggesting the Raiders are trying to make a blockbuster move for Jayden Daniels. It doesn’t surprise me. They’re sitting in the AFC West, playing Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert twice per year; they know the value of a franchise quarterback.   more »

Around the NFL: Zach Wilson

Before the 2024 NFL Draft commences, a brief farewell to the careers of most of the 2021 quarterback draft class. It was a promising group -- there were 5 selected in the top 15 picks, just the second time that's ever happened -- but it sure hasn't turned out very well.   more »

Trivia: April 23, 2024

Trent Sherfield has signed with the Vikings, giving him the opportunity to potentially catch a pass for a fifth different team in five years. He spent the last four seasons with Arizona, San Francisco, Miami and Buffalo. That would be impressive, but there is an active player with an even longer streak. What active player has caught at least one pass for a new team six years in a row? answer »

Factoid: Older rookies

With apologies to Spencer Rattler, there are six quarterbacks at play in this year’s draft. They’re interesting in that three of them have been in the college game for at least five years, with more time to hone their craft. But I’m not sure if that’s a positive or a negative.   more »

Factoid: Jaylen Wright

It will be interesting to see where Tennessee back Jaylen Wright goes in the draft. I've seen him ranked all over the map in different previews -- as early one of the top 2 or 3 players at the position, as late as barely in the top 10. Not much consensus.   more »
