Needless to say the reviews of Ohio State QB CK Stroud’s 55-pass scripted throwing session were pretty much universally applauded. Of course, it would be news if they weren’t! Meanwhile, along with… Read More »

POST COMBINE 2023 UP/DOWN PROSPECTS

Now that I have recovered from the “shock and awe” of the CARR/SAINTS marriage announcement, as well as the BEARS taking advantage of the Panthers impatient Owner Mr. Tepper and moving off Pick One in the 2023 Draft, I am getting back to the guys who used the Combine to raise their Draft stock in my mind, and… Read More »

I had it in my head not to make too big of a deal about the QB at this Combine and in the upcoming Draft. But I had to face up to the reality that QB are the true stars of the NFL. They used to say ‘Defense wins championships’. But to say that today is less than… Read More »

Seahawks re-sign QB Smith; still looking at the position at the draft?

Seahawks re-sign QB Smith; still looking at the position at the draft? … The fact that Seattle resigned veteran QB Geno Smith to a reported 3Y, $105M contract extension would seem, at least on first blush, preclude the Seahawks from selecting a QB with the 5th pick at the 2023 draft.

We have seen a slight moderation in parameters and nomenclature as it applies to labeling and grading of the OL Group, which started off our day as the Combine progressed to Day 4.  51 players were packed into this group of the “big uglies”. In reality guys in this grouping are either OT or IOL, meaning the OG/OC… Read More »
