In the second entry to the series we started last month, I’ll be redrafting the 2009 NFL Draft, knowing what we know now. This scenario is a bit different than the 2011 draft for two reasons.

Zone Reads Post-Combine Mock Draft
While we continue to put together our big board and player database, we thought we’d give you something to read by doing another mock draft based on how we adjusted our boards after the Combine. Plus, we’ve only gotten to watch more and more tape since then, so we’re starting to form more solid impressions […]
Tuesday Combine Review – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Thoughts from Sunday’s combine results
On Sunday, quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs worked out at the combine. Let’s take a look at some of the performances that stood out, in one way or another, and what, if anything, they mean. This will be brief and in some cases shallow.
Four takeaways from Saturday’s combine drills
Saturday was the first day of combine on-field workouts. The offensive linemen and tight ends completed their interviews and bench press workouts on Friday; on Saturday, they resumed with 40-yard dashes, agility drills, and position drills.

Any edge in offseason performance could easily tip the balance for who wins the division in 2014. Also it was recently noted that the expected cap limit this year […]

Zone Reads Writers Pre-Combine Mock Draft, 2/19
Last night, the Zone Reads team got together for a two-round mock draft where we rotated picks among us. Myself, Matt, vixticator, and tweedybirdd rotated selections, with one of our film scouts, Trey Hamel, filling in for some second-round selections as needed. Each writer provided a brief analysis of his pick with the selection. Our […]
Offseason GM: NFC South
Football is year round for us, and the period after the season ends is actually one of my favorite parts of the football year: the offseason business side. Assessing a team’s cap situation, their pending free agents, and stock of draft picks in an attempt to set out the course of the future is something […]
