Nobody is talking about Adrian Hubbard, the pass rusher from Alabama. (I believe I know why, but let’s put that aside for now.) He’s been labeled a “controversial player” by a certain professional troll masquerading as an NFL draft expert, and I refuse to link his work or mention him by name. (If you’re really […]
Tag: 2014 nfl draft
For your consideration: Jordan Matthews
My “For Your Consideration” series will focus exclusively on players I like more than the generally accepted consensus, such as that is, among draftnik types in the media. Ideally, I would have started this series earlier, but with a month before the draft, I’ll see how many of these I can write up nevertheless. Today […]
Updated Big Board, 3/11
With the new league year starting today, and NFL free agency underway at 4 PM Eastern, we decided… to publish an updated draft board instead. We’ll run some reviews of free-agent transactions once they happen, as well as a mock draft once the first frenzy of free agency dies down. Until then, here’s our revised […]
Vixticator’s Top 50 Big Board
Here’s my top 50 big board – I can do more but you see that requires double the writing – as of the moment. Not to be confused with the order I would draft these players; it isn’t strictly best player, either, but it’s fairly close to that. As in, most likely to be a […]
The first Zone Reads Big Board of the 2014 NFL Draft
OK. The combine’s over. New tapes are being released on prospects every day (and kudos to Draft Breakdown for their tremendous work on this). We’ve seen enough information on enough prospects that I feel comfortable releasing our first Official Big Board today. Now, we still don’t have everyone covered. Far from it– we have 384 […]
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 […]
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. There are always surprises at the combine, players who move up or down based on unusual or unexpected results. […]
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 […]
