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 […]
Top Cornerback Prospects
From what I’ve seen thus far, this cornerback class is solid. I’ve watched quite a few corners and have given 1st round grades to 3 corners.
What are the Browns doing?
