- Which player will your team target in the first round of tonight's draft? I take a shot at projecting what each NFL team's big board could look like based on pre-draft interest, team needs and organizational philosophies. Introducing the 2019 NFL Draft Cheat Sheet:
- Only seven players have reached a faster speed as a ball carrier than Derrick Henry this season (21.74 MPH). Henry has a 35+ lbs weight advantage over all of them.Derrick Henry reached 21.74 MPH on his 54-yard touchdown run, the fastest speed by a ball carrier on a touchdown run this season. #TitanUp
GIF - Several NFL teams have studied the value of draft picks, found inefficiencies, and adjusted accordingly. The savviest NFL teams are expanding their methodology to the market for players & contracts. Trades do not require zero-sum exhanges when partners have different priorities.Traded in 2018: Jason Pierre-Paul Tyrod Taylor Marcus Peters Aqib Talib Danny Shelton Damarious Randall DeShone Kizer Jarvis Landry Robert Quinn Daryl Worley Torrey Smith Alec Ogletree Michael Bennett Alex Smith Kendall Fuller Cordy Glenn Cordarrelle Patterson Jason McCourty
- After the Vikings make the [correct] call to go for it on 4th & inches from their own 35 [and failing], I’m afraid the common fan—and most coaches watching—believe it was the wrong call based on the outcome. Unfortunate. Love the aggressiveness by Stefanski & team. #WASvsMIN
