  • 2026 NFL Draft Round 1 Grades

    Los Angeles Rams: B+

    I am a huge Ty Simpson fan when it comes to this pick. He leaves the same intensity for Alabama and now Los Angeles. Stetson Bennett may have been a step back in recent years but I think Simpson can definitely learn from a pro’s pro Matthew Stafford and grasp information as time goes forward.

    Dallas Cowboys: B-

    Cowboys receive a B- for drafting Caleb Downs. Downs slipped but for huge reason. I would argue he created a lot more buzz entering college than he did exiting.

    As for Malachi Lawrence, we have seen this before with Demarcus Lawrence. Only, Demarcus’ time had abated.

    Kansas City Chiefs: A-

    The Chiefs filled the room with one objective. Get a guy to disrupt the quarterback and they did that successfully.

    New York Jets: C+

    The New York Jets continue to reinvigorate the roster and they drafted David Bailey, Kenyon Sadiq, and Omar Cooper Jr. Bailey was undoubtedly a better pick than Fernando Mendoza.

    Las Vegas Raiders: D

    The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Mendoza with the first overall pick and the quarterback did not even shake Rodger Goodell’s hand. The arm is a little questionable, to me, since he emanates from a great, souring Indiana program.

    Tennessee Titans: A

    Carnell Tate is an excellent player. The Titans and Robert Saleh not only draft another viable OSU wide receiver, they add one right beside Jermaine Johnson.

    New York Giants: C

    I did not like the Giants picks on Night 1. I, however, liked the uplifting speech by Francis Mauigoa about letting loose, similar to Will Campbell’s draft night audition.

    New England Patriots: B-

    OT Caleb Lomu is an assurance policy on the right side.

    Los Angeles Chargers: A+

    Akheem Mesidor is the sleeper of the first round draft. If Miami won the National championship, maybe people would be talking about Mesidor more. But it is just me. Quarterbacks always get favored in the draft.

    Cleveland Browns: A

    Browns receive a solid A for simply no effort. They select the best offensive lineman in the draft.

    Philadelphia Eagles: B

    Makai Lemon was on the phone with the Pittsburgh Steelers just before the Eagles drafted him. I think Lemon has the most upside of any receiver but AJ Brown needs to bleed green another year.

    Seattle Seahawks: A

    Jadarian Price is a great payday for him and Seattle. They lose Kenneth Walker but Price displays more than a one-cut style.

  • Fernando Mendoza Prepares for the NFL Spotlight

    Fernando Mendoza is a soon-to-be Las Vegas Raider. More likely the case, Mendoza will serve as a significant contributor to a team that has needed help since owner Mark Davis succeeded the team.

    Speaking of which, owners across the NFL league have until March 29 to vote whether Mark Davis should sustain ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders. It is safe to say Egon Durban will be a viable candidate.

    But, the spotlight is on Mendoza just a month in from the possible owner transfer. Not only did Mendoza play fantastic at Indiana, he revolutionized a program under coach Curt Cignetti.

    Mark’s father, Al, invigorated a program of, “Just win, baby!” He was the quintessential leader of his time and Mark owes it to the Las Vegas Raiders.

    After signing Tyler Linderbaum, Nakobe Dean, Kwity Paye, the team needs a leader and that might be Mendoza, and not Crosby.

  • Malik Willis Right Option for Dolphins

    It was not too long for the Miami Dolphins to sign Malik Willis. He signed for 3-years, $67.5 million (45 million guaranteed).

    This was the right option for Jeff Hafley and staff. This allows the leeway to move on from former Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and set free a new, clear path.

    Throughout the last couple of seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Willis served well in a total of 11 NFL games and completed 78.7% of his passes. He won two games as a starter and proves a reunion with Hafley is feasible.

    The main question is whether Willis can handle a second chance over his Tennessee Titans days. Willis immediately got the call to play eight games during his rookie season and floundered through his last three games in red, white and blue.

    Signs point to the naïveté dispersing into a big opportunity for Willis to miraculously play well.

  • Maxx Crosby Has Every Right to feel Giddy

    Maxx Crosby has been traded to the Baltimore Ravens for a pair of first round picks. Crosby has every right to feel the way he does.

    According to sources, Crosby is feeling really giddy about the process. It adds Crosby is feeling giddy about the fact that he joins a team that owns 2 losing seasons and won three playoff games during his time in the league.

    This is the time to tout Crosby’s one winning season with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders need far help they can add in this year’s draft and beyond.

    If I were a betting man, I would trade Fernando Mendoza for Joe Burrow. It is just facts that the Raiders have stood out weak in drafts and currently lack a superstar.

    The time for help is now as the Raiders also release Geno Smith after one NFL season.

  • Who won the Jermaine Johnson-T’Vondre Sweat trade?

    Jermaine Johnson, a former 2022 first round New York Jets draft pick, was traded to the Tennessee Titans for T’Vondre Sweat. Sweat only a 2024 second-round pick scored big time in this trade. Even though the Jets are not highly secure in edge rushers, Aaron Glenn will have plenty of restocking to do with the Jets popular defense.

    New York has always played it safe when its come to the defense of the city. Glenn, Bowles, Ryan, Saleh all being defensive minds, this is the blossoming opportunity to acquire back a huge bolt of potential.

    The DT depth is safe and sound with Sweat finishing well as a run stopper. Sweat adds to what faces the Jets long-term future.

    As for Johnson, he enables himself to reconnect with former coach Saleh. Saleh will have every right to feel passionate and strong about his job further in Tennessee.

    Johnson also contributed on special teams and was vocal in the protection of the kicker. When it all comes down to it, the Jets won the huge trade because it shows Tennessee is in it for the short haul of reestablishing Cam Ward in a sloppy team performance of his rookie season.
