• The “everyone wants to bail” murmurs have manifested in phone calls in the last couple of days with teams picking from Nos. 6 through 11—the Panthers, Giants, Falcons, Seahawks, Jets and Commanders—all exploring moves down, in the event the draft board falls a certain way (and a couple want to move down regardless). What will teams come up for? As we said earlier Monday (now below): corners, edge rushers, and potentially receivers. • One team we’ve mentioned consistently as a move-up possibility is Chicago White Sox Jersey  the Chiefs. My sense is that it could happen if a player they like (a receiver, edge rusher or corner) falls into a certain range. And barring a major discount, the Chiefs’ move would probably be, at most, into the teens. They’ve told multiple clubs in the top 15 t...

The nation's best defense from the nation's best team was rewarded for its work in the opening round of the NFL draft. Five Georgia defensive players were selected in the first round Thursday night, a record from one defense in the common draft era. The total eclipsed the four Florida State defenders selected in the first round of the 2006 draft and the four Miami defenders selected in the first round of the 2004 draft. The Bulldogs led the nation in scoring defense (10.2 points per game) this past season as they surrendered only 16 touchdowns all season. Georgia sacked Alabama quarterback Bryce Young four times in the national championship game on the way to the team's first national title since 1980. Defensive end/outside linebacker Travon Walker got it all rolli...

After the first five picks all went to defensive players, blockbuster trades caused chaos on Day 1 of the 2022 NFL draft. The Saints, Lions and Eagles all traded up for high-profile talent. Then the Ravens dealt receiver Marquise Brown and the Titans traded away wideout A.J. Brown, both for more draft capital. A run on receivers saw some teams pick up steals later in Round 1, while some late-round offensive line picks looked like reaches. Here are Kevin Hanson’s complete draft grades for each first-round selection. 1. Jacksonville Jaguars: Travon Walker, DE, Georgia Jaguars GM Trent Baalke “sees a lot of Aldon Smith in Walker.” Given the early success he had in San Francisco with Smith (33 ½ sacks in his first two seasons), Baalke is hoping a bet on Walker’s traits and u...

Grading teams' drafts immediately after the event is necessary in order to provide the proper evaluation of their actions in the moment. Waiting three years to evaluate draft classes, without accounting for how the decision was viewed at the time, usually leads to revisionist history. If a prospect is considered a great pick the day of the draft but doesn't work out in the long run, that's a completely different evaluation of his new team's decision than identifying a player who was considered a reach at the time he was picked. Immediate draft grades provide a foundation for future evaluations. These 2022 NFL Draft quick-snap grades are an indication of NFL Jerseys for Cheap whether I think a prospect's selection is of appropriate value given his college film and ...
