Spytek philosophized on the running back position’s current state and celebrated his alma mater, the University of Michigan, for continuing to value the position. Although he refrained from opining on Jeanty, specifically, Spytek said, “when you sit, where we sit,” ostensibly referencing the No. 6 overall pick, “the idea is to add elite players at any position.” Jeanty certainly qualifies, and he would understand command a first-round fantasy pick were he to play under head coach Pete ...19 April 2025
Wilson said that the idea is to pair “a speed back to go with Joe Mixon,” noting that the Texans actually told Texas RB Jaydon Blue that they plan to draft a running back. Blue was clocked at the second-fastest 40-yard-dash time, positionally, running it in 4.38 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine. He is an accomplished receiver out of the backfield and would fit the mold as a passing-down complement to Mixon. In his 2024 regular season at Texas, Blue rushed 125 times for 706 yards and eight ...18 April 2025
Earlier this offseason, the Ravens extended a one-year tender to Washington, giving them the right of first refusal if another team wished to sign him. Had Washington departed, the Ravens would not have received any compensation. The deadline for an outside offer expired at the end of the business day today, which leaves Washington with only two options: Sign the tender sheet and play for the Ravens this season or sit out. Washington understandably opted to test free agency after a breakout 2024 ...18 April 2025
Dulac said that defensive tackle prospects Mason Graham, Walter Nolen, Derrick Harmon and Kenneth Grant sit atop the Steelers’ draft board. The Steelers have reportedly offered Aaron Rodgers a one-year deal and are “willing to wait” for his decision, at least for now. Dulac said that the Steelers “are still spooked by the whole Kenny Pickett evaluation,” adding that “they took the best quarterback of a very average draft class, and I don’t think they want to make that mistake again ...

Smith spent much of the 2024 season on the Texans’ practice squad before being promoted to the active roster in December. He secured his lone 2024 target for a two-yard reception. Smith will potentially slot in as the team’s No. 4 tight end. He does not need to be on fantasy radars.18 April 2025
Speculation as to what the Saints will do with the No. 9 overall pick has increased lately, with commentators commonly linking them to Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders. Underhill’s “guess” is “that pick is not going to be a quarterback,” instead labeling the Saints’ No. 40 overall pick as “the sweet spot” for the position. Underhill does not believe there “exists” a quarterback prospect that the team deems worthy of the No. 9 pick, and addressed Derek Carr’s recent shoulder-inju ...18 April 2025
This is likely a non-story. Golden was timed at 4.29 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine, registering the fastest time among wide receiver prospects. While Golden is probably just keeping himself atop news cycles, we can quietly make note of his claim regarding the ankle. Golden reportedly suffered a high-ankle sprain in January. If the ankle really is still bothering him three months later, it could be something to monitor. He was healthy enough to lead his position group at the combine’s mos ...18 April 2025
Geno Smith’s recent contract extension effectively locks him into the 2025 starting role. Could the Raiders add a quarterback this year, with the intent to let him compete with Smith in 2026? Yes, they certainly could, and doing so gels with Pete Carroll’s mantra of facilitating competition at all positions, at all times. While Cam Ward is all but guaranteed to have been drafted when the Raiders pick at No. 6, they could have their pick of the remaining quarterback class.18 April 2025
Hortiz discussed the Chargers’ need to find an impactful boundary wide receiver to pair with star slot receiver Ladd McConkey. When discussing specific traits that the player must possess, Hortiz highlighted the ability to gain separation from a defender and the importance of working the “vertical stem.” He also explained that size was not viewed as a critical factor for the role and that there are “different sizes and profiles of each guy.” Hortiz also adds that they view this class a ...18 April 2025
The Texans’ wide receiver group is murky beyond star No. 1 wide receiver Nico Collins. Stefon Diggs departed via free agency, and Tank Dell’s expected return date remains unknown following his 2024 knee dislocation and multi-ligament tear. The team initially addressed the effective losses of their Nos. 2 and 3 wide receivers by trading for former Jaguars slot receiver Christian Kirk and signing both Justin Watson and Braxton Berrios, who is currently recovering from an ACL tear of his own. K ...18 April 2025
Jones believes Ramsey has been known to be available since the NFL Combine and that Miami going public with it is an attempt to raise up a bigger trade market. It’s not surprising that a cornerback entering his age-31 season with a large recent extension isn’t going to return a major draft pick. Ramsey played well in 2024, with a 71.9 PFF coverage grade and a 76.9 overall rating. Still, he’s not likely to fetch more than a third-round pick in a trade.18 April 2025
Zrebiec couches this in a prediction that the Ravens will trade Andrews during the draft, but the way it is framed suggests the reporter doesn’t necessarily believe it will happen, as he says it “doesn’t feel likely.” The Ravens, per Zrebiec, want “strong value” in return for Andrews. With both Andrews and Dallas Goedert reportedly available, teams looking at the veteran tight ends are probably dealing from a position of strength at this point. Andrews remains a name to watch as we h ...18 April 2025
“One executive from an AFC team went so far as to say it’s ‘a forgone conclusion’ that Vegas will take him with the No. 6 pick,” Jones added. It would not qualify as a surprise that a Pete Carroll team wanted to invest at running back, nor should it be a shock that the Raiders would add to a running back room that is regarded as one of the worst in the NFL currently. Jeanty would immediately be a bellcow back for the Raiders — it’s hard to imagine him not being a bellcow no matter ...18 April 2025
Pouncy is reading between the lines of Holmes’ quote that signing a wide receiver to an extension is “very expensive” and Holmes saying that he’d like to add “more competition” to the wideout room. The Lions have already said that they’ll pick up Williams’ fifth-year option, but it is possible that they spend an earlier pick than expected on a wideout and prepare for Williams’ eventual departure while adding a little extra spice to the offense in the short term. Pouncy notes th ...18 April 2025
“Releasing will be an option,” Dehner believes while noting the team would free up $3.5 million in cap space if they did so. The Bengals have already brought in Samaje Perine behind Chase Brown this offseason, and if they draft a running back next weekend, it should probably be viewed as an admission that they don’t think Moss will play. Dynasty teams that have been holding on to Moss should be aware that he’s not exactly a must-roster at this point.18 April 2025
“The absence of a decision on Davis logically suggests the Eagles are still weighing their options ahead of the May 1 deadline,” writes The Athletic’s Brooks Kubena. Perhaps the Eagles are leaving their options open because of certain draft scenarios, but Davis has been a fine rotational player for the Eagles in his first three seasons. Davis has generated a 70.9 or better PFF grade in all three of his seasons to date, but has yet to play more than 561 snaps for the Eagles.18 April 2025
Cook and the Bills have not seen eye-to-eye on a contract extension this offseason, with Cook wanting $15 million a year and the Bills being reticent to commit that much. Buscaglia guesses that “as much as the Bills need Cook in 2025, they likely have the leverage in this situation.” He also speculates that Cook could be transition tagged in the 2026 offseason. We haven’t seen any reason to believe that Cook will sit out real games to seek an extension, but it probably shouldn’t be a sur ...18 April 2025
“Miami has 10 picks total, including four picks in those three rounds, so they have the ammunition to do it,” Jones explains. The Dolphins signed Zach Wilson as Tua Tagovailoa’s backup this year, but it’s a short-term commitment for the former No. 2 overall pick. Tagovailoa’s concussion history makes him a hard quarterback to rely on, so it makes plenty of sense for the Dolphins to invest in a potential backup plan.18 April 2025
“A lot of times you see him catching these screens. But he can run routes. He can move inside and do different things too. I am excited about that,” Randle El continued. A second-year breakout wouldn’t be surprising for Odunze under new head coach Ben Johnson. Currently hovering outside of the top-50 picks in most best ball ADPs, there exists a lot of upside for Odunze to capture the Bears No. 1 receiver role and make a big leap in 2025. Randle El said he had Odunze ranked as the No. 1 rec ...
