Despite a successful trade down in 2025, a recent history of trades in the Top 10 being successful for teams dropping down, and a roster full of needs, Cleveland Browns fans are not a big fan of the idea of trading out of the sixth overall pick. Given the team’s NFL draft history, that stance […]

From virtuosos to role players and […]
What a good offseason the Arizona Cardinals have had this year. At season’s end, the offensive line was viewed as a dumpster fire. Both guard spots had huge issues, along with OT Kelvin Beachum.

There will be, at least, one player from Indiana’s national championship team drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders this month.
