Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers 2015 NFL Off-Season Preview
Positions of Need Middle Linebacker AJ Hawk and Brad Jones were the week 1 starters for the Packers at middle linebacker last season, but both had atrocious seasons. Hawk was the starter the whole season, but graded out as Pro Football Focus’ 52nd ranked middle linebacker out of 60 eligible.…

Positions of Need Running Back The Colts thought they were set at running back when they traded a 2014 1st round pick for Trent Richardson, who went 3rd overall in 2012. That pick ended up being 26th overall and you could argue the Colts were buying low on Richardson at…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers re-sign WR Randall Cobb
Earlier this week, the reports said that the Packers were unwilling to move past 8-9 million dollars annually for Cobb and that Cobb would likely leave and take a contract worth 11-12 million dollars in Oakland. It appears the two sides have come to a compromise right in the middle…

Continue reading →: New Orleans Saints re-sign RB Mark Ingram
Mark Ingram rushed for 964 yards and 9 touchdowns on 226 carries (4.27 YPC) is 2014, but he’s a one year wonder who rushed for 1462 yards and 11 touchdowns on 356 carries (4.11 YPC) in his first 3 seasons combined, after the Saints drafted him in the 1st round…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans re-sign CB Kareem Jackson
Kareem Jackson was Pro Football Focus’ 11th ranked cornerback in 2014 and he’s not a one year wonder, because he graded out 12th among cornerbacks in 2012 as well. However, he’s graded out below average in his other 3 seasons in the NFL, including each of his first two seasons after the…

Positions of Need Offensive Tackle Ryan Clady missed essentially the whole 2013 season with a foot injury, but Chris Clark played well in Ryan Clady’s absence in 2013 and the Broncos were very excited about their offensive line with Clady returning in 2014. They moved Clark to right tackle and…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys re-sign OT Doug Free
Free was going to be a risky signing anywhere he went, as he’s going into his age 31 season and he struggled mightily in 2011 and 2012, to the point where he was briefly benched down the stretch in 2012. He graded out 51st out of 76 eligible in 2011…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans re-sign OT Derek Newton
If Newton plays like he did last season, he’s worth this deal, which will pay him 26.5 million over 5 years and essentially guarantees him 13.5 million over 2 years (only 10 million is actually guaranteed, but they’re unlikely to cut him after one year with guaranteed money still owed…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys 2015 NFL Off-Season Preview
Positions of Need Defensive Tackle Nick Hayden and Henry Melton played 585 and 433 snaps respectively at defensive tackle last season, but both might not be back in 2015. Hayden is a free agent and should not be welcomed back as a starter, after grading out as Pro Football Focus’…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins re-sign TE Niles Paul
Niles Paul was a 5th round pick of the Redskins’ in 2011 and turning the big bodied wide receiver into a pass catching tight end was always kind of a pet project of Mike Shanahan’s. Ironically, Paul didn’t really produce until this year, when Jay Gruden came in. Paul caught 39…
