2019 NFL Draft Positional Review: Offensive Tackles

By AJ Schulte | February 11, 2019 | Comments Off on 2019 NFL Draft Positional Review: Offensive Tackles

By Carter Donnick | February 6, 2019 | Comments Off on Senior Bowl “South” Practices Recap

Introduction: Though the weather may have been somewhat bleak, Senior Bowl week was far from it.

As I am starting to wrap up the finishing touches on quite a few of these draft prospects, I’ve started to run each player through my own personal grading scale and rank my top 10 prospects. I will try to get two position groups out per week (one offensive, one defensive) leading up to the […]

By Aaron Brumley | January 29, 2019 | Comments Off on Senior Bowl Week: Defensive Standouts

Daniel Jones: Not the Answer

By Carter Donnick | January 26, 2019 | Comments Off on Daniel Jones: Not the Answer

By Nick Farabaugh | January 22, 2019 | Comments Off on Draft Preview-Kelvin Harmon vs N’Keal Harry. Who can help your team the best?

The 2019 WR class is absolutely loaded. There are legitimately around 25 receivers that could be starters someday, but the top of the class certainly is not limited either.

By Aaron Brumley | January 16, 2019 | Comments Off on Senior Bowl Preview: Linebackers

After diving into Senior Bowl’s most talented position group yesterday here on DFF Devy, today I look at a more underwhelming bunch, the linebackers.
