A mostly mundane draft finally got some juice with the addition of Demond Claiborne. When Aaron Jones goes down with his typically amount of injuries Claiborne will be able to make a nice lightning and thunder tandem with Jordan Mason. Who knows, maybe this will push for more to come from Xavier Scott as well. In short, he's a home-run threat out of the backfield and that is always welcome! Selection Grade: A The thing that kept it at just an A is that he is on the smaller si

The multi-hour wait for Minnesota to be back on the clock yielded more head-scratching. Not so much with the second pick but taking a fullback with the 159th pick seems like a reach, by about three rounds. Yeah, we all love CJ Ham but that was considered more of a hole than running back even with Emmett Johnson on a platter for them? Just because the draft is in Pittsburgh doesn't mean the philosophy of the draft has to be blue-collar! Bredeson is such a non-factor guy that h

After months of speculation that it was going to be the Oregon safety or that it could be Kenyon Sadiq to replace TJ Hockenson after the upcoming season, it turned out to be a left-field selection. Caleb Banks was not a familiar name during the process and with his medical history, it remains to be seen whether this was the prudent pick. But before going any further, how about some highlights! Okay, now Brian Flores has a beast of a player to bring heat on quarterbacks while

Not even Thanksgiving but the season is effectively over. Someone with delusional optimism might say that they can get above .500 and have a shot at a wild card berth. Delusional being the key word because the NFC is far too loaded for a team with that many losses already to crack the wild card. It's conceivable that a 12-win team won't make the postseason with the way that the wins are piling up. That's what comes from three straight losses after the second best performance
