2012 NFL Draft Day 1 Grades
Iowa Left Tackle Riley Reiff was projected to be a top 10 pick. Reiff fell to the Detroit Lions at 23 overall. Reiff was hands down the best value pick in round 1. Pittsburgh got a good consolation prize with David DeCastro. Reiff filled a greater position of need and value with offensive tackles being [...]

1983 was the year of the quarterback. Nearly 30 years later like that draft there is a Stanford quarterback destined to be drafted by the Colts once again. This time, the Colts will keep the Stanford quarterback rather than trading him on draft day. Like the 1983 NFL Draft, I also have 6 quarterbacks going [...]
TweetNew England Patriots Offseason Outlook
The New England Patriots have had a record of 21-3 in the regular season since I did my first Patriots piece for Rant Sports following a tough loss to the Cleveland Browns back in 2010. Congrats to the New York Giants again. While this regular season success is tops in the NFL over the last [...]
TweetSan Francisco 49ers Offseason Outlook
Jim Harbaugh took the San Francisco 49ers team to the NFC Title game in his first year after leaving Stanford. The only way this personal achievement gets topped is if Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck one ups the ole ball coach by getting the Indianapolis Colts to the Super Bowl as a rookie. I think its [...]
TweetBaltimore Ravens Offseason Outlook
In 2008, Ozzie Newsome looked like a rocket scientist with a doctorate from Harvard after trading down with Jacksonville to obtain Joe Flacco while Jacksonville reached for Derrick Harvey with a top 10 pick.

TweetHouston Texans Offseason Outlook
The Houston Texans got to the divisional round of the 2012 NFL Playoffs even without starting quarterback Matt Schaub. Schaub is back so the Texans could be better with Matt Schaub starting instead of TJ Yates. Free Agency Recap Houston dealt DeMeco Ryans to the Philadelphia Eagles. Bradie James a free agent signing from Dallas, [...]
TweetDenver Broncos Offseason Outlook
The Denver Broncos got to the divisional round with Tim Tebow before losing to the New England Patriots. John Elway and Denver executives decided not to renew the Tim Tebow show for a second season. Instead Denver went out and signed Peyton Manning who is coming off neck surgery. Free Agency Recap Denver was active [...]
TweetPittsburgh Steelers Offseason Outlook
The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a brutal playoff loss to the hands of Denver Broncos. Pittsburgh picks 24th. I mocked Midwestern State Amini Silatolu in round 1 in my last two mock drafts after originally mocking Vontaze Burfict in 2 mocks before the NFL Combine.
