DJ Moore lands in Buffalo!
DJ has not exactly lit the NFL on fire while at Carolina and Detroit, but who did he have throwing him the ball?
Does he reinvent his career with Josh Allen? I mean DJ is not over 30 yet
Is DJ the missing piece on this offense?
Does going from an indoor stadium to a very cold outdoor one affect him?
Geno lands back with the Jets!
Geno has clearly changed is career in last 4 years, will he bring that to the Jets?
Does the Seattle version show up, or the Las Vegas version?
IMO, Geno got screwed in Vegas. He comes to a team that is simply put, in dire need to win some games for HC/GM. He will have a better OL, better WRs. Geno will hold the ship and win more games than last yea.
… Then the Police stuff happened this week
Doubs lands in New England!
Romeo has been just a role player in GB. That maybe the reason for the mediocrity. GB always had a crowded WR room, and many with similar talent. Throw in a real good TE, and you end up with very few opportunities.
Will Doubs finally emerge as primary WR? Even with AJ Brown in town? Meaning, will he command more targets than he had in GB.
I really believe that he is a very talented WR, just in wrong place with wrong QB. I like Maye over Love, and Doubs should flourish in NE, even with AJ. I see Doubs as one of the top WR2 in the game, certainly in our division.
Chris Bell lands in Miami!
Will he regain his form once healthy?
Will he help Malik at all in 2026?
Chris Bell has been a favorite of mine all off-season. I actually picked him in both Dynasty leagues (in ours I trade a future #1 for him), with the 10th pick. I really feel, eventually when healthy, and a QB is in place, Chris becomes a legit #1 WR in the NFL.
Welcome to the AFCE, AJ Brown!
My take:
The positive: AJ is an incredible upgrade for Maye. He will help the QB Â immensely in year 2. The Patriots did NOT have a WR capable of stretching the field, the way AJ can. Their success relied on some crazy passes by Maye, and that is not sustainable. Brown, together with Doubs, will immediately improve this O. AJ is also familiar with the HC, as the two have already worked together. This move gives the Patriots a shot at repeating as divisional champs.
The Negative: AJ Brown has been a lousy locker room guy in Philly for the last two years. He didn’t get along with either OC and QB. Something that a WR has to do, in order to be the focal point of that O, as he wanted to be. These traits scare me. Yes, he worked with Vrabel, but that was when AJ was a youngster in the league. Now his head has grown in size, and he is NOT the same person he was at TEN. The other concern for me is his age together with his health issues. Patriots will need to manage his snaps to keep him around all season. But, does he accept sitting a few plays a game?
Final Thoughts: After playing in the SB last season, the Patriots have to keep improving. Not sure anyone including HC believed they would have had the success they had in 2025-6. Clearly, to keep improving, you have to get more players, and Brown has played in SBs. Overall, hard to argue with the Patriots in making this trade, not every day you can get your hands on one of the top WRs in the league.
Jets were a huge disappointment last season, in every facet of the game. HC?GM were on fans chopping block, and many felt that Woody “Adolf ” Johnson wanted to fire Glenn after one season.
Will a good draft and free agent signings improve things?
Will Geno become the Seattle version of Geno?
Will the D finally get a an INT?
Will they get to the QB? Second worst sack totals last season
It all better happen, or heads will roll yet again setting things back years. Continuity is something that this team has not had since Weeb Ewbank, it’s time!
Patriots surprised the NFL and even their fans a year ago. First by winning the division that had been owned by the Bills. Second by making it to the SB, where eventually their weakness showed up.
Will they do it again?
Is Maye ready to make a big jump and follow Tom’s success?
Will the Russini/Vrabel tabloid bonanza affect the team?
If Maye improves, this team has all the tools to win the division again. Making it to the SB again? Not so sure, but, hey, they did it a year ago?
Dolphins world came crashing down in 2025, and heads rolled, as they should have. Tua was released as well as many others, and Waddle traded.
Will a real good draft turn things around?
How good can Malik be as a starter?
Will the team try to win, or is tanking the only task?
They have tanked before (Suck For Luck), but it didn’t help. Although the HC and GM have free rein to lose, will that keep the fans happy?
It became pretty clear that WR was the strength of this class with 6 going in the 1st round, then the reaches for RB came in the 2nd. So this year I’m grading on a curve, snagging WR’s gets a bump in grade, RBs whose value really should have pushed them to the 3rd or UDFA if there wasn’t such a shortage at the position…demerits for you!
Noss: This is the only class where RB did not ding the grade, consensus #1 fantasy player by both fantasy community and actual NFL front offices gets taken at #1. Fields is nice value in the 3rd, likely only available because of the run on RB in the 2nd. Grade: B+
1.1 RB Jeremiyah Love – Cardinals
2.1 TE Eli Stowers – Eagles
3.1 WR Malachi Fields – Giants
Mars: With the most picks in this year’s draft and look at all those WR’s. A thing of beauty and really the only thing keeping this from an A+ is that 3rd round kinda fell apart, but Mars got more value in the 1st 2 rounds than half the league got the entire draft. Grade: A
1.2 WR Carnell Tate – Titans
2.2 WR Denzel Boston – Browns
2.7 WR Antonio Williams – Commanders
3.2 QB Ty Simpson – Rams
3.8 RB Desmond Claiborne – Vikings
Link: The Tate/Lemon/Tyson watch is on!! Did just notice a typo in pick 3.3, but deciding to leave it. Grade: A-
1.3 WR Makai Lemon – Eagles
3.3 WR Skyler Bill – Bills
North: I had this as an A to start because of what I believe to be a reach at 2.9 just to fill the roster spot at the RB position, but Tyson on the Saints, Sadiq on the Jets and Sarratt on the Ravens…there’s a lot of volume going to go through those guy’s hands. And I actually liked Sarratt over Omar Cooper until the combine told us Cooper was the superior athlete. Grade: A+
1.4 WR Jordyn Tyson – Saints
1.8 TE Kenyon Sadiq – Jets
2.8 WR Elijah Sarratt – Ravens
2.9 RB Kayton Allen – Commanders
Archer: 1.5 was never going to be an enviable spot to be drafting, knowing what was going to happen in picks 1 through 4 with the only thing subject to change being the order. Some nice value getting Bernard in the 3rd being the only saving grace from this being a disaster just based on how the chips fell. Grade: D+
1.5 RB Jadarian Price – Seahawks
3.4 WR Germie Bernard – Steelers
3.5 TE Max Klare – Rams
Dud: The Browns are going to have a similar issue on their hands as the Bears just when it comes to mouths to feed. Bears fantasy production was held above water by Caleb Williams, something the Browns don’t have. Then we get to Washington, who might be the best RB of the class not named love, but he’s nothing more than a Jeanty handicap for at least 2 years. Grade: C
1.6 WR KC Concepcion – Browns
3.6 RB Mike Washington – Raiders
3.9 WR Brenen Thompson – Chargers
Hoodie: Noticing Hoodie is sneaking around in the shadows with the pairing Omar Cooper with Garrett Wilson and Jonah Coleman with RJ Harvey. This makes me excited for the schedule to get released this week, hoping this is the matchup when my best players are on bye. Grade: C+
1.7 WR Omar Cooper – Jets
2.3 RB Jonah Coleman – Broncos
CGC: Going through this exercise and seeing these results show everything you’re not supposed to do with this draft class. One of these years CGC will hit on a Chiefs drafted RB. Grade: C-
1.9 QB Fernando Mendoza – Raiders
2.4 RB Emmett Johnson – Chiefs
2.5 WR Ted Hurst – Buccaneers
Thumbs: Well, well, well, thanks for joining us this year! I believe going into day 1, Luciano only had pick 3.7 but that’s not stopping him. Thumbs might be higher than Dolphins fans on 1-ACL-Deebo, but the draft is all about finding your guys and sticking to your guns. Grade: B
1.10 WR Chris Bell – Dolphins
2.6 RB Nicholas Singleton – Titans
2.10 WR De’Zhaun Stribliing – 49ers
3.7 RB Adam Randall – Ravens
Finfan: Mr. Irrelevant being on Browns-South, another team with many mouths to feed doesn’t bode well. I did like what I saw from Branch at the combine, but there seems to be too many red flags for the stars to align on this one panning out. Grade: D-
3.10 WR Zachariah Branch – Falcons
2025 season had to be considered a huge disappointment for the Bills. Many expected them to take the next step and get to a SB, instead, they lost the Division, leading to the HC’s demise.
Will they retake the Division in 2026?
Will they make it to the SB?
Was Sean McDermott really the problem?
