The Boom-Bust Wide Receiver Prospects of 2016

Looking for the 2016 Version of Matt Jones

Kenny Lawler: Give Me a Reason

Meet Mr.Athleticism of 2016 Tight End Class

The 2016 tight end class lacks athleticism overall. Both the 2015 and 2014 classes had better overall marks among its drafted subset. The top tight end in terms of projection model athleticism is definitely not a household name. In fact, I did not know of ...

Tyler Ervin: High Upside or Fool’s Gold?

Tyler Ervin did everything right at the NFL Combine. He ran in the low-4.4s with quality jumps. However, his sub-200 pound frame is a tough hurdle to fantasy greatness. Here is some historical context: Get the rest of this content plus Rankings, Metrics, and 100s of Premium ...

Derrick Henry and the Low-Production Running Backs of 2016 NFL Draft Class

Sterling Shepard: The Billboard for Average

LaQuon Treadwell: Shaky NFL Draft Round 1 Ground

LaQuon Treadwell has yet to have his Pro Day, filling in the gaps on his physical profile during the 2016 NFL Draft process. The combine numbers and the 40-time estimate, however, paint a rather dim outlook considering his likely Round 1 draft pedigree. LaQuon Treadwell: Athleticism Get ...
