3 Alabama Players for the Saints to Consider Alabama has three lineman who could fit in the New Orleans locker room if drafted. Author: Apr 15, 2021 Pivoting in the NFL Draft process is nothing new for New Orleans. Shocking draft choices aren't as well. Behind the scenes in the Saints Draft War Room, the chess pieces are being judiciously moved around the draft board. I love to be the fly on the wall. For weeks I thought cornerback and linebacker might be the selection. I still believe these are the most glaring positions of need. Yet, Sean Payton and New Orleans may see it differentl...

Apr 14, 2021 The NFL Draft is almost here. After a free agency period in which the Jacksonville Jaguars prioritized value, versatility, and filling holes on the roster, it will now have the luxury of being able to select the best player available with each of its ten draft picks. With that said, there are still position groups that need an injection of talent more than others- here are our rankings of what Jacksonville’s biggest draft priorities should be on the defensive side of the ball. 1. Secondary After quarterback and tight end, a playmaking defensive back may be what Jacksonville ne...

Bruce from Green Cove Springs, FL The Jaguars' free-agency signings, to this point, seem as much about depth as adding skill positions. One advantage to depth, of course, is that in the event of injury to a starter, a strong backup can step up without too much of a drop off. But isn't the bigger advantage the ability to rotate players in and out (especially on defense) and keep the starters a bit fresher? I have gotten a version of this question a lot, and this seems a common perception. I guess I just see the Jaguars' free-agency approach this offseason as more straightforward than many peop...

Copied! The NFL expanded to its current ranks of 32 teams in 2002, which in turn increased the first round of the draft to 32 picks that spring. The New England Patriots, winners of Super Bowl XXXVI, were the first defending champs to be slotted 32nd and last in the draft's opening round. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winners of Super Bowl LV, are about to become the 20th to do so. The Patriots didn't actually pick 32nd that year, instead trading up 11 spots to grab Colorado tight end Daniel Graham; more on him in a bit. However, they've had five more chances to do so since, with mixed ...

Mike from Atlanta, GA This approach of building a flexible roster that can play varied defensive alignments feels a bit like Moneyball. Is it kinda like the Oakland Athletics when they started that? They didn't go out and sign three guys who could crank out 60-plus home runs. They signed a guy who was good at getting on base, a guy with a high rate of contact to bat behind the guy who gets on base, etc. This feels like that and I'm excited to see it play out on the field. I think inflexibility with the roster, or the inability to adapt and change because of roster personnel, has killed many a...
