We all had the feeling that this draft was going to be a bit crazy, and it lived up to the billing. Even with the tag as a "weak quarterback class",  the quarterbacks became the hot topic over the past few weeks. Teams like the Browns, Jets, 49ers, Bills, Cardinals, and even the Chargers, were being linked to the top 3 players at the position. However, the Chiefs and Texans, [...]

1. Cleveland Browns-  Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A & M Myles Garrett is the hands down best prospect in this year's draft, and his combine performance backed that up. The Browns obviously have needs all over the field and quarterback is definitely at the top of that list as well, which makes Mitchell Trubisky and Deshaun Watson options. However, the Browns also have the 12th pick in the draft and [...]

Fantasy Focus: Brandin Cooks

Trades are relatively rare in the NFL (excluding draft night), except if you're the New England Patriots. They make a lot of them. Earlier this month, the Patriots traded away their first round pick, # 32 overall and their 3rd round pick (#103) to the Saints, in exchange for wideout Brandin Cooks and the Saint's 4th round pick (#118).
