In terms of first round picks, as an optimist, I reckon: Near-Locks: Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Allen, Nelson, McGlinchey Probable (50-75%): Price, Hubbard, Bryan, Kolton Miller, Rudolph Plausible (25-50%): Hurst, Andrews, Vander Esch, O'Neill, Williams Long Shots: (sub-25%): Braden Smith...

I was very happy with how Kittle played as a rookie, he’s extremely athletic for a big guy and it has showed up in his production so far. First round TE OJ Howard is a bum, as predicted, picked on “upside” alone and was PFF’s lowest graded first round rookie - even below John Ross, who had one...

I’m going for the Vikings. Pats are great at pass catching positions but other than that they’re not great - mixed OL and a coal defence. Minnesota have an awesome WR, great TE, mostly white OL, two elite starting safeties, and a couple of other guys on defense who get plenty of snaps on Gedeon...

Black DB makes a horrendous, probable-game-losing play for the Saints. Meanwhile the two white DBs for the Vikings played great. Sendejo was just about the best player out of both teams (four tackles and a pick, allowed one catch for 11 yards on five targets) as he continues to solidify his...

A quick look at the starting black quarterback coaching situations around the league, not including Green Bay's Hundley (Rodgers injury replacement) and Houston's Watson (injured most of the season). Panthers - Cam Newton - OC Mike Shula fired. Minority HC safe. Seahawks - Russell Wilson - OC Darrell...

Paddy Fisher (Northwestern) and Colin Schooler (Arizona) named as FWAA freshman All-Americans. Redshirt freshman Fisher totalled 111 tackles (65 solo), 9 tackles for a loss, an interception, and four forced fumbles, while true freshman Schooler had 95 tackles, 13.5 for loss, four sacks, two...

Nevada WR McLane Mannix named to the FWAA freshman all-american team - second player in school history. Mannix had 57 catches for 778 yards and 6 TDs as a true freshman as a three-star (surprise surprise) recruit out of Texas. "“The kid is an unbelievable athlete,” Nevada inside receivers...

Hager did have four solo tackles and a forced fumble (that he recovered) on Hyde against the niners when given significant playing time - he was on the field for every defensive play of the game as the rams rested many players. He showed he has talent so hopefully the coaches look to play him...

The top three rookie WRs in terms of receptions: 1. Cooper Kupp (62 receptions) (pick 69) 2. JuJu Smith Schuster (58) (pick 62) 3. Trent Taylor (43) (pick 177) Meanwhile the highly drafted wide receivers (guys above Smith Schuster)... Pick 5. Corey Davis - 34 receptions Pick 7. Mike Williams -...

According to Pro Football Focus, Harrison Smith wasn't just the best safety in the NFL for 2017 - he was the best-graded player at any position...and the highest graded-safety in the history of PFF. And yet he still wasn't good enough to make the pro bowl in the eyes of the DWFs. His regular...

And it’s not just Smith shining at DB - Andrew Sendejo just keeps getting better and better. Pro Football Focus rate him as the eleventh best safety in the league for 2017 - Smith of course being a clear #1. Sendejo has 80 tackles and 2 picks (coming against two #1 picks/bums in Newton and...

Safety Tanner Muse. Redshirt sophomore

Hubbard 2.5 sacks, Bosa 1.5 sacks, Borland 6 tackles (second on team). OSU have been a disgusting offense but these three guys have been wrecking balls on defence.

A quick statistical look at the NFL quarterback situation There are 23 current white starting quarterbacks and 9 non-white starting quarterbacks in the NFL. This comparison would increase to 24-8 if you exclude injuries (gain two for Rodgers and Luck, lose one for Watson). The top 9...

“Edge defender T.J. Watt has dropped into coverage on 154 of his defensive snaps this year, which is the second-most among all edge-defenders. When in coverage, he’s been targeted 17 times and he’s logged four pass breakups, one interception and allowed a passer rating of 34.7, all of which are...

Trey Quinn leading the SMU receivers with 7 catches for 44 yards and a TD early in the fourth quarter. He may get some more late-game targets as SMU are being blown out 48-10

From Josh Katzenstein on NOLA.com: Maybe he “graded” poorly as an OLB because he was really an MLB?

Deshone Kizer has 410 pass attempts so far this season. He has 9 touchdowns, 9 fumbles, and 19 interceptions at a completion % of under 54%, sub-60 passer rating, and averages under 6 yards/attempt. He's on track to finish up at about 2,700 yards on the season. His first back-up, Cody Kessler...

The first game of football (I’m australian and it’s a fair way from being popular here) I saw was the niners-giants NFC championship game from ~2011 or so, chose to root for the niners in that game and have been a fan ever since. I quickly cottoned onto the whole caste system and it becomes more...

Hoping everybody on here has a great Christmas and holiday season - just remember how important family and health is. My father had a stroke today (he’s 57, I’m only 21), luckily he’s doing alright and it was only very mild but I cannot stress enough just how important it is to be happy and...

San Francisco have signed a second white WR (almost unheard of over the past couple decades on a team outside of Green Bay, New England, and Denver) in Max McCaffrey, who will hopefully get a fair few reps and maybe join Trent Taylor as a favoured target of Garoppolo. His fate and success is...

David Sills V named Sports Illustrated All-American (first team) and AP All-American (second team). Trey Quinn named PFF All-American.

Wilson 13/25 122 yards 1 TD 3 INT Bortles 15/22 221 yards 2 TD 0 INT Guess which one is the media’s favourite MVP candidate and which they’ve wanted replaced.

Kupp up to 118 yards on the day Good day so far, hopefully he can keep going and turn it into a really huge day (150+, maybe 200+?).

I’m not watching the game just looking at the stats so no idea. Hopefully somebody who’s watching the game can give us an evaluation.
