Receiver trades will shape NFL playoff race in 2010 – and beyond

In the midst of all of the hype, hoopla, fanfare, and pomp and circumstance (wait, did I cover everything?) leading up to next weekend’s NFL Draft, four major trades have taken place this month. Not only will these trades have an effect on what some teams are planning to do next week, but these trades [...]

Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft: 4.0

We’ve learned a lot in the past two months, via the NFL Combine , pro days, injuries, NFL trades, and through NFL free agency . We now know that Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy can throw the ball and are fully healed, and we know that Joe Haden isn’t as slow as his combine 40-time [...]

With Cincinnati Not an Option, Where Will Terrell Owens Go?

It’s that time again. Time for a good, hard look around the league, quickly analyzing all the options remaining for a big-name free agent. This time around, it’s Terrell Owens. Again. We scoured over all the options last year when Owens was released by the Cowboys, and virtually nobody thought of the Buffalo Bills, and [...]

2010 Free Agency: Top 10 Running Backs

It’s a wild place out there in the current free agency realm, but somebody has to make sense of it. There are more capable running backs available on the market than you’d think, and with Jamal Lewis added to the mix (unless he retires), the field just got a little fatter. Now, that doesn’t mean [...]

2010 NFL Free Agency: Top 10 Quarterbacks

The NFL has 32 teams, and of those teams, there are 23 of them that have a bonafide elite starter or a young passer that is deemed the “franchise passer”, at least for now. That means roughly nine teams could or should be looking at the quarterback position in the 2010 NFL Draft, and it [...]

Is Al Davis Just Messing With Tom Cable Because He Can?

ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported that Oakland head coach Tom Cable will be retained, and at least for now, appears set to coach the Raiders for the 2010 season. Despite rumors that team owner Al Davis was pursuing possible candidate for the past week and a half, the Raiders brass appears to have abruptly cut-off [...]

Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

We already took a crack at the 2010 NFL Draft, but after seeing which players have officially declared, and how several prospects unfolded as the season went on, we knew we were way off. But it’s the dawning of a new NFL season, despite the playoffs still going on, as the other 28 teams not [...]

Kevin Roberts’ NFL Post-Season Power Rankings

You can never learn anything if you don’t re-trace your steps. That’s why, instead of merely assessing each team’s standing in the rankings for the final Power Rankings of the season, this writer is looking back to Week One, both to judge the teams that failed us, as well as the writer’s original thoughts on [...]

Don’t Blame Josh McDaniels For Denver’s Woes

His tenure started with a bang. Down Goes Cutler, in a way, is what should have rang in the ears of NFL fans everywhere. Of course, you had your Jay Cutler haters, who shrugged off the bold move by new head coach, Josh McDaniels, to challenge the rising superstar quarterback. Bold? Yes, you’d say. Stupid? [...]

Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 17

We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn’t just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, “Who can’t?”. Speaking of former unbeaten [...]
