With only around five "elite" tight ends in the league, and only another 10 that could be deemed "solid" fantasy starters, it'd be a waste of time to run through two separate conferences. Here at The Red Zone Report, we're all about delivering fast, accurate knowledge. We don't beat around the bush. Here's a quick look at every team's situation at the tight end spot, with some analysis on which "unheard-of" players could step up this year. AFC East Buffalo Bills - Derek Schouman, ...Read More

The running back position has been covered. Now to the prima donnas, the popcorn, and the drama. Or should I say, the gun-hoarding, gold grill flashing, girlfriend abusing, fantasy all-stars? At this point, yes, I could say that. But it's June, it's warm out, and I'm feeling good about most of the top receivers in this league, even if they are in legal trouble and flirting with costing themselves 3-4 games in 2009. Regardless, if they made the list, they're probably worth taking ...Read More

Above: Another huge season for Thomas Jones? In continuation of my early fantasy overview, I pick up at the running back spot where I left off at the quarterback position; still excited about the fantasy season, but bewildered over all the possibilities that still remain. There are now more RBBC in NFL backfields than ever, and in Denver, we also have to worry about Peyton Hillis stealing touches from rookie, Knowshon Moreno. That's why there's a little thing called handcuffs, baby. Let it be ...Read More

It's June, which means all of those premature NFL power rankings and fantasy football rankings are no longer, well, quite as premature. While everyone (including myself) is discussing LeBron James and his handshake phobia, the Magic and the Lakers, or Bruno's fall into Eminem's lap, I've decided to take that free fall dive into the loving arms of fantasy football. And yes, the fantasy realm loves me back. However, let's pace ourselves. After all, it is in fact the first month of summer ...Read More

Earlier, we gave the first half of our NFL head coach rankings, giving our take on the 16 'worst' head coaches in the NFL. Several of those coaches in the bottom 16 could see themselves in the top 16 in a few years' time with a few successful seasons, and all the same, some of the coaches in our top 16 could land in the bottom 16 (or out of a job) Then, there are those coaches won't be ...Read More

After handing out 2009 NFL Draft team grades to the beasts of the AFC East, it's time to evaluate how the AFC North's quartet did last weekend. Baltimore Ravens Grade: B+ Best: Paul Kruger, DE, Utah Kruger is an elite defensive end with high intensity. He brings versatility and power on either side, as well as solid coverage ability, if used as a linebacker. He should be able to become what Jarrett Johnson never could. Worst: Davon Drew, TE, East Carolina Todd Heap is often injured ...Read More

Go Back to Round 2 Round 3 65. Detroit Lions - Fili Moala, DT, USC Just one of the many USC prospects, Moala has been overlooked all the way into the third round. He is a massive man with good strength, and should give the Lions an inside presence they haven't had since Shaun Rogers. 66. St. Louis Rams - Chip Vaughn, S, Wake Forest They got their tackle and receiver, now addressing the defense is their top priority. Previous: Mohamed Massaquoi, WR, Georgia 67. ...Read More

Go Back to Round 1 Round 2 33. Detroit Lions - James Laurinaits, ILB, Ohio State After getting their franchise quarterback and tackle, it's time to beef up their defense. Laurinaits brings the athleticism, intangibles, and leadership they thought they were getting when they drafted Tedy Lehman years ago. Previous: Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois 34. New England Patriots (From Kansas City) - Louis Delmas, S, Western Michigan It's time for New England to find a quality replacement for Rodney Harrison. Delmas is the best safety ...Read More

How do the draft's top prospects grade out by position? Check out our 2009 NFL Draft prospect rankings. Of course, wait until after you're finished checking out Kevin's updated mock. Updated: 4/24/09 Round 1 1. Detroit Lions - Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia When you calculate the value of the position, the quarterbacks Detroit has, and the money involved, Stafford is the only player that makes sense here. Aaron Curry or Jason Smith would be nice, sure, but the Lions cannot pass ...Read More

The combine gets underway in earnest this weekend, with drills upon drills upon drills taking place from Saturday to Tuesday, starting with the offensive linemen tomorrow and ending with the defensive backs on Tuesday. I thought I’d squeeze in an update ahead of the important stuff, but it goes without saying that what happens over the next several days at Lucas Oil Stadium will shake up many a draft board and mock draft. So, expect next week’s update to look ...Read More
