Mike Randle’s 2023 NFL Mock Draft – Final

It is time. The 2023 NFL Draft is less than one day away, and we have finally started to get clarity on the litany of rumors that have circulated throughout social media for the past two months.

2023 NFL Rookies Who Might Require Patience in Fantasy

One of the reasons fantasy football rookie drafts are so exciting is because they give us hope. The allure of drafting another Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave or Breece Hall and adding an immediate star to your roster is intoxicating, but this isn’t how it typically shakes out.   More often than not, it takes time […]

2023 NFL Draft Wish List: NFC West

The NFC West is very interesting leading up to the NFL Draft. Two teams have selections inside the top five, while the other two don’t even have first-round selections. Trades are always a huge aspect of the draft, and this division could have a lot to do with that come Thursday. Let’s break it down.  […]

2023 NFL Rookies Who Should Offer Immediate Fantasy Impact

Everyone wants their fantasy rookies to come in and dominate right from the jump, but that’s much easier said than done. It’s rare for NFL first-timers to come in and dominate right away, and the few that do provide extreme value to their fantasy managers.    So who from the 2023 class has the ability […]

2023 NFL Draft Wish List: AFC West

The AFC West continues to run through Kansas City and a Chiefs team that is still celebrating last year’s Super Bowl title. It seemed like last year could be the year the Chargers, Broncos and Raiders really challenged the Chiefs, but that didn’t come to fruition. If those teams are going to have any chance […]

Statistical Scouting: Player Comps for the 2023 NFL Draft Prospects (TE)

Tight ends are more difficult to project by their college efficiencies and combine measurements than either running backs or wide receivers. Most tight end prospects are similarly massive in order to handle the blocking requirements of the position. And none of the combine drills cleanly tips how often a tight end will block or run […]

2023 NFL Draft Wish List: NFC South

Fantasy Football Values that Could Drop in the 2023 NFL Draft

The NFL Draft is a time that brings excitement and optimism to football fans and fantasy managers alike. Dreaming about what a rookie selection could do for your favorite NFL franchise or fantasy roster is a fun exercise, but this doesn’t mean we can simply ignore the fact that the draft isn’t always good for […]

Statistical Scouting: Player Comps for the 2023 NFL Draft Prospects (WR)

A decade ago, you could count on the NFL Draft to put wide receiver prospects in order of their likely long-term fantasy potentials. But in recent years, the rules have changed to make it safer for smaller receivers to work the middle of the field. And more and more teams have cultivated timing-based passing games […]

Statistical Scouting: Player Comps for the 2023 NFL Draft Prospects (RB)

The NFL Draft does a decent job of sorting prospects by their fantasy potentials. But it is hardly a perfect proxy. Typical fantasy scoring places an outsized importance on receiving volume and touchdown potential, and NFL teams can care as much or more about pass- and run-blocking and special teams proficiency as those fantasy-friendlier skills, […]

2023 NFL Draft: Day 2 Wide Receiver Gems

We have a really interesting wide receiver class in the 2023 NFL Draft. You won’t find a Ja’Marr Chase-level prospect. And you won’t find Jaylen Waddle, DeVonta Smith or Garrett Wilson. But there are still plenty of really good players, especially in the later round of the draft.   So who are some potential sleeper […]

It feels like it’s taken forever, but at long last, the 2022 NFL Draft is all set to commence at 8 p.m. Thursday.
