As one of the powerhouses in the NFC, the West is one division to watch in the draft. There’s one perfect draft fit for each NFC West team.
One Perfect Draft Fit for Each NFC West Team Arizona Cardinals
Chop Robinson – EDGE Penn State
In Philadelphia, Jonathan Gannon got the most out of his edge rushers. Arizona has less to work with as they continue to rebuild, but the team made a few signings along the defensive line to help improve the defense. Adding Robinson would give the defense some serious juice off the edge. His skill set is reminiscent of Hasson Reddick’s, who flourished in Philade ..read more

With the big event just days away, several big-name analysts have started making predictions for what will happen after the Chicago Bears are officially on the clock. Trades are inevitable, as some teams fall in love with a certain prospect while others try to acquire more picks in an effort to land as many contributors as possible.

With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, mock draft season is in full swing. Every draft proves time and time again how unpredictable the draft is. With that said, it’s still fun to break down different scenarios that could play out on draft night.
Chad Reuter of NFL Network who is one of the best draft analysts in the business released a seven round mock draft on Friday. The mock draft features five trades and five quarterbacks coming off the board in round one in what would be a very exciting draft night.
The full mock draft with Reuter’s analysis is available to che ..read more

The 2024 NFL Draft is almost here and Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce could be a potential trade target. Selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Florida product immediately outplayed his draft stock and earned a reputation as one of the more physical backs in the game. The rookie was a perfect fit for Lovie Smith’s team, finishing the season with 939 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 220 attempts (4.3 yards per carry).
Unfortunately, Pierce’s physical one-cut style of running didn’t translate to DeMeco Ryans’ scheme. The second-year pro averaged just 2.9 yards per ..read more

Several veteran wide receivers are looking for a new contract or a trade, but names like Tee Higgins and Brandon Aiyuk pale in comparison to Justin Jefferson. An unquestioned top-five receiver in the game, the LSU product could end up being the highest-paid non-quarterback in football. The wide receiver position has never been more important than in today’s pass-happy NFL, especially for the Vikings. With Kirk Cousins gone, the team will select a new quarterback, and they’ll need to surround that prospect with weapons if they want him to succeed.
Despite all this, Minnesota has yet to sign th ..read more

Voluntary practices are officially underway, and while there is no official mandate for any individual player to show up, the vast majority arrive all the same. Courtland Sutton, however, is sitting out these practices while he looks for a new contract, and potentially a trade.
A second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Courtland Sutton has been the subject of trade rumors for quite some time. However, once Denver decided to trade Jerry Jeudy instead, most assumed that Sutton would remain with the Broncos for years to come. However, the SMU product has yet to receive an extension and has just ..read more

Teams at the top of the 2024 NFL Draft have a unique opportunity to land an NFL prospect who can change their franchise.
These NFL Draft Prospects Can Become Franchise-Altering Players Drake Maye
Many believe Caleb Williams to be the best quarterback prospect to enter the NFL in years. But beyond Williams, there is reason to believe Maye can also be that special of a player. After a strong 2022 season at North Carolina, Maye had struggles in 2023. His supporting cast and coaching staff changed, the former of which had a similar effect on fellow UNC alum Sam Howell in his final year in Chapel ..read more

After a disappointing debut season with the Carolina Panthers, DJ Chark has yet to receive much interest on the free agent market. Originally signed to be a cost-effective deep threat for Bryce Young, the receiver and quarterback struggled to establish a connection throughout the season. Appearing in 15 games, the former second-round pick caught just 35 of his 66 targets for 525 yards and five touchdowns.
This underwhelming campaign hurt his free agent value, but we don’t have to go back too far to find a time when DJ Chark was a valuable part of a passing offense. While injuries limited him ..read more

The Denver Broncos need a quarterback, and the top options won’t be on the board with the 12th-overall pick. After cutting ties with Russell Wilson – and taking on a record $85 million in dead cap to do so – the team currently has journeyman backup Jarrett Stidham atop their depth chart. Stidham probably doesn’t have what it takes to be a franchise quarterback, and Paul Allen of KFAN1003 recently said that a desperate Broncos team could trade star cornerback Patrick Surtain to move up in the 2024 NFL Draft.
A first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Alabama product wasted no time in establ ..read more

The free agent safety market had a surplus of talent at the start of the 2024 league year. With several big-name stars switching teams, most of the top players have already signed contracts for the 2024 season. However, one article indicates that safety Budda Baker could be a trade candidate as the rebuilding Arizona Cardinals look to get younger.
A second-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Budda Baker has been one of the NFL’s best safeties ever since entering the league, and the trade candidate is still playing at a high level. While injuries limited him to 12 games, the Washington product e ..read more
