Why Notre Dame QB Ian Book Fits in with the New Orleans Saints

May 3, 2021 By Leave a Comment

In his media opps with the Notre Dame media heading into the NFL Draft, quarterback Ian Book often spoke of his height, and how that was holding his draft stock down.

“Not many people thought he’d get picked in the fourth round,” said Book’s college coach, Brian Kelly, on media Zoom this morning. “Now he’s got a chance to compete for a starting position.” Book was drafted by the New Orleans Saints with the 28th pick of the fourth round (133rd overall).

May 1, 2021 By 1 Comment

On night one of the NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers selected Rashawn Slater, OT, Northwestern with the 13th pick. He now joins DE Joe Gaziano and RB Justin Jackson as former Wildcats who are now Chargers.

Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald knows Chargers GM Tom Tellesco and LAC head coach Brandon Staley well, and Cody Cejda, a former Northwestern director of football operations and strategy, left to serve in a special assistant to the head coach role in L.A. Analytics are part of the role that Cedja has with the organization.

New Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields Excites Northwestern Coach Pat Fitzgerald

May 1, 2021 By Leave a Comment

The Chicago Bears did exactly what they had to this NFL Draft weekend- they went out and got a real quarterback. Andy Dalton and Nick Foles simply won’t cut it. Bears GM Ryan Pace and Bears Head Coach Matt Nagy know that, just as they know that this draft and this season is their final chance to get it right.

The draft board fall of Justin Fields is just like the purpose/advantage of cryptocurrency- there is no discernible explanation or reason. The reasons given for why Fields slid down the draft don’t come close to making any sense, but when he did, the Bears made their move to get him.

Notre Dame to Chargers Pipeline Could Continue in NFL Draft

April 29, 2021 By Leave a Comment

The Los Angeles (it’s still difficult to not call them San Diego) Chargers are beloved by some neutrals and even non-football fans due to their powder blue and yellow color scheme. Many will tell you that their uniforms are the best in the league. They do have a dark navy blue offering, which is somewhat reminiscent of Notre Dame.

Just turn that yellow a bit closer to gold and you’ve got it, and by it I mean “Notre Dame Southwest.” The 2020 roster had four former Fighting Irish players on the roster: Donte Vaughn Alohi Gilman, Drue Tranquill and Jerry Tillery.

71 of the Worst NFL Draft Cliches, Buzzwords, and Assorted Word Salad

April 28, 2021 By 3 Comments

mike-mayock

By this week, all the soundbites for every NFL draft prospect now run together into an indecipherable word salad. Actually, it all becomes gobbedly-gook well before this week, due to the over-usage of cliches. All the Draftniks do it:

Mel Kiper Jr., Todd McShay, Mike Mayock, and Jon Gruden most of all. Gruden speaks with a much higher buzz word/NFL draft catch-phrase per sentence percentage than anyone. If I sat down and watched Gruden’s “QB Camp” show again, this list would be four times as long.

Odds Favor Detroit Lions Selecting a WR or QB at Pick #7 in NFL Draft

April 20, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Quoting one of the most popular songs about Detroit in recent history: “you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime.” That iconic line from the refrain of Eminem’s timeless classic “Lose Yourself” applies to everyone involved in the high stakes poker that is the annual NFL Draft.

The Detroit Lions, coming off another dreadful season with a 5-11 record, pick seventh overall, when they’re on the board a week from Thursday night. They have to get this pick right, and the sports books believe they’ll go with either a quarterback or a wide receiver.
