With one of the best overall talent collections in the NFL, it was a disappointing 2018 for the Atlanta Falcons. A strong class from the 2019 NFL Draft can push them back into the Super Bowl picture. It seems like forever ago that the Atlanta Falcons were blowing a 28-3 lead to the New England
Right now the Lions have the No. 8 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, but GM Bob Quinn would be happy to trade down for extra picks. Most NFL teams are doing everything they can to keep their Draft Day intentions a secret this time of year. The Lions don’t abide by that philosophy.

The Falcons were decimated by injuries in 2018 which makes it all the more important for Atlanta to have a productive 2019 NFL Draft.

The Panthers have enjoyed a terrific start to free agency, but Ron Rivera needs his front office to nail the draft to help him get back to the playoffs.

With an open Super Bowl window, the New Orleans Saints have an important task with the 2019 NFL Draft; keep the window open. The New Orleans Saints are going to be staples in the NFL playoffs and continue to make Super Bowl runs as long as Drew Brees and Sean Payton are together. 2018 was

It’s pretty clear head coach Bruce Arians isn’t enamored with Gerald McCoy. It’s also clear that the defensive tackle may leave the Buccaneers as a result.
