Hower NFL

                                          Photo: Wesley Hitt/Getty Images  Oh how far the mighty have fallen. The Los Angeles Rams were in the Super Bowl a little over a year ago. Remember that? Now they are competing with the Arizona Cardinals for third place in the NFC West, as the 49ers and the Seahawks are head and shoulders above what the Rams are right now. Things are rapidly falling apart for this team and they need to have one heck of a draft in order to turn this thing around, something that is complicated with no first-round picks at their disposal thanks to the trade for CB Jalen Ramsey. I’ll use the Mock Draft Simulator from  TheDraftNetwork.com  to try and rebuild this roster so they can compete within the division in 2020. The Rams offensive line is weird dude. They have so many bodies here and so little quality it is maddening. OT Andrew Whitworth ...

                                          Photo: Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images  The San Francisco 49ers do not have a heck of a lot of draft capital in the 2020 NFL Draft and yet they do not have very many needs either. The Super Bowl loss will sting for quite a while for the Niners, but this is a team that should be right in the thick of contention come the start of the new season. Armed with two first-round picks and not much else, hitting on those early selections will increase San Francisco’s odds of getting back to the big dance. I took a turn at making those picks using the Mock Draft Simulator from  TheDraftNetwork.com The 49ers trading away DeForest Buckner was a huge shock to the football world, as any trade involving one of the best interior pass rushers in the game would. San Francisco has a ready-made replacement in DT Arik Armstead, who was a fine rotat...

                                          Photo: Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images The Arizona Cardinals made probably the best move in free agency in trading for WR DeAndre Hopkins. Adding Hopkins was already a good move in and of itself but when you consider Arizona only gave up a second-round pick and RB David Johnson, a player whose contract the team was trying to move anyway, that makes the trade even better. God bless Bill O’Brien. The Cardinals are an ascending team with Hopkins and thrilling second-year quarterback Kyler Murray, however, there are plenty of holes to fill in order to complete this rebuild Arizona started. I will try to address these needs as best as I can using the Mock Draft Simulator from  TheDraftNetwork.com The Cardinals have a host of receivers in place for Murray and Kenyan Drake is poised to open the season as the starting running back, so the skil...

                                          Photo: Getty Images  I never want to see another Duck Hodges/Mason Rudolph quarterbacked season for as long as I live. It is amazing the Pittsburgh Steelers even made it to .500 by the end of the year. The biggest reason their season did not end in a total collapse was because of how dominant their defense became after trading for S Minkah Fitzpatrick. This deal for the former Miami Dolphin has left Pittsburgh without a first-round pick, but they have very few needs going into 2020 as long as QB Ben Roethlisberger returns to form. Once again, I am using the Mock Draft Simulator from  TheDraftNetwork.com  to see if I can fortify the Steelers roster around their rehabbing quarterback. Injuries decimated the Steelers offense in 2019 with Roethlisberger, RB James Conner and WR Juju Smith-Schuster all missing significant time....

                                          Photo: Getty Images The Baltimore Ravens are one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now. Lamar Jackson is the reigning MVP and he has a strong roster around him. While the Ravens playoff defeat against the Tennessee Titans was a disappointing end to an otherwise promising season, Baltimore is in a great spot to compete for a championship in 2020. Finding quality prospects in the draft will only improve the odds of the 2020 Ravens hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at season’s end and I’ll see if I can give them such a draft with the Mock Draft Simulator from  TheDraftNetwork.com Despite having one of the most dynamic offenses in football a year ago, the Ravens could still stand to fortify that side of the ball. WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown was dynamic in his rookie season despite playing through injury. The receiving corps outside of...

It is the start of a new era for the Cincinnati Bengals, one that centers around adding one of the best quarterback prospects of the past decade. Let’s face it, unless the Bengals do something stupid like trade the number one overall pick to the Miami Dolphins, Joe Burrow is going to be a Bengal. But adding a new franchise quarterback is not going to completely fix everything for the team with the worst record in the NFL in 2019. The first pick may be obvious but executing strong picks with the rest of this draft could build a solid foundation for the future in Cincinnati. I will try to do just that using the Mock Draft Simulator from  TheDraftNetwork.com One of Joe Burrow’s best traits is his ability to escape pressure and buy second chances downfield for his receivers. However, that does not mean the Bengals should ignore the offensive line. 2019 draft picks Jonah Williams and Michael Jordan (not that one) are the only real long-term assets they have up front, making the lin...
