The NFL Draft takes place tonight, but for now please enjoy my final quarterback rankings for the 2018 NFL Draft. I only ranked seven total quarterbacks as I’m focusing on the player who I deem to have NFL starter potential in some capacity. Not many starters come out of a single class, but I expect…
I know. You might be sick of mock drafts at this point. But with just hours to go until the 2018 NFL draft, it is time for my final thoughts on what to expect Thursday night. One of the overarching questions this draft season has been the idea of “will versus should?” It has most…
Finally we are here. My top five quarterbacks in this class. Probably nothing really shocking in here if you have been following my work over the past few months, but nonetheless, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. 5. Josh Allen, Wyoming Likely the most polarizing player in this quarterback group, Josh Allen sits atop…
It’s been quite an interesting last few months for the Chicago Bears organization and its fan base. Bears fans could be forgiven for thinking that the main media players have largely ignored the Bears in recent years. But for a team and organization that in the last four years has not won more than 6…
The Inside The Pylon team has released our 2018 Draft Guide, rating and stacking over 550 prospects to find our group of 185 top guys. Like parents, scouts aren’t supposed to have “favorites” – but let’s face it, in the course of all that tape work, we enjoy watching some guys more than others. Below…
The ushering of a new era in Giants football has commenced and Dave Gettleman wasted little time, as Big Blue looks to reshape its image and bounce back from the dreadful 3-13 campaign that marked an agonizing end to the Jerry Reese tenure. Who would have thought a year ago that the Giants would have…
As the calendar turns to the month of April, the rumors and smokescreens about the upcoming NFL Draft intensify. Is Sam Darnold still a lock to go #1? Will Minkah Fitzpatrick actually fall out of the top 10? What will the New York Giants do at #2? The answer to the 3rd question may be…
Sam Darnold all but cemented himself as the number one overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft amidst pouring conditions at his pro day in usually sunny Southern California. I’m not much of a believer in Combine or pro day successes or failures having much of an impact in the decision making process for teams.…
I’ve long been fascinated by offensive drives. I would dedicate entire pieces to a single drive and I even wrote a book filled with nothing but drives. I was sitting in the barber’s chair the other morning (shoutout to my man John at Brookville Barber Shop) brainstorming ideas for a piece on this quarterback class…
Pre-Combine Quarterback Thoughts The 2018 NFL Scouting Combine is just around the corner, a time when the professional football world descends upon Indianapolis to pursue dreams and consume St. Elmo’s Cocktail Sauce by the gallon. For many positions, the testing drills can result in dramatically improved draft stock, just ask Byron Jones or John Ross.…
What was once thought of as a championship team was nothing more than a figment of our imagination, as we watched the 2017 Giants crumble from the North, South, East, and West. Alas, Week 17 couldn’t arrive soon enough and us Giants fans went right into full draft mode, as an uncommon reality materialized into…
Part 1: The Day One Selections There comes a time in every person’s life when they have to push all their chips to the center of the table. When they have to just go all in, and lay everything bare for the world to see. Perhaps that comes when a person proposes marriage, and asks…
There have been interesting discussions lately about how teams in need of a quarterback should go about improving the position this offseason. Whether it’s through free agency, the draft or both – all options come with caveats. Depending on your team’s organizational philosophy there will be different ways decision makers go about filling the need…
The season is officially over! However, with that comes the worst/longest 5 weeks for a football fan. Now, all there is until the 2018 league year starts on March 14th is complete speculation of what each team will do in the next couple months in Free Agency and the NFL Draft. So to join in…
The 2017 NFL trade deadline was surprisingly full of excitement this season. There were many high impact trades affecting teams both trying to win now and those preparing for the long term. However, I want to mainly focus on the quarterback movement, or almost quarterback movement in the case of A.J. McCarron, and how we…
Mark Schofield does not sleep much. Between two young children, a cat that always needs food, and the burning desire to watch more quarterback film, he’s usually awake. But that lifestyle has paid off, as he emerged from his film cave near the end of the summer with a list of 40 quarterbacks to watch…
