  • AFC Edition,Der NFL Draft 2018 Im Review –
    Der NFL Draft 2018 im Review – AFC Edition Teil 2 der Draft Analyse. Diesmal geht es mit der AFC weiter. Auch wenn in einigen Fällen durchaus etwas wie eine Draft Bewertung heraus scheinen kann: was es hier definitiv nicht gibt, sind Noten oder ähnliches. Diese könnten zum gegebenen Zeitpunkt auch ausschließlich „incomplete“ lauten. Zur NFC Draft Analyse >>> AFC East Buffalo Bills 1 (7) Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming 1 (16) Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech 3 (96) Harrison Phillips, DT, Stanford 4 (121) Taron Johnson, CB, Weber State 5 (154) Siran Neal, S, Jacksonville State 5 (166) Wyatt Teller, G, Virginia Tech 6 (187) Ray-Ray McCloud, WR, Clemson 7 (255) Austin Proehl, WR, UNC Risiko-Pick: Allen. Dieser ist nicht nur am wenigsten NFL-ready im Vergleich zu den anderen QBs aus den Top 10, es ist auch bei weitem nicht sicher, dass er sich langfristig in der Liga durchsetzen kann. Vor allem die schon im College niedrige Completion Rate gibt hier Anlass zu Bedenken. Als positiv sollte man allerdings herausstreichen, dass der für Allen notwendige Uptrade vergleichsweise günstig war. Sicherer Pick: Harrison Phillips ist der Typ DT, der vielleicht selten bis nie in der Pro-Bowl-Diskussion auftauchen wird, der aber dennoch das Zeug hat, als kongenialer Nachfolger von Kyle Williams jahrelang die Mitte der Line dichtzumachen. Immediate Impact: Sowohl Edmunds als auch Teller treffen auf wenig Konkurrenz auf ihrer jeweiligen Position und könnten schon im September als Starter auflaufen. Miami Dolphins 1 (11) Minkah Fitzpatrick, S, Alabama 2 (42) Mike Gesicki, TE, Penn State 3 (73) Jerome Baker, LB, Ohio State 4 (123) Durham Smythe, TE, Notre Dame 4 (131) Kalen Ballage, RB, Arizona State 6 (209) Cornell Armstrong, CB, Southern Miss 7 (227) Quentin Poling, LB, Ohio 7 (229) Jason Sanders, K, New Mexico Value meets need: Als Folge der vielen QB-picks in den Top 10 waren die Dolphins in der Lage zu warten, welcher Topspieler an #11 zum Aufsammeln bereit liegt.

  • NFL Roster Cuts –
    7 bekannte NFL Spieler, die in den nächsten Tagen ihren Job verlieren könnten In der nächsten Woche wird es einen Massenexodus von Spielern geben, da die NFL Teams ihren Roster auf 53 Spieler reduzieren müssen. Die Teams müssen ihr Personal bis Dienstag auf 85 Spieler reduzieren, bevor sie ihren Roster am 31. August endgültig festlegen. In einem knallharten Geschäft wie der NFL spielen frühere Leistungen keine Rolle, so dass zahlreiche bewährte Spieler Gefahr laufen, entlassen zu werden. 7 Spieler, die entlassen werden könnten: Devonta Freeman, RB, Saints Freeman hat seine besten Jahre offensichtlich schon lange hinter sich, aber die Saints haben sich in dieser Saison für ihn entschieden, obwohl sie bereits Alvin Kamara und Latavius Murray in ihren Reihen haben. Nun sieht es so aus, als ob Freemans Aufenthalt in New Orleans nur kurz sein wird. Die Leistungen des 29-Jährigen in der Preseason haben seinen Abwärtstrend nur fortgesetzt. Sechs Carries für sechs Yards in Spiel 1 sind einfach zu wenig. Außerdem hat Running Back Tony Jones Jr. mit 82 Yards bei sieben Versuchen in der vergangenen Woche eine starke Leistung gezeigt. Ryan Griffin, QB, Buccaneers Griffin ist seit 2015 in Tampa Bay zu Hause. Allerdings könnte er bald auf der Suche nach einem neuen Team sein. Der 31-Jährige wäre wahrscheinlich weiterhin als dritter Quarterback der Buccaneers geblieben, wenn diese nicht in der zweiten Runde den Quarterback Kyle Trask aus Florida verpflichtet hätten. Da hinter Tom Brady und Blaine Gabbert ein junger Kandidat in den Startlöchern steht, gibt es keinen Platz mehr für Griffin. Sony Michel, RB, Patriots Michel hat nach drei Jahren in der Liga mehr als genug Erfahrung.
