  • NFL Draft 2019 Grades: Evaluating the Broncos and Every Other Team’S Picks by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post April 29, 2019
    NFL draft 2019 grades: Evaluating the Broncos and every other team’s picks By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post April 29, 2019 A team-by-team recap of this weekend’s NFL draft: NFC Arizona Cardinals A — The Cardinals selected immediate starters/contributors with their first five picks: QB Kyler Murray, CB Byron Murphy, WR Andy Isabella, DE Zach Allen and WR Hakeem Butler. With play-caller/coach Kliff Kingsbury, the Cardinals may not be successful, but they’ll be interesting. Atlanta Falcons C-plus — The Falcons ignored cornerback until round 5 (Jordan Miller). First-rounders Chris Lindstrom (No. 14) and Kaleb McGary (No. 31 after a trade-up) will start at right guard and right tackle, respectively. Carolina Panthers B — Liked what the Panthers did early. DE Brian Burns will team with veteran Bruce Irvin to replace Julius Peppers. LT Greg Little will get a chance to beat out 2017 second-round pick Taylor Moton and QB Will Grier could stop the revolving back-up spot. Chicago Bears D — If you factor in the Khalil Mack trade (which costs them a first-round pick), the grade would be different. But the Bears had only five picks (one in the first 125). RB David Montgomery (round 3) will back up Mike Davis. Dallas Cowboys C — No first-round pick because of the Amari Cooper trade. The Cowboys had nine picks, but only two in the top 116. They chose two defensive ends (Joe Jackson and Jalen Jelks) and running backs (Tony Pollard and Mike Weber) apiece. Detroit Lions C-minus— Tough to be fired up about anything the Lions did after tight end T.J.

  • Hardship, Then Hope Tell the Story of Arizona State QB Manny Wilkins
    Hardship, then hope tell the story of Arizona State QB Manny Wilkins By Bruce Feldman/The Athletic/June 26, 2018 REDONDO BEACH, Calif. — The starting quarterback at Arizona State is in law school, which in itself is remarkable given the hours that college QBs devote to trying to run their teams and dissect each week’s opponent. He’s also on his fourth offensive coordinator, and that number feels noteworthy, too. Before he arrived in Tempe, he lived in Minnesota, Las Vegas, Colorado, Texas and a bunch of places in California. Stability is relative. Actually, everything is relative. Among the eight college counselors working the Elite 11 Finals this month in Southern California, two were seniors being touted as future NFL first-round picks — Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham and Missouri’s Drew Lock. Five others are the front men of teams with top 10 promise — Alabama's Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa, Penn State’s Trace McSorley, West Virginia’s Will Grier and UCF’s McKenzie Milton. The other was a guy who’s battled through a bunch of injuries and been on teams the past three seasons that are a combined two games under .500. But when Manny Wilkins Jr. tells his story of how he got here, what it all means to him and why it matters, it is clear he matters and belongs as much as any of his peers here. Let’s start with the toughest thing he’s had to overcome. Wilkins’ father died from a drug overdose when Manny was 10. Manny Wilkins Sr.
