Mailbag: How the 2011 draft provides lessons for 2015

Do you have a query for John Clayton? Click here to send a note to his mailbag. Twelve of the top 16 players in the 2011 draft have been to the Pro Bowl. It was loaded on defense, with J.J. Watt and Robert Quinn at end, Marcell Dareus at tackle, linebackers Von Miller, Aldon Smith […]

Six years later, Texas still waiting on QB1

As he likes to put it: “When that room is right, the whole team is right.” But nothing is ever simple at a behemoth like Texas. What Watson inherited when he agreed to join Charlie Strong in Austin was easily the most mismanaged position group in college football. That problem dates all the way back […]

Swami Sez: Chris Berman’s Week 5 NFL picks

Season record: 18-4 ATS (last week: 4-1) Cincinnati Bengals at Dallas Cowboys There’s a lot of excitement in Dallas, starting with the Texas Rangers in the playoffs, the annual Texas-Oklahoma game in college football and culminating in the Cowboys’ home game Sunday. Each week, this Dallas team seems to improve, and Ezekiel Elliott and this […]

How did the Eagles, Cowboys, Giants improve so much in 2022?

It hasn’t even been two years since the NFC East was the laughingstock of the NFL. During the final game of the 2020 regular season, a fading 4-10-1 Philadelphia team benched quarterback Jalen Hurts in the middle of a game in which he had a 25.4 passer rating against 6-9 Washington, which was guaranteed a […]

Texas-Alabama: What if Colt McCoy doesn’t get hurt in the 2010 national championship game?

What if? It’s the most powerful two-word question there has ever been. We ask it about our own lives and world history. As in “What if Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s car hadn’t stopped in front of that Sarajevo café in 1914?” or “What if I had married my high school sweetheart instead of this weirdo sitting […]

Betting the NFL draft: Tips, tricks and best practices to cash in

Please pay particular attention to the third word in that previous sentence, because I didn’t say you can “bet” the NFL draft — just about anybody can do that. I said you can “beat” the NFL draft, as in make money wagering on the National Football League’s annual job fair. This is no doubt an […]

Evan Neal: Would be ‘special’ to be Alabama Crimson Tide’s first No. 1 overall NFL draft pick in 74 years

INDIANAPOLIS — Alabama has had nearly 400 NFL draft picks and only one of them has done what former Crimson Tide left tackle Evan Neal has a chance to do next month: Go first overall. Neal is among a handful of prospects — including NC State left tackle Ikem “Ickey” Ekwonu, Michigan edge rusher Aidan […]

Jaguars DE Aaron Lynch, 27, says he is retiring for personal reasons

The 27-year-old is the sixth defensive lineman to either opt out, go on injured reserve or retire since July 31. Lynch’s retirement comes one day after veteran end/tackle Rodney Gunter said he was stepping away from the game because of a heart problem. “The one thing I think I’ve learned over the history of this […]

Ranking NFL teams with the worst offseasons: Barnwell on the Texans, Patriots, Packers, more

With the NFL universe on pause, now seems like a good time to continue our big-picture look into how each organization did during the player-acquisition period of the offseason. Over the next four days, I’m going to run through all 32 teams and rank the work they did from worst to first. To measure how […]

2020 NFL Mock Draft with all trades: 32 picks, 32 trades from Bill Barnwell

I love a good NFL mock draft, but there’s one problem with everyone’s favorite April exercise: The vast majority of mock drafts don’t feature trades, and in the modern NFL, trades are a must. Of last year’s 32 first-round picks, only 20 were made by the original team holding the selection. One pick — the […]
