The Oklahoma football program didn’t have to wait long during the NFL’s annual first-year player draft to have a representative join the professional ranks. With the 29th overall pick in the first round, the Dallas Cowboys made a significant move by selecting Sooners star offensive lineman Tyler Guyton. The six-foot-eight Guyton, a standout from Oklahoma, will be a valuable addition to a Dallas offensive line that will protect franchise quarterback Dak Prescott. However, only two more former Oklahoma football players heard their names called after Guyton during this year’s NFL draft, lineman Jonah Laulu and Walter Rouse.  One notable absence,…

The Las Vegas Raiders, demonstrating their strategic prowess, refrained from selecting a quarterback from the deep 2024 NFL draft class with their eight picks this weekend. Instead, they bolstered their roster with Pro Bowl quarterback Gardner Minshew, released last year’s starter, Jimmy Garoppolo, and retained Aidan O’Connell, who showed promise in 2023. Undeterred by their offseason moves, the Raiders swiftly secured an undrafted free-agent quarterback after the league draft. According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the Raiders have added former South Alabama Jaguars gunslinger Carter Bradley, the son of longtime NFL coach Gus Bradley, to their team as a UDFA.…

The Dallas Cowboys house one of the best offensive units in the NFL. Although often criticized for shrinking in big moments, including owning just one playoff win over three straight 12-win seasons, Dallas and quarterback Dak Prescott have posted monster numbers during the Mike McCarthy era. Outside his inaugural season in 2020, the Cowboys have led the NFL in scoring per game twice, including registering a league-best 29.9 points per game in 2023. The NFC East club scored at least 30 points in more than half of their regular season games despite ranking 20th in rushing yards per attempt.  The…

On Saturday, the third day of the 2024 NFL Draft, former Florida State football star quarterback Jordan Travis finally entered the professional ranks. With the 171st pick, The New York Jets swooped in on Travis, making him the first quarterback taken via the draft since trading for four-time MVP signal-caller Aaron Rodgers in 2023.  Earlier this offseason, the New York Jets decided to part ways with former first-round pick and quarterback Zach Wilson, trading him to the Denver Broncos for a swap of late-round selections in the 2025 NFL draft. With New York all but admitting the Wilson experiment failed miserably,…

The Carolina Panthers, under a new regime, are ready to make life easier for former first-overall pick and quarterback Bryce Young. On Thursday, during the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, new president of football operations Dan Morgan opted to trade into the first round, landing former South Carolina wideout Xavier Legette. On Thursday, Carolina burned another high-valued pick on top-ranked running back Jonathan Brooks. The offensively focused draft continued on Saturday, with the Panthers wasting no time snagging one of the most athletic tight ends on the board. With the first pick of the third round, the NFC…

After two trade downs and seven wide receivers going off the board, the Buffalo Bills have finally added a young wideout for quarterback Josh Allen. On Friday, with the first pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft, Buffalo snagged former Florida State football star and pass-catcher Keon Coleman. The Bills brought on Coleman after the receiver duo of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis departed this offseason.  Bills faithful became anxious with the team after the organization traded down twice in the first round. Owning the 28th selection, the AFC East squad traded with the Kansas City Chiefs…

After going defensive in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft on Thursday, the Indianapolis Colts prioritized offense on Friday, going wide receiver with their second-round selection. On Friday, with the 52nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, Indianapolis selected former Texas football star wide receiver Adonai Mitchell. The Texas product becomes the fourth receiver taken during day two of the draft and the 11th overall, continuing an unprecedented run of offensive talent in this year’s draft. On Thursday, the Colts beefed up their defense, selecting former UCLA Bruins defensive end Laiatu Latu. The Colts became the first…

The 2024 NFL Draft got underway last night, with the first round commencing in Detroit, Michigan, for the first time in league history. A record six quarterbacks went in the top twelve picks, including the Atlanta Falcons shocking millions with the addition of former Washington Huskies signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick despite signing fellow passer Kirk Cousins to a massive deal this offseason.

The NFL world is relishing in the peak of its offseason, the weekend of the annual league draft. The 2024 NFL Draft kicked off on Thursday, with the Chicago Bears securing the 2022 Heisman Trophy Winner and former USC Trojans gunslinger Caleb Williams as the first pick. The draft started with minimal shock until the Atlanta Falcons, despite signing quarterback Kirk Cousins to a hefty deal in the offseason, chose former Washington Huskies signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick. Following the unexpected selection of Penix, the first round of the 2024 NFL draft was filled with surprises,…

After another season of the Buffalo Bills falling short of fulfilling their Super Bowl aspirations, the AFC East club gutted its wide receiver core. Star wideout Stefon Diggs got dealt to the Houston Texans for a second-round selection in the 2025 NFL draft. Meanwhile, fellow pass-catcher Gabe Davis inked a three-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, leaving Buffalo’s group of pass-catchers short-handed (no pun intended) heading into next fall. Rumors circulated that the Bills could pick a wide receiver in Thursday’s first round of the 2024 NFL draft. However, in a pair of shocking moves regarding their late first-round selection,…
