This is going to be a long, painful year for Zach Wilson.
Scouting Report. Atlanta Falcons. 30. 0-2. LW: 30. player. 44. Pick Analysis
Atlanta’s defense remains a mess, and so does Matt Ryan.
Pick Analysis. Detroit Lions. 29. 50. Scouting Report. 0-2. LW: 29. player
The Lions are fighting, but the talent level is an obvious problem.
Scouting Report. 1-1. Houston Texans. player. Pick Analysis. LW: 28. 28. 10
Houston fought hard, but Tyrod Taylor’s injury sunk them in Cleveland.
31. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. New York Giants. player. 0-2. LW: 27. 27
Has Joe Judge figured out what’s going on yet? Yikes.
Pick Analysis. 1-1. LW: 26. Cincinnati Bengals. 26. Scouting Report. player. 56
The Bengals are going to be frisky all year, but that roster has ample holes.
Scouting Report. 1-1. Philadelphia Eagles. player. 54. Pick Analysis. LW: 24. 25
Losing Brandon Graham is a far bigger blow than losing to the 49ers.
Indianapolis Colts. 46. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 24. player. 0-2. LW: 21
Two games, two home losses, and now Carson Wentz is injured (again).
23. 0-2. LW: 20. Minnesota Vikings. player. 60. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
No team has worse luck than the Vikings. Could easily be 2-0, but here we are.
22. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-1. LW: 25. Chicago Bears. 57
Justin Fields wasn’t good on Sunday, but he should stay in the lineup. Let him learn.
Washington Football Team. 21. 58. Scouting Report. 1-1. LW: 23. Pick Analysis. player
Washington’s defense has surprisingly not been good, but the Giants bailed them out.
Pick Analysis. player. Scouting Report. 1-1. LW: 14. Miami Dolphins. 20. 59
The offense is a mess, and the quarterback play is atrocious.
LW: 13. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-1. New Orleans Saints. 19. player. 15
Jameis Winston was back to being Jameis Winston on Sunday.
Carolina Panthers. 18. player. Scouting Report. LW: 22. 87. Pick Analysis. 2-0
Carolina has been impressive thus far and with Houston on deck, should get to 3-0.
1-1. LW: 18. Dallas Cowboys. player. 123. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 17
The Cowboys did everything to lose, but somehow found a way to beat the Chargers.
Scouting Report. 16. player. 47. Pick Analysis. 1-1. LW: 16. New England Patriots
Mac Jones’ deep ball is about eight yards in this offense, but the defense will win games.
Scouting Report. 15. 45. Denver Broncos. player. Pick Analysis. 2-0. LW: 17
No clue what Denver is, and with the Jets coming into town, we won’t find out for awhile.
LW: 15. player. 35. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-1. Tennessee Titans. 14
No defense, explosive offense. Basically, the 2020 Titans.

No offense, great defense. Basically, the 2020 Steelers.
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-1. 12. 13. LW: 9. Los Angeles Chargers. player
Can’t lose that game to the Cowboys. Justin Herbert and Co. gave one away.

The NFL’s surprise team? The Raiders are rolling behind Derek Carr and a revamped defense.
Scouting Report. LW: 11. 10. player. 32. Pick Analysis. 2-0. Arizona Cardinals
The Cards are really lucky to have escaped, but Kyler Murray looks great.
LW: 12. Baltimore Ravens. 9. 26. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-1. player
Biggest win of the year by any team. Lamar Jackson was great, providing a great victory over KC.
LW: 8. 8. 49. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-1. Green Bay Packers. player

The Niners beat two bad teams so far. This week? A Sunday night showdown with the Packers.
Scouting Report. 1-1. Pick Analysis. LW: 6. Cleveland Browns. 6. player. 53
Chicago comes to town next, so the Browns should climb over the .500. mark.
36. 1-1. Seattle Seahawks. 5. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. LW: 3
Brutal way to lose. The Seahawks have to be sick after blowing a 24-9 lead.
LW: 5. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Buffalo Bills. 4. player. 16. 1-1
It’s weird to be concerned after a 35-0 win, but Josh Allen hasn’t played well at all.
3. Pick Analysis. 1-1. LW: 2. Kansas City Chiefs. player. 124. Scouting Report
The Chiefs slip one spot. Losing in Baltimore is no sin, but the defense stinks right now.
LW: 4. 2. 51. Scouting Report. 2-0. Los Angeles Rams. player. Pick Analysis
The Rams took care of the Colts, and now host the Buccaneers in an NFC showdown.
Pick Analysis. 2-0. player. 48. Scouting Report. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 1. LW: 1
After two home wins and nine Tom Brady touchdown passes, the Bucs visit the Rams.
