Carolina had a chance to really make a move in the NFC playoff picture but fell flat.

LW: 20. 20. player. Pick Analysis. Cleveland Browns. 53. Scouting Report. 6-5

The Saints are injured and hopeless on offense. Trevor Siemian needs to sit down.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 5-6. Philadelphia Eagles. 17. 54. LW: 21. player

Las Vegas Raiders. player. 28. LW: 12. 5-5. 16. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

The Bills have to figure out their defensive line. No pressure, no push, no chance.

7-3. LW: 9. Baltimore Ravens. player. Pick Analysis. 9. 26. Scouting Report

The Ravens won without Lamar Jackson. No matter how ugly, that’s beautiful.

47. Pick Analysis. 8. player. Scouting Report. 7-4. LW: 10. New England Patriots

The hottest team in the AFC, but are they Super Bowl contenders?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 7. Pick Analysis. 7-3. LW: 8. player. 48. Scouting Report

The Buccaneers finally got off their snide against the Giants. A much-needed win.

LW: 4. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 7-3. 123. Dallas Cowboys. 6

Big opportunity this week to beat a wounded Packers team at Lambeau Field.

No Kyler Murray or DeAndre Hopkins? No problem, says football’s best team.
