Drew Brees' comments about peaceful protests created a national controversy, and there's a lot to unpack. John Breech, Ryan Wilson, Sean Wagner-McGough and I each give our own unique perspective of it all (Breech says the biggest surprise is how out of touch Brees is with the Saints' own locker room) and Jason La Canfora points out exactly why the QB's apology missed the mark, as well as what he needs to do next.
Kyler Murray and Nick Bosa have already broken out, but there are a lot of players from the 2019 draft class who either didn't get the opportunity or weren't quite ready. Josh Edwards identified 11 on each side of the ball who are set to make the leap in their sophomore season, including Miles Sanders and two talented TEs.
The Cowboys have a brand new coach, and with Mike McCarthy came a swift change to their usual ho-hum offseason approach. Patrik Walker says it's a good start, but there are still three more steps that must be made for Dallas to soar toward a sixth Lombardi; these two defensive signings might just do the trick.
Our Franchise Five series is humming along toward Week 2, which means it's time to check in on a team that had a few very obvious selections, and others that weren't so easy. Sean Wagner-McGough didn't have to agonize too long about the Seahawks all-time greatest QB and coach, but which Legion of Boom defender deserves a spot most?
It wasn't that long ago when the Eagles were in the Super Bowl, and now they've added speed at WR as well as on D. That still may not be enough to get back to the big game, though. Jeff Kerr says Philly must also make three more moves; they should start by noting that two Pro Bowl defensive ends are available.
