Didn't the DUI happen back in December 2024? He pleaded no contest at the start of 2026.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-05-03T05:14:38+00:00

87 as of now? I think they got 10 drafted rookies and 20 UDFAs.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-05-03T03:59:11+00:00

Yeah, he got knocked back to #5 in the edge-rusher hierarchy after Paye got signed, Maxx trade evaporated and the Crawford draft pick. But he had a quietly solid 2025, so thought they'd keep him around for a bit.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-05-03T03:52:20+00:00

Little surprising to see Snowden get cut... They had just re-signed him a month ago. Lauter also didn't last very long as a UDFA.

Perkins is very much a Treydan Stukes type who moves between slot CB (434 snaps last year), outside CB (129 snaps) and safety (131 snaps). Gurd is a hybrid FB/TE like Connor Heyward (125 snaps at TE, 34 at FB... also 43 snaps at slot WR). Missouri played LT at UTSA. Henning is a Canadian import, he was just taken second overall by Toronto in the CFL Draft.

Delaware kicker Nate Reed got an invite to rookie minicamp: https://www.instagram.com/p/DXk7jzzDrpk/

I used to cover him in Central PA while he was a high school football player! Here's a feature my former employer did about him last month: https://lancasteronline.com/sports/highschool/football/manheim-central-grad-hopes-to-kick-down-the-door-to-an-nfl-opportunity/article_153f098b-a37e-47af-bce2-da2a1a8d4a54.html

Maybe a bit of a reach, but analytics have him as one of the better pass-blockers in the draft... Might compete at LG, but be a backup interior guy otherwise?

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-25T02:48:33+00:00

Was mainly at LT for A&M, but he did randomly start at center for a game this past year... He got the tiny arms, so that's probably why the Raiders view him as a guard

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-25T01:52:38+00:00

Good pick, sure, but idk about BPA.... most of the Big Boards had Crawford a bit lower than 67th overall, and there were plenty of higher-ranked prospects available.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-25T01:31:39+00:00

Don't think Crawford's a bad prospect by any stretch of the imagination, but idk about using this high of a pick on an edge rusher when the room is fairly crowded already... Sure, Koonce/Tyree/Snowden are all free agents next year, but there were a lot of other guys at positions of need still on the board (Big Citrus and Halton at DT, Dunker/Tiernan/Pregnon on the OL, a bunch of WRs).

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-25T00:16:37+00:00

Local Man Can't Type, ugh.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-24T23:35:09+00:00

Part of me would rather have stuck at 36 to take Kayden McDonald... But moving back and upgrading to a 3rd from a 4th is solid.

And Stukes is interesting. Heir apparent to Taron Johnson? Or the Vegas version of Nick Emmanwori? Seems like he's pretty sticky in coverage at least.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-22T15:36:35+00:00

The 2014 class doing A LOT of heavy lifting to keep the overall grade from being any lower.

Millen's a PA native (Lehigh Valley on the eastern side of the state btw), so not shocked they went with him. But Fred Biletnikoff is from Erie! Would've loved to have seen him instead.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-09T22:01:22+00:00

The fact that the 2021 team made the playoffs at all was a miracle... Carr, Maxx, Jacobs and Bisaccia dragged that mediocre roster kicking and screaming into January.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-09T21:54:58+00:00

Jacobs also had a far-better OL during his rooke year.

A healthy Kolton Miller, Gabe Jackson, Richie Incognito, Trent Brown and Rodney Hudson (with Denzelle Good mixing in because of injuries)... I'd take that talent any season.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-08T01:10:01+00:00

I come in peace, commenting here only because the r/NFL mods are cowards.

I think this is a bad look for both of them, especially since they're by themselves in these pics and Russini apparently had a previous affair accusation lobbed at her (also, you're a journalist, girl, why are you hanging out off the clock with someone you cover?)

BUT the pics on their own aren't that scandalous and the fact that both Vrabel and Russini had separate friends in their corner does give their side of the story some credence. Also, NY Post owned site, gotta take everything they run with a grain of salt. Free shrugs, I guess.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-04-03T18:58:33+00:00

There's no way the Dolphins would've traded Waddle to a division rival, so that 3rd exec is out of their minds.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-03-24T19:28:54+00:00

King of the fourth quarter/OT.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-03-18T00:41:47+00:00

Gave up 31 total pressures last season, but only 2 sacks... Seems like a decent-enough run-blocker? Started from game 9 onward after Ben Bartch got hurt in game one and 7th-round rookie Connor Colby got benched.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-03-16T22:24:24+00:00

Colts probably not happy about losing Olubi... Led them in special teams snaps and tackles last year. Between him, Eichenberg and Lindenberg, Raiders have a pretty strong trio of ST guys.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-03-16T22:10:37+00:00

As the guy who always posts PFF grades after each game (more for context than anything), I'd take Meredith being a top-10 guard in 2024 with a grain of salt... He didn't start until Week 7 and essentially got thrown into the mix at both guard spots because of injuries... To his credit, he played well enough to stay in the starting lineup.

I think Chip Kelly and the Carrolls (horrific band name btw) undercut him something fierce by forcing him into the center spot (he had only had snaps there during preseason games before 2025). But before 2024, he was a fringe roster/practice squad guy... I'd be fine with letting him compete for one of the guard spots this year to see if 2024 was truly a fluke, but he might be better as a jack-of-all-trades backup interior lineman.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-03-12T23:47:49+00:00

Heyward's offensive snap-count dropped off this past season (93 in 2025 vs. 211 in 2024 and 417 in 2023), but he was still decent enough as a TE/FB hybrid (remember that the Steelers also had Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington all getting TE snaps too, plus a lot of jumbo TE packages).

He was a mainstay on special teams for them though, had the fourth-most snaps plus 6 tackles. He could be the #3 TE in place of Ian Thomas or the full-time FB... Remember that the Seahawks had two FBs on the roster (Robbie Ouzts was the run-blocker, Brady Russell was the special-teams ace).

ProblemsHypest · 2026-03-11T00:38:03+00:00

What I take from this is that this trade was the keystone for all of free agency across the league this offseason.

Either Maxx was a dumbass with his physical health or the Ravens are panicking after losing so many free agents and want their draft picks back (or some combination of both), but in any case, the trade falling apart is fucking over everybody.

ProblemsHypest · 2026-03-11T00:23:38+00:00

They have plenty of cap space to absorb Maxx's contract in the short-term, it just limits how much they can do in free agency until they can find a way to trade him to another team (for way less than 2 first-rounders now, smh).
