I don't take many victory laps. But allow me one.
@Sharp_Rank tracked 320 media members making NFL picks for the whole season. I finished 1st.
According to @tallysight, I finished 1st of 365 in the regular season, then 2nd of 224 for just the playoffs.
It was a good season.
Maybe we'll look back and understand that the inactivity of the Rams and Lions was the prudent move. But they were the two NFC contenders who watched everyone else around them get better. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article…

. @Eric_Edholm and @YahooSchwab give their NFL trade deadline grades after it’s all said and done ✍️
What was the best trade of them all? 🅰️
Full breakdown: yhoo.it/4C0x94Y
I'll just say this: With Mendoza starting right away, or so it seems, he still can win OROY. Nobody has built an impressive case for it, and now the first pick QB gets half a season of starts (almost worked for Shough a year ago)

Oh my.
The Colts won’t trade star RB Jonathan Taylor by today’s deadline, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more for Taylor. But the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer to even consider it. Instead, Taylor stays in Indy.

When did the Raiders become sharp? Because the way they played the Cousins situation was brilliant. He was starting what, two more games?
The Kirk Cousins signing was a master stroke by Raiders GM John Spytek:
The Raiders paid Cousins a total of $650,000
They got:
- 9 games of rock solid QB play
- 6+ months for #1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to learn the system and be mentored by Cousins
- A 2027 3rd round pick

Reasonable trade for the Vikings. And the Raiders played the Kirk Cousins situation perfectly. Feels like a win for both sides (but more for the Raiders). sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article…
Nor should they. Don't pull a Vikings with JJ McCarthy or a Patriots with Boutte. Injuries and situations happen.
Report: Jaguars don't plan to trade WR Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of deadline

Are the Jaguars the best team in the NFL over the 49ers and Bills heading to Week 10? 👀

Been wanting to push the Jaguars as high as I could in the NFL Power Rankings for a few weeks. Well, Monday gave me the reason to push them all the way to the top of the list. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article…

The 49ers and Bills and all other top contenders didn't do anything wrong in Week 9. But the combination of strong, complete play from the Jaguars all season and the moves they made on Monday ... well, there's a new No. 1 in the NFL Power Rankings. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article…

That was horrific for Carson Wentz. What do the Vikings do now? I know everyone will wishcast a QB trade like Kirk Cousins, but that's not always easy or even available. Minnesota is 6-2 and seems like it's in shambles after the loss to the Bills sports.yahoo.com/nfl/live/bi…
Yeah, this might be the worst quarterback performance I've ever seen. Nathan Peterman, Josh Freeman level. Just absolutely atrocious.
This is slowly entering Josh Freeman on MNF vs. the Giants territory. And that's not a realm you wish to enter.
