Also, are the Broncos a sneaky playoff team after several defensive additions, specifically to their secondary? The Pick Six Superfriends also analy...

The busiest portion of free agency is over and we have plenty of new faces in new places. With that comes an altered draft outlook for several teams and for our draft expert Ryan Wilson. This is the 6th Mock Draft Monday for us and looks different from any other. How did free agency impact the top? Well for one, the Giants probably won't be targeting a WR at #11 after inking Kenny Golladay to a 4-...

Free agency has essentially hit the NFL. Sure we may be in the "legal tampering" period, but deals are still getting done so we bring in the Pick Six Superfriends for their reactions.

The Bucs continue...
