How often do the first through the sixth quarterback drafted become a success? Let’s look at history.

When a quarterback is drafted, particularly in the top half of the first round, the team that is drafting them wants them to become a long-term starter. This happens much less frequently than most teams would like. It is not uncommon for the first second and/or third quarterback drafted to be “failures”.

See the table below in my tweet.

Most NFL fans can quickly look at the table above and call “success” or “failure” and just about every pick shown above. There are...

Kansas City has been to six consecutive AFC Championship Games during a stretch that includes three Super Bowl titles and four Super Bowl appearances and seems ready to make another run.

It won’t be easy,...

The NFL story can’t be told without the contributions of Joe Collier.

Broncos Country and the Denver Broncos organization lost a legend yesterday as we got news of Joe Collier passing away at the age of 91.

Joe is a coach that I spent a good amount of time reading up on early in my career here at milehighreport.com to understand the 3-4 defense better. I remember a deep sense of pride that a coach from our team revolutionized the NFL by thinking outside the box. Honestly, he did what all great coaches do: put the best players on the...

Raiders got an ‘upside’ prospect in 4th round

The fourth round of the NFL Draft is typically when a lot of teams start looking for ‘upside’ or potential in prospects. That’s likely a big reason why the Las Vegas Raiders used the 113th overall selection on Mississippi State cornerback Deacmerion Richardson.

Richardson stands at a little over 6-foot-2 with good arm length for the position — 32⅜” which is in the 81st percentile, according to MockDraftable. Also, he put up some impressive numbers at the NFL Combine, highlighted by a 4.34-second 40-yard dash and a 10’8” broad jump, to earn...

8:16 p.m.: A few more new numbers. Tre’von Moehrig, Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah are all going back to their college numbers.

8:14 p.m.: Raiders make a change in the front office as Director of Scouting Development Keith Kidd appears to have been let go after getting removed from the team’s website. When a new general manager/regime comes in, it’s typical for the previous scouting staff to stay on board and let get let go after the...

This is the second off-the-field incident tied to the Chiefs receiver this offseason.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is under investigation for a new incident, according to WFAA in Dallas. Rice is alleged to have assaulted a photographer early Monday morning at 609 N. Harwood Street, which is the address of “Lit Kitchen.”

As is well known by now, Rice had already been dealing with eight charges stemming from his connection to a six-vehicle accident — also in Dallas — that occurred in late March. The charges from that incident ranged from collision involving bodily injury to aggravated...

The Las Vegas Raiders have added to their offensive line this offseason by signing former Chicago longtime starting guard Cody Whitehair and adding Oregon’s Jackson Powers-Johnson in the second round of the draft and Maryland tackle Delmar Glaze.

Then, they went to the offensive-line well again Monday by signing former New Orleans Saints starter Andrus Peat.

Let’s take a look where the position stands now:

Villanova’s Jaaron Hayek spent the weekend in Kansas City — and now he will participate in the offseason program with the Chiefs.

One of this past weekend’s rookie minicamp tryout players has made it to the Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason roster. The club has signed tryout wide receiver Jaaron Hayek, according to his post on social media.

Hayek, 22, spent the last five seasons as a member of Villanova’s football team. As mentioned, the 6-foot-1, 199-pound wide receiver attended the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp, where he impressed the team’s personnel staff to earn his place on the 90-man roster.

Hayek finished...

Air Force head coach speaks highly of rookie safety

Like most late-round draft picks who will be trying to make 53-man rosters, Las Vegas Raiders rookie Trey Taylor will be challenged during training camp this summer.

Yet, his college coach has no doubt that Taylor, who the Raiders selected in the seventh round after he won the Jim Thorpe Award (which goes to the nation’s best defensive back) will be mentally prepared for the NFL game.

“He is very poised and he is not going to have any problems (adjusting to the mental aspect of the NFL),” Air Force...

The Denver Broncos may have reached for quarterback Bo Nix in the first round, but after that, Troy Franklin kicked off a run of draft day steals for the orange and blue.

Sean Payton was desperate to find a quarterback, and Nix was their man at No. 12 overall. Outside of Michael Penix being drafted at No. 8, Nix was the biggest reach of the selection process.

After Payton and George Paton addressed that glaring need at QB though, they assembled a dynamic Day 3 of the draft.

Troy Franklin, Nix’s college teammate, was the biggest steal of the...
