2024 NFL Draft interview: Clemson DL Tyler Davis

2024 NFL Draft interview: Clemson DL Tyler Davis

WCG’s lead draft analyst spoke with one of the top defensive tackles in the 2024 NFL Draft.

After a career which saw him earn three first-team All-ACC nominations, one second-team nomination, a national championship appearance and five years of starting tape, Clemson defensive tackle Tyler Davis has one of the best resumes at his position in the 2024 NFL Draft class.

An athletic nose tackle with proven pass-rushing production and the power needed to stop the run, Davis has been a consistent force on a Tigers defensive line that has seen several of his former teammates move on to the...

Why the Bears can’t wait to draft a wide receiver

Why the Bears can’t wait to draft a wide receiver

Chicago’s offensive rebuild is going well, but the harsh reality is that the job is still incomplete.

At the moment, Chicago’s wide receiver room looks solid. Keenan Allen and DJ Moore provide an excellent pair of targets, and they might combine for 20 targets a game if Allen stays true to form and Moore has a slightly elevated usage rate compared to their last couple of years. Sticking with the same averages, Kmet and Everett should be good for the 8 targets per game that would represent the peak TE usage rate under Shane Waldron’s offenses with the Seattle Seahawks....

2024 NFL Draft: First Round Mock

Bill Zimmerman takes a stab at the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft!

As we continue to look toward the NFL Draft, let’s take a swing at mocking the first round of the NFL Draft. I recently did a 7-round mock draft for the Chicago Bears, so we will change up things a little bit here to try and keep things fresh.

There will definitely be some movement in the top ten picks of the NFL Draft. We’ve heard plenty about the Vikings trying to trade up and the Chargers trying to trade down but don’t be shocked if...

2024 NFL Draft: Top 5 players at each position

WCG’s lead draft analyst shares his top 5 players at each positions in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The 2024 NFL Draft is just one week away, and after a long pre-draft process, rankings for most analysts have finalized.

I love looking at the draft as a year-round process, with my scouting on this year’s underclassmen starting in April of last year. Though most of my tape watching this month has gone towards the 2025 class, I’ve still been making a few minor tweaks to my board. Now, I’ve decided to publish my finalized rankings over a series of articles.

I’ll...

2024 NFL Draft interview: Maryland CB Ja’Quan Sheppard

2024 NFL Draft interview: Maryland CB Ja’Quan Sheppard

WCG’s lead draft analyst spoke with Maryland’s intriguing star cornerback.

With an All-AAC and All-Big Ten nominations, a Hula Bowl invite, a Shrine Bowl invite, and a College Football Playoff appearance, there’s a pretty accomplished resume for Maryland cornerback Ja’Quan Sheppard.

The last two seasons have especially been productive for Sheppard, having tallied 18 pass deflections between his final season at Cincinnati and his lone year at Maryland. As one of the most physical cornerbacks in this year’s class, he figures to be a likely draft pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

This Daniel Jeremiah draft scenario would disappoint Bears fans

This Daniel Jeremiah draft scenario would disappoint Bears fans

Getting Rome Odunze with the No. 9 overall pick would be a dream come true for the Chicago Bears. But draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah thinks at least one team might complicate that dream.

On one hand, thank goodness no one is asking what the Chicago Bears are doing at the quarterback position anymore. Following the trade of Justin Fields and the continued revelations about the rest of this NFL Draft class, all roads lead to the Bears taking Caleb Williams, the clear best quarterback in this year’s draft in this writer’s opinion, with the No. 1 overall pick in the...
