Grading Every NFL Team’s Free-Agency Performance

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

Peak free agency for the NFL’s 99th offseason is over, and more than 200 players signed contracts with a combined value of $2.4 billion in the last nine days.

More moves are coming, and they’ll matter, authentic nike nfl jersey but those transactions will be part of a second wave that doesn’t shape rosters as much as those in the early stages of free agency.

With that in mind, it’s time to issue report cards on the free-agency performance of every NFL team with the following grade scale:fd1c5c1a36050df564b4f9877d47a566_crop_exact

A+: It was pretty much perfect.cheap nike authentic nfl jerseys

A: The good drastically outweighed the bad.

B: The good slightly outweighed the bad.

C: The bad slightly outweighed the good.

D: The bad drastically outweighed the good.authentic nike nfl jerseys wholesale

F: Anything that could go wrong did go wrong.new nike authentic nfl jerseys

Here’s how the class fared.

What they needed to do

Still rebuilding after a roster overhaul and a three-win season, the Arizona Cardinals had one job: Add as much support as possible for young quarterback Josh Rosen authentic nike nfl jerseys china (or Kyler Murray, if they go that route). Arizona can afford to build up its defense through the draft, but the offense needs experience and proven talent. The offensive line was a bloody mess last season.

What they did right

The Cardinals acquired solid and reasonably priced offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they added depth at guard by signing veteran J.R. Sweezy.

Where they went wrong nfl authentic jerseys nike

They focused far too much on defense. The contract they gave linebacker Jordan Hicks isn’t bad, but that $8.5 million average annual salary could have gone to a stronger guard like Rodger Saffold or Billy Turner. Why spend even a dime on 36-year-old Terrell Suggs? And they’re inexplicably giving cornerback Robert Alford $7.5 million authentic nike nfl jerseys for sale a year on the wrong side of 30. New pass-catchers Charles Clay and Kevin White aren’t likely to do much to help Rosen or Murray either. It’s unclear what general manager Steve Keim is thinking.authentic nike nfl jerseys stitched

What they should do now

The rub with using a first-round pick on Murray is you’d better get a first-rounder back for Rosen. If not, you’re setting Murray up to fail immediately. The Cardinals have to use a first-round pick on a receiver, tight end or offensive lineman who can make an impact right off the bat.

Trent Brown, LT, Oakland Raiders

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

The Jon Gruden era has certainly led to some interesting kids nfl football jerseys cheap results thus far.

After moving a solid left tackle in Donald Penn across the line to open a spot for first-round reach Kolton Miller, he quickly abandoned the idea of Miller playing on the left when he signed Trent Brown to the richest offensive lineman deal in NFL history. The signing means Brandon Parker—a third-round pick in 2018—will become a backup after starting 12 games during his rookie season.

Brown benefitted from playing with Tom Brady nfl jerseys kids and working with an elite offensive line coach in Dante Scarnecchia, but he’s an upgrade for the Raiders.hi-res-ca346bfba7f8ab87d4b0055541f1e24a_crop_exact

The massive tackle was ranked 44th overall by Pro Football Focus on throws over 2.6 seconds. Parker and Miller were ranked 72nd and 74th, respectively, among the 74 qualified players. While that doesn’t seem to justify the price tag, Oakland needed help at the position, and Brown was the best available.nfl jersey kids

The painstaking process of developing young blockers clearly impeded Gruden’s ability to build a quality offense last year. He deserves credit for identifying his error and fixing it, and coming away with Brown will help the Raiders’ short-term outlook.kids authentic nfl jerseys

They shouldn’t expect Brown to be a Pro Bowler, though.kid nfl jerseys

North Dakota State Bison

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

Record: 18-15, 9-7 in Summit

How They Got Here: The door swung wide-open in the Summit League when Mike Daum and South Dakota State lost to Western Illinois in the first game of the conference tournament. The Bison seized that opportunity, wrapping up the automatic bid with a 73-63 victory nfl youth jersey over No. 2 seed Omaha in the championship game.

Reason to Believe: This Bison are not afraid to let it rip from beyond the arc. They’ve attempted 861 threes on the season—28th in the nation—and hit at a respectable 36.6 percent clip. Their rotation goes nine deep, which should help them keep fresh against a more athletic opponent. On top of all that, they’re as battle-tested as any small school in the nation, with games against NET top 50 teams in Gonzaga, Iowa State and New Mexico State on their non-conference schedule.nfl replica jerseys cheap

Reason to Worry: The experience gained in those high-profile games is nice, but it also bears mentioning that they lost all three by a combined 81 points. A home victory against sub-150 UC Santa Barbara is their best win, and they have a total of nine Quad 3 and Quad 4 losses.replica nfl jerseys

March Madness Ceiling: The Bison pulled off an upset of No. nfl replica jerseys 5 Oklahoma in the 2014 tournament. This year’s group isn’t nearly as talented as that No. 12 seed was, though. A steep uphill battle awaits.

20-16: South Korea, Iran, Serbia, Senegal, Argentina

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

20. South Korea

Doomed before a ball was kicked, South Korea did well to nearly emerge from a horrible group with three points. Of all teams, Germany were the one who surrendered them.

Three star performers emerged—one predictable cheap nike jerseys nfl (Son Heung-min), the others not so much (Kim Young-gwon and Jo Hyeon-woo).

19. Iran

Drawn into a horror group of their own, including Spain, Portugal and many peoples’ dark-horse pick in Morocco, Iran did stupendously well to grab four points.

Carlos Queiroz’s tactical moves were clever, stymieing Morocco and nearly embarrassing Portugal, and the team battled impressively in a narrow defeat to Spain.

18. Serbia cheap nfl jerseys from china nike

It’s fair to say we expected more of Serbia, who carried an in-form striker (Aleksandar Mitrovic), a genuine difference-maker (Sergej Milinkovic-Savic) and a robust back six into the tournament.

The key game was always going to be against Switzerland, and losing that in the final minutes essentially knocked them out in Game 2. We only saw one good game from Milinkovic-Savic, and Mitrovic missed an awful lot of chances.

17. Senegal

The first side ever to be knocked out of the World Cup on fair play points. Remember Senegal, as they’re an answer to a quiz question coming your way soon.cheap new nike nfl jerseys

What happened to them did feel harsh, particularly given the sporadic brilliance of their play, but when you contrive to drop points in the way they did, elimination is tough to stave off.

16. Argentina

Things went about as badly as could be expected for Argentina.

They were always likely to emerge from the group—the star quality on show meant at least that much could be expected—but they’re too dysfunctional a side to cope with good, organised opponents. France showed them the door in some style.cheap nfl jerseys nike china

Pittsburgh Pirates

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

Record: 29-26, 4th in NL Central

The Pittsburgh Pirates were in first place in the NL Central as recently as May 17. To that point, they seemed to be a classic case of a team that’s better than the sum of its parts.

Or maybe not, as they’ve since lost nine of their last 12.authentic cheap nfl jerseys

Their offense generally has more of a high floor than a high ceiling. It remains competitive by way of its ability to put the ball in play with an NL-low 19.4 strikeout percentage, but it doesn’t up the pressure on teams with either walks or home runs.

The Pirates also suffer from a lack of stability in their starting rotation. Things may change depending on how Joe Musgrove’s return pans out, but to this point it’s lacked a true stopper. A bullpen with a 4.18 ERA has picked up only so much slack.

Grade: C+

Record: 24-33, 5th in NL West

Given the excitement generated by Eric Hosmer, Christian Villanueva, Franchy Cordero and, most recently, Franmil Reyes, one might think the San Diego Padres at least have a competent lineup.

Not really.

Nobody strikes out more frequently than they do, and their .659 OPS is better than only the Marlins’. Throw in the team’s NL-worst defensive efficiency, and their lineup is actually their biggest flaw.

The team’s pitching hasn’t been much good either, but it did emerge as a silver lining in May. Led by Tyson Ross and Brad Hand, Padres pitchers managed a 3.95 ERA for the month. The latter is part of a bullpen that’s quietly been among the best with a 3.23 ERA.nfl jersey cheap china

On the off chance that San Diego’s lineup can live up to its potential, the NL West could be in for a surprise.nfl jerseys authentic cheap

Grade: D+

Record: 26-30, 4th in NL West

If nothing else, the San Francisco Giants are getting the extra offense they needed.cheap nfl jersey sell

They’ve gone from 3.9 runs per game in 2017 up to 4.1 runs per game. Brandon Belt is finally realizing his slugging potential, and Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford, Evan Longoria and Andrew McCutchen have provided solid support around him.

There’s also something to be said of the quality of the back end of San Francisco’s bullpen. Hunter Strickland, Sam Dyson, Tony Watson and Reyes Moronta have combined for a 2.27 ERA in 99 appearances.

What the Giants have been sorely lacking is good starting pitching. Take out Johnny Cueto and the 0.84 ERA he posted when healthy, and Giants starters have just a 5.36 ERA. That’s the pits.

Thus, time to state the obvious: Madison Bumgarner’s looming return can’t come soon enough.nfl team jerseys cheap

Every NFL Team’s Most Exciting UDFA Addition

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

Undrafted free agents didn’t celebrate their entrances into the NFL like 256 rookies who heard their names called during April’s draft. However, when team workouts start, it’s not about how anyone arrived, and a player will often surprise the masses as one of nfl jerseys authentic cheap  the more exciting talents to develop throughout the offseason.

A majority of these talents come into camp with inconsistencies in their collegiate production. Others lack prototypical size at their natural positions.

Nonetheless, a second look on the practice field could help them solidify spots on their teams’ rosters. In order to do so, it’s important to flash specific skills that may translate into regular-season impact. In-house competition for starting and backup roles can also stir nike nfl jerseys for sale early buzz for unheralded prospects.

Let’s take a look at each roster and pinpoint which undrafted rookies stand out as the most exciting additions.

The Arizona Cardinals should have competitive battles for spots at cornerback. After Patrick Peterson, the position is open and ripe for an undrafted rookie to rise through the ranks during the offseason.

This month, the Cardinals traded a 2020 sixth-round nfl cheap jerseys china pick to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for cornerback Jamar Taylor. Among veteran assets on Arizona’s current roster, he’s been the most productive at the position over the past couple of years. Brandon Williams, the team’s third-round pick in 2016, played one snap last year. Bene Benwikere saw the field for 10 snaps in 2017.

Deatrick Nichols comes to Arizona with an impressive collegiate resume, snagging 11 interceptions in three seasons at South Florida, and his active hands and foot quickness allow him to close on the ball and break up receptions. He can play in the slot or on the outside, which creates more possibilities for nfl jerseys for sale cheap  a role in the Cardinals defense.

The 5’10”, 189-pound cornerback’s coverage skills and versatility give him foundational tools to flash in July and August.

John Ross Is Feeling Good

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

While Hooker’s first NFL season ended in a disappointing fashion, wide receiver John Ross’ was much more consistent.

Consistently bad. Awful, even.cheap nfl nike jersey

Ross, who was selected ninth overall by the Cincinnati Bengals, played in just three games. The Bengals placed him on second-ending reserve in December with a shoulder injury. And head coach Marvin Lewis called him out for his play in November, telling reporters Ross “let his teammates down” after he came up short on a route.china nike nfl jerseys cheap

Ross touched the ball once as a rookie—a 12-yard carry. He had no catches. Not one.

Per Geoff Hobson of the team’s official website, Ross acknowledged that his rookie season was a mess:

“Last year I let everything get to me. I let my injury get to me. I was trying to do more than I could. I was out of shape. I’m not trying to make excuses, but it’s real-life things. You can’t just come in the NFL and be that guy. You have to come in and prepare. I’ve learned that. It’s growth and progression from here on.”

Ross also said he’s 100 percent healthy and looking to bounce back.

“I couldn’t ask to feel any better than I do now,” Ross said. “It’s the best I’ve felt since I went into my last year of college.”

Quarterback Andy Dalton told Hobson he’s seen a difference: “He looks good. Completely different than he did last year. You can tell he worked hard. It looks like he’s getting back to where he was. He looks smooth. Everyone knew he was fast, but he’s not just a straight-line guy. He can stop and go. He’s got some shiftiness to him.”nike nfl jerseys cheap china

Hopefully, that improvement will carry through to training camp and the preseason—cheap nfl jerseys china nike possibly enough so that Lewis says something nice about the 23-year-old speedster who set the combine 40 record at 4.22 a year ago.

Christian Yelich, Milwaukee Brewers

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

The Deal: 7 Years, $49.57 Million (with 2022 Club Option)
cheap nfl jerseys china nike
AAV: $7.08 Million

Average WAR Value: $33.33 Million

Difference: $26.25 Million

ada422653ccb524b5f7c39ad92f77ee7_crop_exact
Christian Yelich isn’t the easiest player to appreciate.nike nfl jerseys cheap china

He’s never been a big-time slugger or a hot-shot speedster, as he’s peaked at 21 home runs and 21 stolen bases. Nor has he ever won a major award or even been an All-Star.

But when you add up everything he can do on the diamond, you get a gem.

His power and speed were at least solid during his five years with the Miami Marlins, who extended his contract in 2015. His hitting was more than just solid, as he racked up a .290 average and .369 on-base percentage. And between 2013 and 2016, only three players tallied more defensive runs saved in left field.china nike nfl jerseys cheap

It was also always apparent that Yelich could hit for more power if he wanted to. Between 2015 and 2017, for example, he hit fly balls and line drives at an average of 95.4 mph. That was the same as Yoenis Cespedes.
cheap nfl nike jerseys from china
By his own admission, what held back Yelich was Marlins Park. It scared him into not hitting too many balls in the air, resulting in 18 homers at home compared to 41 on the road.

Because Miller Park is more power-friendly, that should change now that Yelich is on the Milwaukee Brewers. If so, he’ll only become more valuable in the remaining seasons of his contract.cheap nike nfl jerseys free shipping

Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

The Deal: 5 Years, $35 Million (with 2018, 2019 Club Options)

AAV: $7 Million

Average WAR Value: $31.54 Million
cheap nike nfl jerseys wholesale
Difference: $24.54 Million

Madison Bumgarner was only 22 years old when the San Francisco Giants extended him early in 2012. Since he’d shown ace potential in 2011 with a 3.21 ERA over 204.2 innings, it was worth a shot.cheap nike nfl jersey
hi-res-64bd3e502d1b5385f8fcbf8e086e23e0_crop_exact
Boy, was it ever.cheap nfl nike jersey

Bumgarner had little trouble carrying his 2011 success over to 2012. And when his extension actually started in 2013, that’s when he evolved from budding ace to mega-ace.

He logged over 200 innings and posted an ERA under 3.00 each year between 2013 and 2014. He was the only pitcher to do that, so there’s an argument that he deserved better than to rank eighth among pitchers in rWAR for those four seasons.nike nfl jerseys cheap china

WAR also can’t encapsulate what Bumgarner did in the 2014 postseason. He turned in a 1.03 ERA over 52.2 innings. It’s arguably the greatest October run ever by a pitcher, and the Giants wouldn’t have won their third World Series in five years without it.china nike nfl jerseys cheap

Although the lefty has run into injury trouble over the last two seasons, he’s continued to pitch like an ace when he has been healthy. If he can keep that up, he should have no trouble collecting appropriate riches after he’s finally free of his contract after 2019.

Answering Biggest 2018 NBA Draft Questions for Every Projected Lottery Team

Posted on by nfl jerseys for cheap

There are questions about how each projected lottery team should strategize for the NBA draft. And teams who miss the playoffs can’t afford to screw up their pick.

General managers must decide whether to fill needs or take their best player available, even if he plays a position the team is already set on.cheap nike nfl jerseys wholesale93ce1c24c4696aebe486f83d5114a05a_crop_exact

The draft is also an opportunity for franchises to reset. Some teams could explore trading up, down or out.

We pointed out the biggest question each projected lottery team will face and offered a solution.

The projected draft order is based on NBA standings heading into April 8.

Biggest 2018 NBA draft question for the Phoenix Suns: Should the Suns draft Luka Doncic to play point guard or one of the bigs to play center? cheap nfl nike jersey

The Suns will have the best chance of winning the lottery. And they’ll most likely be choosing between Slovenian star Luka Doncic, a guard and excellent passer, or one of the top college bigs.

Deandre Ayton has generated the most No. 1 buzz from the NCAA field. He comes off as a mix between DeMarcus Cousins and Karl-Anthony Towns—skilled bigs with post games and the ability to stretch the floor with their jump shots.

But Ayton had trouble defensively at Arizona, as did Marvin Bagley III at Duke. And the Suns are already the NBA’s worst team in defensive efficiency cheap nfl jerseys china nike , per ESPN.com. Do the Suns value Ayton’s and Bagley’s offensive upside and choose not to overthink on their defensive concerns?china nike nfl jerseys cheap

Doncic isn’t known for his defense, either, but based on his position, he’s less likely to hurt the team’s defensive identity than a poor rim protector would.
