UNFORTUNATE: The Folarin Balogun controversy has turned every American into an early 2020s Chiefs fan and I hate it. www.si.com/nfl/folarin-...

Editor John asked for a parting shot to the offseason column. My thought? The popularity of Shanahan and McVay schemes is partly to blame for the defensive counterrevolution. If a team is simply copying off the smart kid without a special wrinkle, they're hosed: www.si.com/nfl/copycat-...

I think teams like the Colts, Eagles and Lions should be in on Brendan Sorsby. Not the teams who have never developed a quarterback taking an especially pronounced risk they are not capable of taking advantage of.

Read @conororr.bsky.social on the Myles Garrett trade. Conor is smart. www.si.com/nfl/myles-ga...

Can we really create another Tom Brady? @conororr.bsky.social says the legend himself has a blueprint to try, and he has now chosen Fernando Mendoza to test that hypothesis: www.si.com/nfl/tom-brad...

Life is short, the salary cap is fugazi and @conororr.bsky.social is proud of the the Cardinals for drafting Jeremiyah Love with the third pick www.si.com/nfl/jeremiya...

Ty Simpson will put Sean McVay’s reputation as a QB whisperer to the test, writes @conororr.bsky.social www.si.com/nfl/ty-simps...

@conororr.bsky.social’s 2026 mock draft: The Cardinals make three first-round picks, the Eagles trade up and one team makes a bold trade to nab Jeremiyah Love www.si.com/nfl/mock-dra...

I like this take. I also wonder how many teams will try, given the uncertainty every year, to acquire more 2027 capital.

I just finished my mock and I have 5 first round trades not counting whatever happens after the fact with AJ Brown. I think some teams (Chiefs; Rams) could move up knowing/hoping they won’t be that high again.

Watch from home. Bathroom access and control over the food are essential. Plus, I can lock in a chair with a back on it.

To me—and this is just my personal take—the late speculation is an invitation to trade up. I think the Jets have had their guy but are going through the typical draft smokescreen process.

Thank you so much for following and listening! You guys are the best

I don’t have a crazy QB prediction but I have a totally wild non QB player trade going live on tomorrow’s MMQB. Let’s just say Jeremiyah Love is involved.

For sure. There’s still like 10 really good players in this draft and the Jets get one of them regardless.

I think if Reese starts to fall Dallas will be interested.

I see Pittsburgh possibly trying to get younger on the edges defensively. But a wide receiver also makes some sense, especially with a shift toward a more McCarthy-centric offense, which is really the vintage Rodgers offense. But is there a wide receiver with the capacity to fit in with Rodgers?

I remember a similar version of this question being posed about Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston. As it turns out, neither were really what anyone was looking for! I think Bailey is underrated in just how good he was as a rusher last year and can fit Post-Glenn as well.

In short, yes. I have a more detailed breakdown on this thread you can check out but I loved the move for all three parties. The Giants needed Harbaugh players, the Bengals need an immediate win now player and Dexter can feast against those interior OLs in Cleveland and Baltimore

Jessica! Thanks so much for the question. In my mock running tomorrow, I have them trading out of the pick to Arizona. But I like them taking either an interior OL or inside LB.

That’s hard to say with this class in particular because there are so few first round grades on players. So while there may be first round picks by name, we gotta be quick not to label them busts because in another draft, they’re second round picks

Hey Matt! I’d urge you to check out the latest edition of the MMQB pod. We have a great discussion about that there. But in short, I’d say Philly, the Rams and the Cowboys

Let’s gooo!!

The Seahawks ripped apart the Patriots’ weaknesses with ease to cruise in Super Bowl LX, writes @conororr.bsky.social www.si.com/nfl/seahawks...

New England is running out of time to generate a big defensive play that can tip the scales in their favor (though they have been VERY close). No weather complications like Denver. Soon, Seattle won't need to throw as much and be exposed to the blitz.

This is how Seattle wants to play. Strangle New England, force them into max protect. Two blitzes to end the last two drives.

First blitz of the day for Seattle on that last third down. Mike Macdonald rarely pressures but hits when he does. That was a six-man blitz with Witherspoon forcing the throwaway.

After a walk around the concourse, my estimation of jerseys goes as follows: 60% Seahawks 30% VPs and executives from State Farm 10% Patriots

Mike Vrabel is wild, man.

“If you’re not used to [having your face tingle], I can see staying away. But I kind of like it.” Read @conororr.bsky.social on the drink that powers Mike Vrabel and explains the New England Patriots this season www.si.com/nfl/mike-vra...

Soft. This is basically how I’ve been moving through the media center all week, if anyone is wondering why I am the way I am.

I’m all in on C4, but Vrabel is a mad man.

Mike Vrabel is wild, man.

NFL coaches brag about their over-the-top coffee consumption.But of course, Mike Vrabel has taken it to another level with a face-tingling energy drink that keeps the Patriots on edge. Literally. "I tried it once," a coach says. "It made me feel very uncomfortable." www.si.com/nfl/mike-vra...

The rise of Seahawks DC Aden Durde is unlike any story in modern NFL coaching. But it's *because* he was born and raised in the U.K. that he was able to master his craft, not in spite of it. Our deep dive into his scheme, his past and what changes now: www.si.com/nfl/aden-dur...

Good story here from @conororr.bsky.social. Hello to my new Olympics followers, I spend most of my year as an NFL editor and you should follow @themmqb.bsky.social to read a bunch of good stories about the Super Bowl.

I'm not a football fan, but I loved this @conororr.bsky.social piece showing another side of the late great Bobby Weir.

Thank you to some members of the media for weighing in on this important matter too: @conororr.bsky.social, @lindsayhjones.bsky.social, @ml-j.bsky.social, @zacstevens.bsky.social

An absolute must-read

Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead wasn't just a rock icon. He built the greatest flag football dynasty you've never heard of. As the Super Bowl heads to San Fran, his Tamalpais Chiefs recall Weir: Part Belichick, part McVay and unafraid to have the opposing QB (kinda) kidnapped. si.com/nfl/bob-weir...

Just an awesome story from @conororr.bsky.social, especially if your interests place you at the center of a football/Grateful Dead Venn diagram: www.si.com/nfl/bob-weir...
