Adrian Peterson traded to Arizona!! + News!

Hi, today I'm going to be talking about some big storylines that have happened recently. Here it is:

ADRIAN PETERSON TRADED TO THE CARDINALS:
After a weird couple months in New Orleans, the former MVP running back Adrian Peterson has been traded to the Cardinals. The Cards traded a conditional draft pick for the future hall of fame running back. Lets start out with last season. After a great 2015, everyone was hyped for Peterson's next season but in just I think it was 3 weeks, Peterson suffered a season ending injury. After the season, the Vikings let A.P. walk. Throughout the first month of free agency, all the big name free agents got signed and Peterson for some reason stayed on the market. The Seahawks, Giants, Cowboys, Patriots, Buccaneers, Packers, and more teams were rumored to sign him but all passed. Then out of nowhere, the Saints signed the RB to a 2 year deal. We knew it was going to be a little weird as the Saints not only are a pass happy team but they already had an established starter in Mark Ingram and a promising rookie Alvin Kamara. When the season started, the Saints turned to Ingram and Kamara as their feature backs, AP didn't do much. Thats how it happened. Throughout the first 5 weeks Peterson had done barely anything but just make an awkward scene on the bench. Trade rumors began flying. Some about the Giants. Then AP was actually traded to the CARDINALS! What a move! The Cards are NOT an RB needy team but offensive STAR David Johnson got injured in week 1 and won't be back until the end of the season and the Cards backup RB's have done a bad job and turned the Cards rushing offense into one of the worst in the league. Now the Cards have Peterson! I'm very very excited to watch this! Peterson may not assume the full starting job in his Arizona debut because he still has to learn the plays but in 2 weeks, AP will be the Cards starting RB. Carson Palmer needs some pressure taken off of him and this could be perfect. I'm excited to see if as a starter once again, if AP still "has it". Also when David Johnson comes back it will be fun to watch a David Johnson Adrian Peterson one-two punch. This is a low risk high reward bet for the Cards as they barely gave up anything to secure the services of the former MVP RB.

Giants start 0-5??! Outcome Predictions:
Who would have thought that one of the 0-5 teams to start out the year would be the once thought of as Super Bowl contending Giants? Now 5 weeks in, Eli Manning looks old, the o-line isn't working, there is no run game, Odell Beckham AND Brandon Marshall are out for the year, the D is falling apart, and coach of the year candidate from last year Ben McAdoo looks like he could be fired. Wow! That's a lot that went wrong. Lets look into the Giants schedule throughout the rest of the year. Denver and Seattle are their next 2 match-ups, 2 elite teams. Thats 2 L's right there. That could make their week 8 BYE VERY VERY uncomfortable and there is a possibility of coach McAdoo going out the window right then and there. The signing of Colin Kapernick could also be a possibility if Manning can't play well. After the BYE, they have a tough game against the suddenly contending Rams who will likely give them another lost. An 0-16 year won't be happening though as they play the hopeless 49ers after that week. They get their first win of the year RIGHT THERE! The rest of their season is up against tough teams but they play the Redskins twice in those games and I think they will win one of those matches and end the season 2-14. That could put them in the first or 2nd overall pick pool. If they get pick 1 or 2, they will likely start off by either taking a QB like UCLA QB Josh Rosen, USC QB Sam Darnold, or someone else. Another pick that could be great for the team that early is if they pick Heisman favorite RB Saquon Barkley who is exceeding expectations at Penn State that were already so high. The Giants will end the year 2-14, take a QB or Saquon Barkley, fire coach Ben McAdoo and get a fresh start. The Giants will have a mini rebuild this off-season but if they make the right moves, could be contenders once again after this season which will be a long one for the Giants.

Myles Garrett TWO Sacks in his debut:
While the Browns have started 0-5 for the second season in a row, it looks like they may have finally made a good pick. First overall pick DE Myles Garrett made his NFL debut this past Sunday and it was a memorable one! In his very first game, Garrett headlined with 2 sacks! That is amazing especially for your first game ever. This is a good sign too. Remember when the reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year Joey Bosa missed the first four games for a contract holdout then had 2 sacks in his debut? Again, he went on to win Defensive Rookie of the Year. Could a DROY be coming Garrett's way? I can see it. He was the first pick in the draft for a reason. Garrett looks like one of the first times in recent memory that the Browns made a great draft pick!

My Top 10 Most Exciting Draft Prospects

Hi, as soon as we know it, the Browns will be on the clock. Today I am going to look at and tell you about my top 10 prospects I'm most excited to see in the NFL and what happens with them. Some quick news that the Seahawks sign former Dolphins no. 3 overall pick, DE Dion Jordan. Here it is:

10. Tre'Davious White, CB, LSU:
Again, this list is my personal opinion so some may be surprised to see White on this list but the late first round prediction is a very exciting player. If you watch his highlights in LSU some are insane like his punt return where he turned backwards, ran the wrong way and then came back and returned it for a touchdown. The most exciting special teams play I've ever seen.

9. Soloman Thomas, DE, Stanford:
The likely 2nd overall pick in the draft is such a fun player to watch, he really excites me which is why he lands on my list. Thomas has this insane quality where he can just bash through the line with no problem. He is a talent that is amazing and I am really EXCITED to see what he does in the NFL.

8. Mike Williams, WR, Clemson:
In my opinion and a lot of peoples opinions, Williams is the best receiver in the draft. Williams is really really good on jump balls and has qualities that make him look like he will possibly be as good as the trio of great receivers, Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, and Julio Jones.

7. O.J. Howard, TE, Alabama:
Howard is the best tight end prospect we have seen in a very very long time. We can already tell that Howard is going to be a superstar big target for any QB. Its likely that the guy goes to the Titans where he will catch passes from young Marcus Mariota. Howard is a huge target that we are all excited to see.

6. Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M:
Okay, even though he is the best prospect and likely the no. 1 overall pick in the draft doesn't mean he's the most exciting player to watch and most excited to see go to the NFL. Garrett is a mean talent that reminds me of Jadeveon Clowney coming out of college. The likely no. 1 overall pick is a beast and an exciting player to watch.

5. John Ross, WR, Washington:
The 40 yard dash king is one of the very most exciting players to watch and to see how good he will be in the pros. Ross is an insane speedster who can also catch the ball so so well. He will be a QB's dream and a nightmare for defensive backs (especially slow ones). I'm excited to see where the stud lands.

4. Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU:
The best running back we've seen coming out of college in years looks like a dream come true. He is the perfect mix of size and speed and will likely be the newest Jaguars running back. I was all hype about the Jags last year and I thought they would even win the Super Bowl but this year they will be even better if they have the next Adrian Peterson on their team.

3. Jabrill Peppers, DB, Michigan:
Coming into the off-season, things weren't going Peppers' way. Then he showed up and showed off at the combine and other pro days and the Michigan product is one of the most exciting players in the draft. Its still TBD if he will play safety or linebacker but it looks like he will likely be a safety. He will easily be a first round pick and I'm SUPER excited to see him in the NFL.

2. Patrick Mahomes, QB, Texas Tech:
Most people would call me crazy having Mahomes on this list but I am a huge fan. I think he is the most exciting QB coming out of college I have seen lately and one of the reasons I'm so excited is because there are so many questions on if he is pro ready or if his skills will fit an NFL team but all of the what ifs make me so so excited to see what happens with Mahomes!

1. Christian McCaffery, RB, Stanford:
Ask anyone, McCaffery is the most exciting player in the draft. He is also the most versatile. He is the king of jukes and spins. He is not just an amazing running back but he is also really good at pass catching. Projected a 2nd rounder, McCaffery has had amazing pro days and a great combine and so now he is projected a top 10 pick, likely to the Panthers but in my mock draft I have him going 19th overall to the Buccaneers. McCaffery is my most exciting player in this years draft but don't forget to other 10 because they are also super exciting to watch.

Predicting the First 5 Picks of the 2017 NFL Draft

Hi, I'm looking way into the future on which teams I think will have the top 5 picks and who they will pick. These are my opinion on how the teams will do so the order will most likely not be the same. Some quick news that the Panthers release good cornerback Bene Benwikere. Here it is:

With the first pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns Select:
DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson:
The Browns are the only team without a win this season. They were looking good before their injuries hit. QB Robert Griffin III looked good but he's hurt yet again and so the Browns are back to their QB struggles. Its time to grab a young player who is easily the best QB in college. He's fast, he's great at passing, and he's a leader. He could finally be the franchise QB they've been waiting for.

With the second pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears Select:
Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville:
If Lamar Jackson comes out of college this year, he will be the future of the Bears QB. They have dealt with Jay Culter for too long and he used to be good but his prime time is over. The Bears will love a young, SUPER fast, heisman potiential, QB. He is probably going to win this years Heisman, he has already 14 passing TD's and 14 rushing TD's in just a few games. WHAT?! How does that work. This man is insane and he will be the Bears long term answer even if he doesn't start RIGHT away.

With the Third pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Fransico 49ers Select:
DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame:
Its time. The 49ers have 2 QB's currently. Blaine Gabbert who is overrated by the team and Colin Kapernick who deserves the start but no one gives it to him so its time for someone new. Most people are saying Kizer will be the no. 1 QB coming out of college and I think he is really good so the 49ers will be lucky to get him. He's already passed for 1500+ yards and 14 TD's and he's rushed for 600+ yards and 6 TD's in just the first few games. He is perfect combination and the 49ers will be happy to have someone new at QB.

With the Fourth pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins Select:
Myles Garrett, OLB, Texas A&M:
The Redskins are going to have another bad season and they will finally be able to get the next Von Miller right out of college to help with their terrible defense. Him and Josh Norman will headline the D and the addition of Garrett will help A LOT! He could give them a great monster season.

With the Fifth Pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers Select:
Jabrill Peppers, DB, Michigan:
With Jason Verrett hurt, he will be a question mark in the future, to have a super young corner in the mix, the 2 could grow together and be like Aquib Talib and Chirs Harris. He plays a bunch of other positions too so if they needed help in other places, they could put him there to help. He is the complete package and will totally help the Chargers in the future.

Thanks for reading and I may have picks 6-10 coming another time. Hope you liked it.
