The Cleveland Browns were 8-4 this past season after Odell Beckham Jr. tore his ACL. Before that, Beckham was targeted 43 times, catching only 23 passes. He had hauled in three receiving touchdowns before he went down, but overall, his impact was minimal at best. So, when Browns fans get word that a primetime corner could be on the trade block, they immediately think the Browns need to trade OBJ for whatever corner is out there. The corner that is supposedly on the trade block is 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore. After an incredible 2019 season,…

While the Cleveland Browns wide receivers are one of the best position groups on the team, there is always room for improvement. In our three-round mock draft, the Browns took LSU wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. with the 26th pick. Marshall is an exciting player with tons of potential. While Marshall would add many dimensions to an already dangerous offense, there are other Browns draft targets at the wide receiver position. Browns Draft Targets at Wide Receiver | 2021 NFL Draft Terrace Marshall Jr., LSU Terrace Marshall Jr. is another LSU wide receiver. As of late, it seems like the…
Cornerback is one of the glaring positional needs for the Cleveland Browns heading into the 2021 NFL Draft. However, unfortunately for the Browns, it seems like every first-round cornerback is trending up in the draft instead of down, which the Browns would have benefited from. Guys like Richard Sherman and Asante Samuel Sr. were both third-day picks and turned out to become two of the best corners in the NFL. This year, it’s very likely that Jaycee Horn, Patrick Surtain II, Caleb Farley and Greg Newsome II will all be off the board when the Browns draft at pick 26.…
After the first playoff birth since 2002 and the first playoff win since 1994, the Cleveland Browns are in a peculiar position in the 2021 NFL Draft. For the first time in 10 years, the Browns will be picking outside of the top-15. General Manager Andrew Berry has done a spectacular job luring free agents, like John Johnson III and Jadeveon Clowney, to Cleveland. However, there are still a few holes on the roster. This had led to many Browns mock drafts addressing these obvious needs early. The Browns need to add a cornerback sooner or later to the secondary.…
On Wednesday, I sat down with Matt Fraaze, an Admin for the FCS Fans Nation Facebook group. Matt loves the FCS, and he loves his Bison. The fellas sit down and talk about FCS Playoff seeding and how well the FCS Playoff Committee did. On top of that, they talk first round matchups, the future of FCS football and, of course, how ex-NDSU Bison QB Trey Lance will fare in the NFL. Matt is a great dude that really knows his stuff.

VMI has been one of the best stories in football this year. The Keydets had their best start in program history, 5-0, before falling to East Tennessee State in early April. This is the Keydets first FCS Playoffs appearance in program history. Unfortunately, they will be running into an angry and frustrated James Madison team. The Dukes have been near the top of the polls all year, yet they were only able to get the three seed for the FCS Playoffs. JMU dealt with COVID issues all year, and didn’t even earn the CAA’s automatic playoff bid, which went to…

When the country saw that FIVE MVFC teams had made the FCS Playoffs, we knew there would be at least a couple in-conference clashes. That is exactly what we have here. In his first year at the helm, Missouri State coach Bobby Petrino would like to make some noise in the FCS Playoffs. However, on the other sideline, North Dakota head coach Kyle Schweigert has other plans in mind. Missouri State closed out the season winners of four straight. The Bears played three games in the fall, losing to Oklahoma and Central Arkansas twice. On the other side, North Dakota…
What a time to be a Davidson football player or fan. The Wildcats won their first Pioneer League championship this past weekend, and earned their first ever FCS Playoffs bid. Unfortunately for them, they will have to take on a seasoned Jacksonville State football team on Saturday. The Gamecocks have played 11 games in the last six months. They have doubled most teams’ win totals. However, Davidson is in the perfect position to pull the upset. After playing 11 games so far, will the Gamecocks run out of gas this weekend? Let’s take a look at this FCS Playoffs matchup…
In our final FCS Playoffs matchup of the day, Sacred Heart will head to Delaware to try and pull off the upset. Delaware had a great run to end the regular season. The Blue Hens defeated Villanova last Saturday to claim the CAA’s automatic bid to the playoffs. As for Sacred Heart, it’s a different story. After losing to Duquesne in the first week of the spring, they bounced all the way back and defeated the Dukes in overtime last Saturday. The Pioneers will need more clutch play, and a little bit of luck, to beat the Blue Hens. Let’s…
