J.J. McCarthy grew on me throughout the scouting process, but his play had more flashes than you’d first expect.

Sam Darnold has a stronger environment around him that could keep him away from his worst tendencies of trying to do too much.

The Vikings offense should be at least in the top half of the league as long as the quarterback has a pulse to him.

Baker Mayfield will have some regression from how he performed on third down last year .

The improved run game is what will offset the boom-or-bust ways of Baker .

The Raiders defense has a chance to be a strong unit this year .

Christian Wilkins wiped out the Vikings ' drive as a run defender and pass rusher.

New head coach Mike Macdonald's kaleidoscopic scheme should be fun to see tacked onto this Seahawks defense.

Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb is already mixing in plenty of shifting, motions and RPOs during Seattle ’s first preseason game.

The heavy use of tight end motion is already showing up leaguewide in the preseason.
