Commanders | Antonio Williams draws encouraging comp Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Washington Commanders WR Antonio Williams was compared to retired WR Randall Cobb by a national NFL scout.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders need Williams to come up big right away because after Terry McLaurin, they don't really have any other players to keep defensive coordinators up at night in the passing game or running game - unless they want to expose Jayden Daniels to injury as a runner by design. He's a solid 2nd/3rd round pick in PPR dynasty rookie drafts that start at least three wide receivers. |
Seahawks | Bigger role for Jalen Milroe? Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe's dual-threat ability is a skill the Seahawks 'hope to utilize' more next season, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Milroe failed to make a splash in his first camp, but the 2025 third round pick was expected to be a long term project. He was one of the best pure runners, including running backs, in last year's draft, so hopefully we can see some of that in small doses as the game slows down for Milroe. |
Raiders | Malik Benson signed Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Las Vegas Raiders sixth-round draft choice WR Malik Benson signed a four-year contract with the Raiders Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Benson is one of the fastest receivers in this draft, and he can at least help as a go route specialist and as a punt and kick returner. With some improvement as a route runner, Benson could have a larger role in time, but he's not worth taking in the first 4-5 rounds of a dynasty rookie draft. Monitor Benson in return yardage leagues. |
Raiders | Mike Washington Jr. signs contract Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Las Vegas Raiders fourth-round draft choice RB Mike Washington Jr. signed a four-year contract with the Raiders Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Washington had the best size/speed combination at running back in this draft class, but he still fell to the fourth round, because his vision and footwork don't really harness his energy... yet. The Raiders depth chart at running back behind Ashton Jeanty lacks proven players, so with a good summer, the rookie could be one injury away from having fantasy relevance. |
Eagles | Cole Payton signs rookie deal Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Philadelphia Eagles fifth-round draft choice QB Cole Payton signed a four-year contract with the Eagles Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Payton is a top end athlete, but not very advanced as a processor in the pocket. He has played a few snaps as a tight end and would be one of the most athletic tight ends in the league if he converted. Jalen Hurts is a free agent in 2028 and the team doesn't appear to have plans to extend his contract right now, so Payton is a good late round pick in dynasty superflex drafts. |
Titans | Nick Singleton under contract Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Tennessee Titans fifth-round draft choice RB Nick Singleton signed a four-year contract with the Titans Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Singleton is a size/speed back who "plays like a car with the brake lines cut" according to NFL.com's draft guru Lance Zierlein. Both of the Titans top two backs are free agents after the season, so Singleton is worth taking in the late rounds of dynasty rookie drafts while we wait to see if better handling is installed in his system. |
Ravens | Adam Randall under contract Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Baltimore Ravens fifth-round draft choice RB Adam Randall signed a four-year contract with the Ravens Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Randall is in the mold of Antonio Gibson, a wide receiver convert to running back who has the traits, but still needs to learn the position. GM Eric DeCosta said that this pick was made by owner Steve Bisciotti. That probably happens more often than we know, but it's odd to be told so directly. Randall could be viewed as a possible replacement for Derrick Henry if he takes to the position, so he's worth taking in the later rounds of dynasty rookie drafts. |
Ravens | Matthew Hibner signed Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Baltimore Ravens fourth-round draft choice TE Matthew Hibner signed a four-year contract with the Ravens Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Ravens moved up in the fourth round to take Hibner, who has enough speed to fill the downfield receiving tight end role vacated when Isaiah Likely followed John Harbaugh to the Giants in free agency. Hibner will have a steep learning curve, so he's no threat to Mark Andrews fantasy value this year. |
Ravens | Elijah Sarratt signs rookie deal Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Baltimore Ravens fourth-round draft choice WR Elijah Sarratt signed a four-year contract with the Ravens Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Sarratt is an accomplished receiver who was a big part of the National Champion Indiana Hoosiers success last year. He's average at best in NFL athleticism terms, but has very reliable hands and game at the catch point, so he could be a trusted possession receiver for Lamar Jackson in time. Unfortunately, that role doesn't translate to fantasy value very often. |

Baltimore Ravens seventh-round draft choice DT Rayshaun Benny signed a four-year contract with the Ravens Friday, May 1. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Free-agent RB Austin Ekeler (Commanders) has been medically cleared to return to the field after his torn Achilles tendon and is planning to play in 2026, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Ekeler tore his Achilles in Week 2 and has been recovering ever since. The veteran can bring a trusted presence to any backfield in the pros both as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Medically cleared now, Ekeler should sign with a team this season - perhaps when injuries start to strike as offseason work (and maybe into training camp) gets underway. |

Link to story Seahawks | Jadarian Price 'Won't be the bell cow right away' Thu Apr 30, 01:12 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price 'won't have to be a bell cow right away', sources tell ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: It's a good situation for Price to step into, although replacing the Super Bowl MVP (Kenneth Walker) does have challenges. It shouldn't take the Notre Dame speedster long to showcase what he can do in the NFL, and he's used to working in a split backfield because of his experience splitting time with Jeremiyah Love. Seahawks' RB Zach Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in their divisional round win over the 49ers last postseason, so Price can be penciled in as their RB1. |

Steelers | Drew Allar needs footwork refined Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers third-round pick QB Drew Allar will need to have his footwork refined by head coach Mike McCarthy, according to sources. 'He's really got a good feel for what that takes,' a team source said of McCarthy's touch in this area.
| Footballguys view: Allar is a skilled quarterback who has obvious flaws to his game. Last year, a broken left ankle prematurely ended his final season at Penn State. He can avoid sacks and pressure with his legs, but Allar needs to be more mechanically sound when throwing on the run. Allar will benefit from better footwork when asked to be a pocket passer as well. He'll compete with Will Howard to establish a pecking order with the Steelers...until Aaron Rodgers shows up and rejoins the team. |
Bengals | Cashius Howell has high motor Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM

Bills | Skyler Bell could contribute Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Buffalo Bills fourth-round draft pick WR Skyler Bell could contribute right away, according to multiple scouts.
| Footballguys view: In 2025, Bell set a UCONN record for receptions (101) and receiving touchdowns (13) in a single season. He's a big-play threat anytime he runs a route, and the Bills can find ways to get the rookie on the field. Bell enters a WR room in Buffalo featuring DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, and Keon Coleman. That's a group of guys he can compete with and move up the depth chart if he develops his skills to the pro game. |
Browns | KC Concepcion ready to work Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion said he believes QB Shadeur Sanders is a great leader and is looking forwarding to working with him. 'I just can't wait to build that relationship and build that connection with him,' Concepcion said.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion met with Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes after he transferred from NC State. Sanders is competing with Deshaun Watson for the starting job this season, and Concepcion can be a key cog to that offense - immediately - because of his speed and playmaking ability. Let's see how his connection with Sanders looks during the offseason and into training camp/preseason. |
Cardinals | Carson Beck's experience a plus Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck's experience in 'big-game environments' was one of the reasons the Cardinals drafted him, according to general manager Monti Ossenfort. 'I think when you see a player who has had big-game experience, when you make this transition to the NFL, there's more hope that it's not going to be too big for them, right?' Ossenfort said.
| Footballguys view: Beck has six years of college experience, with most of his time spent at Georgia. He finished his college career at Miami, and Beck has played some good football over the last few years. He'll get to learn and develop in a Cardinals' QB room that has Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew on the roster. |
Eagles | Coach excited about Eli Stowers Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Philadelphia Eagles TE Eli Stowers has rare athleticism, according to head coach Nick Sirianni. 'He does some things that no one else can do,' Sirianni said. 'Just to be able to create mismatches with him. He is a tough cover, catches everything, good after the catch, speed, quickness. Really excited to have him.'
| Footballguys view: Stowers was arguably the best receiving tight end in this draft class. A converted quarterback, Stowers knows where to sit down in a zone and comes back to the ball. Stowers brings speed and athleticism to the field at the tight end position. The Eagles should find ways to get him on the field behind Dallas Goedert. With Goedert hitting free agency in 2027, Stowers can be considered the future at the position. |
