2015 @ZackMooreNFL’s Mock DraftI do my mock draft a little different than how most members of the NFL media do it. Pair that with the exciting work we do at Over the Cap during the offseason, we have a lot more to cover than most people this time of year as well. While everyone does […]

As the contract details from the recent signings are reported, I will use Expected Contract Value to analyze the deals. Doing so will allow for meaningful valuation of the contracts, enabling useful comparison between, for example, Maclin v. Cobb, Maxwell v. Jackson, Suh v. Watt, etc. However, the numbers for most of the newly-signed contracts […]
