KC Concepcion, a highly-regarded wide receiver prospect in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, has scheduled a 30 visit with the New York Giants. Concepcion, from Texas A&M, is currently the No. 29 ranked prospect on the NFL Mock Draft Database Big Board, and could be available to the Giants at No. 37 in Round 2. Concepcion recently underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee. The procedure was performed by Dallas Cowboys team doctor Daniel Cooper, and Concepcion is expected to be ready to go at rookie minicamp later this year. There has been some discussion that Concepcion could be selected late in Round 1. If teams are hesitant about selecting him due to the knee surgery, he could become available to the Giants. Concepcion caught 61 passes for 919 yards (15.1 yards per catch) with nine touchdowns last season. Rugged, versatile playmaker with the quickness and agility to elude coverage and the gyroscopic balance to make hay after the catch. Concepcion is a tough, dynamic pass catcher with a wide catch radius and turbo-boosted acceleration. A transfer to Texas A&M in 2025 after a two-season stint at NC State, he took his game to a whole new level for the Aggies, proving he can operate as a three-level playmaker from anywhere in the formation. After playing mostly in the slot as an underneath option for the Wolfpack (in his final season there he saw an average depth of target of just 6.9 yards), Concepcion shifted primarily to the outside for Texas A&M, pushing his aDOT to a career-best 12.3 yards while reeling in 61 catches for 919 yards and 10 total touchdowns (nine receiving, one as a rusher). He brings suddenness as a route runner, using lightning-quick footwork to shake defenders off the line and at the route break. He sells routes with jukes and shoulder fakes before cutting sharply to create separation on digs and slants. He shows a good feel for finding space against zone coverage and makes sure to come back to the quarterback on scramble-drill plays. He brings a big catch radius and shows excellent concentration at the catch point (grabbing 10 of 15 contested catch opportunities last year, per PFF). He plays above the rim, elevating over defenders to snag high passes. He’s one of the better run-after-the-catch receivers in this draft, with 440 of his 919 receiving yards last season coming after the catch (and he averaged 7.2 yards after the catch per reception, with 14 missed tackles forced, per PFF). He’s a top-tier accelerator, mashing the gas pedal to sprint away from defenders and break tackles. His open-field prowess comes in handy when he’s returning punts, too; he averaged 18.2 yards per punt return last year, with two touchdowns on 25 returns. Concepcion lacks top-tier size and could struggle to beat press coverage from bigger, more physical corners at the NFL level. Drops were a bit of an issue in college—he had a 10 percent drop rate in 2025 and notched a 9.3 percent drop rate over his career. He’ll have to work to clean up inconsistencies there. He also needs to get stronger as a blocker in the run game. No. 5 the ceiling for RB Jeremiyah Love? ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter thinks so. See More: New York Giants Draft

Rams go tackle in more original mock draft
Most mock drafts have collided on the same position group target for the Los Angeles Rams and I don’t need to tell you that it’s wide receiver. But Charles McDonald at Yahoo!

But Charles McDonald at Yahoo! Sports didn’t go that direction in a mock draft posted this week, focusing instead on offensive line help. McDonald has the Rams taking Caleb Lomu, a tackle from Utah. 13. Los Angeles Rams (via Falcons) — Caleb Lomu, OT, Utah “With longtime right tackle Rob Havenstein retiring, the Rams have a big hole on the right side of their offensive line. Luckily, they can find the perfect replacement here. Lomu hasn’t gotten as much adoration as his teammate Spencer Fano, but Lomu might be a cleaner fit here considering he was already playing right tackle at Utah. Lomu’s nasty streak, explosiveness and overall athleticism give him the chance to develop into a lockdown right tackle.” Clearly McDonald doesn’t have much admiration for the work that Warren McClendon has done and the potential for him to man right tackle for the long-term future. Would you agree? NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein compares Lomu to tackle Dan Moore, Jr., which doesn’t sound that exciting but could be a dependable long-term asset on the offensive line. Two-year starting left tackle who is still in the early stages of his development. Utah’s run game leaned heavily on movement and misdirection, preventing Lomu from firing out and showing his power. His run blocking trails his pass protection, but improved pad level and a nastier demeanor could close the gap. In protection, he shows good balance with adequate foot quickness, landing quick, well-timed punches and using a firm grip to control rushers once he’s in. His anchor was rarely stressed by power and his athletic recoveries are average. Lomu flashes but is still under construction. His play could improve rapidly with strength gains and additional coaching. Is a “project” with high upside at right tackle the right move for L.A. at pick 13? Certainly nobody would argue against the importance of offensive linemen. The Rams are usually tied to receivers at 13, of which there are a few options like Jordyn Tyson and Makai Lemon, but only if they’re still on the board. Would you give the Rams a good grade if they drafted Lomu? See More:
Who should be the Colts backup QB this year?
Since much of the hoopla of the free agent frenzy is behind us, I thought that I would look at who you prefer to be Daniel Jones’ backup. Given DJ’s contract, there is no longer a QB competition, only a battle to see who plays in those games that Jones can’t. We won’t know until […] Since much of the hoopla of the free agent frenzy is behind us, I thought that I would look at who you prefer to be Daniel Jones’ backup. Given DJ’s contract, there is no longer a QB competition, only a battle to see who plays in those games that Jones can’t. We won’t know until later in the Spring, if Jones is ready to go for Week 1. Scrap that, we (as fans) won’t know if he is ready until the last pre-season game is played. With Jones having a potential two year window, the Colts will likely play his injury safer than they played his broken bone last year. I expect him to ready, but we have established that I lean optimistic. Many point to missed games that are checkered throughout his first seven seasons, as an indication that our backup will definitely play. If the backup is going to play, who should be our guy? In 2023, Anthony Richardson would have had a hard time believing that in year 4 of his career, he would be requesting a trade, or in a camp battle for the QB2 role. However, that is where he finds himself. It was back on Feb 26th, that he asked for permission to seek a trade. The Colts granted that request. With all of the movement during free-agency, you have to believe that if a team truly wanted to deal for him, they would have made an offer. Right now, it appears that the only teams willing to make that move are doing so with the “flyer” designation, which will not bring much in return. (See Justin Fields) It is hard to argue with the philosophy that the only way you can salvage any sort of return on his investment, is to get him on the field. Those who would argue that philosophy would say that the more he is seen, the less his value will be. That is on the harsh side. It has been since December of 2024, since he has been seen on the field in a regular season game. He has had another full camp since then, and if he stays a Colt this offseason, it will be two camps. It is fair to point out that his career is also checkered with missed games. So, in one corner we have the uber talented former #4 overall pick, who has shown flashes of above average play. He is under contract for a manageable amount and the only pending decision would be whether to pick up his 5th year option. He should have a complete grasp of the offense in year 4. He should also have some sense of urgency, but maybe not, since he will be just 24 when the season opens. He has had multiple seasons with the receivers and does open up that playbook as a runner. In the other corner, we have the incumbent from last year. Riley Leonard does not have the same physical tools as AR, nor the lofty draft status. He was a modest 6th round pick and possibly even a consolation pick after his title game opponent (Howard) was taken four picks earlier. No one in the draft room, or anywhere in the building for that matter would say that they wished Howard had fallen, but us speculators can float it out there. Riley got his feet wet at the end of last year, after Rivers was summoned from the sofa. He was understandably a “deer in headlights”, when asked to replace DJ vs. Jacksonville. With only 3rd string reps in camp, and second string reps after AR’s band mishap, he looked the part of a rookie getting his first action. After four weeks following his neighbor around, soaking up knowledge, he looked much better in the finale. How much stock you wish to put in one half of football against a stout NFL defense likely goes a long way in determining just who you want as QB2. My guess is that after seeing what Fields brought in trade capital, AR will be held onto until the docs and brass are convinced that Jones is fully ready to take on the season. This obviously will not take place before the draft, so my guess is that once Jones is healthy, AR will be moved for a player or late 2027 pick. So given that scenario and lets say Jones is able to practice, but not play until week 3. With AR in camp, would he and Leonard be given an equal shot to start those two games, or do you trot AR out there in an attempt to raise his value. Or, do you put Leonard out there since he would likely be QB2 after game 3, so that he gains more experience on the job? As Crash Davis told his coach, We’re dealing with a lot of “stuff” out here. How do you procede? See More: Indianapolis Colts Analysis
Do Raiders need another veteran WR?
There was a lot of speculation that the Las Vegas Raiders would attempt to add a No.1 wide receiver this offseason. It makes sense the need is there.

But so far, the Raiders have not gotten close to adding a top impact player at the position. So far, Las Vegas has added Jalen Nailor and Dareke Young at the position in free agency. Nailor has a chance to be a be a starter, but he was a No. 3 option in Minnesota whose career high for receptions is 29, so it wouldn’t be fair or accurate to label him a sure No. 1. Young is much more of a special teamer than a rotational wide receiver. In addition Nailor and Young, the Raiders have 2025 draft picks Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton and Tre Tucker as players who all should be part of the 53-man roster. Yet, there is room for another receiver. The Raiders could use a draft pick on wide receiver, but there are other early-round needs that they needed second and fourth-round picks in Bech and Thornton last year. But they will look. They reportedly are soon hosting Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston on a pre-draft visit. He has a chance to be a first rounder. Bill WilliamsonStar2d Silver And Black Pride Draft WR to visit Washington WR Denzel Boston has a dozen visits set up. His first with reportedly with the Raiders. The Raiders could hope he slides to No. 36 or perhaps he could be a trade-up candidate. LikeRec 0CommentsThin Stroke Comment Icon BubbleReplyRead 14 replies So, the Raiders, who don’t have a ton to spend on a big ticket player in free agency, could also look at the remaining free agents. They include Jauan Jennings, Deebo Samuel (who were both expected to be signed earlier and who have ties with new Las Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak), Stefon Diggs, Kennan Allen, Tyreek Hill (he’s still recovering from a major injury) and the 49ers are expected to part ways with Brandon Aiyuk at some point. He has history with Kubiak as well. So, there is still time and options for Las Vegas to add a wide receiver if it wishes. What do you think the Raiders should do at the position?

Former Eagles running back announces NFL retirement
He was a sixth round draft pick in 2018, and on Wednesday, former Eagles running back Boston Scott announced his retirement from the NFL. Scott, better known as the “Giant Killer” in Philly, spent six years with the Eagles, and unfortunately had a career in between the Super Bowl wins.

Scott, better known as the “Giant Killer” in Philly, spent six years with the Eagles, and unfortunately had a career in between the Super Bowl wins. The RB went on to spend time with the Rams and then the Steelers ahead of the 2024 season, but spent the year on Pittsburgh’s IR list. He didn’t play in 2025, and a week after free agency started for the 2026 rosters, Scott made a business decision to hang up his cleats. He will retire a legend in Philadelphia, and even though he never got a ring, he’ll be welcomed back with open arms. Scott always filled his role well and stepped up big in critical moments. During his six seasons with the Eagles, Scott had 302 carries for 1,295 yards and 16 touchdowns, and was regularly absolutely dominant in games against the Giants. His energy was infectious, and the RB was a fan favorite. As he admits in his farewell letter, Scott didn’t anticipate leaving the game this way, but he’s looking forward to what comes next in his journey See More: Philadelphia Eagles News
Eagles reportedly trade for veteran quarterback
The Eagles are still making moves, and their most recent is to send a seventh-round draft pick in the 2027 NFL Draft down to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for veteran quarterback Andy Dalton.

Dalton clearly isn’t coming in to take Jalen Hurts’ job, but it is nice to have another experienced signal-caller added to Philly’s quarterback room. The whole offense seems to be molded by former QBs, and Dalton’s experience will fit in nicely and give the group some different perspectives. This move also gives the team some flexibility to entertain offers for QB2 Tanner McKee, should teams be interested in him. As for Dalton, his career has been up and down at best, and Philadelphia will be his sixth stop heading into his 16th NFL season. He spent the last three seasons in Carolina, and is exactly the kind of guy to help install a new system with the Eagles — he’s seen enough things around the league to fit right in as a depth option. Dalton is currently to make $4 million in 2026, which is in line with QB2 money but is expensive for QB3 money. See More:
Arnold Ebiketie recalls the exact moment he became an Eagles fan
The Eagles added a new defender during free agency, OLB Arnold “AK” Ebiketie. He spoke to reporters when he was in Philadelphia this week to sign his new contract, and talked about how he made his decision, when he became an Eagles fan, and how Jordan Davis helped recruit him. The newest edge rusher for […] The Eagles added a new defender during free agency, OLB Arnold “AK” Ebiketie. He spoke to reporters when he was in Philadelphia this week to sign his new contract, and talked about how he made his decision, when he became an Eagles fan, and how Jordan Davis helped recruit him. The newest edge rusher for the Eagles admitted that it was a hectic week as free agency got underway, especially considering his daughter decided to be born last Monday as the legal tampering window opened. Ultimately, he let his agent handle the situation. “I had a couple things that I wanted them to focus on — the fit was a priority for me, and I felt like coming out of free agency that we got exactly what we wanted.” As for why he felt like Philly was a good fit for him, he said it goes without saying that he was drawn to Vic Fangio’s system. The edge rusher said that over the past couple seasons, the Eagles have had one of the best defenses in the league, and that’s something he’s dreamt of being apart of. “And, just coming out here and learning from those guys, and just the goal is always to be the best version of yourself you can possibly be, so I felt like it was a great fit for me to come out here.” He went on to say that it meant a lot for him to come back to the city after playing college football at Temple and Penn State. “I became an Eagles fan, and I can tell you exactly when that happened. I remember 2017, I was a freshman at Temple, and that was, if I’m not mistaken, the year the Eagles won the Super Bowl, and we all know how this city gets after the Super Bowl here in Philly. And I remember being a young kid at Temple, walking down from Cecil B Moore [Ave] to Broad Street and everything, and I feel like, if I recall that’s exactly when I became an Eagles fan.“ AK said that he wasn’t worried about signing just a one-year deal because he knows the type of player he is, and it’s really about coming in and learning from the guys in the room and getting better every single day. He also explained that he does already have friends on the team, including Jordan Davis. “In terms of people that I know well, Jordan Davis is kinda my guy, and I was on the phone with him for about 30 minutes before I decided to come to the Eagles. So, kind of spoke to him, kind of wanted to know the breakdown and how the defense looked in some of the things they did in the previous years. I would say he’s one of the persons I leaned on in this process.” Davis told AK that the defense is a group that’s going to put the work in and play in sync, they’re going to stop the run and get after the quarterback. That all aligned with what AK was looking for, so it helped him make his decision. See More:
Hollywood Brown explains why he’s looking forward to playing with Jalen Hurts

[…] Hours after news broke that Hollywood Brown would be joining the Eagles, he hopped on the Speakeasy podcast with LeSean McCoy and Emmanuel Acho to talk about his decision. The newest Philly WR spoke about why he picked the Eagles, why he’s excited to play with Jalen Hurts, and how he’d enjoy playing alongside A.J. Brown. “I’mma make Philly love me, I’mma love Philly. I’m excited for it.” Here’s some of what Brown had to say: On choosing the Eagles “Just talking to Howie [Roseman], talking to Nick [Sirianni] and they’re laying out their vision, laying out how they can see me coming in, helping. Just, everyone speaks so highly of Philly, and just, that was my favorite team growing up — I told Coach [Andy] Reid that when I got to Kansas City. Glad to make it happen.” Brown went on to explain that he almost went back to play for the Ravens, but wasn’t very involved in the process until his agent came to him when it was time to make a decision. He said that he still has a lot to prove in the league, and noted that his previous injuries have hindered his career, so it was important to him to go to a team that believed in him and somewhere he could win. “I wanna go somewhere I can win, I can come in and help. I can come in and showcase what I can do on a winning team, and be apart of something special.” On playing with Jalen Hurts “I’ve always been a fan of Jalen Hurts from, even his story back in Alabama. I took the long road to where I got, so I always root for guys that went on that journey. When he came to Oklahoma was when I was coming into the league, and I was considering staying in school to play with him. When he got into the league, and just seeing the adversity he’s been through — and being across that sideline Super Bowl, seeing how calm, collected, dialed in he was, and the throws he was making, you get back home and you get on the TV and you hear people saying what he can’t do … I personally feel like he’s one of the top vertical passers in the league as far as, his deep ball is great.“ On A.J. Brown’s future with the team “We talked about it. Of course I would want A.J. [Brown] there. You want to be surrounded by great players, and he’s a great player, and his last name’s Brown, so I would want him there. But at the end of the day, me, I understand it is a business. He gotta do what he gotta do, do whatever’s best for him. But for me, I’m coming in, and I’m trying to make plays. Whoever’s in the building, gonna get it right, and that’s all I’m trying to do.” See More:
Carson Wentz best QB2 option left if Jimmy G leaves
The Los Angeles Rams have a gaping hole under center behind Matthew Stafford that Carson Wentz can fill. Wentz is perhaps the best backup quarterback option on the market if Jimmy Garoppolo signs elsewhere this offseason. Los Angeles and Wentz have always been intertwined since the North Dakota State product infamously tore his ACL during […] The Los Angeles Rams have a hole on the roster behind Matthew Stafford and Carson Wentz is perhaps the best backup quarterback option on the market if Jimmy Garoppolo signs elsewhere this offseason. Los Angeles and Wentz have always been intertwined since the North Dakota State product infamously tore his ACL during his historic 2017 campaign. Things came full circle when he signed with the Rams in November 2023 as insurance for an injured Stafford. Wentz made his first start for the team in the regular season finale against the hated 49ers and made the most of it. With a playoff spot already locked up, he Wentz 17-of-24 for 163 yards and two touchdown passes. He added another 56 yards on the ground and rushed for a 12-yard touchdown that helped L.A. secure the win. Anyone who manages to beat the Whiners is okay in our book here at Turf Show Times. The Rams were only one stop of many following his exit from Philadelphia. He became the first quarterback ever to start for six different teams in six consecutive seasons in 2025. Most recently, Wentz played in Minnesota last season and filled in when J.J. McCarthy developed a boo-boo for the billionth time. In five Vikings starts, he went 2-3, completing 65% of his passes and finishing with a 6-to-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio. His season ended with a brutal shoulder injury made worse for all the world to see in a 37-10 Week 8 loss to the Chargers. Wentz will obviously never replicate the early career magic that he had with the Eagles. That is perfectly okay, as the Rams don’t need the magician escape artist he once was; they need a tough and reliable enough signal caller who can fill in when called upon. Given Wentz’s familiarity with the offense and having played in a similar system under Kevin O’Connell last season, he should be the Rams’ top backup option. If Garoppolo decides to leave Hollywood for an opportunity with another team, Wentz should be the first quarterback the front office calls. See More:
Grade the trade; Dolphins add draft picks while Broncos add Jaylen Waddle
Many of fans of the Miami Dolphins were shocked to see yesterday’s headline come across their phone and computer screens yesterday — “Jaylen Waddle traded to Denver Broncos.” Some were happy with the haul the Dolphins got in return for a player who has only gone over 1,100 yards receiving in a single season once […] Many of fans of the Miami Dolphins were shocked to see yesterday’s headline come across their phone and computer screens yesterday — “Jaylen Waddle traded to Denver Broncos.” Some were happy with the haul the Dolphins got in return for a player who has only gone over 1,100 yards receiving in a single season once since being drafted #6 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Plenty of other fans were saddened to see a beloved personality take his talents from South Florida to the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado. The Dolphins sent Waddle and a fourth round pick to the Broncos in return for a 1st round pick (30th overall) in the 2026 NFL Draft, plus 3rd and 4th round selections this year as well. Miami now owns two 1st round picks, one 2nd round pick, and four 3rd round picks in this year’s selection process — 7 selections within the first 100 picks. It’s truly monster number for a team desperate to rebuild following the failed tenures of general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel. However, as things stand now, Miami’s wide receiver room lacks a true alpha pass catcher who can change games in favor of the Dolphins, and new quarterback Malik Willis will have to be evaluated without significant offensive weaponry besides running back De’Von Achane. Chris Cwik of Yahoo Sports provided his commentary shortly following yesterday’s swap between Denver and Miami — and the results weren’t kind to the Dolphins. He gave the Broncos a “B” for the deal, but Miami only secured a “C” from the writer — with Cwik citing Miami’s offense being “bereft of talent” following the trade. It’s a move that leaves the Dolphins’ offense mostly bereft of talent. Star running back De’Von Achane is still around … but he should also be a trade candidate considering he’s entering the final year of his contract. Things could get worse in Miami before they get better. Nate Davis of USA Today named winners and losers of the monumental deal, and had Willis coming out on the losing end of the trade. Miami’s newly signed QB1 doesn’t have an obvious WR1 at this point in time. Maybe the added draft capital eventually resolves that, especially in a year when there seems to be both encouraging quality and quantity at the position. But in the interim, Willis will be throwing to guys this spring unlikely to have a high-end impact in the fall. However, Davis did list new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and new head coach Jeff Hafley as winners. Miami’s nascent brain trust – Sullivan the newly hired GM and Hafley the head coach, both imports from the Green Bay Packers – gets some added juice for what is an obvious rebuild. The win-loss record may not be pretty in 2026, when the Dolphins will also be working off most of their Tua Tagovailoa salary cap debt. But owning three of the draft’s top 43 picks should provide a needed infusion of youth and talent with brighter days hopefully ahead. ___ So… What do you think? How would you grade the Dolphins and Broncos trade yesterday that saw Miami gain a ton of draft capital, but also saw the organization give up one of their most explosive pieces on offense?
