Kevin O'Connell had a really neat play calling sequence in the Vikings game against the Dolphins. I broke it down in my latest for Wide Left.

Now that Kyler Murray has officially been named the Vikings starter, will he, uh, be good in 2026?
Read my extensive breakdown, including a full scouting report, charting data, and a lot of musing on if Murray will work in an under center, PA scheme.

At Wide Left, @ArifHasanNFL and I co-wrote a comprehensive piece on Caleb Banks, breaking down everything from the draft position, the injury, the athleticism, the production, and the tape. Everything you need to know about the player, all in one place.

What I've found most frustrating about the recent consensus board discourse is the level of nuance Arif himself applies when using it. This contains a great example of that nuance. The draft is an inexact science.
Breaking down the Caleb Banks pick @FriesFootball and I cowrote an exhaustive article breaking down the player, diving into analyst reactions, his medical history, production profile, athleticism and a lengthy film breakdown

It is not sufficient to say a pick/draft was bad because it went against consensus. It's also not sufficient to say a draft was good because "the team has a plan for the players."
Drafting against consensus raises a red flag, just like age, injury, and production are red flags.
