The 2016 RotoViz Scouting Index (RSI) has recently been updated, and there has been some change in the running back rankings, but not at the top of the board.

Shortly before Texas Tech’s loss to Louisiana State in the Texas Bowl, I wrote a draft profile on Tech redshirt senior wide receiver Jakeem Grant, noting his similarities to Tech predecessor Wes Welker, his differences from Tech receivers who had underperformed in the NFL, and ultimately his status as an “Arians receiver.” Read the original article for fuller analysis.

Shortly before Alabama’s demolition of Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl, I wrote a draft profile for Alabama junior running back Derrick Henry, arguing that Henry has the strong potential to be pick 1.01 in most rookie drafts. Read the original article for fuller analysis. This piece is merely an update. Bottom line: Almost nothing has changed. Henry is still a strong candidate to be…...

Recently, the man behind the RotoViz curtain published (yet another) apologia for Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess — because it wasn’t enough for (some of) us (not named “Matthew Freedman”) to lead you astray last year. If you want to think of this as a rap battle that I’m destined to lose, that’s cool. I prefer to think of this as the return of the…...
