The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

90%

Examples:

  • Detroit realized this issue and attacked it aggressively in the draft. Somehow, the Lions were able to steal defensive back Terrion Arnold at pick No. 24.
  • That's what the Packers did with the selection of Edgerrin Cooper. The dude is fun to watch as he consistently demolishes ball carriers on tape.
  • The Bears had a fantastic draft and even the most bleeding purple-heart Vikings fans out there have to admit it. They secured who many believe to be the best quarterback prospect to come out since Andrew Luck, and that is the first real worry for Minnesota.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • Joined: Jan 17, 2019 A longtime writer and vice president of operations for www.draftseason.com. I absolutely love the NFL Draft and bleed purple from every orifice.

Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • If these two reach their potential, it's like having to contend with the Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams duo all over again. That's great news for the Bears but a horrible turn of events for the Vikings.
  • Somehow, the Lions were able to steal defensive back Terrion Arnold at pick No. 24... He's a former safety who can lay a big hit. He's also extremely sticky in coverage and has a knack for coming down with the ball in his mitts.
  • The Lions' secondary was so poor. Detroit realized this issue and attacked it aggressively in the draft.
  • The Packers did with the selection of Edgerrin Cooper. The dude is fun to watch as he consistently demolishes ball carriers on tape.
  • Williams is coming into a great situation in Chicago. They have vastly improved their receiving corps...
