Beat: NFL Draft, prospect evaluation, scheme fit, college tape

Danny Kowalski heads draft coverage for NFLRumors.us, breaking down prospects, scheme fits, and the long arc of NFL roster construction. His analysis blends combine numbers, college tape, and historical comparisons to past draft classes to give readers a complete picture of why a player projects the way he does. Danny writes in the warm, storytelling tradition of Rich Eisen, treating every prospect as part of the broader sweep of football history rather than a checkbox on a draft board.
