TRENDING DOWN

Veteran trades: DeAndre Hopkins is still anArizona Cardinal. Dalvin Cook and Za'Darius Smith remain in Minnesota.The Bengals still have Jonah Williams, as expected, and the Bucs aren't dealing Devin White. Derrick Henry and RyanTannehill appear locked into theTitans' roster. Trey Lance is still a 49er, Mac Jones isn't facing any new competition, much less a new playbook, and Lamar Jackson got a contract, not a trade. Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy remain with the Broncos.

Sure, there were a few small moves. D'Andre Swift is headed from one crowded backfield to another after joining the Eagles in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick and change. Broncos coach Sean Payton brought in former Saints tight endAdamTrautman for the price of a lateround pick swap. But most of the biggest potential trades didn't happen and didn't generate a lot of buzz. It's possible one or more of the names above could still move before the season, but trade enthusiasts can probably nap until training camp.

Draft speculation: Can we have all the time back we spent hearing about C.J. Stroud's potential draft fall, theTexans not taking a quarterback at No. 2 and the Colts' strong affinity for Will Levis? Bill Belichick also appeared to pull a fast one with the quarterback buzz coming out of New England, which did not end up drafting a signal-caller. Sanity reigned at the top of the draft; the top five picks were completely logical. But logic went out the window when it came to much of the bad predraft speculation.

Kenneth Walker fantasy owners: UCLA's Zach Charbonnet was perhaps the most complete back in this draft except for Bijan Robinson (who went eighth overall to the Falcons). In Seattle, Charbonnet is going to get plenty of playing time next to Walker, a former second-round pick in his own right, to the frustration of fantasy owners.

The Broncos' side of the Russell Wilson trade: If Wilson doesn't dramatically improve in 2023, this deal is going down like Herschel Walker to the Vikings.

Sean Payton has done everything possible to help Wilson in Denver this offseason, investing in the offensive line and adding to the Broncos' considerable receiver depth with Marvin Mims (No. 63 overall) in the second round. Even if Wilson bounces back to above average in 2023, though, the contract, draft picks and time the Broncos gave up to get him probably won't be worth it.
