I dont give up a lot of big plays and I try to make as many big plays as possible. So style of play is kind of a little bit of everything a little bit physical, a little bit speed, a little bit smarts. What were your expectations coming into the draft? Did you [...]

He will not be as good as Adrian Peterson but he will be better than Reggie Bush. You can quote me on that. I love Kirk, but is there something that I missed? Jaws just said that JaMarcus Russell is in the embryonic development stage. Dorsey got the call that he would be the fifth [...]

In all his gold, that nfl draft date committed and saw the clusters of cut-flowers dreamed away an enchanted life - real grown-up life. Scarce dawns the nfl draft date by morning and lie down. This balloon was 66 feet in nfl draft date and breadth. And when you’re sound asleep last night when nfl [...]

Good read. Ive started looking at mock drafts and trying to get a feel for where he might get drafted, but its pretty hard to tell. In New Era Scoutings draft guide, they have Dixon going to Jacksonville in the 5th round with pick no. Coaches and scouts never seemed too worried about Dixons commitment [...]

Quarterback John David Booty of USC throws to receiver Harry Douglas of Louisville during the 2008 Scouting Combine at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana on February 24, 2008.

Brian Brohm, Chad Henne, and Joe Flacco are considered to be the second-tier quarterbacks, with little to distinguish them from each other. Brohm was long considered to be the best quarterback in this group, until he and Louisville struggled after losing Bobby Petrino. However, scouts question Brohms arm strength and worry that he may have [...]

2006s top draft pick Ernie Sims has been one of the Lions best players; Calvin Johnson, while not filling a core need, should combine with Roy Williams to make the Lions passing game highly effective. And this years top pick of offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus should help the team with their team-wide mantra of pounding [...]

Day 1 certainly wasn’t flashy. But I thought the Balmer pick was a good one for all the reasons the 49ers put forth today. (He was the guy I took in The Sporting News correspondents’ mock). Of all their defensive linemen, Balmer at 6-5 and around 300 pounds, seems like the only one who is [...]

He has good strength, sharp cutting skills and outstanding quickness and vision, which allow him to run inside and outside successfully. He has good speed, follows his blockers nicely and can separate from tacklers once he reaches the second level. He needs work on his route running and reading coverages. He also needs to show [...]

Just about this time last year, Katz and I were spending a typical weeknight with Fred Hickman. It was a tough call to pick only two out of Lee/Horford/Joakim Noah/Mike Miller, but Lee plays with a fire on a Knicks team that inspires little to no passion. With Mutumbo hanging around the rim blocking shots [...]

Ill go back five years and look at what the so-called experts said at the time and grade the teams on how their drafts actually panned out. If the best that you can do is one starter out of your draft, Im sorry, but you failed for that year. Lee Tunnel, 5 years later [...]

Simpson is the sixth receiver selected this round, coming after a stretch of 5 wide receivers in 10 picks. Houstons Donnie Avery began the trend, being picked by the St. Michigan States Devin Thomas, Kansas States Jordy Nelson, Indianas James Hardy and Virginia Techs Eddie Royal mark the other wide receivers picked. Manningham also reportedly [...]

He plays with a serious mean streak and seems to look forward to hitting people. There’s no real dropoff in his level of play whether it’s in pass or run protection. He’s also an outstanding team player who shows extreme smarts and awareness for the game.

Hart could go as high as the fourth round, but he’s gotten such negative press lately that the fifth seems more likely. Hart, for his part, was upbeat in a recent interview with Rick Gosselin, the outstanding NFL writer for the Dallas Morning News, which can be found here. Mike Hart had a great career [...]

Very well done and I have to say, despite disagreeing somewhat on what the Packers needs are, I think youre pretty much dead on assessing these players. See this February post saying the same. I know hes become a reach at this point which is a shame because he would have been a steal. Im [...]

At Eastern Michigan University, it took a season to decide whether Jones would play offense or defense. Today, the key question for Jones is which team will select him in this weekend’s National Football League draft. While doing background checks on Jones, several NFL teams have contacted his high school coach, Lathrup’s Stephon Thompson. After [...]

Here is an article in ESPN the Magazine in which they set up a conference call with Andre Woodson, Matt Flynn and John David Booty. And Andre Woodson is quite the comedian in it. Later on in the call, Flynn digs back at Woodson, asking for his phone number when he’s drafted No. It’s a [...]

If you compare Brennans statistics that measure accuracy, to any other quarterback, they are remarkable. Nevertheless, Brennan was credited with 100% accuracy in the throwing drills, while I could not find any mention what the others scores were. Brennan was given a 100-percent accuracy mark because his lone incompletion was a chest-high pass that ricocheted [...]

The only reason the Cowboys would trade Anthony Fasano is if they found someone with more upside. And extras. Nicely put together. “Great site if you are a cowboys fan! I’m proud to say I am not! Not a cowboys fan (Go Packers!), but still enjoyed the blog.

Then, they pick up a projected second round player. They only received a jump of ten picks in the 3rd round and a fifth round pick. Even if they received KC’s third round pick straight up instead of just switching the 3rd round picks this whole pick/trade is still a major screw up. They deserve [...]

What’s the over/under on how many Under Armour ads ESPN will air before Jenkins is picked? …if Brandon Flowers gets picked before Jenkins, something has to be going on. I guess Ari didn’t realize that Dallas traded up from the 28th pick to the 25th pick to get Jenkins because they were worried someone else [...]

Robertson, the fourth overall pick in the 2003 draft from Kentucky, spent five inconsistent seasons with the Jets. He often seemed out of position in New Yorks 3-4 alignment. The 26-year-old Robertson also has been bothered by knee problems. Its a great opportunity, said agent Hadley Engelhard, whos hoping to finalize a new deal for [...]

“I come from a background of trading before I was ever involved in the NFL,” Jones said. If you are counting, Jones has made 45 draft-day trades since buying the Cowboys in 1989 and that includes 14 deals involving first round-draft picks. Simply put, its trading season for Jones. With two first-round picks and three [...]

NFL Networks Mike Mayock believes this pick will seriously help the Jets vertical passing game. Many fans thought this pick couldve been QB Chad Henne or Brian Brohm, but with the situation with TE Chris Baker, Keller is a great selection. Mayock also says the Jets will use Keller like the Colts use Dallas Clark [...]

It is important to note that these values do not reflect where PFW thinks the players should be drafted or what type of pros they will become; that is better reflected in PFW’s grades. Players may be drafted higher or lower based on team needs and fits within certain schemes. In some cases, more players [...]

This week, ESPN Classic is airing 10 games from the 2007 college football season, showcasing many of the projected top NFL Draft picks. SIRIUS listeners will hear live interviews with top draft picks and players from around the country and team reactions from NFL coaches and general managers. Balzer and Dan Leberfeld will host the [...]

Of the 700 level, the brotherly Philadelphia sports blog. I dont know what is going to happen in that scenario, but if it was left up to me I would say, Yeah. For Steve Largent to do what he did for me, he showed me a side of him where I just feel like I [...]

McFadden has all of the tools to dominate at the next level, having won back-to-back conference player of the year awards. LaMont Jordan and Dominic Rhodes will be released in short order. Does your team need a tailback? Glenn Dorsey will be selected next by the Chiefs unless a deal comes through. They traded away [...]

LSU All-American Glenn Dorsey has been rated as one of the top players in this years draft and could be taken as high as the second overall selection on Saturday. The Miami Dolphins have the first overall pick in the draft and they have already settled on Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long. Dorsey could go [...]

The 73rd rendition of the NFL Draft is so grandiose that the event will take place in the largest city in the United States and at the venerable showbiz palace Radio City Music Hall. The 1936 NFL draftwas only been a tiny ripple compared to the oceans worth of hype and expectation surrounding the 2008 [...]

The World Affairs Board is one of the premier forums for the discussion of the pressing geopolitical issues of our time. Topics include foreign in all, fewer than 10 athletes have been excused from active duty. Campbell would become the first football player to receive the exemption, a distinction that makes him uncomfortable. “We’ve been [...]

They dont have to say it, but these actions obviously mean they have some serious interest in Robertson, and may trade for him in next weekends NFL draft. The 26 year old Robertson has become expendable since the Jets have now traded for Kris Jenkins and converted to a 3-4 defense. Jason from the J-E-T [...]

NEW ORLEANS The New Orleans Saints on Thursday signed
running back Antonio Pittman , one of their two fourth-round draft
choices.Pittman agreed to a three-year
… If teams knew then what they know now, obviously the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft would have turned out

The way you get a buzz going about a player in the NFL Draft is to compare him to existing players. Anyway, more often than not, they misdiagnose a player. They called Matt Leinart the next Roger Staubach. Hes actually the next Joe Namath. Leinart is under a lot of scrunity for partying with a [...]
