It's hard to blame him really. His DD was supposed to be Talib..

Note to NCAA RB's: Learn to pass protect, catch the ball and do them both well. Sincerely, LaGarrette Blount, Brandon Jacobs, and Michael Turner

Mathews could absolutely be the #1 RB in the NFL in 2012. His HC is almost contractually obligated to say such things. Rivers could also be the #1 QB in the NFL. Gates could also be the #1 TE in the NFL. Only problem is... Gates and Mathews have both earned the injury-prone label. The other...

If my math is correct, he'll still be under the magical 30-year old barrier for RB's in 2017. For a guy who does most of his damage outside the tackles and on short/intermediate passes, and will rarely exceed 300 carries in that offense, I actually like his chances to earn this entire deal...

You can't predict injuries. Nobody can. But you can adopt a draft strategy like I've done which devalues "injury-prone" guys slightly because they have an established track record. Just like uber-productive durable guys have an established track record on the other hand. To bring this whole...

As long as Stafford and Megatron are healthy for 16 games, this team shouldn't ever be below 8-8. These distractions and perceived lack of institutional control by management, however, could prevent them from ever breaking through the Super Bowl glass ceiling. Which is unfortunate since they...

At least he can get the number for a good foot doctor from his RB. Actually since this seems to be an isolated injury as opposed to a condition, if the break heals cleanly he may never have a long term issue like Bradshaw's had. But at some point after having a litany of "isolated injuries", a...

Well said, eF. From an optimistic standpoint, the Jenkins news is just a blip on the radar, and will (hopefully) right itself once he gets in with the veteran pros and feels some peer pressure to take better care of himself. Fortunately, it's also not a huge issue because he was a luxury pick...

You have a chance at being a high selection in the NFL Draft, go to a decent team in the mid-late 1st round, skating on thin ice because you already have a small smudge on your character record due to NCAA violations, and you can't will yourself to NOT puff the hippy lettuce leading up to the...

I have Pittsburgh taking Kevin Zeitler out of Wisconsin @ 24, but I'm a huge advocate of them trading down into the late 1st/early 2nd and accruing an extra 2nd rounder. They can still (probably) get Zeitler or Amini Silatolu out of Midwestern St with that pick, then snag Alameda Ta'amu, NT...

They got Wallace in the 3rd round. This draft is so ridiculously deep at WR, finding the next Wallace in the 4th/5th is a very real possibility. If Sanders can ever stay healthy, he and Brown can be a legit 1/2 punch for years. Cotchery's nice because he just shows up with a lunch pail...

Thank you, Cerb, for echoing what I've been frustrated about for weeks. Cleveland and Miami are almost assuredly headed for top-10 draft picks next year and have caretakers at QB for the time being. Why not use this draft and next offseason to put a few pieces in place so when you can grab a...

I personally have Blackmon to the Rams, Floyd to the Dolphins, Wright to the Bears, Stephen Hill to the Texans. That's my top-4, in that order. Next wave starts at the beginning of round 2 with the Vikings taking Jeffrey, Sanu to the Jags, and Randle to the Panthers. A guy I like a ton who I...

I've used them as a source for about 6 years to compile my mock draft and Steeler draft articles. I enjoy the fact that they project into the following year's draft so I can see what teams that pass on a position this year may have to choose from if they're in rebuild mode.

That's actually true. Some of them stomp on defenseless opponents and pick fights with opposing head coaches during postgame handshakes. I can buy the "they're just kids" excuse if it was one incident. But when you do it again within a couple months, then don't make your court date, then your...

Flacco's not much different than Trent Dilfer, who won a ring for this team. All he really has to do is manage the game, hand it to Rice, and not make dumb judgement calls (like saying you're better than Rodgers, Brady, Brees, etc). Problem is, this defense is aging and eventually he'll need...

Because they both have a history of weed busts

Palmer's still got 3-4 years of his prime left, but how good is that really? Seems to me like he had one really elite level season and he's been living off of that ever since. This team's picked high very often, but how many of those guys amounted to anything? The level of draft ineptitude of...

On a side note, this all but eliminates the possibility they'll take either Janoris Jenkins or Dre Kirkpatrick with their 1st round pick which is unfortunate since they desperately need a CB.

Flynn's starting, period. I fail to see where the legitimate argument is there. I'm ruling out any young guys who are backups, but widely considered the future QB. (Locker, Kaepernick, maybe Skelton) Hate to go chalk, but the backup who gives his team the best chance to win if the starter goes...
