How high could Mike Iupati go?
We haven’t seen an offensive guard go in the top 20 picks since the Seahawks selected Steve Hutchinson 17th overall in 2001. That could change this year with Mike Iupati. Iupati’s size (6’5″, 331 lbs) makes him look like a prototypical mauler. He’s big, physical and plays with a nasty demeanor. He has all the [...]
How the Donovan McNabb trade could impact the draft
We’ve heard all sorts of crazy rumors about Donovan McNabb over the past two weeks. Based on the number of trade rumors out there, it would certainly seem as though he’s headed out of Philly sooner rather than later. But rather than break down where he may end up, lets take a look at how [...]
Could the Seahawks or 49ers make a move for Bradford?
Sam Bradford was impressive at his workout on Monday. But personally, I’m not concerned with how Bradford looked. The fact that he showed up and completed the workout without showing any significant lingering issues with his shoulder was enough. What I do find interesting about his workout, however, is who showed up. As expected the [...]
Patriots searching for the next Tom Brady
Given Tom Brady’s age (33 in August) and recent knee injury, one would think it’d be a good idea to bring in a veteran backup. Yet Bill Belichick insists on filling the need for a backup signal caller through the draft. Since 2007, the Patriots backups have been almost exclusively home grown – Matt Cassel, [...]
5 players with an outside shot at the top 10
Every year there are one or two players that sneak into the top 10 on draft day despite rarely showing up that high in mock drafts. Last year it was Darrius Heyward-Bey, in ’08 it was Derrick Harvey, in ’07 it was Ted Ginn Jr., in ’06 it was Donte Whitner… the list goes on. [...]
Dolphins showing strong interest in free safeties
Last week I suggested that the Dolphins could target Taylor Mays in the 1st round. At the time it was pure speculation based on Bill Parcells’ draft history and their need for a free safety. But now there appears to be some validity to my prediction. The Dolphins are showing a strong interest in this [...]
All-Overrated Draft Prospects Team
QB – Tim Tebow, Florida Someone’s going to take him in the 1st or 2nd round, and they’re going to have to wait at least 2 years before he’s ready to start at quarterback (if he’s ever ready). RB – C.J. Spiller, Clemson He’s not the next Chris Johnson. The next Leon Washington is more [...]
Could Raiders target Jason Pierre-Paul?
We all know all Davis loves freak athletes. Many have assumed that fact, combined with a dire need for a left tackle, would lead him to Bruce Campbell. I had initially speculated after the combine that Jason Pierre-Paul could be an option. However, after they traded for Kamerion Wimbley, I backed off that prediction. At [...]
Clausen sweepstakes narrowed to 5 teams
This offseason has been filled with nothing but bad news for Jimmy Clausen. Its tough to say his stock is actually falling, because he hasn’t done anything wrong. But the teams potentially interested in him are falling off fast. First the Seahawks traded for Charlie Whitehurst, then the Browns said they flat-out weren’t interested. I [...]
Could Dolphins target Taylor Mays?
I’ve had the Dolphins paired up with Dan Williams in my mock draft for about a month now. He would fill their need for a nose tackle, which is greater than ever now that Jason Ferguson is suspended for the first half of the 2010 season. But what if he’s not on the board? The [...]
