Is Jake Locker still a 1st-round pick?
Throughout his career the Jake Locker apologists have pointed to his lack of surrounding talent as an excuse for his poor performances on the field. As I said once the Senior Bowl rosters were announced, and other agreed, with players like Titus Young and Austin Pettis on his team there’s no more built-in excuse. He [...]

Jeff Fisher’s departure could impact Titans draft plans
My immediate reaction to the surprising Jeff Fisher news yesterday was: does this mean Vince Young is staying? ESPN’s Adam Schefter quickly put an end to that possibility, at which point my mind turned to their draft. The Titans have been a fairly well-run organization from top to bottom during the Jeff Fisher era, but owner [...]
Senior Bowl notes, thoughts, rumors

First of all, Cutler had clear NFL-talent and was viewed as a potential 1st-round pick long before the [...]
Broncos draft plans hinge on Champ Bailey’s decision?
Conventional wisdom says the Broncos will address their defense with the 2nd-overall selection in April’s draft. This likely means deciding between Nick Fairley, Da’Quan Bowers and Patrick Peterson. At the moment, defensive line looks like their most pressing need. However, that could all change if Champ Bailey decides to leave once free agency opens (if [...]
Panthers GM giving up on Clausen?
Marty Hurney, the guy who drafted Jimmy Clausen 48th overall in the 2010 draft, is apparently already declaring him a bust. Despite being just one year removed from spending the team’s first pick in the draft on Clausen, Hurney stated that quarterback is the team’s “No. 1 need” this offseason. This admission gives some credibility [...]
Early star of the Senior Bowl: Phil Taylor
I’ve been a huge fan of Phil Taylor since I saw him play for the first time earlier this season. I believe he is a true nose tackle in every sense of the word and deserves to be a 1st-round pick. I currently have him as my 4th-rated defensive tackle, ahead of some much bigger [...]
