Please note before reading: I wrote this draft before the first round of the playoffs so, obviously, Denver won’t be selecting at that spot so all the picks down the line are also affected. Also Ryan Tannehill’s and Nick Toon’s injury will undoubtedly hurt their draft stocks but this was written before that but that will be reflected in the next version of the draft. [...]

Here lies the season of the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have been,perennially, a playoff team since Peyton Manning came into his third season with the team. Now this year’s Colts team has secured the worst season record in the team’s history and nearly joined the 2008 Detroit Lions and the expansion Bucs as the third team to go winless in a full season.

Here lies the season of the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins were a promising team back in 2008 when the “wildcat” offense was new and the phins were in the playoffs. But, since then they have fallen back into the den of inequity from whence they came and this year seems to be the franchises worst yet. Cause of Death: 1. A lack of support from [...]

The lockout is over now there will be a rush of new information coming of teams resigning their players as well as one of the most under rated parts of the NFL off season, undrafted free agent signings. There is a long, long, list of players over the years who were undrafted free agents who came on to their teams and had pro bowl and [...]

Round 1, Pick 4 (4) A.J. Green WR 6’4″ 211 Georgia Grade: A AJ Green is the best player in this draft in my opinion with Patrick Peterson a close second. He is the best WR to come out since Calvin Johnson and the second best since Andre Johnson. He has great hands and the ability to go up and make catches. Has amazing body [...]

Round 1, Pick 15 (15) Mike Pouncey OL 6’5″ 303 Florida Grade B: Pouncey got a huge jump in his draft stock from the success of his brother but he is the best guard or center in this draft strong and can get a good push off the line this was in my opinion the biggest need for the Dolphins. The [...]

Round 2, Pick 16 (48) Stefen Wisniewski OL 6’3″ 313 Penn St. Grade: B I Really like Wisniewski as a player he is technically sound with a nasty demeanor. Has good weight to him and gives a good punch at the point of attack I could easily see Wisniewski starting day one at center for the Raiders under Hugh Jackson. Round 3, Pick 17 (81) [...]

The 6-10 Detroit Lions have become relevant once again in the NFL. Head Coach Jim Schwartz and GM Martin Mayhew has purged the stink of the Matt Millen era to the point where national analysts are starting to talk about the Lions being a playoff contender in the 2011 season. The last time the Lions went 6-10 was when Rod Marinelli was the head coach [...]

The Green Bay Packers did not enter the offseason with many glairing needs so depth was the top thing on the menu for the current Super Bowl Champions. That is what they got. I would expect one starter in 2011 some depth and a good returner and some special teams talent out of this draft. When picking 32 overall that isn’t anything to sneeze at.
