A few days ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded Santonio Holmes to the New York Jets for a fifth-round pick. Holmes, a former first-round pick, was coming off his best year as a pro, finishing with over 1200 yards. The former Ohio State product had also been a big hero during Super Bowl XLIII, winning MVP [...]
There is a growing conception in the media that Tim Tebow’s stock is rising. He has shown that, with only limited amounts of practice. he can adopt to a pro-style throwing motion. He also has the intangible leadership skills that many teams covet.
But any team thinking of drafting him in the top-ten, both the Bills [...]
Last summer, the Washington Redskins made a splashy move by signing Albert Haynesworth, widely considered the prize of the free agent pool, to a ridiculous $100 million deal, with $41 million guarenteed.
Now, just a year later, Washington is apparently unhappy with their purchase. So unhappy that they tried to trade Haynesworth for Donovan McNabb, a [...]
Every season in the NFL, a few teams seem to completely turnaround from a disastrous previous season. In the past four years alone, there has been an average of three teams a season that have gone from a losing record in one year to the playoffs in the next.
The exact nature of the turnaround can [...]
Yesterday I posted an update of my first-round mock draft, without explanations. For those interested in why certain changes were made, here are short explanations for each of the modifications.
1. St. Louis takes Bradford – This appears to be close to a done deal.
2. Detroit takes Suh – The natural pick if they can’t trade [...]
A week or two ago, I posted the first full mock draft for the first round. Here is an update of that mock.
St. Louis Rams – Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Detroit Lions – Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
Oakland Raiders* – Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
Kansas City Chiefs – Eric Berry, [...]
Never in a million years did I, or really anyone, think that the Eagles would trade quarterback Donovan McNabb to their division rivals, the Washington Redskins. After all, the move guarantees that McNabb will play against the Eagles twice a season, and have his fair shot at revenge on the team he excelled on for [...]
In past posts, I have expressed my distaste for the popular belief that any team looking for a quick fix should draft a quarterback. I still believe that a team with as many holes as the St. Louis Rams have shouldn’t be thinking about throwing an inexperienced quarterback onto the field. But apparently, the Rams [...]
In my first mock draft, finished yesterday, I projected the Minnesota Vikings trading away their first-round pick for Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb, who has spent his entire career thus far with the Eagles, has long been on the rocks with Philadelphia fans and upper management for his inability to lead the talented team [...]

For the past week or so, I have been systematically updating the blog with draft projections, trades included. Like all first drafts, there are parts I like, and other parts I can see as needing adjustments. Thus every week between now and the actual NFL draft, I will repost my mock with changes noted.
For now, [...]
