`Going Deep: First round booms or busts?
Last week we went through the top ten draft busts in the NFL’s history. I’m sure a lot of people had some qualms with my choices, but there is a countless amount of players you can make a case for. [...]
Goin’ Deep: ‘Drafting’ a new perspective
Sticking with last week’s subject of the NFL draft, we’re going to take a look at the draft from another angle. Everybody expects their first round pick to at least be a consistent contributor to their team for years to [...]
Going Deep: Big board preface to upcoming draft
This is not a mock draft. Each NFL team has their big board going into the draft, a list of where they rank the players in the draft class. To preface my mock draft that will be coming in a [...]
What did we learn in week one?: Weekly NFL recap examines season so far
The wait is finally over. After living off of the NFL top ten and Total Access since April’s draft, real football has returned. The first week showed us many things, mainly that the preseason means NOTHING. Minnesota, picked by many [...]
2010 NFL mock draft
1. St. Louis- Sam Bradford Quarterback (QB) Oklahoma: Franchise QB potential who is too tempting to pass up. With no offensive line to protect the brittle Bradford, he is set up for failure.
2. Detroit- Ndamukong Suh Defensive tackle (DT) Nebraska: Arguably the best player in the draft, Suh is perfect for what ails a putrid Lions defense.
Looking ahead to 2010 NBA finals
We’re finally here. After a grueling stretch of 82 games, the top 16 teams in the NBA this season have been established and the contenders have separated themselves from the pretenders. However, each remaining team has work to do as they compete to become the sole survivors when all is said and done with the 2009-2010 season. So as we march our way to the finals I will do my best, for you faithful readers, to narrow down series winners round by round until the championship. Let’s start things off with the first round in each conference.
Discussing the McNabb domino effect
As any sports fan knows, Donovan Mcnabb is now a Washington Redskin. The shock was not that number five got traded, but it was that it was within the division. While the Birds did pick up the 37th overall pick in the draft I have a very hard time believing that this was the right decision.
The team is not that far away from a ring and to get rid of Mcnabb in hopes that unproven Kevin Kolb will lead them to the promised land is ludicrous. Through all of the hoopla of Mcnabb becoming a Skin there was one person who suffered more than anyone out of this whole ordeal, Jimmy Clausen.
Franchise quarterbacks hardly a dime a dozen
This year’s NFL draft will be shown in primetime with the first round on Thursday night and the second and third round on Friday evening. The spotlights are brighter than ever before and undoubtedly they will shine brightest on the quarterbacks.
Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen are going to go through a month of intense scrutiny leading up to April 22. There is a never-ending search for the coveted franchise quarterback. Bradford and Clausen are seen as the elite quarterbacks in an otherwise weak year for the position, thus helping their stock immensely. Since 2000, 26 quarterbacks have gone in the first round of the draft, 16 of which went in the first half of the first round. Interestingly enough, 13 of the 26 are not full time starters; this shows what a crap-shoot the NFL draft can be.
