We finish the regular season in a 3-way tie for the #4 overall pick, which means we'll probably wind up with the #6. The NFC West puts on an impressive display, with only New Orleans missing the playoffs, 2 games behind the Rams. Over in the AFC, New England used a season sweep of New Jersey to beat the Jets by a game for the division.

Only in Cleveland. My 6th round pick this season, S Howie Underwood, made 82 tackles and intercepted 6 passes on the way to becoming Defensive ROY. This is probably the first true diamond in the rough I've seen, as my scout is highly rated in the secondary, and Underwood's ratings just aren't that impressive. His run/pass defense ratings are 18/43 and 26/51, respectively, and he has a 40 rating in INTs. I wonder if my scout was really that far off about his potential, or if the horrible defense inflated his numbers.
