Now the Lions have released safety Kenoy Kennedy.
He sucks.

Atlanta would be better off with something derived from picking their nose than having excrement like Meangelo on the team.

Sort of an interesting move: The Eagles signed DT Dan Klecko from the Colts where he also played as a short yardage FB. The Eagles plan on converting him to a full time FB. They should hit the trim down button come training camp to help him make the move.

He was always an undersized DT. He played at maybe 260 while he was at Temple (and less while he was with me at Marlboro High School ).

I love Klecko - he just seems like a guy that would have fit in with any team in any era, including the 1860s Harvard Crimson. The Pats used him all over both sides of the ball and he was a fan favorite. |

The main reason I hate the Denver Donkeys is because of Mike Shanahan. I had never, ever liked that weasel-faced, beady-eyed twerp. Apparently someone died and made him king so he could fire the GM. Now he let perhaps the most popular player go (Elam) when I believe he was waiting around for them to make a good offer.
With Vick and Hall, as well as Petrino, gone, I may become a Falcons fan yet. |

Sadly, it will be spun into he was released because of the legal problems, and not because he flat out sucked. That would mean they'd be admitting the screwed up in the first place in signing him.

The 49ers lose their 5th round pick and they have to swap 3rd round picks with the Bears.

I am pretty sure that role of fast #5 WR who should be a good KR guy but is always hurt and has yet to make a play in Black & Gold is already locked up by Willie Reid.

Things I noted were that only a 15-yard face mask penalty exists now, there's no more "was the receiver forced out of bounds" rule, and the hair rule wasn't passed... |

• A direct snap from center that goes backward will now be treated as a fumble. Previously, it was ruled a false start.
I never did understand this one. If the snap starts the play, how can the rest of the team's lack of movement cause a false start?

The force out rule going away should be good. Although they should have considered changing it to 1 foot down if you're in contact with a defender. Now DB's will be able to drill people on the sidelines.

well here is my first, well second, mock draft
1. Miami – Jake Long, OT, Michigan -I don’t believe it will be Dorsey, McFadden, or Ryan so it comes down to the two Long’s, Gholston the wild card. Chris Long is a fine player but Jake Long at LT fills a more premier need. Plus I’m buying the rumors that the Fins are negotiating with Jake 2. St. Louis – Chris Long, DE, Virginia -Could be Dorsey here but Chris Long is the safe blue collar pick to fit the new Rams 3. Atlanta – Glen Dorsey, DT, LSU -Certainly Matt Ryan makes a lot of sense but DT is an equally big need for the Falcons. Plus Dorsey likely carries a higher grade then Ryan on their board. Another factor is this a much deeper QB draft class then a thin DT class 4. Oakland – Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio St. -Really tough pick. I had changed my mind from Darren McFadden to Vernon Gholston and then changed back to McFadden, and now I’ve changed back to Gholston who flashed some serious speed in his own right and is rumored to be high on the Raiders draft board. When all is said and done I wouldn’t be surprised if Oakland took Sedrick Ellis 5. Kansas City – Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC -The Chiefs really do need OL help and Branden Albert was in the mix all the way to the end but Sedrick Ellis offers the Chiefs better value at #5 overall and is going to be that force in the middle they looking for a while now 6. NY Jets – Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas -With McFadden and Ryan still on the board the Jets are sure to have calls to move up but I think they’ll drive too hard a bargain for a deal to happen. I don’t doubt the Jets have some interest in Ryan but I cant see them taking him over McFadden 7. New England – Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy -With Matt Ryan still on the board the Patriots could use him to trade down, but which team is going to want to trade up? Chicago? Carolina? No. I don’t see either team moving up for Ryan (maybe Clady). So what to do with a hot potato, the Pats bite the bullet and take the CB they prefer, and need 8. Baltimore – Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College -I don’t see the Ravens moving up for Ryan but if he falls in their lap I don’t see them passing 9. Cincinnati – Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida -Wanted to project a trade with Ryan Clady being the target but decided against doing that. For the Bengal’s it came down Rivers, Merlin, and Harvey with none of the three standing out 10. New Orleans - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee St. -Rivers in the mix again but CB is a bigger need, DRC likely rated higher 11. Buffalo – Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma -Had DRC not gone 10th to the Saints he would have made this a difficult decision for the Bills, it was a hard enough choosing which WR to take as Kelly may be slipping a bit while Michigan State’s Devon Thomas is rising 12. Denver - Ryan Clady, OT, Boise St. -Instant pick 13. Carolina – Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt -OT for sure, maybe trade up for Clady 14. Chicago – Branden Albert, OG/OT, Virginia Really tough pick, and this is my team (suppose to be easy). The Bears could trade up to get Clady but that isn’t their style. They would take Willams as plan B but he’s gone as well. I don’t see them taking Otah, Cherilus is a long shot. The real wild card here is Rashard Mendenhall, the Bears OC successfully recruited and surely will be making his case for the talented RB, I just don’t see them going RB round 1 as they seem locked in for an OT but have they drafted Albert as a LT or OG? I ran out of gas so I’m stopping for now |

Fuck, I just got scared. The 2007 draft is on the NFL Network right now. With everything else going on, I thought I forgot about it. I thought it was next weekend but this shook my confidence.
Then they were talking about Daymeion Hughes and I knew they were talking about last year. |

Why is Rogers-Cromrairtie such a big deal? He played division 1-AA and had a good senior bowl. And a great combine. How does that translate to a top 10 pick?
Is it the last name he shares with his cousin. How many of us have actually seen him play a friggin game? |

i've read that he loves football and that's worth some browney points. Pats are said to like him. i dont think there's any question his physical tools, aka potential, will be a big part of why and when he is drafted

The charts never make any sense. If there's a blue chipper QB, he's basically worth infinity points. I'd say the old one was pretty fine. Picks 17-32 are worth too much in this situation, simply cause the first 16 let you negotiate a 6 year deal.
Basically, that chart needs a lot of work still. |

Teams should stop using any sort of chart that means that Picks 1 thru whatever of one year are worth the same as the same picks of another year, when obviously the players' corresponding talent levels are different. It makes absolutely no logical sense.
If it's my team, my staff is assigning point values to players, not picks. If I need DL help but the draft is deep at that position, I'm not giving up a 3rd round pick for the difference between a guy I value as an 87 and another guy who I think is an 85. |

With all the shit the Bengals have fed to the media about him, I don't blame him. He's not a "lockerroom cancer", hes goofy. He plays hard, practices hard, and is a great football player.

So, apparently there is a decent chance of a deal being made for Jared Allen. Supposedly the Vikings and Buccaneers are interested.
May be a chance for Herm Edwards to make another first round selection. Last edited by stevew : 04-17-2008 at 03:46 PM. |
