Actually I think it matters a great deal. It can be used as an example where a team thought that the on field performance was good enough to ignore the size issue and they were wrong. It can be a cautionary tale for others who are on the smallish side.

Yes, I agree the battle is mostly at the bottom. I am just real interested in how it works out now though, more then I was before the draft. I didn't know Holiday was cut, that is interesting. I guess they didn't think he would improve much? So you throw in the draft picks and now you have two more WRs in the undrafted FA signings..... Quote:
I really like that they went out and signed a guy for the long snapper spot. Packers haven't had to worry about that about as long as QB.

I too have been looking for this unsuccessfully. The Lions appeared to make any number of trades and I couldn't keep track. Edit: This link appears to summarize all of them: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/...aft-Trades.php

Drew Brees is the Chase Daniel model, and I don't think there is any doubt that as a QB Daniel is better than Brees. Is there a correlation between height and success as a QB in the NFL? Anecdotally you could certainly say that the list of "great" NFL quarterbacks taller than 6-2 is longer than the list of "great" QBs shorter than that. But there are plenty of successful 6-0 and 6-1 QBs around, even in the NFL right now. And I know Chase is taller than Doug Flutie. But here's the reverse of the argument about height -- Joey Harrington is 6-4. Being tall isn't a guarantee. At some point, it's about throwing the ball where it needs to be. I've seen Rex Grossman throw a ball and I'll argue this until the cows come home -- he doesn't throw bad passes because he's 6-1. He throws bad passes because he has no touch, no brain and no confidence. Daniel has all three in spades. |

Rex Grossman has thrown a few damn good passes in his time, but the guy just plain sucks overall. I agree that is more about his other 'attributes' and not about his height.

Some of the questions from the Wonderlic Test:
1. If the Ohio State tailback gets $42,000 from a Buckeye booster but the Escalade he wants is $57,000, he should: a) Buy a different SUV b) Take a job he doesn't have to show up for from another booster to cover the difference c) Ask Maurice Clarett to borrow one for him d) Transfer to an SEC school with more generous boosters 2. Texas A&M scores 46 points against Miami in a bowl game. How many staff members will Larry Coker fire the next week? 3. If Joe Paterno's team loses a close game, how long before his players will be allowed to talk to the media again? Bonus: How long will Penn State fans complain on their message boards? 4. Which of these numbers in the following group is the largest? a) 10 x 14 x 5 b) 632 c) 1,000 - 275 + 30 d) Charlie Weis' cholesterol level 5. A linebacker is 21. The underage girl he sleeps with is 16. At Tennessee, how many plays against a non-conference team would he have to miss as punishment? 6. If ESPN's Gameday crew were to go to Arkansas to cover a game, how much netting would be needed to protect Kirk, Lee and Chris Fowler from objects thrown by Razorback fans? a) none b) 200 feet c) all Home Depot sells in a three city area d) Trick question: Gameday would never go to Arkansas 7. Marcus Vick runs a 4.3 and Maurice Clarett runs a 4.48 but the 9mm Glock hidden in Vick's waistband is heavier. Who has a better chance of out-running the cops and evading arrest? 8. If the world's largest sequoia tree is almost 3,000 years old and the earth's crust is 5 billion years old, how old is Bobby Bowden if he started coaching before either? 9. If Michigan has a 12 point lead with under 9 minutes left in the game, how much time will be left on the clock when the opposing team scores the winning touchdown? a) 3 minutes b) 1 minute c) :35 seconds d) none, last play of the game and immediately named ESPN Instant Classic 10. Your team's stadium holds 96,000 fans but regularly only sells 32,000 tickets to its home games. How long will it take the team bus to drive back to Westwood? 11. Which would be more unbearable: Spending a hot day in the stall of Ralphie, the Colorado Buff mascot, or driving across Kansas in a vinyl-seated, non-air conditioned '73 Nova with Jayhawks coach Mark Mangino. Explain. 12. If you watch two hours of ESPN pre-game, four hours of post-game and six versions of SportsCenter during which Beano Cook appears 15% of each broadcast, how many times will you want to gouge your eyes out with a tongue depressor? 13. Floyd of Rosedale is: a) Barney Fife's neighbor from the old ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW b) The current WWF champion c) A college football trophy as coveted as winning a giant stuffed animal at the state fair 14. If a Onepeat.com LSU fan wastes 60% of each day stewing over the shared title with USC in 2003, how many hours will he have left each week to not date women? 15. The ninth month of the year is: a) June b) January c) November d) The time when the Kappa Kappa Gamma girls arrive back on campus to start doing your homework again EXTRA CREDIT: If Lou Holtz is brought in to rebuild your program, how many years of NCAA probation will your school receive when he leaves?

FWIW Tebow is only a Junior and from what I've heard, has no plans on leaving early.

Myron Rolle is not a first round safety. He is slow and beyond average.

So then based on the mock draft the Pats are going to win the Superbowl next year.

If his passing skills continue to grow like they did from his Freshman to Sophomore year, I agree completely with that statement. The kid has a good head on his shoulders and is an intelligent football player. |

I don't think there's any way Selvie is a top 15 pick unless he puts on 20 or 30 pounds and maintains his speed/quickness. He reminds me of Corey Moore of VT - amazing college DE that was just too small for the NFL. He went from All-American with all the awards to a 3rd round pick that was out of the league within 2 or 3 years.
Selvie might be one of the top 15 in college football, though. I noticed that all 32 guys on that mock are from BCS conference schools, and my guess is that it's more a ranking of talented college players rather than really projecting skills/athleticism to the next level. |

Travis Beckum is great, but it seems weird to me that he's considered an elite NFL TE prospect, because he just doesn't look like a TE. His build reminds me more of somebody like Kobe Bryant.

This mock draft is off. There is NO WAY the Lions will be drafting third. Further, why in the hell would they need to draft Wells when they'll have Rookie Of The Year, Kevin Smith at running back? FAIL. (I tried to write that with as much conviction as possible, but it's hard. Welcome to Detroit, Beanie!)

I think he could be a top TE prospect, I think it's wrong to automatically assume he will be at this point. If he shows that he can add some weight and be a better blocker while not losing speed I think he can easily be a top 15 pick, but I wouldn't just assume that he will do that. It's silly to do mock drafts at this point, but even worse when they assume players like Lydon Murtha will get a lot better and players like Beckum will automatically answer the questions that kept them from entering this years draft. |

By the way, that mock draft was done by CNN/SI, fwiw. |
