Draft Blog Day 2

Did you listen carefully that when the pick was read PRESTON SMITH was called a LB? Not sure I see him as being that mobile. He’s also a bit light as a 5-Technique. This reminds me a lot of RYAN KERRIGAN coming out of Purdue. Home team… DA BEAS are up. It has to be a defender. Go… Read More »

Draft Blog Day 2

I’m not betting on it but the JETS could sure use an all around TE like MAXX WILLIAMS in that Offense. Just sayin’ Lots of money and effort tied up in the JETS receiving corps with this pick of DEVIN SMITH. Wake up BROWNS you needed him. Better get another WR targeted and pull her trigger RAY FARMER.… Read More »

Draft Blog Day 2

Hey REECE this is not DONOVAN McNABB it’s SMITH. Really impressed at the Senior Bowl. Plug and play RT. Two stinking picks and ESPN needs a commercial break already?! Gonna be a long nite with commercials. I have no intention to blog with every pick tonight so bear with me. I promise i am making projections before the… Read More »

Draft Blog Day 2

A big strapping S in lANDON COLLINS. THat is a solid choice and a big need for the G-Men IMO. he should have been taken last night. TJ CLEMMINGS or JAKE FISHER to protect JAMEIS?! With all the offensive needs they may have to tie LOVIE down tonight.

Draft Blog Day 2

So here we go and Uncle Colin is on the edge of his seat with news that the GIANTS have traded into the TITAN s spot at No. 33. Who they lookin at Colin? Word is that LA’EL COLLINS is indeed still in this Draft pool. Could JAELEM STRONG be the guy for the G-Men? Maybe MAXX WILLIAMS/TE… Read More »

Round 1 Random Thoughts

Round 1 is in the books from Chicago and overall not too many surprises. Clearly despite all the disclaimers most teams did indeed see Marcus Mariota as a potential Franchise QB. The TITANS had calls to trade up but their king’s ransom requests were too much for other teams to stomach. I don’t think anyone wanted to repeat… Read More »

He wasn’t good enuf for the PACK but ANTHONY can help the SAINTS. WHITEY is going to regret this decision making in Round 1. Betting on the PATS to trade out. But BROWN AT NT would help replace WILFORK. Now that Pick makes big time sense. That’s it for tonite folks. I will be posting some additional thoughts… Read More »

Gee, as I was saying about that speed reach… LUCK should one of he few QB who can actually overthrow this guy. But the questions lingers about why he didn’t touch the ball more in college. But the COLTS needed those other guys more. GRIGSON needs to do better than this. The Pack is up. I doubt it… Read More »

I really liked this kid, TOMLINSON, both on and off the field during Senior Bowl week, but the LIONS could have traded down again and still have gotten him in Round 2. Martin Mayhew may finally come under some serious scrutiny in Detroit if his Draft class is weak again this year. The COLTS have multiple places they… Read More »

Now that’s the kind of reach that the ‘Boys have made over the years under GM JERRY JONES. I think he’s got a better shot to play S as a pro. Now how about MALCOM BROWN/DT to the LIONS to pair inside with a guy named NGATA. Watch out for someone to reach for a bit for speed… Read More »

In defense of the PANTHERS Pick of SHAQ THOMPSON, their biggest need of OT would have been a bit of a reach with JAKE FISHER the best one left. And yet FISHER has more than a few similarities to a guy named JORDAN GROSS. PS, IMO we are unoffically into Round 2 now. I had only 25 true… Read More »

I like DUPREE’s athleticism, but I he needs to play tougher and more aggressively. The BRONCOS might be moving up for…? JAELEN STRONG to give PEYTON a new guy to replace WELKER & THOMAS in the passing game. Best guys still left on PIGSKIN’s Board: GREGORY PERRIMAN L. COLLINS J. FISHER M. BROWN S. RAY It’s RAY, and… Read More »

STEELERS would be well served to look hard at LANDON COLLINS with their lack of talent at either S spot. BUD DUPREE might be a guy to think of here. THey could use a big WR like STRONG as well. The Corners for Round 1 are already gone.

Draft Blog

THat’s a really solid pick for Chip’s Offense. Maybe a bit early, but he was a rising prospect, especially after running a 4.42/40 at the Combine. Gets lots of yards after catch which is big in a KELLY offense. Great work ethic per USC coaches. BENGALS could use a thumper like LANDON COLLINS as their SS. La’el Collins… Read More »

I am surprised even tho I realize the CHIEFS have multiple needs including CB, but I’m a bit surprised. I’m not sure that MARSHAWN LYNCH letting PETERS live with him is high character recommendation in my book. BROWNS are back on the board and JAELEN STRONG/WR is still available. Take him and stop waiting for JOSH GORDAN yo… Read More »

With HOUSTON taking JOHNSON off the board I’m thinking the PACKERS will not have a value CB available for them back at Pick 30. ARMSTEAD is big time talent, but far from NFL ready. Needs to get tougher and stronger. He will not be a big help for them as a Rookie. Watch for him in 2016. The… Read More »

Watch for MARCUS PETERS as well if PHILBIN feels he has control of his locker room these days. The CHARGERS are coming up to get MELVIN GORDON IMO! If SHELTON had not been taken this trade does not take place. The NIners would have been all over SHELTON to fill their hole at NT. Not sure what the… Read More »

Draft Blog

GRUDEN is too quick to try to fill needs despite best available. I’m not sure PEAT is ready to play every week yet. His lower body looks incredibly thick to me. His dad was a fire plug OG named TODD back in the day. Have the DOLPHINS fixed their WR corps this off-season or is PARKER/Louisville a solid… Read More »

The SAINTS are retooling the entire roster to make one last run or two with DREW BREES. One of their options has to be DeVANTE PARKER/WR from a pure value standpoint. But they have some mighty big needs more pressing than a new toy for BREES. La’el COLLINS would have been my choice two days ago. I say… Read More »

WAYNES is blazing fast and will be a shutdown guy in a couple of years. So what is up for the BROWNS? I say DeVANTE PARKER would be smart pick. But DANNY SHELTON would be a great pick if indeed PHIL TAYLOR is not the guy he was a couple of injuries ago. This is a big year… Read More »

GURLEY gives the RAMS what they used to have when STEVEN JACKSON pounded the rock for them not all that long ago. They need a top OL in Round 2. The VIKINGS are retooling for the opening of their new stadium in 2017. The biggesy question here is what are they doing with PETERSON in the next 2-3… Read More »

Draft Blog

The RAMS are a bit of a mystery to me. I think they have a nice group of RB, but they are all pretty much little guys. They cannot run the ball in the red zone, especially the goal line. I’d be thinking TODD GURLEY if he’s got a totally clean health report from the re-check in Indy.… Read More »

I like this a lot. BEASLEY is the best potential Edge Rusher. While GREGORY is losing weight, BEASLEY bulked up for the Combine and he ran a 4.52/40 at 247 lbs. and also had 35 bench press reps. He’s also a smart young man. He’s also a guy with a 29 on the Wonderlic. WHat’s not too like.… Read More »

DA BEARS are on the clock. If they make an unpopular pick their fans will out-boo the New York fans in Radio City Music Hall. OK BEARS fans DANNY SHELTON/NT, KEVIN WHITE/WR or TRAE WAYNES/CB. I would also watch for BUD DUPREE or VIC BEASLEY as an Edge Rusher. DA BEARS have made a popular pick overall with… Read More »

The JETS need to take LEONARD WILLIAMS. Their DL is so thin it might tear in the wind. Hey I hear a J-E-T-S cheer even in Chicago. I am telling you that the “best Available Athlete’ axiom will be torn to shreads by need picks before the night is over. MEL is back to being feisty this year.… Read More »
