1Miami DolphinsJake Long OTMichigan 6/73135.05
Jake Long Overview
Jake Long is just about as well regarded as Joe Thomas was last year. Jake Long is an powerful tackle who also has great pass protection skills. He can play both tackle positions.

Jake Long had a strong season senior season: gave up 1 sack all year...to Ohio St. DE standout Vernon Gholston.

Jake Long would stabilize the tackle position for the next 10 years for the team who selects him. He also won 2006 & 2007 Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, and was consensus 2006 & 2007 First-Team All-American.

Jake Long was my top overall choice for a couple month's, then I moved him to #2 for about 1 week. He is now once again the likely #1 overall pick, because he could be a great All-Pro OT and his bottom baseline skill set is also very high.

The Dolphins have ended all suspense about the pick as they have pre-signed Jake Long.
Dolphins Draft Overview
The Dolphins are not as bad as their record indicates. Bill Parcells will bring a sense of urgency to the Dolphins. The scouting department will be improved, and look for the Dolphins to address needs on the DL or OL with their 1st round pick.

However, look for trade with the 1st overall pick, odds are with Dallas who want RB Darren McFadden. However, recently RB Darren McFadden's stock has dropped on some teams draft boards, and he might now be the 2nd RB taken in the draft behind up and coming RB Rashard Mendenhall. This could cause the Cowboys to target a lower pick to get Darren McFadden.

Bill Parcells is hard to get a read on, but DL or OL is a safe bet if the pick stays with Miami. Vernon Gholston is a strong possibility if they can trade down a couple spots.

Free Agency Update: The Miami Dolphins have signed G Justin Smiley, WR Ernest Wilford, LB Charlie Anderson, LB Reggie Torbor, and DT Randy Starks.

Lions Draft Overview
The Lions are a team in need of consistent leadership. Mike Martz has moved his annoying ego to San Fran. Consistent offensive and a better defensive will make this team a playoff contender. Look for the Lions to consider anything with the 1st pick.

The Lions usually takes the BPA and ignores needs, especially on Day 1. Look for the Lions to consider CB, OG, RB, DE with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Detroit Lions have signed CB Brian Kelly, TE Michael Gaines, S Dwight Smith who was released by division rival Minnesota. They also re-signed RB Tatum Bell, RB Aveion Cason, CB Travis Fisher, T George Foster, TE John Owens, and CB Keith Smith

Rams Draft Overview
The Rams need depth at many positions. Unless a huge turnaround takes place, Scott Linehan is in his last season as a HC. The Rams will probably pursue another HC in the offseason.

The Rams need to address defensive needs or OL with their 1st round pick. The Rams needs a future replacement for Orlando Pace. Pace looks to be on a downslide, and RT Alex Barron has a big upside and solid but might not be a LT.

Free Agency Update: The St. Louis Rams have signed K Josh Brown, TE Anthony Becht, G Jacob Bell, QB Trent Green, re-signed G Adam Goldberg, T Brandon Gorin, and lost WR Issac Bruce to the 49ers.

Chris Long Overview
Comes from good pedigree and had 14 sacks last year. Chris Long should be a Top 5 lock, might even go 1st overall. Chris Long could be the starting piece for a rebuilding defense, he has great pass rushing skills, and is a solid DE prospect who should succeed at the next level.

Chris Long really had a strong season in 2007: 79 tackles, 19 for a loss, 14 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 10 passes broken up and 1 interception. He also won the 2007 Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award, and was consensus First-Team All-American.

Since the Rams needs a DE more than a DT, they take Long over Dorsey.

3Atlanta FalconsGlenn Dorsey DTL.S.U. 6/22995.05
Glenn Dorsey Overview
Dorsey should be a lock for a Top 5 pick. Had good college career, Glen Dorsey is more of a Warren Sapp type of DT than a true run stopper. Could go 1st overall, but that depends on who ends up with the 1st overall pick.

In 2007, Glenn Dorsey was awarded the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Outland Trophy, the Lott Trophy and the Lombardi Award, becoming the only player to have won all four awards.

The Falcons decide to take Glenn Dorsey over QB Matt Ryan. The only risk with Dorsey is his injury history.
Falcons Draft Overview
The Falcons really need a QB, and very well might take one in the 1st Round. The Falcons really need to address their offensive problems, and should use a day 1 pick on a WR or OL.

New coach Mike Smith might want to start off with a top defensive player like Vernon Gholston or Chris Long. However, QB situation is so bad.... they need to address sometime during the 1st day of the draft. Matt Ryan with the 3rd pick is a strong possibility, if not they could target QB Joe Flacco or Brian Brohm later on Day 1.

Free Agency Update: The Atlanta Falcons have signed running back Michael Turner to a six-year contract worth $34.5 million, with approximately $15 million guaranteed. This signing was the end of RB Warrick Dunn who was released and signed with Tampa Bay.. TE Ben Hartsock, S Erik Coleman, DB Von Hutchins, DT Kindal Moorehead, and C Alex Stepanovich were other free agents signed, and QB Joey Harrington re-signed.

Chiefs Draft Overview
The Chiefs need depth at many positions. The Chiefs really need a QB, and very well might take one in the 1st Round. Look for the Chiefs to take the BPA or look to trade down and accumulate additional picks with the possible addition of a younger QB with some experience (Kyle Boller, J.P Losman, etc).

Free Agency Update: The Kansas City Chiefs have franchised DE Jared Allen and signed LB Demorrio Williams and re-signed P Dustin Colquitt.

Buccaneers Draft Overview
The Buccaneers just resigned Gruden to an extension. Gruden is an offensive minded coach, and would like to get a Top WR, RB, or QB to groom for the future. As Cadillac might be done, look for Chuckie to lobby for a RB. DE Gaines Adams looks like a future Pro-Bowler, especially if he is given some help in the front 7.

The Buccaneers might actually consider taking 2 WR on day one. If the BPA is a WR there in the 2nd or 3rd, they will probably take him regardless of the 1st round selection.

Look for the Buccaneers to consider RB, DL, OL with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed C Jeff Faine, RB Warrick Dunn, TE John Gilmore, LB Leon Joe, LB Teddy Lehman, LB Matt McCoy, TE Ben Troupe, DE Jimmy Wilkerson, re-signed RB Michael Bennett, and CB Sammy Davis.

Raiders Draft Overview
The Raiders need depth at many positions. The Raiders really need to address their offensive problems, and very well might take a RB or OL in the 1st Round.

Look for the Lane Kippen - Al Davis feud to be resolved by draft day. Last years #1 overall QB Jamarcus Russell needs help, but the BPA should be taken for a rebuilding team like the Raiders.

Free Agency Update: The Oakland Raiders have signed S Gibril Wilson T Kwame Harris, WR Javon Walker, franchised CB Nnamdi Asomugha, re-signed RB Justin Fargas, T Cornell Green, and DE Tommy Kelly.

Seahawks Draft Overview
The Seahawks still miss G Steve Hutchinson. Shaun Alexander has never been the same since he left. . Look for the Seahawks to consider RB, WR, OL with the 1st pick. I am not sure who the Seahawks #1 WR is: is it Deion Branch...um..NO, D.J. Hackett...um..NO, Nate Burleson....um...HELL NO !

However, they need a #1 WR or TE that can be a vertical threat, and need him this year, as it probably is their last year at a Super Bowl run. Jim Mora Jr will start the rebuilding process next year. Look for the Seahawks to consider WR, OT, TE with the 1st round pick.


Free Agency Update: The Seattle Seahawks have franchised CB Marcus Trufant, signed RB T.J. Duckett, RB Julius Jones, TE Jeb Putzier, G Mike Wahle, and re-signed G Sean Locklear.

The Seattle Seahawks additions of RB Julius Jones and TJ Duckett will lead to a Shaun Alexander trade or release. The Seahawks should be able to get some mid-range pick for him.

Redskins Draft Overview
The Redskins are once again rebuilding in a tough division. The Redskins hired Jim Zorn as Head Coach, look for Zorn to quickly analyze the team needs and try to get the scouting department to select the offensive BPA. QB Jason Campbell looks like the cornerstone to build around, I assume the Redskins would like to use the 1st pick on offensive.

I think the Redskins will stay away from a Safety in the 1st round, just because the pick then will always been linked as Sean Taylor's replacement. Look for the Redskins to address the secondary needs later in the draft.

Look for the Redskins to consider WR, OL with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Washington Redskins have re-signed QB Todd Collins, RB Rock Cartwright, and C Ethan Albright.

Vernon Gholston Overview
Athletic stud who will get to the QB at the next level. He reminds me a little of LB/DE Demarcus Ware, which makes him a ideal candidate for Miami and Big Bill, but the signing of Jake Long has ended that possibility.

Vernon Gholston has move up the board after the combine.

Vernon Gholston had 14 sacks last season . Is an excellent pass rusher with his combination of size, speed, and strength. He can bench press over 450 pounds.

The Raiders consider RB Darren McFadden, but make they wise choice and select Vernon Gholston .

5Kansas City ChiefsMatt Ryan QBBoston College 6/52184.9
Matt Ryan Overview
This years top rated QB before the NFL combine. Should go in the Top 5, as another team might trade up to get him. Matt Ryan has the ability to start and be productive from the begining of his first year.

Matt Ryan was 2007 ACC Player of the Year, won the 2007 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, and really had a good season in 2007 completing 388 of 654 passes for 4507 Yards with 31 TD and 19 INT.

Matt Ryan could go anywhere from the 3rd pick to the 8th pick. I don't think he will drop below 8.

The Chiefs try to trade out of the 5th pick, but don't and they select the QB of their future Matt Ryan .
Chiefs Draft Overview
The Chiefs need depth at many positions. The Chiefs really need a QB, and very well might take one in the 1st Round. Look for the Chiefs to take the BPA or look to trade down and accumulate additional picks with the possible addition of a younger QB with some experience (Kyle Boller, J.P Losman, etc).

Free Agency Update: The Kansas City Chiefs have franchised DE Jared Allen and signed LB Demorrio Williams and re-signed P Dustin Colquitt.

Browns Draft Overview
The Browns have a potential QB controvesy ready to happen in 2008. It will be interesting to see what they do with Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn. Looking to get back into the 1st round, Anderson might be traded before the draft.

Brady Quinn could also draw interest, but I think the Browns will groom him for QB of the future.

The Browns have a solid foundation for a good team, and should take the BPA. Look for the Browns to consider OL,DL,CB with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Cleveland Browns re-signed QB Derek Anderson, RB Jamal Lewis, WR Donte Stallworth. DT Corey Williams, and traded for DT Shaun Rodgers.

Jets Draft Overview
The Jets need help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round. The Jets might surprise and take a top offensive player like Brian Brohm or Rashard Mendenhall. However, if RB Darren McFadden is still available when the Jets pick it will be hard for the Jets to pass on him. The Jets could have a few of teams interested in this pick, because someone will fall out of the Top 5 that another team really wants.

This pick and possible trades for this pick could determine the flow of the next 5-10 picks. Look for the Jets to address the secondary needs in the 2nd and/or 3rd round.

Look for the Jets to consider CB, OG, RB, WR with the 1st round pick.

Bengals Draft Overview
The Bengals need defensive help, and should take the Defensive BPA in the 1st Round.The Bengals need to resolve the Chad Johnson problem and do not be surprised to see Chad traded around draft day. The Bengals bring these issues upon themselves with poor character choices in recent drafts. Look for this pick to be a little more on the cleaner side for the Bengals.

We imagine QB Carson Palmer would love to get out of Ohio with Chad Johnson. However, that will not happen and the Bengals will try to shore up the Defensive side of the ball.

With that in mind it makes the decision to let DE Justin Smith walk away as a Free Agent is a bit puzzling. The team should take the BPA Defensive player, but might be forced to take the best DL with the 1st pick.

The Bengals organization is a black eye for the new commissioner and the NFL.

Darren McFadden Overview
Most hyped RB in this years class. I would rank him far behind 2007 Rookie of the Year, Vikings RB Adrian Peterson. McFadden's incident/arrest in the piano bar might have cost him some $$$ and drop him a few slots. Darren McFadden was 2006 & 2007 runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. Darren McFadden really had a strong season in 2007: 1827 Rushing Yards.

Darren McFadden has had to many fumbles (23) and is not an every down back. His body type might be to thin/small for the tough inside running in the NFL. Darren McFadden is more a Reggie Bush type of RB, not a Adrian Peterson type of RB.

The Jets seem to love Darren McFadden it's too bad he won't be the all around quality back that RB Rashard Mendenhall will become in the NFL. However, due to his speed and hype, Darren McFadden will be a Top 10 pick.

7New England PatriotsBranden Albert OGVirginia 6/73155.35
Branden Albert Overview
Branden Albert is a strong guy who ran a 5.22 40 at the combine. Has pushed himself up the boards and could now be the first guard drafted. .

Branden Albert could be a LT, and if a team projects him as a OT his draft position will rise.
Patriots Draft Overview
The Patriots need LB and CB help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round. Also, with the need to probably replace CB Asanti Samuel look for a trade for a veteran CB.

The Patriots did not overspend for CB Asanti Samuel, and I don't blame them. CB Asanti Samuel is, in my opinion, one of the more overrated players in the NFL. Asanti Samuel is good, but the Eagles will probably be disappointed.

The Patriots might trade down with a team like the Vikings for their 1st pick and CB Antionio Winfield. A straight trade (2nd or 3rd Round Pick) with the Vikings for CB Antionio Winfield is also possible.

Free Agency Update: The New England Patriots have re-signed WR Randy Moss, LB Tedy Bruschi, WR Jabar Gaffney, LB Larry Izzo, C Lonie Paxton, WR Kelley Washington, signed CB Jason Webster and WR Sam Aiken, and lost CB Asanti Samuel to the Eagles and WR Donte Stallworth to the Browns.

Raiders Draft Overview
The Raiders need depth at many positions. The Raiders really need to address their offensive problems, and very well might take a RB or OL in the 1st Round.

Look for the Lane Kippen - Al Davis feud to be resolved by draft day. Last years #1 overall QB Jamarcus Russell needs help, but the BPA should be taken for a rebuilding team like the Raiders.

Free Agency Update: The Oakland Raiders have signed S Gibril Wilson T Kwame Harris, WR Javon Walker, franchised CB Nnamdi Asomugha, re-signed RB Justin Fargas, T Cornell Green, and DE Tommy Kelly.

Browns Draft Overview
The Browns have a potential QB controvesy ready to happen in 2008. It will be interesting to see what they do with Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn. Looking to get back into the 1st round, Anderson might be traded before the draft.

Brady Quinn could also draw interest, but I think the Browns will groom him for QB of the future.

The Browns have a solid foundation for a good team, and should take the BPA. Look for the Browns to consider OL,DL,CB with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Cleveland Browns re-signed QB Derek Anderson, RB Jamal Lewis, WR Donte Stallworth. DT Corey Williams, and traded for DT Shaun Rodgers.

Sedrick Ellis Overview
Overall good hard nose DT. Good Senior Bowl has him moving up the boards, however combine results disappointed some scouts. Sedrick should be picked in the top part of the 1st Round.

Sedrick Ellis was selected to the majority of All-America First-teams. He can bench press over 500 pounds. In 2007, Sedrick Ellis was voted the Pacific 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year.
Ravens Draft Overview
The Ravens need offensive help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round.

The Ravens might trade down and accumulate picks. The Kyle Boller trial period has expired, thus do not be surprised if the Ravens take a QB like Brian Brohm(2nd Round), or Matt Ryan if he falls a few spots.

The Ravens are a hard team to get any idea about, but my guess is that they might go into rebuilding mode. I could be wrong about this, as the Ravens seem to have a team that can via for a playoff spot, but it will interesting to see how they approach the QB position.

Look for the Ravens to consider QB, OG, OT with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Baltimore Ravens have franchised DE/LB Terrell Suggs nad signed LB Brendon Ayanbadejo.

The Jaguars played well in 2007, look for them to take a step back. New DC Gregg Williams should help build the up an coming defensive unit into a consistent force.

Look for the Jaguars to consider OL, WR, LB with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed CB Drayton Florence, WR Joey Porter, DT Jimmy Kennedy,and QB Cleo Lemon, re-signed TE Richard Angulo, LB Tony Gilbert, G Tutan Reyes, T Maurice Williams, and traded for WR Troy Williamson.

Bengals Draft Overview
The Bengals need defensive help, and should take the Defensive BPA in the 1st Round.The Bengals need to resolve the Chad Johnson problem and do not be surprised to see Chad traded around draft day. The Bengals bring these issues upon themselves with poor character choices in recent drafts. Look for this pick to be a little more on the cleaner side for the Bengals.

We imagine QB Carson Palmer would love to get out of Ohio with Chad Johnson. However, that will not happen and the Bengals will try to shore up the Defensive side of the ball.

With that in mind it makes the decision to let DE Justin Smith walk away as a Free Agent is a bit puzzling. The team should take the BPA Defensive player, but might be forced to take the best DL with the 1st pick.

The Bengals organization is a black eye for the new commissioner and the NFL.

Look for the Bengals to consider DT, DE, OT with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Cincinnati Bengals have franchised OT Stacy Andrews and lost DE Justin Smith to the 49ers and S Madieu Williams to the Vikings.The Cincinnati Bengals have signed DE Antwan Odom and re-signed WR Antonio Chatman, and LB Dhani Jones.

Packers Draft Overview
The Packers played well in 2007, and were 1 game from the Super Bowl. However, look for the Packers to take steps backward. Brett Farve will not play that well again and he might retire, and it seems to me last year was a bit of a fluke.

The Packers defensive is a good unit and can take control of games. They also play in a cupcake division so anything is possible in 2008. QB Aaron Rodgers looks like he can be a starter in the NFL, however if he does not play this year, it seems the Packers do not have faith in him and he will start/play with another team in 2009.

Look for the Packers to consider OL, WR, RB with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Green Bay Packers have lost DT Corey Williams.

Bills Draft Overview
The Bills needs to build thru the draft. The Bills could go in any direction with their 1st pick. Look for the Bills to draft another QB sometime during this years draft.

Bad drafting in the past has hurt the Bills. Bad player evaluations, making bad picks, and then losing their good players in free agency will set back any team for a decade.

Ideally the Bills would take the defensive BPA. But in all likelyhood the BPA in this position will be an offensive player.

The teams #1 pick is way to high to address needs at LB or S or WR (unless LB Keith Rivers falls to #11). Look for a DL or RB as there could be some highly regarded ones at 11 !

Free Agency Update: The Buffalo Bills have traded for DT Marcus Stroud a big body that will work good with recently signed free agent DT Spencer Johnson who is a quick off the snap. The Bills also signed LB Kawika Mitchell, TE Courtney Anderson and re-signed G Jason Whittle and TE Matt Murphy.

Leodis McKelvin Overview
McKelvin is a return threat, as well as a shutdown CB. CB is a premium position and Leodis is the best available at this point in the draft.

Leodis McKelvin has been moving up the draft boards during the last month. Needs to improve his ball hawking skills, but can press very well.
Saints Draft Overview
The Saints need defensive help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round.The Saints need to figure out if the DL Charles Grant stabbing is serious blow to his career.

The Saints have a team that can put up points in a hurry, and a QB that, in my opinion, can win a Super Bowl. RB and WR also seem to be strengths, so improving the OL and improving the OL depth should be a top priority.

Look for the Saints to address the secondary needs in the 2nd and/or 3rd round. The Saints has options but should focus on LB or OL with their 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The New Orleans Saints have traded for LB Jonathan Vilma, signed DE Bobby McCray, CB Randall Gay, LB Dan Morgan, and re-signed WR Devery Henderson, TE Billy Miller, WR David Patten, LB Mark Simoneau, RB Aaron Stecker, DT Brian Young and K Martin Gramatica.

49ers Draft Overview
The 49ers welcome Mike Martz as the 2008 OC, look for a more electric offensive and an OC looking to take over the HC position in 2009. I would hope he learns he is no NFL Head Coach and leaves Nolan alone :)

I think Mike Nolan is a good HC, and should be given time to prove so, but the hiring of Mike Martz can cause friction between coaches, and that can effect the overall team performance.

With the addition of Martz look for the 49ers to consider WR, OL with the 1st pick.


Free Agency Update: The San Francisco 49ers have signed DE Justin Smith, WR Isaac Bruce, RB DeShaun Foster, QB J.T. O Sullivan, LB Dontarrious Thomas, CB Allen Rossum, and re-signed QB Shaun Hill, LB Roderick Green, and DT Isaac Sopoaga. They lost G Justin Smiley to the Dolphins.

The Broncos might actually jump on a top rated RB and stop the 3rd or 4th RB picks. Look for the Broncos highly consider RB Rashard Mendenhall.

The Broncos could go in any direction with their 1st pick. It will be interesting to see what the Broncos try to do with this pick. They might even take their top rated WR, if he is on the board.

Look for the Broncos to consider S, DT, WR with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Denver Broncos have signed WR Keary Colbert, LB Boss Bailey, LB Niko Koutouvides, S Marquand Manuel, and S Marlon McCree and re-signed DE Ebenezer Ekuban and DE John Engelberger.

Bills Draft Overview
The Bills needs to build thru the draft. The Bills could go in any direction with their 1st pick. Look for the Bills to draft another QB sometime during this years draft.

Bad drafting in the past has hurt the Bills. Bad player evaluations, making bad picks, and then losing their good players in free agency will set back any team for a decade.

Ideally the Bills would take the defensive BPA. But in all likelyhood the BPA in this position will be an offensive player.

The teams #1 pick is way to high to address needs at LB or S or WR (unless LB Keith Rivers falls to #11). Look for a DL or RB as there could be some highly regarded ones at 11 !

Free Agency Update: The Buffalo Bills have traded for DT Marcus Stroud a big body that will work good with recently signed free agent DT Spencer Johnson who is a quick off the snap. The Bills also signed LB Kawika Mitchell, TE Courtney Anderson and re-signed G Jason Whittle and TE Matt Murphy.

The jury is still out on QB David Garrard, but he performed well during his 1st year as a starter.

Look for the Jaguars to consider OL, WR, LB with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed CB Drayton Florence, WR Joey Porter, DT Jimmy Kennedy,and QB Cleo Lemon, re-signed TE Richard Angulo, LB Tony Gilbert, G Tutan Reyes, T Maurice Williams, and traded for WR Troy Williamson.

12Denver BroncosChris Williams OTVanderbilt 6/63205.25
Chris Williams Overview
Williams stock is rising quickly. He was probably the best offensive lineman at the Senior Bowl. Potential franchise LTs are at a premium so he might be considered a bit of a reach.


Chris Williams needs to increase his strength, 21 reps of 225 at the combine is not good. Needs to get more physical. In 2007, Chris Williams was selected to First-team All-SEC.

Chris Williams is a smart OT who could be effective from Day 1.
Broncos Draft Overview
The Broncos might actually jump on a top rated RB and stop the 3rd or 4th RB picks. Look for the Broncos highly consider RB Rashard Mendenhall.

The Broncos could go in any direction with their 1st pick. It will be interesting to see what the Broncos try to do with this pick. They might even take their top rated WR, if he is on the board.

Look for the Broncos to consider S, DT, WR with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Denver Broncos have signed WR Keary Colbert, LB Boss Bailey, LB Niko Koutouvides, S Marquand Manuel, and S Marlon McCree and re-signed DE Ebenezer Ekuban and DE John Engelberger.

Dolphins Draft Overview
The Dolphins are not as bad as their record indicates. Bill Parcells will bring a sense of urgency to the Dolphins. The scouting department will be improved, and look for the Dolphins to address needs on the DL or OL with their 1st round pick.

However, look for trade with the 1st overall pick, odds are with Dallas who want RB Darren McFadden. However, recently RB Darren McFadden's stock has dropped on some teams draft boards, and he might now be the 2nd RB taken in the draft behind up and coming RB Rashard Mendenhall. This could cause the Cowboys to target a lower pick to get Darren McFadden.

Bill Parcells is hard to get a read on, but DL or OL is a safe bet if the pick stays with Miami. Vernon Gholston is a strong possibility if they can trade down a couple spots.

Free Agency Update: The Miami Dolphins have signed G Justin Smiley, WR Ernest Wilford, LB Charlie Anderson, LB Reggie Torbor, and DT Randy Starks.

13Carolina PanthersKeith Rivers OLBUSC 6/32204.6
Keith Rivers Overview
Lacks the perfect strength or power for a top LB, but is very athletic and should fit in well at one of the LB spots.

In 2007, Keith Rivers was selected to the All-Pacific-10 Conference first team for the second time. Last year he had 73 tackles.
Panthers Draft Overview
The Panthers are a better team than they showed last year. Look for the Panthers highly consider DL with the 1st pick as insurance to DE Peppers leaving or regressing.

The Panthers might go QB if Brian Brohm or Matt Ryan falls.

Look for the Panthers to consider CB, LB, DE with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Carolina Panthers have franchised T Jordan Gross and signed WR Muhsin Muhammad who was released from the Bears, and traded DT Kris Jenkins to the Jets.

DE Tyler Brayton, CB Ricardo Colclough, LB Landon Johnson, RB LaBrandon Toefield, and G Keydrick Vincent were other free agents signed.

Redskins Draft Overview
The Redskins are once again rebuilding in a tough division. The Redskins hired Jim Zorn as Head Coach, look for Zorn to quickly analyze the team needs and try to get the scouting department to select the offensive BPA. QB Jason Campbell looks like the cornerstone to build around, I assume the Redskins would like to use the 1st pick on offensive.

I think the Redskins will stay away from a Safety in the 1st round, just because the pick then will always been linked as Sean Taylor's replacement. Look for the Redskins to address the secondary needs later in the draft.

Look for the Redskins to consider WR, OL with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Washington Redskins have re-signed QB Todd Collins, RB Rock Cartwright, and C Ethan Albright.

49ers Draft Overview
The 49ers welcome Mike Martz as the 2008 OC, look for a more electric offensive and an OC looking to take over the HC position in 2009. I would hope he learns he is no NFL Head Coach and leaves Nolan alone :)

I think Mike Nolan is a good HC, and should be given time to prove so, but the hiring of Mike Martz can cause friction between coaches, and that can effect the overall team performance.

With the addition of Martz look for the 49ers to consider WR, OL with the 1st pick.


Free Agency Update: The San Francisco 49ers have signed DE Justin Smith, WR Isaac Bruce, RB DeShaun Foster, QB J.T. O Sullivan, LB Dontarrious Thomas, CB Allen Rossum, and re-signed QB Shaun Hill, LB Roderick Green, and DT Isaac Sopoaga. They lost G Justin Smiley to the Dolphins.

14Chicago BearsRashard MendenhallRBIllinois6/12254.5
Rashard Mendenhall Overview
Rashard is moving up draft boards. Rashard is a tough kid with good receiving skills, his older brother Walter is still a RB at Illinois. My guess is that Rashard is a steal taken anywhere in beyond the 20th pick, as he should be better in a more normal NFL offensive scheme. Illinois sort of ran that spread/option offense most of the time. It will be interesting to see what numbers he posts at the combine.

Could very well be the 2nd RB taken in the 2008 draft. Rashard Mendenhall is a true 3 down back who could be a very productive NFL RB. However, he had only 1 productive year at Illinois.
Bears Draft Overview
The Bears are a team in flux. Lovie Smith is an overrated Head Coach, another season like last year and he is in the Hot Seat.

Look for the Bears to consider QB & RB with the 1st pick. Looks like the Bears have soured on Cedric Benson. Bears will also consider local standout RB Rashard Mendenhall.

Re-signing Lance Briggs should alter the Bears draft plans.

Look for the Bears to consider RB, OT, OG, LB with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Chicago Bears have re-signed LB Lance Briggs and QB Rex Grossman, lost WR Bernard Berrian to the division rival Vikings. WR Brandon Lloyd and WR Marty Booker were other free agents signed.

Saints Draft Overview
The Saints need defensive help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round.The Saints need to figure out if the DL Charles Grant stabbing is serious blow to his career.

The Saints have a team that can put up points in a hurry, and a QB that, in my opinion, can win a Super Bowl. RB and WR also seem to be strengths, so improving the OL and improving the OL depth should be a top priority.

Look for the Saints to address the secondary needs in the 2nd and/or 3rd round. The Saints has options but should focus on LB or OL with their 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The New Orleans Saints have traded for LB Jonathan Vilma, signed DE Bobby McCray, CB Randall Gay, LB Dan Morgan, and re-signed WR Devery Henderson, TE Billy Miller, WR David Patten, LB Mark Simoneau, RB Aaron Stecker, DT Brian Young and K Martin Gramatica.

Seahawks Draft Overview
The Seahawks still miss G Steve Hutchinson. Shaun Alexander has never been the same since he left. . Look for the Seahawks to consider RB, WR, OL with the 1st pick. I am not sure who the Seahawks #1 WR is: is it Deion Branch...um..NO, D.J. Hackett...um..NO, Nate Burleson....um...HELL NO !

However, they need a #1 WR or TE that can be a vertical threat, and need him this year, as it probably is their last year at a Super Bowl run. Jim Mora Jr will start the rebuilding process next year. Look for the Seahawks to consider WR, OT, TE with the 1st round pick.


Free Agency Update: The Seattle Seahawks have franchised CB Marcus Trufant, signed RB T.J. Duckett, RB Julius Jones, TE Jeb Putzier, G Mike Wahle, and re-signed G Sean Locklear.

The Seattle Seahawks additions of RB Julius Jones and TJ Duckett will lead to a Shaun Alexander trade or release. The Seahawks should be able to get some mid-range pick for him.

15Detroit LionsMike Jenkins CBSouth Florida 6/12004.5
Mike Jenkins Overview
Has the physical tools to play corner in the NFL. Plays a little soft at times. He is a top 2-3 CB in this years draft, look for him to be taken mid 1st round. Mike Jenkins was 2007 First-team Big East.
Lions Draft Overview
The Lions are a team in need of consistent leadership. Mike Martz has moved his annoying ego to San Fran. Consistent offensive and a better defensive will make this team a playoff contender. Look for the Lions to consider anything with the 1st pick.

The Lions usually takes the BPA and ignores needs, especially on Day 1. Look for the Lions to consider CB, OG, RB, DE with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Detroit Lions have signed CB Brian Kelly, TE Michael Gaines, S Dwight Smith who was released by division rival Minnesota. They also re-signed RB Tatum Bell, RB Aveion Cason, CB Travis Fisher, T George Foster, TE John Owens, and CB Keith Smith

Texans Draft Overview
The Texans are a team on the rise but play in a tough division. Mario Williams is the next great pass rusher in the NFL, and building around him or solidifying the OL should be the top priority. If Andre Johnson can stay healthy next year the Texans should greatly improve the offensive production.

The Texans were blasted in the media and from fans for not taking RB Reggie Bush or QB Vince Young as the top pick in the 2006 Draft. However, making DE Mario Williams the first pick of the 2006 Draft might have been the pick that turned the Texans franchise around. Also, with starting CB Duanta Robinson out for at least part of next year look for the Texans to highly consider secondary help with the first round pick.

Look for the Texans to address the offensive line needs in the 2nd and/or 3rd round. Look for the Texans to consider CB or OL with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Houston Texans have signed CB Jacques Reeves and LB Kevin Bentley and re-signed WR Andre Davis, TE Mark Bruener, S Will Demps, S Glenn Earl, and G Scott Jackson.

Giants Draft Overview
The Giants won the 2007 Super Bowl and Eli Manning looked like he turned the QB corner. However, look for the Giants to have a 2008-2009 hangover. The Giants are in discussions with the Falcons about trading this pick for CB Deangelo Hall.

The Giants need to provide better protection for QB Eli Manning, and find secondary depth.

Look for the Giants to consider OL, CB, S with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The New York Giants have lost LB Kawika Mitchell and S Gibril Wilson, signed S Sammy Knight, QB David Carr, and re-signed P Jeff Feagles, and K Lawrence Tynes.

Ryan Clady Overview
A powerful lineman who could start in the NFL for 10 years. Clady could be a top ten pick, but needs to improve his run blocking skills. Clady has excellent pass protection skills.

Ryan Clady is considered one of the top OT prospects. Poor Wonderlic score could hurt him.
Cardinals Draft Overview
The Cardinals are a team on the rise and should be a playoff contender. Look for the Cardinals to consider any top defensive player or OL with the 1st pick.

The Cardinals have a good set of skilled offensive players and should be able to put up points in 2008. Look for the Cardinals to consider OG, DE, CB with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Arizona Cardinals have re-signed LB Karlos Dansby and DE Travis LaBoy, and gave WR Larry Fitzgerald a 4-year $40 million extension.

Chargers Draft Overview
The Chargers played well in 2007, and were 1 game from the Super Bowl. QB Phillip Rivers needs to mature for the team to remain a powerhouse in the NFL.

The Chargers have the pieces to be Super Bowl contenders for the next couple of years. They need to take the BPA. Look for the Chargers to consider OL, WR, S with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The San Diego Chargers have lost CB Drayton Florence and RB Michael Turner, signed LB Derek Smith, and resigned G Scott Mruczkowski and QB Billy Volek.

Ryan Clady is considered one of the top OT prospects. Poor Wonderlic score could hurt him.
49ers Draft Overview
The 49ers welcome Mike Martz as the 2008 OC, look for a more electric offensive and an OC looking to take over the HC position in 2009. I would hope he learns he is no NFL Head Coach and leaves Nolan alone :)

I think Mike Nolan is a good HC, and should be given time to prove so, but the hiring of Mike Martz can cause friction between coaches, and that can effect the overall team performance.

With the addition of Martz look for the 49ers to consider WR, OL with the 1st pick.


Free Agency Update: The San Francisco 49ers have signed DE Justin Smith, WR Isaac Bruce, RB DeShaun Foster, QB J.T. O Sullivan, LB Dontarrious Thomas, CB Allen Rossum, and re-signed QB Shaun Hill, LB Roderick Green, and DT Isaac Sopoaga. They lost G Justin Smiley to the Dolphins.

Chiefs Draft Overview
The Chiefs need depth at many positions. The Chiefs really need a QB, and very well might take one in the 1st Round. Look for the Chiefs to take the BPA or look to trade down and accumulate additional picks with the possible addition of a younger QB with some experience (Kyle Boller, J.P Losman, etc).

Free Agency Update: The Kansas City Chiefs have franchised DE Jared Allen and signed LB Demorrio Williams and re-signed P Dustin Colquitt.

Jets Draft Overview
The Jets need help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round. The Jets might surprise and take a top offensive player like Brian Brohm or Rashard Mendenhall. However, if RB Darren McFadden is still available when the Jets pick it will be hard for the Jets to pass on him. The Jets could have a few of teams interested in this pick, because someone will fall out of the Top 5 that another team really wants.

This pick and possible trades for this pick could determine the flow of the next 5-10 picks. Look for the Jets to address the secondary needs in the 2nd and/or 3rd round.

Look for the Jets to consider CB, OG, RB, WR with the 1st round pick.


Free Agency Update: The New York Jets have signed G Alan Faneca, LB Calvin Pace, RB Jesse Chatman, FB Tony Richardson, G Damien Woody and traded for DT Kris Jenkins, lost S Erik Coleman to the Falcons.

Titans Draft Overview
The Titans should improve in 2008 as a team. However, Vince Young's inability to read defenses and throw to the correct WR will come back to bite the Titans.

It would not surprise me at all to see the Titans take steps backward this year. Vince Young will be pressured by other teams front seven and will not be able to react in a manner that results in a positive outcome. Look for the Titans to consider OL, WR with the 1st pick. They needs to replace Lendale White and keep him away for Vince Young.


Free Agency Update: The Tennessee Titans have franchised DT Albert Haynesworth and signed DE Jevon Kearse, TE Alge Crumpler, G Jake Scott, WR Justin McCareins, and re-signed WR Justin Gage.

17Kansas City ChiefsJeff Otah OTPittsburgh 6/63405.35
Jeff Otah Overview
Another piece of protection for an up and coming offense. Could really improve his stock with good agilty drills at the combine. A big lineman who, if needed, could play both tackle positions.

Jeff Otah is a hard lineman to get a good feel about. To me he seems overated and will have all kinds of trouble with the NFL speed rushers. He seems best suited to play RT in the NFL.

Antoine Cason really had a strong season in 2007: 5 interceptions, 2 of which were returned for touchdowns. He also returned 2 punts for touchdowns. He was also awarded the Jim Thorpe Award for best defensive back in the country.

The Broncos could go in any direction with their 1st pick. It will be interesting to see what the Broncos try to do with this pick. They might even take their top rated WR, if he is on the board.

Look for the Broncos to consider S, DT, WR with the 1st round pick.

The Steelers are a team hard to figure out. HC Mike Tomlin did a decent job last year, it will be interesting to see if he can keep the team focused and build upon last years performance.

Free Agency Update: The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to a eight-year $102 million contract, and lost G Alan Faneca to the Jets. The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed RB Mewelde Moore, LB Keyaron Fox and resigned DE Travis Kirschke.

Robert Ayers Overview

Texans Draft Overview
The Texans are a team on the rise but play in a tough division. Mario Williams is the next great pass rusher in the NFL, and building around him or solidifying the OL should be the top priority. If Andre Johnson can stay healthy next year the Texans should greatly improve the offensive production.

The Texans were blasted in the media and from fans for not taking RB Reggie Bush or QB Vince Young as the top pick in the 2006 Draft. However, making DE Mario Williams the first pick of the 2006 Draft might have been the pick that turned the Texans franchise around. Also, with starting CB Duanta Robinson out for at least part of next year look for the Texans to highly consider secondary help with the first round pick.

Look for the Texans to address the offensive line needs in the 2nd and/or 3rd round. Look for the Texans to consider CB or OL with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Houston Texans have signed CB Jacques Reeves and LB Kevin Bentley and re-signed WR Andre Davis, TE Mark Bruener, S Will Demps, S Glenn Earl, and G Scott Jackson.

Broncos Draft Overview
The Broncos might actually jump on a top rated RB and stop the 3rd or 4th RB picks. Look for the Broncos highly consider RB Rashard Mendenhall.

The Broncos could go in any direction with their 1st pick. It will be interesting to see what the Broncos try to do with this pick. They might even take their top rated WR, if he is on the board.

Look for the Broncos to consider S, DT, WR with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Denver Broncos have signed WR Keary Colbert, LB Boss Bailey, LB Niko Koutouvides, S Marquand Manuel, and S Marlon McCree and re-signed DE Ebenezer Ekuban and DE John Engelberger.

Steelers Draft Overview
The Steelers are a team hard to figure out. HC Mike Tomlin did a decent job last year, it will be interesting to see if he can keep the team focused and build upon last years performance.

There seems to some type of issue with Ben Roethlisberger and Hines Ward, look for that to be resolved by training camp. Look for the Steelers to consider CB, OL with the 1st pick. They need to add protection for Willie Parker injury.

Free Agency Update: The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to a eight-year $102 million contract, and lost G Alan Faneca to the Jets. The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed RB Mewelde Moore, LB Keyaron Fox and resigned DE Travis Kirschke.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to resign OT Max Starks, the Steelers "transition" player who would be scheduled to make $6.9 million in 2008.

Devin Thomas Overview
Physical WR who had a good year, has excellent speed but needs some experience, should have waited for the 2009 Draft.

Devin Thomas will be darfted this high on speed and potenial, and not past accomplishments.
Eagles Draft Overview
Look for the Eagles to make a run at CB Asanti Samuel when free agency begins . The Eagles will also look to trade Donovan McNabb before the draft. The Eagles appear to be headed into turmoil if the McNabb situation drags into training camp.

Kevin Kolb might start the rebuilding process in 2008 for the Eagles which indirectly should lead to the end of the Andy Reid era. That era should have been stopped a while back. Why is Andy Reid is still coaching the Eagles ? Former Eagle OC Brad Childress is a better HC than Reid...

Also, like the past few years the Eagles once again need help at WR. Look for the Eagles to consider WR, DE or OL with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Philadelphia Eagles have signed CB Asanti Samuel, DE Chris Clemons, franchised TE L.J. Smith, and re-signed S J.R. Reed.

Buccaneers Draft Overview
The Buccaneers just resigned Gruden to an extension. Gruden is an offensive minded coach, and would like to get a Top WR, RB, or QB to groom for the future. As Cadillac might be done, look for Chuckie to lobby for a RB. DE Gaines Adams looks like a future Pro-Bowler, especially if he is given some help in the front 7.

The Buccaneers might actually consider taking 2 WR on day one. If the BPA is a WR there in the 2nd or 3rd, they will probably take him regardless of the 1st round selection.

Look for the Buccaneers to consider RB, DL, OL with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed C Jeff Faine, RB Warrick Dunn, TE John Gilmore, LB Leon Joe, LB Teddy Lehman, LB Matt McCoy, TE Ben Troupe, DE Jimmy Wilkerson, re-signed RB Michael Bennett, and CB Sammy Davis.

Falcons Draft Overview
The Falcons really need a QB, and very well might take one in the 1st Round. The Falcons really need to address their offensive problems, and should use a day 1 pick on a WR or OL.

New coach Mike Smith might want to start off with a top defensive player like Vernon Gholston or Chris Long. However, QB situation is so bad.... they need to address sometime during the 1st day of the draft. Matt Ryan with the 3rd pick is a strong possibility, if not they could target QB Joe Flacco or Brian Brohm later on Day 1.

Free Agency Update: The Atlanta Falcons have signed running back Michael Turner to a six-year contract worth $34.5 million, with approximately $15 million guaranteed. This signing was the end of RB Warrick Dunn who was released and signed with Tampa Bay.. TE Ben Hartsock, S Erik Coleman, DB Von Hutchins, DT Kindal Moorehead, and C Alex Stepanovich were other free agents signed, and QB Joey Harrington re-signed.

Redskins Draft Overview
The Redskins are once again rebuilding in a tough division. The Redskins hired Jim Zorn as Head Coach, look for Zorn to quickly analyze the team needs and try to get the scouting department to select the offensive BPA. QB Jason Campbell looks like the cornerstone to build around, I assume the Redskins would like to use the 1st pick on offensive.

I think the Redskins will stay away from a Safety in the 1st round, just because the pick then will always been linked as Sean Taylor's replacement. Look for the Redskins to address the secondary needs later in the draft.

Look for the Redskins to consider WR, OL with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Washington Redskins have re-signed QB Todd Collins, RB Rock Cartwright, and C Ethan Albright.

Bengals Draft Overview
The Bengals need defensive help, and should take the Defensive BPA in the 1st Round.The Bengals need to resolve the Chad Johnson problem and do not be surprised to see Chad traded around draft day. The Bengals bring these issues upon themselves with poor character choices in recent drafts. Look for this pick to be a little more on the cleaner side for the Bengals.

We imagine QB Carson Palmer would love to get out of Ohio with Chad Johnson. However, that will not happen and the Bengals will try to shore up the Defensive side of the ball.

With that in mind it makes the decision to let DE Justin Smith walk away as a Free Agent is a bit puzzling. The team should take the BPA Defensive player, but might be forced to take the best DL with the 1st pick.

The Bengals organization is a black eye for the new commissioner and the NFL.

Look for the Bengals to consider DT, DE, OT with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Cincinnati Bengals have franchised OT Stacy Andrews and lost DE Justin Smith to the 49ers and S Madieu Williams to the Vikings.The Cincinnati Bengals have signed DE Antwan Odom and re-signed WR Antonio Chatman, and LB Dhani Jones.

22Dallas CowboysJonathan Stewart RBOregon 5/112304.5
Jonathan Stewart Overview
4.5 speed will help any running attack. Stewart is probably the most complete RB in the draft, and could be a top back in the NFL.

At this time, Jonathan Stewart upside just is as great as Darren McFadden's or Rashard Mendenhall's. However, recent injury concerns are currently surrounding him.
Cowboys Draft Overview
The Cowboys were disappointed in the post season after a 13-3 record in the regular season. RB Juluis Jones is gone, and RB Marion Barber is looking for a big deal. Look for the Cowboys to consider WR, S, RB with the 1st pick. It would surprise me if the Cowboys did not take a WR with one of their two 1st round picks.

Look for the Cowboys to address the offensive line needs in the 2nd and/or 3rd round.

Look for the Cowboys to consider OT, WR, RB with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Dallas Cowboys have franchised S Ken Hamlin and re-signed OT Flozell Adams, C L.P.Ladouceur, and signed LB Zack Thomas who was released by the Dolphins.

Vikings Draft Overview
Look for the Vikings to buck their normal FA methods and go after some big Free Agent signings this year. The signing of WR Berrard Berrian will alter the 2008 draft plans and give the Vikings a deep threat to take pressure off RB Adrian Peterson, and put pressure on QB Tavaris Jackson to throw good deep passes and spread the ball around.

The Vikings are a team in need of consistent QB play. Brad Childress has about turned this team into a playoff contender, and the Vikings even humiliated the Super Bowl champs in the 2nd half of last season. If the Vikings had a consistent pass rush they could be a top team.

WR Troy Williamson didn't panned out, and was traded for a 2nd day pick. Sydney Rice is a good possession WR, but lacks a little speed. With former #1 pick DE Kenechi Udeze recent disclosure that he has a form of leukemia, DE has moved up the prioity list for the Vikings.

Look for the Vikings to consider DL, WR, or S with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Minnesota Vikings have signed WR Bernard Berrian from the division rival Bears, RB Maurice Hicks, FB Thomas Tapeh, and highly regarded S Madieu Williams from the Bengals.

Patriots Draft Overview
The Patriots need LB and CB help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round. Also, with the need to probably replace CB Asanti Samuel look for a trade for a veteran CB.

The Patriots did not overspend for CB Asanti Samuel, and I don't blame them. CB Asanti Samuel is, in my opinion, one of the more overrated players in the NFL. Asanti Samuel is good, but the Eagles will probably be disappointed.

The Patriots might trade down with a team like the Vikings for their 1st pick and CB Antionio Winfield. A straight trade (2nd or 3rd Round Pick) with the Vikings for CB Antionio Winfield is also possible.

Free Agency Update: The New England Patriots have re-signed WR Randy Moss, LB Tedy Bruschi, WR Jabar Gaffney, LB Larry Izzo, C Lonie Paxton, WR Kelley Washington, signed CB Jason Webster and WR Sam Aiken, and lost CB Asanti Samuel to the Eagles and WR Donte Stallworth to the Browns.

23Pittsburgh SteelersJerod MayoILBTennessee6/22304.67
Jerod Mayo Overview
Athletic linebacker who has the size and speed to succeed in the NFL. With the lack of top LBs in the 2008 draft, Jerod Mayo should go higher in this years draft, than he would next year. Probably a good move on his part to come out early.
Combine Update: Jerod Mayo checked into the combine at 6-1,1/4, 242 pounds, 40 yard dash 4.56, and 32 vertical jump.
Steelers Draft Overview
The Steelers are a team hard to figure out. HC Mike Tomlin did a decent job last year, it will be interesting to see if he can keep the team focused and build upon last years performance.

There seems to some type of issue with Ben Roethlisberger and Hines Ward, look for that to be resolved by training camp. Look for the Steelers to consider CB, OL with the 1st pick. They need to add protection for Willie Parker injury.

Free Agency Update: The Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to a eight-year $102 million contract, and lost G Alan Faneca to the Jets. The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed RB Mewelde Moore, LB Keyaron Fox and resigned DE Travis Kirschke.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to resign OT Max Starks, the Steelers "transition" player who would be scheduled to make $6.9 million in 2008.

The Packers played well in 2007, and were 1 game from the Super Bowl. However, look for the Packers to take steps backward. Brett Farve will not play that well again and he might retire, and it seems to me last year was a bit of a fluke.

The Packers defensive is a good unit and can take control of games. They also play in a cupcake division so anything is possible in 2008. QB Aaron Rodgers looks like he can be a starter in the NFL, however if he does not play this year, it seems the Packers do not have faith in him and he will start/play with another team in 2009.

Look for the Packers to consider OL, WR, RB with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Green Bay Packers have lost DT Corey Williams.

Gosder Cherilus Overview
Can play both tackle positions. Struggled at times this past year. He is a tremendous run blocker who plays with an attitude and mean streak.
Titans Draft Overview
The Titans should improve in 2008 as a team. However, Vince Young's inability to read defenses and throw to the correct WR will come back to bite the Titans.

It would not surprise me at all to see the Titans take steps backward this year. Vince Young will be pressured by other teams front seven and will not be able to react in a manner that results in a positive outcome. Look for the Titans to consider OL, WR with the 1st pick. They needs to replace Lendale White and keep him away for Vince Young.


Free Agency Update: The Tennessee Titans have franchised DT Albert Haynesworth and signed DE Jevon Kearse, TE Alge Crumpler, G Jake Scott, WR Justin McCareins, and re-signed WR Justin Gage.

Gosder Cherilus Overview

Falcons Draft Overview
The Falcons really need a QB, and very well might take one in the 1st Round. The Falcons really need to address their offensive problems, and should use a day 1 pick on a WR or OL.

New coach Mike Smith might want to start off with a top defensive player like Vernon Gholston or Chris Long. However, QB situation is so bad.... they need to address sometime during the 1st day of the draft. Matt Ryan with the 3rd pick is a strong possibility, if not they could target QB Joe Flacco or Brian Brohm later on Day 1.

Free Agency Update: The Atlanta Falcons have signed running back Michael Turner to a six-year contract worth $34.5 million, with approximately $15 million guaranteed. This signing was the end of RB Warrick Dunn who was released and signed with Tampa Bay.. TE Ben Hartsock, S Erik Coleman, DB Von Hutchins, DT Kindal Moorehead, and C Alex Stepanovich were other free agents signed, and QB Joey Harrington re-signed.

Eagles Draft Overview
Look for the Eagles to make a run at CB Asanti Samuel when free agency begins . The Eagles will also look to trade Donovan McNabb before the draft. The Eagles appear to be headed into turmoil if the McNabb situation drags into training camp.

Kevin Kolb might start the rebuilding process in 2008 for the Eagles which indirectly should lead to the end of the Andy Reid era. That era should have been stopped a while back. Why is Andy Reid is still coaching the Eagles ? Former Eagle OC Brad Childress is a better HC than Reid...

Also, like the past few years the Eagles once again need help at WR. Look for the Eagles to consider WR, DE or OL with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Philadelphia Eagles have signed CB Asanti Samuel, DE Chris Clemons, franchised TE L.J. Smith, and re-signed S J.R. Reed.

Felix Jones Overview
McFadden backup who is very versatile. Has skills but is a little unproven. Combine will solidify his position or make him a 3rd or 4th rounder.
Seahawks Draft Overview
The Seahawks still miss G Steve Hutchinson. Shaun Alexander has never been the same since he left. . Look for the Seahawks to consider RB, WR, OL with the 1st pick. I am not sure who the Seahawks #1 WR is: is it Deion Branch...um..NO, D.J. Hackett...um..NO, Nate Burleson....um...HELL NO !

However, they need a #1 WR or TE that can be a vertical threat, and need him this year, as it probably is their last year at a Super Bowl run. Jim Mora Jr will start the rebuilding process next year. Look for the Seahawks to consider WR, OT, TE with the 1st round pick.


Free Agency Update: The Seattle Seahawks have franchised CB Marcus Trufant, signed RB T.J. Duckett, RB Julius Jones, TE Jeb Putzier, G Mike Wahle, and re-signed G Sean Locklear.

The Seattle Seahawks additions of RB Julius Jones and TJ Duckett will lead to a Shaun Alexander trade or release. The Seahawks should be able to get some mid-range pick for him.

Felix Jones Overview

Dolphins Draft Overview
The Dolphins are not as bad as their record indicates. Bill Parcells will bring a sense of urgency to the Dolphins. The scouting department will be improved, and look for the Dolphins to address needs on the DL or OL with their 1st round pick.

However, look for trade with the 1st overall pick, odds are with Dallas who want RB Darren McFadden. However, recently RB Darren McFadden's stock has dropped on some teams draft boards, and he might now be the 2nd RB taken in the draft behind up and coming RB Rashard Mendenhall. This could cause the Cowboys to target a lower pick to get Darren McFadden.

Bill Parcells is hard to get a read on, but DL or OL is a safe bet if the pick stays with Miami. Vernon Gholston is a strong possibility if they can trade down a couple spots.

Free Agency Update: The Miami Dolphins have signed G Justin Smiley, WR Ernest Wilford, LB Charlie Anderson, LB Reggie Torbor, and DT Randy Starks.

Ravens Draft Overview
The Ravens need offensive help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round.

The Ravens might trade down and accumulate picks. The Kyle Boller trial period has expired, thus do not be surprised if the Ravens take a QB like Brian Brohm(2nd Round), or Matt Ryan if he falls a few spots.

The Ravens are a hard team to get any idea about, but my guess is that they might go into rebuilding mode. I could be wrong about this, as the Ravens seem to have a team that can via for a playoff spot, but it will interesting to see how they approach the QB position.

Look for the Ravens to consider QB, OG, OT with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Baltimore Ravens have franchised DE/LB Terrell Suggs nad signed LB Brendon Ayanbadejo.

26Jacksonville JaguarsQuentin Groves DEAuburn 6/32544.6
Quentin Groves Overview
Look for a good combine from Quentin, which will solidify his spot in the late 1st Round or early 2nd round.
Jaguars Draft Overview
The Jaguars played well in 2007, look for them to take a step back. New DC Gregg Williams should help build the up an coming defensive unit into a consistent force.

The jury is still out on QB David Garrard, but he performed well during his 1st year as a starter.

Look for the Jaguars to consider OL, WR, LB with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed CB Drayton Florence, WR Joey Porter, DT Jimmy Kennedy,and QB Cleo Lemon, re-signed TE Richard Angulo, LB Tony Gilbert, G Tutan Reyes, T Maurice Williams, and traded for WR Troy Williamson.

Look for a good combine from Quentin, which will solidify his spot in the late 1st Round or early 2nd round.
Ravens Draft Overview
The Ravens need offensive help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round.

The Ravens might trade down and accumulate picks. The Kyle Boller trial period has expired, thus do not be surprised if the Ravens take a QB like Brian Brohm(2nd Round), or Matt Ryan if he falls a few spots.

The Ravens are a hard team to get any idea about, but my guess is that they might go into rebuilding mode. I could be wrong about this, as the Ravens seem to have a team that can via for a playoff spot, but it will interesting to see how they approach the QB position.

Look for the Ravens to consider QB, OG, OT with the 1st round pick.

Free Agency Update: The Baltimore Ravens have franchised DE/LB Terrell Suggs nad signed LB Brendon Ayanbadejo.

Colts Draft Overview
The Colts welcome Tony Dungy back as the 2008 HC and the Colts should once again win over 12 games. If I were the Colts, I would make sure Peyton Manning had the best possible protection from an OL. If he gets that the Colts offensive could be unstoppable.

Look for the Colts to consider OL,DL, CB with the 2nd Round pick.

Eben Britton Overview

Bills Draft Overview
The Bills needs to build thru the draft. The Bills could go in any direction with their 1st pick. Look for the Bills to draft another QB sometime during this years draft.

Bad drafting in the past has hurt the Bills. Bad player evaluations, making bad picks, and then losing their good players in free agency will set back any team for a decade.

Ideally the Bills would take the defensive BPA. But in all likelyhood the BPA in this position will be an offensive player.

The teams #1 pick is way to high to address needs at LB or S or WR (unless LB Keith Rivers falls to #11). Look for a DL or RB as there could be some highly regarded ones at 11 !

Free Agency Update: The Buffalo Bills have traded for DT Marcus Stroud a big body that will work good with recently signed free agent DT Spencer Johnson who is a quick off the snap. The Bills also signed LB Kawika Mitchell, TE Courtney Anderson and re-signed G Jason Whittle and TE Matt Murphy.

Kentwan Balmer Overview
Could go higher with a good combine. Good in either the 3-4 or 4-3. Has football intelligence.

Kentwan Balmer will be picked higher than he grades out because the dropoff of DT's after him is significant.
49ers Draft Overview
The 49ers welcome Mike Martz as the 2008 OC, look for a more electric offensive and an OC looking to take over the HC position in 2009. I would hope he learns he is no NFL Head Coach and leaves Nolan alone :)

I think Mike Nolan is a good HC, and should be given time to prove so, but the hiring of Mike Martz can cause friction between coaches, and that can effect the overall team performance.

With the addition of Martz look for the 49ers to consider WR, OL with the 1st pick.


Free Agency Update: The San Francisco 49ers have signed DE Justin Smith, WR Isaac Bruce, RB DeShaun Foster, QB J.T. O Sullivan, LB Dontarrious Thomas, CB Allen Rossum, and re-signed QB Shaun Hill, LB Roderick Green, and DT Isaac Sopoaga. They lost G Justin Smiley to the Dolphins.

The Giants won the 2007 Super Bowl and Eli Manning looked like he turned the QB corner. However, look for the Giants to have a 2008-2009 hangover. The Giants are in discussions with the Falcons about trading this pick for CB Deangelo Hall.

The Giants need to provide better protection for QB Eli Manning, and find secondary depth.

Look for the Giants to consider OL, CB, S with the 1st pick.

Jets Draft Overview
The Jets need help, and should take the BPA in the 1st Round. The Jets might surprise and take a top offensive player like Brian Brohm or Rashard Mendenhall. However, if RB Darren McFadden is still available when the Jets pick it will be hard for the Jets to pass on him. The Jets could have a few of teams interested in this pick, because someone will fall out of the Top 5 that another team really wants.

This pick and possible trades for this pick could determine the flow of the next 5-10 picks. Look for the Jets to address the secondary needs in the 2nd and/or 3rd round.

Look for the Jets to consider CB, OG, RB, WR with the 1st round pick.


Free Agency Update: The New York Jets have signed G Alan Faneca, LB Calvin Pace, RB Jesse Chatman, FB Tony Richardson, G Damien Woody and traded for DT Kris Jenkins, lost S Erik Coleman to the Falcons.

30Green Bay PackersDeSean Jackson WRCalifornia 6/11724.45
DeSean Jackson Overview
DeSean Jackson is a little raw but he will be a 1st Round pick in the 2008 draft. Jackson is a good route runner with excellent speed.

At the combine, DeSean Jackson looked fragile and too small for the NFL. But showed excellent speed.
Packers Draft Overview
The Packers played well in 2007, and were 1 game from the Super Bowl. However, look for the Packers to take steps backward. Brett Farve will not play that well again and he might retire, and it seems to me last year was a bit of a fluke.

The Packers defensive is a good unit and can take control of games. They also play in a cupcake division so anything is possible in 2008. QB Aaron Rodgers looks like he can be a starter in the NFL, however if he does not play this year, it seems the Packers do not have faith in him and he will start/play with another team in 2009.

Look for the Packers to consider OL, WR, RB with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Green Bay Packers have lost DT Corey Williams.

Titans Draft Overview
The Titans should improve in 2008 as a team. However, Vince Young's inability to read defenses and throw to the correct WR will come back to bite the Titans.

It would not surprise me at all to see the Titans take steps backward this year. Vince Young will be pressured by other teams front seven and will not be able to react in a manner that results in a positive outcome. Look for the Titans to consider OL, WR with the 1st pick. They needs to replace Lendale White and keep him away for Vince Young.


Free Agency Update: The Tennessee Titans have franchised DT Albert Haynesworth and signed DE Jevon Kearse, TE Alge Crumpler, G Jake Scott, WR Justin McCareins, and re-signed WR Justin Gage.

Vikings Draft Overview
Look for the Vikings to buck their normal FA methods and go after some big Free Agent signings this year. The signing of WR Berrard Berrian will alter the 2008 draft plans and give the Vikings a deep threat to take pressure off RB Adrian Peterson, and put pressure on QB Tavaris Jackson to throw good deep passes and spread the ball around.

The Vikings are a team in need of consistent QB play. Brad Childress has about turned this team into a playoff contender, and the Vikings even humiliated the Super Bowl champs in the 2nd half of last season. If the Vikings had a consistent pass rush they could be a top team.

WR Troy Williamson didn't panned out, and was traded for a 2nd day pick. Sydney Rice is a good possession WR, but lacks a little speed. With former #1 pick DE Kenechi Udeze recent disclosure that he has a form of leukemia, DE has moved up the prioity list for the Vikings.

Look for the Vikings to consider DL, WR, or S with the 1st pick.

Free Agency Update: The Minnesota Vikings have signed WR Bernard Berrian from the division rival Bears, RB Maurice Hicks, FB Thomas Tapeh, and highly regarded S Madieu Williams from the Bengals.
