The New England Patriots had a great draft weekend and it had little to do with the draft. The Pats are easily one of the elite teams in the AFC, but never seem to be satisfied with their roster. Head coach Bill Belichick is always working to bring players in that he feels will either […]
21. Denver Broncos
DE Jamaal Anderson
Arkansas
The Broncos could really use some offensive line help, but they will elect to address that in later rounds. The talented DE Jamaal Anderson falls in their lap here at 21 and they will not let him slide any farther. Although flying slightly under the radar at Arkansas, Anderson had 13.5 […]
11. San Francisco 49ers
DE Adam Carriker
Nebraska

I heard it said once that champions are built in rounds 2 through 4. Ouch!!! The Redskins seem to be targeting DT and […]
The Oakland Raiders have to take a quarterback with the first overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, because no NFL starting quarterback in his right mind would go to Oakland right now. The franchise is in a mess, the offensive line is just that, offensive, and no-one on the planet knows whether Randy Moss […]
When the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs complete the long awaited trade involving Trent Green and draft picks it will serve as the end of offensive balance for coach Herm Edwards and the Chiefs who will officially become one of the most one dimensional teams in the NFL. Green has been a solid […]
