The draft is four days away, the Cleveland Browns have held their final pre-draft press conference, and all that's left is the waiting. Team President Mike Holmgren and General Manager Tom Heckert said a whole lot of nothing at the press conference last Thursday, but it was one of the more entertaining and informative press conferences despite that. Holmgren even said he'll "say lots of things," but there's always a reason. So will ...

It's one of those things everyone likes to talk about but only one team actually has the guts to do, reach for or trade up for the most hyped player in the draft. It's usually a quarterback, but sometimes it's a defensive guy or a running back. But this year it is a quarterback; it's Tim Tebow. No one attracts the kind of attention Tebow does this year. It's not worth ...

  In the wake of Brandon Marshall, Santonio Holmes, and Ted Ginn, Jr. switching teams, my mock draft board doesn't look good for draft prospect Dez Bryant going in the Top 10. With less than a week to go before the draft, the St. Louis Rams probably are trying to get a deal done with Sam Bradford, the Cleveland Browns might trade up to try and get him, and the Pittsburgh Steelers ...

With Ted Ginn Jr. going to San Francisco, Dez Bryant's draft aspirations have taken yet another blow. No team in the top 10, other than the Cleveland Browns, is projected to take Bryant, and Mel Kiper Jr. is about the only one who mocked that. Anyone who follows the Cleveland Browns also knows the chances of the Browns taking Bryant with their first round pick are slim at best. Browns Team President Mike ...

The Browns have 10 picks in the 2010 Draft beginning on April 22. The team has needs at just about every position. The defensive line could use a few guys, the secondary pretty much needs rebuilt from the ground up and the right side of the offensive line could use a little shoring up. There's also the lack of good wide receivers, but there's a new franchise quarterback to think about as ...

One thing that is very hard to predict in the draft are the draft day trades. There are so many variables that factor into the equation that even mocking trades is almost impossible to do. But trades happen, and with the amount of craziness in this offseason so far, expect more than one big trade to go down next week. And yes, don't be surprised if Tim Tebow's name is called shortly ...

With the draft a little more than a week away, all indications are Sam Bradford will be the next starting quarterback for the St. Louis Rams. Bradford, standing at 6'4" 236 lbs, has the height and the size to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. After completing 62 of his 63 passes—the one incompletion being a drop—Rams General Manager Bill Devaney was very pleased with what he saw. However, Devaney must temper ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in the news a lot lately, and not for much of anything good. Wide receiver Santonio Holmes and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger both have had legal troubles off the field this offseason, and now Holmes is a New York Jet. Holmes is facing a lawsuit in Florida from a woman who claims he threw a glass at her, cutting her above the eye, in an Orlando nightclub. The ...
