If you are lucky enough to have access to ESPN's Insider, then you may already know that draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. has published his team-by-team four round mock draft as he does each year. Unfortunately, Kiper has gone off the deep end with a few of his picks for the Cleveland Browns.

One of the more less-talked about players leading into the April 22 NFL Draft, is UCLA defensive lineman Brian Price. Obviously overshadowed by other defensive lineman named Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, and Dan Williams; Price may not have the stature of some of these others, but he is stronger than them out-lifted each at the NFL Combine with 34 total bench press reps.

As the 2010 NFL Draft approaches teams are looking to make deals to acquire more draft picks, since this draft class is deeper than in previous years (doesn't it seem like we say that every year?). With a deep draft class comes quality players well into the fourth and fifth rounds. Some NFL teams have a player on their roster that should be traded, but won't since they value him highly for ...

As the countdown begins until draft day 2010, there are still several players who are trade bait for teams to gain last second picks before the first round begins on April 22. Of these players, some are names that have been flung around the trade grapevine multiple times this offseason, and other names are newer to the list due to recent wheeling and dealing by NFL teams. The following (in no particular ...

April 15th is quickly approaching, and this is not tax talk, but for the Cleveland Browns and their restricted free agents (RFA). The Browns originally had six RFA's that they tendered on March 4, each with a second round price on their heads. Those tendered included: safety Abram Elam, running back Jerome Harrison, fullback Lawrence Vickers, inside linebacker D'Qwell Jackson, linebacker Jason Trusnik, and outside linebacker Matt Roth.
