There are 255 players taken over the three days in the NFL draft. There are a lot of players left out of the draft that are very good. Some of these guys will go on to have very long and productive careers. Although rare some of these men, like John Randle, will go on to have Hall of Famer careers. These guys werent taken first overall or even last overall. So ...

San Diego is a team that has prided itself on overcoming injury. Despite a host of injuries, including three separate defensive tackles going on IR, the team put up an impressive 13-3 record in 2009 before succumbing in the divisional playoffs. The team’s great depth is a tremendous asset, but something it may be forced to cut into when a host of players under contract are staring down free agency in ...

It's official—the draft is over. Finally, the hectic offseason can settle down. We now have a chance to reflect on the Jet's offseason as a whole. They have made some good moves, some bad. Let's review their busy offseason. They signed LaDainian Tomlinson, Nick Folk, Brodney Pool, Jason Taylor and Lance Laury, traded for Antonio Cromartie and Santonio Holmes, and shed the under-performing Kerry Rhodes, aging Thomas Jones, and plain bad Lito Sheppard. ...

Last year showed the weaknesses of the Bears defense. They couldn't cover, they couldn't tackle, and they couldn't stop anybody. They were torched in games against Minnesota, Cincinnati, and Arizona. So, one of the main focuses of the off-season was to upgrade the defense. So far, so good, right? The Bears secondary was one of the worst in the NFL last season, and struggled heavily. Charles Tillman was the only ...

Jacksonville's favorite son was never going to be a Jaguar. When asked about the selection of California defensive lineman Tyson Alualu 10th overall, general manager Gene Smith was unequivocal in his defense of the pick—no matter how many tickets Tim Tebow could've sold. "We felt very strongly about Alualu at our selection," Smith told reporters in a draft weekend press conference, "and we felt very strongly about Tim." Translation? No chance. Though Tebow was ...

While working on the requisite post-draft analysis piece (probably posting tomorrow), I stumbled upon yesterday's PFT blurb about some comments from Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall. If you haven't read them yet... DeAngelo Hall: "We'll dominate our division" "It's based on the talent we feel like we've got. "It's based on the improvements I feel like we've made. It's based on the scheme," Hall said. "The scheme alone is gonna give us four ...

The 2010 NFL Draft competed with the Mets-Cardinals 20-inning affair, and any Yankees-Red Sox match-up this season, as the longest sporting event of the year. The 14-plus hours of coverage spread over three days fed NFL fans the offseason nourishment they craved in the form of chicken wings, gallons of brew, upside, downside, playmakers, and what-if potential. Now football fans must suffer through months of cliche, OTAs, mini-camps, Brett Favre breaking news, ...

Originally published on: http://mtrmedia.com/jetsjive (The best source for Jets news, analysis, and insight on the web - Jets Jive) The New England Patriots, as expected, released Adalius Thomas yesterday. The veteran linebacker hasn’t meshed with the Pats at all and it was widely speculated that he would be a free agent at some point this offseason. The only question at this point is: are the Jets interested? Sources within the ...

It's always fun to scrutinize the NFL Draft, but in all reality we have no idea how good these players will be. But due to the hype that players received, we are able to give teams a grade on how well they did selecting the big-name players. Here are my winners and losers for the 2010 NFL Draft: Winners: Oakland Raiders Finally, Al Davis overcomes speed and athletics to go after skill. First-round pick Rolando McClain will be ...

There is no secret in the Cleveland Browns organization as to what one of their biggest needs is on the roster: To get a veteran wide receiver to help unlock the potential of their very young and inexperienced receiver group. As time progresses and the roster gets cut down during training camp and preseason, the Browns will most likely carry five receivers on the 53-man roster and possibly another one on ...
