As the first round comes to a close here at Radio City Music Hall, my first thought is to applaud the Cleveland Browns for not only grabbing Joe Thomas, the best offensive lineman in this Draft, with the third overall pick, but also for getting their future quarterback, Brady Quinn, all the way down at […]

Not surprisingly, LSU QB JaMarcus Russell was the first overall selection by the Oakland Raiders. It wasn’t as obvious as last year when Mario Williams went first to the Houston Texans the day before the Draft, but I think most people agreed that barring a blockbuster deal being presented to the Raiders, […]

I just got back from NFL Draft Fan Central (presented by Burger King) which is across the street on 51st Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. It’s a beautiful spring day here in midtown Manhattan. When I left Buffalo early this morning (and I emphasize early), it was raining and about 40º. […]

I arrived safely in New York City (JFK Airport) this morning around 7:05 and shuttled (as in SuperShuttled) my way to Radio City Music Hall for today’s 2007 NFL Draft. I’ve been up since 2:30 a.m. Booking a 5:50 a.m. flight when you live an hour and a half from the airport […]

I am not a big fan of sports agents. I only deal with them because I have to around Draft time. A few have been extremely helpful, kind and professional with me. But only a few. In a Yahoo! story recently, agent Ben Dogra (who I’ve never worked with) said: “It’s non-stop rumors. This year […]

They are: Clemson DE Gaines Adams, Georgia Tech WR Calvin Johnson, Oklahoma RB Adrian Peterson, Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn, and LSU QB JaMarcus Russell. I’ll […]

Wisconsin OL Joe Thomas has declined the NFL’s invitation to be part of the pre-Draft and Draft Day festivities so he could go fishing with his father. My first reaction was one of amazement. I mean, I thought every NFL prospect wanted to be in this national spotlight. Apparently not. I get to attend all […]

“Pro Days” are usually the final testing ground for a pro prospect to showcase his talents for interested NFL parties. With the Combine over and a “controlled environment” in-place, it’s usually the best-case scenario for a player to either solidify his rep or create one in the process. Ohio State’s Pro Day today showcased such […]
