Mocks, combine info, etc...



Boo!

[CallOfTheCrow]

Goodbye erections.

[Panamaniac42]

Goodbye erections.

In all seriousness, Cody could be doing to his stock what fellow 'Bama big boy Andre Smith did last year.

[philleotardo]

Goodbye erections.

You're not a breast man?

I'm in the "Rams need a franchise QB slightly more than a dominant DT" camp. I just have no idea if Claussen is that guy.

[kan_t]

I think the Rams should take Ndamukong Suh. Yes they need a QB but they won't contend next year anyway. For a team that has lots of holes to fill, the best way to do is to draft the best available talent and the best talent this year is Ndamukong Suh.

Agreed.

They'd be crazy to pass on Suh. You build from the trenches and since the Rams don't have an OLine they'd be nuts to draft a guy like Clausen, he'd be running for his life all season.

[Panamaniac42]

Yeah with the #1 pick they have to go with the "sure" thing and that's Suh. They can do that and then give someone like Tony Pike a look later on.

[S2]

Suh looks like Richard Seymour 2.0.

Mocks, combine info, etc...



Boo!

I think I'm a Steelers' fan so I'm interested in the picks the Steelers have. Should the Steelers use the #18 to pick a S like Earl Thomas (if he is still there) or a NT like Dan Williams?

[Snatch Catch]

Man, the team that ends up with Bradford, assuming it's not the Rams with the 1st pick, is going to be thanking its lucky stars. That's going to be a huge win.

One of the more reliable/accurate mock draft sites around. He has Bradford going #6 to Seattle.

Jimmy Clausen looks exactly like my former college roommate.

[kan_t]

It's either the Seahawks or the Redskins if the Rams don't take him.

Don Banks' first take:

Golden Tate just made some dough by following up his 4.36 at the combine with a 4.37.

[YanksFan1992]

Bill Simmons three weeks ago:

(FYI: I know how to fix it. Win the toss and score a touchdown, game over. Make a field goal on the opening drive and the opponent gets one possession of its own. From there, sudden death rules. Find a hole in that idea. You can't.)

NFL this morning:

An NFL spokesman said Saturday the league could change its overtime format for playoff games at a meeting next month.

Under the new format, both teams would get the ball at least once unless the first team to get the ball scores a touchdown, Greg Aiello said. If the first team to get the ball makes a field goal and the other team ties the game, action would continue until a team scores again.

The Raiders need no other information.

[philleotardo]

I have yet to hear/read from anyone that thinks Tony Pike will succeed in the pros.

Taylor Mays is damn fast

[Snatch Catch]

Holy CRAP.

I wonder what the official time ends up being.

[Snatch Catch]

http://blogs.nfl.com/2010/03/02/not-...sets-the-pace/

The official 40-yard dash times have just been released for the defensive backs, and Taylor Mays was indeed the fastest, just not with the 4.24 unofficial time that was originally reported.

He was officially clocked with a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, placing him tied for ninth overall among all participants at the NFL Scouting Combine, behind wide receivers Jacoby Ford, Taylor Price, Emmanuel Sanders and Golden Tate, running backs Jahvid Best and C.J. Spiller, tight end Dorin Dickerson and specialist Trindon Holliday.

[b_joseph]

Yeah, I just watched his run and it didnt look like 4.24...the announcers even said that.

4.43 is good though.

[Panamaniac42]

I have yet to hear/read from anyone that thinks Tony Pike will succeed in the pros.

When I wrote that a month ago he was a possible 2nd/3rd round pick. Not sure what his stock looks like now.

[philleotardo]

Brandon Spikes, holy ess...

ran a 5.03 at his Pro Day - a slower time than some of the offensive linemen at the Combine. Spikes is now a 3-4 only linebacker, and there's a very good chance he'll fall into Round 4.

Good. I'd love the Jets to snatch him up there.

[Snatch Catch]

I'm pretty sure the Tim Tebow Wonderlic story is the funnies sports story of 2010 so far.

It's going to be VERY difficult to beat, regardless of whether or not it's true.
