  The financials of this deal have not been released, but it’s a two year deal and I’m expecting it to be a fairly cheap deal. If anyone can bring the former Pro-Bowler back out of Roy Williams, it’s Mike Martz, his coordinator in 2006 when he made the Pro…

  Brown averaged just 3.7 yards per carry last year and is always a major injury problem, but he’s a great pass blocker and pass catcher and as a backup, injuries won’t be as big of a problem. The Eagles got him really cheap for 1 million over a year.…

Bartell missed essentially the entire 2011 season with a broken neck, but he’s been medically cleared by both the Rams’ and the Raiders’ doctors. They Rams just cut him because of his salary and because they intended to go after Cortland Finnegan as their #1 cornerback. However, Bartell had a…

Harper is getting paid 7.125 million dollars per year in this new deal. Harper is a beast in run support, but a liability somewhat in coverage. I don’t think he’s well rounder enough to earn that amount. The franchise tag value for safeties for 2010 (2011 numbers not yet released)…

  Middle Linebacker  Alabama 6-3 249 40 time: 4.69 Draft Board overall ranking: #7 Draft Board middle linebacker ranking: #1 Overall rating: 92* 1/23/10: 3-4 middle linebackers prospects rarely go top 10, but McClain might be an exception. At age 21, McClain is drawing some pretty warranted, though still premature,…

  Guard Florida State 6-2 299 Draft board overall prospect rank: #78 Draft board overall guard rank: #7 Overall rating: 72 (3rd round) 40 time: 5.22 4/20/11: There’s never been any question about Rodney Hudson’s technique. Ever since he stepped on Florida State’s campus as a freshman, he’s been a…

    Trade for Seahawks: We knew this was going to happen. New offensive line coach Alex Gibbs didn’t think Sims would fit into his scheme and he basically told him not to show up to camp until a trade was worked out. Anytime you do something like that, you’re…

  Tight End Florida Atlantic 6-5 244 Draft board overall prospect rank: #136 Draft board overall tight end rank: #5 Overall rating: 61 (late 4th) 40 time: 4.51 3/29/11: Rob Housler was one of the big surprises of The Combine for me. After being listed at 6-5 215 by ESPN…

  Tight End  Arizona 6-6 258 40 time: 4.65 Draft board overall prospect rank: #38 Draft board tight end rank: #2 Overall rating: 80* 3/27/10: There were rumors that, after back surgery that caused him to miss all of last season, he was still not healthy. I think he proved that…
