  Outside Linebacker  Georgia 5-11 235 40 time: 4.72 Draft board overall prospect rank: #205 Draft board outside linebacker rank: #16 Overall rating: 53* 3/1/10: Put on some weight which led me to move them up my chart. However, didn’t carry the weight well. Ran a 4.72 so I’m moving…

  Well this is surprising. For weeks we thought Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne were a package deal. Today when I found out that they weren’t necessarily, some speculated that Arizona, Denver, or Miami could sign him in order to increase their chances of signing Manning. I don’t think anyone…

  Nelson is a solid safety who rated 28th on ProFootballFocus. 18 million over 4 years might be a slight overpay for someone who doesn’t tackle particularly well, but the Bengals don’t have a lot of choices in a weak safety draft class and free agency class. Grade: B

  9/3/11: Holy crap Mike Shanahan has turned Rex Grossman into a passable signal caller. He’s done this before with Jake Plummer and while quarterback isn’t their only problem, I won’t pick them to be a laughing stock anymore.  Rex Grossman predicts the Redskins will win the NFC East. Rex Grossman…

By Anthony Brown  The Redskins are 3.5 underdogs to the Colts Sunday night. That’s expected.  But beating the Eagles in Philadelphia and Washington’s eye-opening win over the Packers last Sunday has the smart guys reassessing. Stat-master Paul Bessire at Predictionmachine.com upped his assessment of the Skins. After accounting for Mike Shanahan’s…

By Anthony Brown  The Washington Redskins finished the first quarter of the NFL season the way they will likely end the year, hovering around .500. What do we know from that? Wins over Dallas and Philadelphia tell us the ‘Skins will play competitive ball. The loss to St. Louis (apparently better…
