  This move is in no way significant, but I will use this opportunity to make fun of Mike Williams, and through doing so, also make for of the Seahawks for signing him. Mike Williams joined the 2004 NFL draft class as a true sophmore after a judge ruled that…

  Wide Receiver  Syracuse 6-1 221 40 time: 4.49 Draft board overall prospect rank: #187 Draft board wide receiver rank: #21 Overall rating: 55*                 10/22/09: I gave Williams a fairly good grade on my last big board, but that will change on my…

  Tolbert was announced as a fullback, but will probably end up getting a good amount of carries at running back. The Panthers will either trade DeAngelo Williams in order to resign Jonathan Stewart, a free agent after next season, long term. Or, if Williams’ contract is too tough to…

  Mike Sims Walker is injury prone and has had some problems with his coaches in the past, but at 3.7 million for year just one, this is a fairly low risk deal. The reason I don’t like this deal is that St. Louis already had 6 receivers under contract…

    Guard/Center Florida 6-5 303 Draft board overall prospect rank: #45 Draft board overall guard rank: #4 Overall rating: 78 (2nd round) 40 time: 5.12 3/23/11: Mike Pouncey is going to draw the obvious comparisons to Maurkice Pouncey, the Steelers Pro Bowl rookie center, simply because they have the…

  3-4 Defensive End/Defensive Tackle Purdue 6-3 294 40 time: 4.86 Draft board overall prospect rank: #42 Draft board 3-4 defensive end rank: #6 Overall rating: 79*              3/28/10: Mike Neal is a very impressive defensive lineman prospect from the Purdue Boilermakers. He’s had 10 sacks in the last 2…

  Running Back Illinois 6-0 232 Draft board overall prospect rank: #23 Draft board overall running back rank: #2 Overall rating: 84 (late 1st) 40 time: 4.56 4/23/11: Mark Ingram is the best running back in this class. I think that’s the general consensus. However, Mikel Leshoure is the reason…

  Offensive Guard/Offensive Tackle  Alabama 6-6 312 40 time: 5.37 Draft board overall prospect rank: #51 Draft board overall offensive guard rank: #2 Overall rating: 78* 1/19/10: He probably wouldn’t be a top 10 tackle without his ability to play guard, but he’s an amazing run blocker. He blocked for…

    Guard Idaho 6-5 331 40 time: 5.26 Draft board overall prospect rank: #30 Draft board guard rank: #1 Overall rating: 83*             4/6/10: Mike Iupati is one of the most talked about guard prospects in a long time, drawing premature comparisons to Larry Allen, who is by far…
