  Average total drafted in last 5 years: 28.8 1. Luke Kuechly (Boston College) Top 15 2. Dont’a Hightower (Alabama) 1 3. Lavonte David (Nebraska) 2 4. Mychal Kendricks (California) 2 5. Zach Brown (North Carolina) 2 6. Bobby Wagner (Utah State) 2-3 7. Sean Spence (Miami) 3-4 8. Nigel…

  The full value of this deal is 5 years 33.5 million, but it’s essentially a one year, 8 million dollar prove it deal because only the first year is guaranteed (7 million signing bonus, 1 million base). But still, 8 million dollars a year for one of the worst…

Deal for Seahawks: Yet another veteran going for cheap. If I was an NFL team, I would definitely trade 2-3 mid round picks for proven vets this offseason. Washington is not a starting caliber back, but he’s an explosive change of pace guy and a Pro-Bowl kick returner, two things…

  Leon Hall is one of the best cornerbacks in the league when he’s right. He was arguably better than any cornerback not named Darrelle Revis or Charles Woodson in 2009 and the Bengals are betting he bounces back from an injury plagued down year in 2010. If he does,…

  Wide Receiver Miami 6-2 209 Draft board overall prospect rank: #28 Draft board overall wide receiver rank: #4 Overall rating: 82 (early 2nd) 40 time: 4.45 3/28/11: Time travel with me for a bit. The year is 2008 and Kenny Phillips has just been taken 32nd overall by the…

Deal for Seahawks: LenDale White is a risk, but the Seahawks pretty much give up nothing to get him, moving down from 104 to 111 in the 4th round to get him. If anyone can bring LenDale White’s talent back out, it’s Pete Carroll so I really like this move,…

  Running Back Oregon 6-0 241 40 time: 4.62 Draft board overall prospect rank: #148 Draft board running back rank: #13 Overall rating: 60*             LeGarrette Blount burst onto the national stage in a big way this year. The thing is, he probably wishes he hadn’t. Blount burst onto the…

  Trade for Buffalo: Buffalo isn’t going anywhere fast and the only place Evans is going is south ability wise. Why not trade him, get a 4th rounder back, and see if David Nelson can have a Steve Johnson esque season this year. Grade: A Trade for Baltimore: They really…

  Just weeks after resigning LaMarr Woodley for 6 years 61.5 million, the Steelers keep another young part of their amazing defense in town with a 6 year 50 million dollar deal. He’s one of the best middle linebackers in the league and deserves to be paid as such. Grade:…
