  Kellen Davis spent the first 2 years of his career as purely a blocker and then was moved into a more featured role last year, but because Mike Martz has no idea how to use a tight end, he managed just 18 catches. The Bears believe he can be…

  Trade for Cincinnati: Rivers is an above average linebacker when healthy, but the Bengals have a good depth of linebackers already (Maualuga, Manny Lawson, Thomas Howard, and 2011 3rd rounder Dontay Moch) and they had one of the best defenses in the league last season without Rivers playing a…

Bill Parcells loves his linebackers and Dansby fills a huge hole in the middle of Miami’s defense. They gave him a fair rate, 5 years 43 million, especially when you consider that Dansby was the youngest of the top free agents. I have no major complaints here, but I’m not…

  Debate the Chiefs offseason and more in the Football Fan Forum Last season: 4-12 2010 Preview: This team added some decent players through the draft, but this team is still going to struggle to pressure the opposing quarterback, protect their quarterback, and, thanks to a mediocre supporting cast on offensive,…

  This is a classic Raider move. The Raiders will give up one of their 2 3rd rounders, though it has not yet been announced which, either theirs or the one they obtained from the Patriots for Derrick Burgess. Kamerion Wimbley has 15.5 sacks in the last three years combined.…

  Deal for Jacksonville: Smiley fills a need up front for the Jaguars and when he’s healthy, he’s a good guard, especially in pass protection. Getting a starting caliber guard for a 7th round pick is a pretty good deal. The Jaguars ranked 27th in the league in attempts per…

  Defensive End/Rush Linebacker Georgia 6-3 267 Draft Board Overall Prospect Rank: #20 Draft Board Overall Defensive End Rank: #6 Rating: 85 (mid 1st) 40 time: 4.57 4/26/11: Houston failed a drug test for marijuana at The Combine. This is more of a stupidity test than anything. You know you’re going…

  When I saw the Falcons resigned Blalock, I was impressed they were able to walk away from free agency only losing one offensive lineman and also signing a much needed pass rushing left end in Ray Edwards. Then I saw how much they paid him. Did they overpay Blalock,…
