  Tight End  Oklahoma 6-5 259 40 time: 4.76 Draft board overall prospect rank: #21 Draft board tight end rank: #1 Overall rating: 86* 2/27/10: After his 4.76 40, questions about the health of his knee have resurfaced. That’s the last thing Gresham wants to happen at this point. 4.76…

  Defense End/Rush Linebacker Florida 6-3 266 40 time (projected): 4.69 Draft board overall prospect rank: #57 Draft board defensive end rank: #7 Overall rating: 77* 1/21/10: He doesn’t have amazing athleticism, but he has an amazing motor and that’s really half of the battle. He would fit very well as…

  Zuttah is a pretty average guard, ranking 25th according to ProFootballFocus last season, allowing 2 sacks, 15 pressures, and committing 8 penalties in 12 games at left guard for Tampa Bay last season. Given that, 4 years, 16 million seems pretty reasonable for him. The Buccaneers have needs at…

Wide Receiver Tulane 6-0 206 40 time: 4.57 Draft board overall prospect rank: #65 Draft board wide receiver rank: #7 Overall rating: 75*              3/27/10: Jeremy Williams would be one of my favorite wide receivers of this draft class if it weren’t for two things,…

  The Jaguars needed to resign Mincey, otherwise they would need two new defensive ends this offseason, with all of their needs on the offensive side of the ball too, because they weren’t serious contenders for Mario Williams or John Abraham. Given that, I think they got a great deal…

  Defensive End Oklahoma 6-2 262 Draft board overall prospect rank: #105 Draft board overall defensive end rank: #16 Overall rating: 67 (late 3rd) 40 time: 5.13 4/12/10: When you look at Jeremy Beal’s stats, you’d think he could be a first round pick as a pass rusher. He has…

  Wow this is a surprise. I would have though Saturday would sign with the Broncos in Denver and rejoin Peyton Manning, but I guess I can see why he went to Green Bay. After all, they did recently win a Super Bowl and they do have a gaping hole…

By Sean Geddes   Today, the Steelers waived kicker Jeff Reed, and signed Shaun Suisham. Reed is currently 13th all time in field goal percentage and tenth among active kickers, but his misses this year, some in big time situations, combined with his off field antics and recent verbal lashing of fans,…

    Guard/Center USC 6-3 301 40 time (projected): 5.15 Draft board overall prospect rank: #153 Draft board guard rank: #9 Overall rating: 59*             Jeff Byers was one of the more highly recruited centers of the decade before he committed to USC, who moved him to guard. He missed…

  I’m torn on this one. Jeff Backus sucks and at 35 in September, he’s not getting much better. Last season, he allowed 7 sacks, 36 pressures, and committed 11 penalties. The Lions really need to draft a new left tackle. However, this is a thin left tackle class and…
