The Atlanta Falcons had an excellent regular season. They won 13 games, winning the division over the defending Super Bowl Champion Saints, who happen to be their closest rival. They also beat the Saints once in New Orleans. Matt Ryan took the from good quarterback to great quarterback in the…

Defensive End/Rush Linebacker USC 6-3 273 40 time: 4.64 Draft board overall prospect rank: #25 Draft board defensive end rank: #3 Overall rating: 85*              3/28/10: Everson Griffen has had the eyes of the scouts glued to him since he was a freshman at USC. He…

  Evan Mathis was actually ProFootballFocus’ #1 rated guard last season, though that’s a bit misleading. He’s had trouble with injuries and inconsistencies in his career in the past so there’s no guarantee he’ll be even close to the #1 guard next season. Because he’s not established, I wouldn’t even…

  Trade for Lions: Interesting deal. I like Tony Scheffler as a player. However, the Lions just spent the 20th overall pick on Brandon Pettigrew last year (over a potential franchise left tackle guy like Michael Oher nonetheless). Yes, Pettigrew is a great blocker and Scheffler is a great pass…

  Erin Henderson might be the single most underrated player in the league. In his first year as a starter, he ended up grading out as the 4th best 4-3 outside linebacker on ProFootballFocus. Most of the league hasn’t really caught up to that yet because there’s only so much…

  Well, the Buccaneers needed a cornerback. That’s about where this one stops making sense. Eric Wright isn’t very good. Ask Browns and Lions fans. There’s a reason he was available on a one year deal for the Lions last offseason. There’s a reason the Lions weren’t too eager to…

Eric Weddle is a great player and a top 5 safety in this league. I just don’t like the idea of giving 5 years, 40 million, with 19 million guaranteed the richest deal ever for a safety, to anyone not named Troy Polamalu or Ed Reed. This deal pays Weddle…

  Rush Linebacker/outside linebacker  South Carolina 6-1 245 40 time: 4.67 Draft board overall prospect rank: #34 Draft board rush linebacker rank: #4 Overall rating: 82* 1/21/10: He has experience playing standing up at South Carolina, despite being a defensive end, and he has looked dropping back into coverage on…
