Football Fan Spot

  Although Eric Karkovack was born and raised in Pennsylvania, he became a Saints fan at a very young age.  Living in a town that was at the time home to the Washington Redskins training camp, not to mention a plethora of Eagles and Steelers fans, Eric somehow managed to…

  Wide Receiver  Minnesota 6-3 217 40 time (projected): 4.54 Draft board overall prospect rank: #58 Draft board wide receiver rank: #5 Overall rating: 77* 1/17/10: What you see is what you get with him, but what you’re getting is a big consistent #2 option with good hands. He’s not overly…

  Free safety/strong safety  Tennessee 6-0 211 40 time: 4.40 Draft board overall prospect rank: #4 Draft board safety rank: #1 Overall rating: 98*  3/2/10: Of all the good things we could say about Berry, freakish athleticism was not one of them. That is no longer the case as he…

  It was reported earlier in the week that Washington would sign Royal for 2 years, 12 million, but that didn’t happen. This is a more reasonable deal for him, 13.5 million over 3 with 6 million guaranteed. He’s been inconsistent in his career, but has the upside of an…

  Tight End  Oregon 6-4 250 40 time: 4.67 Draft board overall prospect rank: #86 Draft board tight end rank: #5 Overall rating: 73*                 11/23/09: Dickson is one of the best receiving tight ends in the 2010 NFL Draft class. He has three…

  Doucet is not a spectacular receiver or anything, but at 4 million over 2 years, he’s a good value for the Cardinals in a resign. Barring the 13th overall pick being used on a receiver, Doucet will compete with Andre Roberts for the #2 receiver job in Arizona. He…

  Free Safety Texas 5-10 208 40 time: 4.44 Draft board overall prospect rank: #15 Draft board safety rank: #2 Overall rating: 87* 1/23/10: Undersized and has poor tackling form, but he hits hard and his fundamental tackling issues can be corrected. He’s only 20 years old, but he had…

  9/3/11: Hold off on the dream team talk. The offensive line played very poor this offseason and Michael Vick looked more like the quarterback he was in Atlanta than the quarterback he was last year, still good, but hardly Superman. DeSean Jackson didn’t play well either and Jeremy Maclin will…

  Middle Linebacker Andy Reid has never put great value in the linebacker position and it showed last season. Their linebacker play was awful. If Andy Reid is smart, he’ll draft a good linebacker like Luke Kuechly at 15. His job is on the line. Outside Linebacker One upgrade at…

() FA Rank QB Michael Vick (#2)- franchised Andy Reid brought the most out of Michael Vick this season, turning him into an MVP candidate and a true dual threat at quarterback, more than living up to his potential as a former #1 overall pick. He’ll get paid. RB Jerome…
