  21. New Orleans Hornets- PF Craig Brackins Another pick acquired in a trade, Brackins is a solid pick for a Hornets team that needed interior depth. Brackins strikes me as a Channing Frye type player at the next level, not a power guy, but a guy who can hit…

  11. Oklahoma City Thunder- C Cole Aldrich This pick was acquired in a trade with New Orleans and I’ll grade the trade for both teams after I grade all the picks, but for now I’m just going to grade this pick straight up, as if the Thunder used the…

1. Washington Wizards- PG John Wall Wall has been called a once or twice in a decade prospect by many, many experts. Experts have been wrong before, but everything I’ve seen of Wall leads me to believe that these experts won’t be wrong. He’s got to work on his maturity…

When predicting a draft, its important to know what certain drafters and organizations tend to draft San Diego Chargers- Known for being a bit unpredictable when drafting, but seem to enjoy taller players, building from the outside in, and proven college guys. Denver Broncos- Not much is known about John…

The Cowboys were about 20 million over cap after the lockout ended so the Cowboys had to cut Leonard Davis, Marion Barber, Marc Colombo and Roy Williams to get this deal, but franchise left tackles don’t grow on trees. Between Free and Tyron Smith, the Cowboys have very talented bookends…

Wide Receiver Pittsburgh 6-1 226 40 time: 4.40 Draft board overall prospect rank: #123 Draft board wide receiver rank: #15 Overall rating: 64*             4/1/10: Dorin Dickerson is possibly the most puzzling NFL Draft prospect of this year, and, for that reason, also the most interesting.…

  Surprised to see Whitner got a multiyear deal. The way the market has dried up, I didn’t think we’d see anymore. Whitner is a solid safety, but given that a comparable safety in Gerald Sensabaugh got 2.5 million over 1 year a few days ago, Whitner getting 3 years,…
