Football Fan Spot

Pseudonym: DKSB Email: dksb17@gmail.com Twitter: twitter.com/dksb17 Blog: http://davekriegsstrikebeard.blogspot.com/  I have been a Seahawks fan since 1983, and I have watched every game in person or on live TV since week 1 of the ’83 season. I’ve been writing about the Seahawks since 2003, but I started my own Seahawks-specific blog…

  Wide Receiver Kansas 6-3 210 40 time: 4.61 Draft board overall prospect rank: #61 Draft board wide receiver rank: #6 Overall rating: 76* 2/28/10: He’s a talented physical receiver, but receivers who run 4.61 40s normally have a lot of trouble gaining separation in the NFL. I was afraid…

  Wide Receiver  Oklahoma State 6-2 225 40 time: 4.52 Draft board overall prospect rank: #19 Draft board wide receiver rank: #2 Overall rating: 86* 3/30/10: Bryant’s measurables and workout in the positional drills, especially after basically a year off of football, were really impressive considering he was wearing brand new…

  Wide Receiver/Running Back  Mississippi 5-9 172 40 time: 4.55 Draft board overall prospect rank: #82 Draft board overall running back rank: #8 Overall rating: 73* 2/28/10: Surprisingly, his 4.55 40 at 5-9 173 doesn’t hurt him that much in my book, but it has to hurt him some considering…

  Tulloch must have taken a pay cut to stay in Detroit and play for Jim Schwartz in a wide nine scheme again because 25 million over 5 years with only 11.2 million guaranteed is a steal for a player who ranked 7th among middle linebackers on ProFootballFocus’ in Detroit’s…

By Dean Holden    It’s finally time for the inevitable record prediction. Despite being asked multiple times, I’ve avoided giving any concrete predictions on the season until now. Much like giving draft grades or making calls on free agent moves, it’s meaningless to do so until you get an initial…

By Dean Holden  The Detroit Lions lost to the New York Giants on Sunday by their second-largest margin of the season. That margin was eight points. Makes you think, doesn’t it? The Lions are a 1-5 team, and it has been a frustrating 1-5. But for the same reason that they…

Debate the Lions Off Season in the Football Fan Forum 2010 Preview: I wouldn’t be surprised if the Detroit Lions went 2-14 or 3-13 again. I wouldn’t be surprised if they won 5-7 games, I wouldn’t be too surprised if they won 8 or 9. It almost entirely will depend on…

  13. DT Nick Fairley A- Lions GM Martin Mayhew probably jizzed in his pants when he saw he had the choice between Fairley, Robert Quinn, and Prince Amukamara. I think Quinn and Amukamara filled bigger needs, but if Fairley was tops on their board, which he obviously was, I…

  Maybe last offseason DeSean Jackson was worth this amount, 5 years, 51 million with 15 million guaranteed, but even then it was a stretch. In 2010, he had 47 catches for 1056 yards and 6 touchdowns. Last season he had 58 catches for 961 yards and 4 touchdowns. He…
