  DE Frank Alexander DOWN I was impressed that Alexander bulked up to 270, which he needed to do because he’s not the most athletic, but it’s always a bad sign when someone bulks up that much and then chooses not to work out without a clear injury. We’ll have…

  QB Robert Griffin UP There was some speculation that Griffin would measure in at close to 6, which would be a red flag. However, he measured in at 6-2 3/8, smaller, but he has pretty much the same build Aaron Rodgers does. Griffin’s abilities remind me of Rodgers’ coming…

  CB Crezdon Butler- Clemson UP A very impressive 4.41 at 6-0 191, plus he did well in his positional drills, which I find to be the most important thing from him as a late round prospect. CB/FS Chris Cook- Virginia UP He has free safety size, but he’s looked…

  DE/RLB Everson Griffen- USC UP Griffen put on about 10 pounds this season bulking up to 273 and there were some concerns about how he would carry the weight. After he ran a 4.64 40 today, those concerns should be gone. He also put up 32 reps of 225…

  WR Dezmon Briscoe Kansas- DOWN 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 his time would be bad, but I didn’t expect this bad. RB/WR Antonio Brown- Central Michigan DOWN When you’re trying to…

  OT Bruce Campbell UP The 6-6 314 pound left tackle just ran a 4.78. In all honesty, this barely moves him up in my book, but after running a 4.78, measuring in with 36 inch arms, jumping 38 inches, and benching 225 pounds 34 times, Campbell has been the…

  QB Sam Bradford UP It is reported that Bradford’s shoulder examination went excellent. I am also hearing that a dozen or possibly more NFL GMs were asked about Clausen and Bradford and all of them liked Bradford more. I still like Clausen more, but that won’t matter, if the Rams like…

  TE Nate Byham Up If Byham was going to get drafted, it would be as a blocker. Measuring in at 268 certainly helps his cause to be viewed as one of the best run blocking tight ends in this draft class TE Garrett Graham Up He’s still on the small side…

  9/8/11: Manning expected to be done for the season.  9/6/11: Uh oh. Manning looks set to miss 4 games. Those 4 games, Houston, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, all losable games. It wouldn’t surprise me to see them start 0-4. They’re going to have a tough time making the playoffs.   9/3/11: Peyton…

  Quarterback Drew Stanton is currently the #1 quarterback on their depth chart. Hmm…I wonder who they’ll draft #1 overall. Tight End Dallas Clark and Jacob Tamme are gone. The top tight end on their roster is Brody Eldridge. Eldridge has 14 career catches. In 4 years at Oklahoma, he…
