  Outside Linebacker Iowa 6-3 247 40 time: 4.67 Draft board overall prospect rank: #101 Draft board outside linebacker rank: #9                 4/17/10: AJ Edds is one of the best pure strong side linebackers in this draft class, because of his size, but he…

  Ahmad Brooks is a solid pass rusher, but he’s not elite. Last season, he had 7 sacks and 40 pressures, solid stats, but he’s really just a good #2 pass rusher and not a #1 type guy. That’s what he is for the 49ers because they have Aldon Smith…

  Normally I don’t like giving big money to running backs, especially ones with injury problems in the past, but Bradshaw is only 25 and this deal only pays him 4.5 million a year for 4 years, with half of that guaranteed. Considering Reggie Bush got 5 million per year…

By Kevin Harrison  The Jets playing in the Mile-High city of Denver still brings back bad memories.  All of you Jet fans know exactly what I’m talking about.  The 1998 Jets and Vinny Testervede held a 10 point half-time lead in the AFC Championship game and fumbled away a chance at…

San Diego Chargers The Chargers struggled in the start of the 2010 season, nothing new to them. They started 2-5, but like they had in recent years, everyone expected them to be able to bounce back. They looked well on their way, winning 4 in a row, before losing to…

Houston Texans  The Houston Texans have never made the playoffs. They have been trendy sleeper picks for the past few years and have never come through. Some people have sworn off of making them sleepers. I am not one of those people. In fact, this is the first year I…

  Baltimore Ravens Joe Flacco has more wins in his first 3 seasons than any quarterback not named Dan Marino, but there is one thing he’s yet to do and that’s beat Ben Roethlisberger. Flacco has beaten the Steelers twice in those 3 years, but that was when Ben was…

  New England Patriots At this time last year, some were talking about the Patriots as a potential 9-7 or 8-8 team that would miss the playoffs. The Jets were the talk of the division and some were even speculating the Dolphins were better than the Patriots. Their defense was…

  3-4 Defensive End/Defensive End Iowa 6-3 281 Draft Board Overall Prospect Rank: #46 Draft Board Overall 3-4 Defensive End Rank: #7 Rating: 78 (mid 2nd) 40 time: 4.81 4/16/11: Nothing new, but his Erb’s Palsy in his right arm, which limits his strength, is really starting to scare me a…

  Offensive Tackle  Texas 6-5 300 40 time: 5.53 Draft board overall prospect rank: #93 Draft board offensive tackle rank: #10 Overall rating: 71*  1/23/10: A very good athlete at 6-8 310 who uses his size well to stop the pass rush, but he’s not thick enough and doesn’t play with…
