Yesterday, I gave my take on who my fantasy top 10 for the 2008 NFL season. Today, I give a fantasy top 10 again, but this time around, it's all about the rookies. There are a lot of rookies that could make a difference for their teams, and for your fantasy team, this season, and these are the guys that I think will come up the biggest. 1. Kevin Smith, RB, Detroit: The Lions skipped on Rashard Mendenhall in ...Read More

Now that the NFL Draft is over, it's time to take a look back at some of the big winners from the weekend. Two teams who came into the draft needing a great weekend to aid their rebuilding process were the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins. They did just that, but they weren't the only teams that did well on Saturday and Sunday. Winners Kansas City Chiefs: Undoubtedly the biggest winner. Thanks to the Falcons taking ...Read More

For several of the teams picking 17th through 24th, last season ended early in the playoffs or just shy, so the first round of the draft presents the opportunity to nab a player at a key position that will help them turn 2007's disappointments into celebrations in 2008. After breaking down the first 16 picks, we resume with #17, and the Minnesota Vikings, who may or may not need a quarterback in the first couple of rounds. 17. Minnesota Vikings: ...Read More

Yesterday, I analyzed the options that teams with picks 1-8 in the upcoming NFL Draft have, and what talented prospects they're most likely to pin their hopes and dreams on. Today, I give a rundown of picks 9-16, starting and ending with offensively-productive who need help on defense to enhance their playoff chances, the Cincinnati Bengals at #9, and the Arizona Cardinals at #16. 9. Cincinnati Bengals: We know they're going defense, but what direction will they go? The Bengals ...Read More

The NFC West, at least in its current incarnation, has never produced a Super Bowl champion, and the last team in the division to win the Big Game was the St. Louis Rams in 2000. Needless to say, the division has been fighting for respectability for nearly a decade. At least one team, the Seahawks, is a legitimate Super Bowl threat and this year’s draft is an important one, as they may only need a player or two to get ...Read More

The 1996 NFL Draft class was one of the best ever for the wide receiver position.  That class saw the emergence of future NFL greats Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn, Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens from the collegiate level to the NFL.  This year, many experts are predicting an equally impressive crop.  This draft class is full of star-studded All-Americans and darkhorse candidates alike.  Let's sift through and (borrowing from Emmit Smith) see if we can tell the diamonds from the trash. There are 3 ...Read More

Dozens of draft prospects went into the NFL scouting combine looking to improve their draft standing by impressing the plethora of scouts and coaches in attendance in Indianapolis. From the sure bets to the sleepers, just about everyone had a little something to prove and improve. And, after nearly a week of interviews, drills, examinations, and in general being sized up, down, and every way possible, there were a lot of prospects who jetted out of Indy in a far ...Read More

For quite a while on Sunday afternoon, much of the talk was about Arkansas' Darren McFadden and his apparent combine-best 4.27 40 time that he posted. However, when the official numbers came out, McFadden was knocked off of the top by East Carolina's Chris Johnson. Johnson's best time on Sunday had been an unofficial 4.29, which put him just behind D-MC, but when the official times came out, Johnson bested McFadden, whose 4.27 became a 4.33 - still plenty ...Read More

There may be no Randy Moss or Jerry Rice in this year's crop of wide receivers, but teams looking to upgrade their receiving corps should be able to find someone to fit the bill. This solid, deep pool of players has a good mix of speed and size to complement any NFL roster. Let's take a look at some of the players that could be big catches for clubs come draft day. 1. DeSean Jackson, 6’0, 178, California: Jackson is a fast ...Read More
