Which five teams should head into the summer feeling good about what they've done so far in the offseason? 1. Dallas Cowboys It may not seem like much, but promoting Roy Williams (receiver) and releasing Terrell Owens is going to be a big deal. Owens, as good as he was, has probably started to decline, ...Read More

A few weeks ago, Penn State coach Joe Paterno made a call for the Big Ten to follow the path of the SEC, Big 12, and ACC to expand to 12 teams in an attempt to help the Big Ten be a bigger factor on the national stage. But last week, Paterno took a much different stance from the one that he'd taken just a couple of weeks prior, saying that expansion is something that should be left in ...Read More

The NFC South was extremely competitive from top to bottom last season, with two teams making the postseason, another barely missing out, and the last-place team finishing with a .500 record. Did each team do what it needed to do in the 2009 NFL Draft to ensure that competitive remains next season and beyond? Atlanta Falcons Grade: B+ Best: Peria Jerry, DT, Mississippi Jerry was the second rated defensive tackle behind B.J. Raji, and gives the Falcons the presence in the middle ...Read More

We've done our evaluations of how the AFC's teams did in the 2009 NFL Draft. Now it's time to turn our focus to the NFC, starting with the loaded NFC East. Dallas Cowboys Grade: C Best: Jason Williams, OLB, Western Illinois Williams gives the Cowboys the athletic linebacker they thought they were getting when they drafted Bobby Carpenter.

Houston Texans Grade: B- Best: Brian Cushing, OLB, USC Cushing is perfect for either outside linebacker position, and has enough versatility to be used in the middle, as well. He plays with a head of steam, delivering nasty hits, and is reliable in coverage. Cushing ...Read More

After handing out 2009 NFL Draft team grades to the beasts of the AFC East, it's time to evaluate how the AFC North's quartet did last weekend. Baltimore Ravens Grade: B+ Best: Paul Kruger, DE, Utah Kruger is an elite defensive end with high intensity.

Am I the only one who finds a little amusement in the fact that the Denver Broncos have approached the Cleveland Browns about a trade for Brady Quinn? The fact that Quinn has even been on the trade block (and Cleveland's open lusting for USC's Mark Sanchez) is rather curious in itself, and something to be discussed in another post, but that the Broncos are an interested party is both curious and humorous, given what‘s happened over the last few months. ...Read More

2009 NFL Draft Defensive Tackle Rankings 1. B.J. Raji (Boston College) A space-eater with great mass and bulk. Fairly athletic, with solid acceleration and speed for the position. Stou agains the run, and very effective rushing against the pass, as well. Will have to improve stamina and endurance at the next level. 2. Peria Jerry (Ole Miss) Very athletic defensive tackle with exceptional ability in both rush and pass defense. Isn’t as tall as you’d like. Too small to play the position? Mass is ...Read More

Go Back to Round 2 Round 3 65. Detroit Lions - Fili Moala, DT, USC Just one of the many USC prospects, Moala has been overlooked all the way into the third round. He is a massive man with good strength, and should give the Lions an inside presence they haven't had since Shaun Rogers. 66. St. Louis Rams - Chip Vaughn, S, Wake Forest They got their tackle and receiver, now addressing the defense is their top priority. Previous: Mohamed Massaquoi, WR, Georgia 67. ...Read More
