There aren't many 340 lb NT's in this draft who can do a backflip. Great read. Thanks for the post - - would be interesting to see what his workouts are like. What round do you think he goes in????

Durant? I'd pick Oden over him.

Its no QB KILLA, but nice to see he has a website.

now replace Kornheiser with Dick Vermeil and we're set

Please tell me his uncle was Brian Bosworth A.K.A The BOZ. Sadly, he is not but if anyone is interested Bennie Blades was CB/Safety who was a legend at Miami U and went 3rd overall (not second) to the Lions NFL and Brian Blades had an 11 year career with the Seahawks as a WR. Oh yeh Brian was also convicted of manslaughter when he claimed the pistol accidentally discharged a round into his cousin while he struggled with him - - the conviction was overturned however with a jury citing not enough evidence. Oh yeh and Bennie Blades has a rap sheet as well: he plead guilty to felony charges of delinquent child support in excess of $300, 000 and was arrested for missing a court order. I like H.B Blades or more affectionatley known as Horatio Benedict Blades, Jr. It all depends on where he gets drafted but if he is available with our late third rd. or early fourth round pick i say sign him up.

I see Atlanta as the team more likely to draft Adrian Peterson than the Texans. The Texans just signed Ahman Green to a substantial contract, re-signed Ron Dayne and Gregg Knapp i think believes that you can add quality RBs later in the draft. Where as Bobby Petrino taking over in Atlanta might signal in a change from the zone blocking schemes that suited the styles of Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood.

do you know what type of track it was on? He ran 4.62 at the combine I am pretty amazed he dropped his time by a quarter of a second (0.25).

I have to admit for the longest time I thought AP was out of the realm of possibility but with rumours Cleveland is going to draft a QB the texans signing both Ahman Green and Ron Dayne it seems like there is a good chance he could be there at 12 depending on what Atlanta does with #11 (they seem set with Dunn and Norwood but with a new coach they might go in a different direction) I wouldn't let him slip past us if we had an opportunity to take. I would rank the prospects in this order: 1. Adrian Peterson 2. Okoye 3. Branch 4. Willis ( I really like him but feel like there are a lot of other potential options in the later rounds)

Brothers: Aaron Hunt (texas tech) - DL drafted 194th overall by the Denver Broncos. He had a cup of coffee in NFL and NFL europe mostly rotating on various NFL practice rosters. Now he is a D-lineman on the BC lions of CFL where he won the CFL's award for most outstanding rookie award (2006) Reggie Hunt (Texas Christian) - Safety in college now a weak side linebacker for the Saskatchewan Roughriders (regina) (CFL) who has been named to the CFL all star team on a couple occaisions. This may seem like a trivial post but i felt like mentioning it because as a big time CFL fan and someone who lives in the Roughriders hometown - - Reggie Hunt and Aaron Hunt are class acts. In the CFL where players often earn the same amount of money you could get as manager for Best Buy, the cfl is notorious for being filled with jack asses with attitude problems who start fights, deal drugs, Have unprotected sex despite being HIV infected, assault women and so on. I don't mean to disparage the entire CFL because it does have plenty of examples of great guys and Reggie Hunt is one of them - - He's very active in the community, and in a small city like Regina where the Roughriders are the biggest source of gossip i have never heard a bad word said about him, yet i have heard countless fans heap praise upon him. He is commited and driven towards football moreover he has been a leader by example for the one of the best defenses in the CFL. I had a chance to sit down with both Reggie and Aaron Hunt last september prior to a BC lions Roughriders game and came away with the impression that these were the two most down to earth proffesional athletes i have ever hung out with. Whether or not Tony Hunt has the talent to be an elite NFL Running Back is still in the air but if he is anything like his two older brothers attitude, motivation and drive will not be a question.

Seems like a very reasonable contract 3 years 12 mil. Nice Signing for the Bucs.

He is a far too tantalizing prospect to last to pick # 12. The kid is 19 and weighed in at 287 for senior bowl a month later at the combine he has already added 15 pounds and weighs in at 302 lbs while still running a very respectable 40 time (5.02). The guy has an incredible work ethic - - he came to the US from Nigeria at age 12 by the time he was 16 he was playing for Louisville. He graduated in december with a 3.0 grade average. The age is what impresses me the most and the fact that he probably still hasen't completly grown into his body. I really hope the Bill's take him at 12 but as I compare him and Branch Im starting to believe that Okoye is the #1 prospect at DT and won't be available with the 12th pick.

The problem is the double standard in the CBA - teams can cut players any time they want to without honouring the final years of the contract. The NFL career is the shortest of any pro athlete often cut short due to injury from playing a grueling sport. Its absurd that their union hasn't been able to negotiate guaranteed contracts. Football is without a doubt the mot popular sport in North America right now, yet baseball and basketball and even hockeyplayers have guaranteed contracts. Gil Meche 55 million dollars over 5 years???? yes it sucks for a fan to see the teams star player involved in contractual dispute but the fact of the matter is Frank Gore could step on to the field for the first pre-season game of the year and tear his acl and mcl in three places effectively ending his career or at least completly diminshing his market value, I applaud Rosenhaus for looking out for his players interest. If Gore gets a new deal he will have a chance to set up his family for generations. Look at David Pollack his career is likely over from a broken neck, i bet you every day he wakes up thank his agent for getting him as much money as he could while he played the game he loved.

We won't pick a cb cause the cover two doesn't place a high value on CB's who can cover man to man eg lock down type players. Its those type of players who are rated high in the draft. All they are looking for is a CB with good instincts who can come up and make tackles.

I'd be all for Ricky Williams. I heard his agent lee steinberg on the radio and unless he gets waived by Miami he has to play for the Dolphins. I think as long as Cam Cameron wants him he will be a Dolphin. Ricky is a changed man IMO.

40 time: 4.56 at the combine, 4.55 at his proday. Those are dissapointing numbers for a guy who is 5'10 and weighs 205lbs. i wouldn't draft this guy at all not even with a 7th round pick there are plenty other talented backs out there. To put it in perspective Tony Hunt is 6'2 235 and he ran 4.60

Than you will remember Mel Kiper had Mike Williams as his #1 prospect overall in the 2005 draft.

Without a doubt one of the of best fullbacks in the league IMO. I don't think Fairchild's offense places much value in FB though.

They sure didn't give up much - - Tim Carter is all it takes to get a guy who ran for 1200 + a year a go . I know Reuben had the off field drinking and driving incident last year but given the Browns O-line problems i would have welcomed him here to Buffalo. At 28 I think he has a lot left in the tank.

No way AP slips past the Browns at 3. I thought there was a chance when they aquired Jamaal Lewis (1 yr deal) but the Reuben Droughns trade to the NY Giant makes it all but a certainty the Browns will draft him.

Interesting to here, I love it when skill players get converted to line positions cause it generally means that they were good enough athletes to play another position. Jason Peters comes to mind or even Warren Sapp who played TE and Linebacker in Highschool.

Antonio Pittman should not be ranked that high.

Maybe Marv will get some inside information from Joe Paterno at the seniors early bird breakfast special. My view of Posluzny is that he regressed a bit last year with the move to ILB and coming off the injury. I am a huge fan of Tony Hunt, although I think #43 overall for him is a bit too high for him. I see Hunt as the 6th rated RB 1. A. Peterson 2. Marshawn Lynch 3. Micheal Bush 4. Kenny Irons 5. Chris henry 6. Tony Hunt
