There was one point in time where Monroe was considered as top 5 talent, if not [...]

First you had him penciled in at #10 going to San Francisco. Then there was speculation that Seattle wanted him, but San Francisco wasn’t willing to trade up.

Apparently, the Chiefs just turned down an offer for the No. 3 pick. The Lions would have sent the Chiefs the No. 20 and 33 overall picks in exchange for the top overall choice. Looks like they want Eugene Monroe to protect Matthew Stafford. Maybe we can get them to ...

Andre Smith is a great player ont he field but maturity issues have plagued him for months and the common belief was that he was dropping like a stone. Apparently Cincy hasn't learned their lesson with this kind of thing. For some reason this team is like a magnet for character problems. DT BJ Raji would have been a better pick than Smith even with their needs at tackle. Eugene...

First things first. I think a thank you note from the 49ers to the Raiders is in order. Don’t you?The Raiders chose Maryland wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey with the seventh pick in the first round, taking the fastest receiver in the draft but leaving Texas Tech’s Michael Crabtree, arguably the most skilled receiver, for the 49ers.This actually worked out perfectly for both...
