(6) New York Jets - Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB Ohio State
The Jets would love to get either Matt Ryan or McFadden with this pick but they'll have no problem settling for one of the best defensive prospects in this draft, Vernon Gholston. With all the talent Gholston has, it won't take long before he's ...

The signing of Matt Ryan to a long-term, high guaranteed money deal sends a clear message to Michael Vick and the NFL's largest black ticket base: Vick's not coming back as a QB under any circumstances.

Since my last mock, the bulk of the free agency period has come and gone, thus changing the specific needs listed last time. The combine is also in our rear view mirror as the only workouts left for draft eligible players is their Pro Days. So without any further interruption here is my newly updated mock draft.
1. Miami Dolphins - Jake Long. LT. Michigan.
Needs: (LB, DB, WR...

Which college prospects who will be drafted in the 2008 NFL Draft will be worth the most in fantasy football in 2008? Here's an early look.
5. Matt Ryan, Quarterback
Rookie quarterbacks aren't usually highly valued in fantasy football but there is a chance that Ryan plays right away at the NFL level...
This is one of the happiest days of my life. Not only for myself, but also for the Falcons owner, the head coach, my teammates, and the city of Atlanta, we needed this win so bad. I've had a lot of nervous energy leading up to today, knowing how much rides on this. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression. We spent the pre-season talking about how we were...

The solid choice here is Jake Long, however I really think with the signing of Jacob Bell and a ton of bodies coming back from injuries the Rams may get aggressive and take Vernon Gholston. If Chris Long is still available this will be a very tough pick. The Rams need to help out their defense which ...

The drafting of Vernon Gholston didn't seem like the right move to a lot of NFL analysts but fans saw it as the Jets finally adding a speedy pass rusher. I mean hey he was the only guy who seemed to know how to get past fellow AFC East Dolphin's 1st overall pick Jake Long in college. With the ...

It took the Jets approximately an hour to call Rex Ryan after the Ravens lost on Sunday and agree to him being hired as the Jets new Head Coach. Considering he's pretty much a defensive guru here are a few quick things that I hope he can solve with the defense. 1. Motivate Kris Jenkins in the offseason to get in shape so that he doesn't fade over the final weeks of the year...

by Matt Loede, NFL Gridiron GabSometimes you get the calls a?" sometimes you don't. Sunday in Philly, the Falcons were by all means robbed by the refs, as the stripes called a fumble on a punt when it looked like Adam Jennings may have touched the ball on the Falcons 40 with 2:28 to go.If the Falcons get the ball, which they should have, they would have had a shot for rookie...

At the risk of sounding ungrateful, Kyle Orton's AMAZING touchdown throw to Rashied Davis just ruined this entire post. I guess it doesn't pay to start writing before the game is over, huh?
Short of drawing on manly stubble with a marker, outfitting him in Wrangler jeans, and teaching him how to speak with an oh-so-gentle southern draw, the Bears couldn't have made...
