2011 NFL Scouting Combine: Defensive Linemen

I've been an avid Draftnik since 2004 and have been running NFL Draft Dog since 2007 and I have never seen a defensive line class this talented. There could be as many as 9 defensive tackles taken in the 1st round, and that's not including some of the smaller ends that will probably get moved to outside linebacker. Auburn's Nick Fairley and Alabama's Marcell Dareus...

2011 NFL Scouting Combine: Running Backs

Image: Jordan TodmanThe running backs were also on display Sunday (February 27th) at the 2011 NFL Scouting Combine and quite honestly I wasn't very impressed. This 2011 NFL Draft won't be real strong at the running back position.2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram came in a little lighter than his playing weight of 225 pounds. He weighed in at the combine at 5' 9"...

2011 NFL Scouting Combine: The Wide Recievers

Image: Edmund GatesThe receivers worked out on Sunday (27 February 2011) and as expected there were some very fast prospects on the field. Alabam WR Julio Jones pretty much stole the show with a fantastic performance, he will now compete with Georgia WR A.J. Green to be the first receiver selected in the 2011 NFL Draft. Jones was much faster than anticipated, at 6' 3" 220...

2011 NFL Scouting Combine: Tight Ends

The tight ends were on display today at the 2011 NFL Scouting Combine and we didn't have any Vernon Davis like performances. If you remember during the 2006 Combine, Davis, measuring at 6' 3" 254 pounds ran a 4.38 forty yard dash. He ended up being drafted in the first round (6th overall) and signed a 5-year 23 million dollar deal with the San Francisco 49ers. He hasn...

2011 NFL Scouting Combine: Offensive Line

The tight ends and and offensive linemen were on the field Saturday (26 February 2011) going through various drills, getting weighed, jumping and running.

Solder ran the...

To Critique an NFL Mock Draft

Its not every day I publicly critique an NFL Mock Draft, but a young man named Jack Mitchell just started new NFL Draft Website called The Mitchell Draft Company and he asked me to check out his 2011 NFL Mock Draft.

Top small school QB prospects

This April’s upcoming NFL Draft is one deprived of top tier talent at the quarterback position. The skill level is thin at both, the top part and in the late rounds, where only a handful of prospects are graded as legitimate NFL-type passers.Due to the lack of overall talent the number of QBs from non-BCS schools that can find their name called in the Draft is high.Here is a list...

LSU marching with the Zach 'attack'

Zach Mettenberger is in a great position to unseat Jordan Jefferson as the LSU Tigers starting QB this spring and eventually lead the supremely talented Tigers to its first national title since 2007.If that was to be the case, Mettenberger would have completed an incredible turnaround that saw him being kicked out of Georgia last April while serving as a redshirt freshman signal...

2011 Senior Bowl Review

2011 Senior Bowl 29 January 2011 Christian Ponder started foe the South, he isn't flashy, doesn't have a canon but gets rid of the ball quickly. Miami WR Leonard Hankerson (6' 3" 205 lbs.) made a nice play on an under thrown ball. Lee Ziemba played right tackle for the south, he has got great potential. DT Sione Fua (6' 2" 306) from Stanford made excellent...
