“Bracket Busters” NFL Draft
yinzpitt.com
In the spirit of March Madness, I thought we would have our own version of Bracket Busters, except Mock draft busters. Players who could shoot up in the draft that will destroy mock drafts much like Tyson Alaualu did last year.
I posed this question to our writers and the first one to respond was Nick Castillo and here’s who he thought could make mock drafter looks...

Mike Mayock’s Big Board Release
From now on I'll just link the picture to where I got it.
Well, it’s that time where we know the draft is officially fast approaching as Mike Mayock has stopped teasing us with his top five by position and puts out his top 32 players.
Mayock is not always right. No one is, but he’s knowledgeable and does good work and is one of the best draft analysts out there (right...

Scouting Report: Jon Baldwin
PathToTheDraft.com
When it comes to scouting Pittsburgh WR Jon Baldwin, you won’t find many other receiving prospects in this year’s draft that use their body to their advantage as well as he does. At 6’4”, 228 lbs., Baldwin is a big receiver who uses his long stride to beat cornerbacks down the field. He is also a great target in the red zone with his height and ability...

2011 NFL Mock Draft Part Three: Newton Still on Top
1. Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton, Quarterback, Auburn
Cam Newton is Still the Top Pick
The Panthers have shown a clear interest in Cam Newton to this point, there’s no question about it. As we head into a new year with hopefully a new CBA, the investment in Newton will not be anywhere near as high as say, a guy like JaMarcus Russell. It will still cost Carolina a pretty penny...

2011 NFL Mock Draft: Cleveland Browns
Midwest sportsfans.com
This time in our series of full team mock drafts we will take a look at the Cleveland Browns. The Cleveland Browns seemed to make strides under Eric Mangini, but he didn’t get along well with the front office and the fan base, which is a shame because Mangini valued a “type of player” more so than he did talented players and the new direction...

TCU Quarterback Andy Dalton All the Rage at Pro Day
Andy Dalton had a great pro day, per reports
Before a large group of NFL coaches and scouts, TCU quarterback Andy Dalton put on a show. Ever since Dalton stepped foot on the field for the Horned Frogs, all he’s ever done is win football games.
It’s no surprise then that Dalton responded to a below average showing at the Scouting Combine with a near flawless performance...

Prospect of the Day: USC Running Back Allen Bradford
Allen Bradford is going to be a player whose name you will likely not hear called until day three of the draft, but he is one of many running backs in this draft that I feel can have a significant impact as a rookie if he is able to stay healthy.
Bradford is an incredible combination of size (5’11″ 242), speed (4.53 40 yard dash), quickness (1.59 10 yard split), and strength...

2011 NFL Mock Draft: Full 7 Round Mock
My first round picks tend to be a little different because I like to play around with picks to see what sticks and what I like. I like to explore the myriad of pathways that teams may ultimely end up taking in the draft because for many teams they are not pigeonholed to two or three picks in the N.F.L. Draft, even if most mock drafts are. But that’s what is fun about making...

A quick thought on NFL labor.
As the NFL labor talks are going on, I thought I write a post about what I think could improve how money is distributed among NFL teams.
A while ago, I was thinking about the Darrelle Revis holdout. I researched as many details of the holdout as possible, and I quickly realized that this was a situation with really no antagonist. Obviously, Revis deserved a lot more money. He was...
