2008 NFL Draft: Who is Mike Pollack?

So, there is out team's first round pick. OC Mike Pollack, Arizona State, is yet another of those Bill Polian picks no one saw coming. No one saw the Bob Sanders pick in 2004, and no one saw the Reggie Wayne pick in 2001. So, before we start bashing Bill Polian for passing on Earl Bennett and Cliff Avril, let's settle down and take a look at Mike Pollack. Here's what NFL.com's Combine page said about him:Perhaps the strongest and toughest blocker in the Pac-10 Conference, the Sun Devils reli read

Taking Shots

I take shots at picking Dallas’ round 3 and 4 players: 3rd — Red Bryant, NT, Texas A&M — He’s been on my list forever. No need to back off now. 4th — Will Franklin, WR, Missouri — Some good WRs are available — Early Doucet, Earl Bennett, Andre Caldwell, Mario Manningham — but how many of these guys will last till the end of the round? New 4th round pick — Tashard Choice, Georgia Tech — Even with Felix Jones the Cowboys have only two RBs they can count on. Choice is a Marion Barber type, read

Rookie RB FFB analysis

Every now and then a receiver or a quarterback comes into the NFL as a rookie and makes a significant statistical splash. Finding that guy? It's a crapshoot. That's why the fantasy focus on NFL Draft Day belongs on the running back group. Look at what Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch did last year. This year's running back class? It's even better, and much deeper. Here's my first-glimpse fantasy ranking of the guys picked on Day 1. Darren McFadden, (1.4), Oakland: Oakland's offensive line read

Bears Day one Draft Grades

Rd 1 Chris Williams Ht: 6-6 Wt: 317 College: Vanderbilt Scouts say: “Williams shows the athletic ability to be rated just below Jake Long. A smart player with sound technique, he really impressed NFL coaches and GMS at the Senior bowl. He will be at top 15 pick.” Bottom line: He is a versatile offensive lineman showing the ability to play both guard and tackle positions. Chris Williams played at a consistent high level surrendering only 2 sacks over the last 2 years at Vanderbilt. Alt read

Open Thread: The 2nd Round of the NFL Draft is under way....

What: 2008 NFL Draft Where: Radio City Music Hall, New York When: 6:40PM Est Time (Round 2) Here we are, its FINALLY Draft Day!! I have no clue what todays events will bring. All I can say is I hope the Bucs inject speed and athleticism into this offense whether it be through the first, second, or third rounds. I've got my fingers crossed for a DJax or Jenkins Drafting, but to be honest, so long as we get a burner, i don't care if it comes in the form of a DJax, Donnie Avery (thanks PR), D read

2008 NFL Draft: Live Blog

Change of plans. I’ll be running the live blog here on the NFL Source. On the draft site, you can also see the picks and analysis. Right now, the Pats are up at number seven. Sorry I haven’t been able to do the first six picks. The only surprise for me was Glenn Dorsey going to the Chiefs, as I actually thought he’d slip by. Oh, we have a trade. The Saints are now on the clock, and they’ll likely pick Sedrick Ellis. I guess New England didn’t have a stand-out player. 7th Pick: Saints selec read

Miami Needs Almost Everything; Getting Jake Long Is a Great Start

Filed under: Dolphins, AFC East, NFL Draft, Miami, Featured Stories In case you've been on some business trip this week, you've known all along that Jake Long was the #1 pick in the draft. It's a great pick ... albeit a safe one. The Miami Dolphins celebrated their 40th anniversary last year by taking the team back to its expansion roots. Aside from a guy here or there, this team has a need everywhere on the roster. Drafting Long should ensure that the Phins will have whomever their quarterbac read
