WIth the No. 14 overall pick in the NFL Draft
The Chicago Bears select…
Chris Williams, Offensive Tackle, Vanderbilt University.
Rex Grossman rejoice! Grossman’s inconsistency aside, not to mention Cedric Benson’s flakiness, the Bears offensive just got significantly better. Those players may never be the guys they were expected to be when they were drafted but investing in [...]

The Carolina Panthers select…
Jonathan Stewart, Running back, University of Oregon.
Stewart is 5′10” 235 lbs. and ran a 4.48 40-yard dash.
Considering they took DeAngelo Williams last year some people might be surprised by this but they wanted a running back by committee offense. Stewart might be my [...]

The Denver Broncos select…
Ryan Clady, Offensive Tackle, Boise State University.
Clady is 6′6” 309 lbs. and ran a 5.20 40-yard dash.
Some people think Clady is more of a potential based pick. They say he still needs polishing before he can be a full-time NFL tackle. His measureables [...]

The Buffalo Bills select…
Leodis McKelvin, Cornerback, Troy University.
McKelvin is 5′10” 190 lbs. and ran a 4.38 40-yard dash.
McKelvin can help in the return game, he’s got great speed but his size might be an issue. Remember, the Bills have to play against Randy Moss twice every [...]

The New England Patriots select…
Jerod Mayo, Inside Linebacker, University of Tennessee.
Mayo is 6′1” 242 lbs. and ran a 4.54 40-yard dash.

Harvey is 6′4” 271 lbs. and ran a 4.83 40-yard dash.

The New Orleans Saints select…
Sedrick Ellis, Defensive Tackle, University of Southern Cal.
Ellis is 6′0” 309 lbs. and ran a 5.23 40-yard dash.

The Patriots, notorious for making draft trades, have dealt down to the No. 10 spot with the New Orleans Saints, who moved up to take Sedrick Ellis.
The Ravens, unable to secure Matt Ryan have moved down to the No. 26 spot in a trade with the Jaguars. It’s said the Jags are looking at Derrick Harvey.

The New York Jets select…
Vernon Gholston, Defensive End, Ohio State University.
Gholston is 6′3” 266 lbs. and ran a 4.67 40-yard dash.
Gholston has to make the adjustment from defensive end to outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense now. But the consensus seems to be that he will [...]

Glenn Dorsey, Defensive Tackle, Louisiana State University.
Dorsey is 6′1” 297 lbs. and ran a 5.12 40-yard dash.

McFadden is 6′1” 211 lbs. and ran a 4.33 40-yard dash.

The St. Louis Rams select…
Chris Long, Defensive End, University of Virginia.
Long is 6′3” 272 lbs. and ran a 4.75 40-yard dash.
He’s been dominating the ACC but I question whether or not he can be a top flight pass-rusher in the NFL. Sure he’s got a “great [...]
