Iowa Left Tackle Riley Reiff was projected to be a top 10 pick.  Reiff fell to the Detroit Lions at 23 overall.  Reiff was hands down the best value pick in round 1.  Pittsburgh got a good consolation prize with David DeCastro.  Reiff filled a greater position of need and value with offensive tackles being [...]

1983 was the year of the quarterback.  Nearly 30 years later like that draft there is a Stanford quarterback destined to be drafted by the Colts once again.  This time, the Colts will keep the Stanford quarterback rather than trading him on draft day.  Like the 1983 NFL Draft, I also have 6 quarterbacks going [...]

Jim Harbaugh took the San Francisco 49ers team to the NFC Title game in his first year after leaving Stanford.  The only way this personal achievement gets topped is if Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck one ups the ole ball coach by getting the Indianapolis Colts to the Super Bowl as a rookie.  I think its [...]

In 2008, Ozzie Newsome looked like a rocket scientist with a doctorate from Harvard after trading down with Jacksonville to obtain Joe Flacco while Jacksonville reached for Derrick Harvey with a top 10 pick.  The Delaware signal caller has helped the Ravens get to 4 straight playoff appearances.  Every playoff team they lose to has [...]

Aaron Rodgers helped lead a Green Bay Packers team depleted with injuries to a Super Bowl 45 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Green Bay had the coaching staff return and a healthier team.  With a 13-0 regular season, a perfect season looked like a potential possibility.  A loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the [...]

The Houston Texans got to the divisional round of the 2012 NFL Playoffs even without starting quarterback Matt Schaub.  Schaub is back so the Texans could be better with Matt Schaub starting instead of TJ Yates. Free Agency Recap Houston dealt DeMeco Ryans to the Philadelphia Eagles.  Bradie James a free agent signing from Dallas, [...]

The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a brutal playoff loss to the hands of Denver Broncos.  Pittsburgh picks 24th.  I mocked Midwestern State Amini Silatolu in round 1 in my last two mock drafts after originally mocking Vontaze Burfict in 2 mocks before the NFL Combine.  I am going to mock a different player at 24 in [...]
