This offseason you will hear plenty about getting value for your draft picks. In other words, getting good players in the rounds they are graded out at...or better. Case in point: Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers had a top 5 grade that year and fell to #24 in 2005. He is an example of great value for...

A few things about this mock: - Paea is a bit high. I would place him as the 4th best DT with Liuget being ahead of him...even though I wouldn't put Liuget as a mid 1st round talent either. - Possibly a reach on Ayers. Aldon Smith could be the 2nd best OLB available after Miller. Late first...

I only have a couple issues with this mock: 1. Young could be gone in the late 2nd round. 2. Carmichael could be gone in the 3rd round. I would consider someone like Toliver (WR) in the 3rd and Marsh (CB) in the 4th round. I think those two players are good value and should be available in...

Here are the updated draft grades for the juniors who have declared for the 2011 NFL Draft. Top 5: Patrick Peterson CB DaQuan Bowers DE A.J. Green WR Marcel Dareus DT Robert Quinn DE Top 10: Blaine Gabbert QB Julio Jones WR 1st Round: Aldon Smith OLB Mark Ingram RB Late 1st/Early 2nd Round...

Georgia Tech junior offensive tackle Nick Claytor said Wednesday that he plans to forego his senior season and enter the 2011 NFL Draft. Claytor, 6-6, 285, started 10 games and helped the Yellow Jackets lead the nation in rushing offense in 2010. A Gainesville (Ga.) native who now lives in...

Yes I knew that. He did turn things around in the weight room, but some of that work ethic has been questionable before. I would not be opposed to taking him in the late 2nd, but no earlier at this point. Lets see how he does in Feb too.

The injury caused him to lose 17 pounds. Is that not relevant? I think it is. It would be better if you changed it to "His only notable injury was a broken jaw accrued in a fight."

Utah defensive tackle Sealver Siliga announced Wednesday afternoon he would skip his senior season and enter the NFL draft. Siliga had 28.5 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, this past season for the Utes and was a Mountain West honorable mention selection. He is the second Utah underclassman to...

I never once said he would be passed up because of his broken jaw. I was only clarifying your statement that he has "a clean injury history" which was false. Perhaps the greatest thing to look at from that incident was the fact that he has a history of fighting with a teammate. His suspension...

Interesting. Most scouts consider all injuries, no matter the area or degree of seriousness.

Illinois went three-for-three this week. It wasn't exactly the kind of completion rate Illini fans hoped for, however, when defensive tackle Corey Liuget became the third junior in two days to declare for the NFL draft, according to ESPN. Liuget follows linebacker Martez Wilson, who...

Wilson has that dreaded "raw" tag added to his name. Raw talents are so much harder to draft because you base their stock on potential. I will give a few examples of guys with the same tag: Jamal Reynolds, Robert Ferguson, and Ahmad Carroll. Vernon Davis was also in that group, but he panned...

We will see...but I disagree with ESPN and that moron Mel Kiper...

He will not last that long. He is our #2 junior RB and is on the rise. More of a Ryan Matthews type...runs around a 4.53, so not slow by any means either. He does NOT have a clean injury history either. Broken jaw in 08 during a fight with a teammate. He lost 17lbs from this and has had...

He is most like McCluster or Sproles.
