Scott Pioli Says Chiefs Had 3 Good QBs Going Into 2012 Draft

If you ask any fan around the league, they will tell you that the Chiefs were among the handful of teams that could have justified selecting a QB in the 2012 NFL Draft. However, they did not. In an interview with SportsRadioInterviews.com Chiefs GM Scott Pioli says there was a reason: Continue reading

Video: Eli Manning Visits CNN’s Starting Point to talk Peyton, Super Bowl ring, Saturday Night Live

New York Giants’ quarterback and 2012 Super Bowl champion Eli Manning visited CNN’s Starting Point to talk Peyton, Super Bowl ring, Saturday Night Live performance, off-field pranks, taking a month off and his work with nonprofit Build Our Kids Success before-school program.

They also asked him about Tim Tebow, of course.

Manning said, “You know, it’s one of those deals in New York. You win a Super Bowl, but I’m the third most talked about quarterback right now between Mark [Sanchez] and Tim [Tebow] and I. That’s the way I like it.”

Check out the video above.

Former Packers DT John Jolly Released From Prison on Shock Probation

After just six months of a six year sentence, John Jolly has been granted a “shock” probation from prison.  I never thought we’d see him on the outside again after he got caught with “THE JUICE.”

There is no words on if his NFL career will resume.  I am assuming it will at some point, but not with the Packers as they have Continue reading

Denver Broncos Sign LB Steven Johnson

With DJ Williams being suspended for violation of the league’s substance policy the Broncos are going to need linebackers.  They have drafted a few guys recently including Nate Irving and Mike Mohamed, but the team is loading up in free agency to make sure the void is filled. Continue reading

Create Your 2013 NFL Mock!

This is just a quick announcement.  I have updated the database and reset the draft application for 2013! You can now create your mock draft just click here.

The database is the biggest one we have ever started the season with, clocking in at around 250 players in college football.  There should not be anyone that needs to be added, but of course if there is I will add them in ASAP.

On a technical note, the app has been moved to its own domain (http://www.mydraft.mockdrafthq.com/).  It had to be moved for many technical reasons I won’t get into here, but hopefully that move will pay off in the long run.

That’s all for now, go create your 2013 NFL Mock Draft!

Brandon Weeden, Colt McCoy Not Speaking as QB Battle Looms in Cleveland

The Browns officially moved on from the Colt McCoy era when they selected former Oklahoma State Cowboy Brandon Weeden with the 22nd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.  And like that, Colt McCoy was a man scorned.

*tweets McCoy the link to purchase Drake’s ‘Take Care’ on iTunes*

All jokes aside Colt McCoy and Brandon Weeden are not friends and it is looking like they will never be buddies.  The Browns are already openly shopping McCoy and aren’t expected to start him any games this year.

On top of that Continue reading

Vontaze Burfict Mad as Hell Over Going Undrafted, Ready to Hit Somebody

Maybe this is the motivation he needed.  After showing up to the combine in less than stellar shape, throwing Arizona State coaches under the bus, and going undrafted, Vontaze Burfict is now ready to get going.  He is vowing to make a lot of teams sorry for passing on him.

“Not being picked, going undrafted I have a big chip on my shoulder and I’m ready to Continue reading

Brock Osweiler Works on New Throwing Motion… wait wat?

wat?

What in the name of John Elway is John Elway doing?

I said it before the draft when I heard the rumors of Elway going after Osweiler, that I had no problems with that pick if it was done with a reasonable selection.  Brock Osweiler is a good enough developmental prospect, with the mobility and confidence you look for at the position.  The only problem is that the Broncos are trying to win NOW… again, how does Brock Osweiler standing on the sidelines help Peyton Manning win playoff games?  What is the thinking here?

I’m still baffled by the selection, other than the fact that Denver had nothing behind Peyton.  But was a second round pick really worth Continue reading

#Dreamteam: Vince Young Signs With Buffalo Bills

I remember just a few years ago when people questioned who would be the #1 overall pick in the 2006 draft. Mario Williams, Reggie Bush, or Vince Young? Who would have thought that Reggie Bush would be the first to get a championship, Mario Williams would prove to be the best player, and that all three would be on their second (and third) teams by now?

Who would have thought that two out of the three would Continue reading

Buccaneers Waive QB Jordan Jefferson 4 Days After Career Begins

It is hard out here for an undrafted QB.

Jordan Jefferson
, who you last saw in the National Championship game at LSU, has been cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just four days after his pro career started. The Bucs announced their waiving of Jefferson today.

I don’t think that anyone believed that Jefferson would be an NFL QB. But Continue reading

Da’Quan Bowers Suffers Knee Injury

Da’Quan Bowers suffered a knee injury today, via the Bucs official twitter account:

DE Da’Quan Bowers has suffered a torn Achilles tendon while participating in the Bucs’ offseason program.

Just sucks for him. There was a lot of questions about his knee coming out of school and going into the draft. Hopefully he can rehab and get back out there pretty soon.

Shanahan Names Rookie QB His Starter in Washington

….and his name is Robert Griffin III.

Did you really think that after the Redskins traded everything except Dan Snyder himself for the #2 overall draft pick that this would end any other way?

Yes, Shanahan traded up for a rookie backup QB in Kirk Cousins. But for now he is just the backup. Griffin III is the Continue reading

2013 Mock Draft Updated!

Finally, the 2012 draft is in the books and it is time to get started for 2013! It is ALWAYS draft season around here.

Today marks the first update of the 2013 draft since it was first written in August 2011, almost a year early. The update for the 2013 draft is the first in what should be several updates going forward.

What’s new?

For one, the Rams now have two first round draft picks thanks to the Robert Griffin III trade. There is also a few other surprises. As we have seen, the new CBA has made the draft now very unpredictable. The fact that contracts are locked in for 4 years changes the way teams will draft forever.

…and if Pete Carroll’s draft picks are any indication, things are going to start getting really crazy!

Notre Dame QB Tommy Rees Pulls an Alfonzo Dennard: Arrested for Resisting Arrest

Young men of the world, you have to be smarter about how you encounter the police.  Yes, the police are way too “hands on” these days but you cannot fight fire with fire.  Not in these situations.  In a split second you could be justifiably shot dead by the officer you resist.

Tommy Rees and a teammate ran into the police and things got ugly: Continue reading
