draft rumors and news

Invoking Brett Favre comparisons, Razzano believes Locker can make the "big-time throws" with elite athletic ability plus he doesn't take sacks. Razzano is the same scout who compared Texas A&M OLB Von Miller to Vernon Gholston. He was reportedly fired from the 49ers for a vehement protest against the drafting of Alex Smith.

Yeah he didnt even f**king work for us, he worked for the Rams. Rotoworld is retarded. Even if he was right on Smith that's not why he got fired in STL, he got fired for doing a s**tty job.

Oh really? He is the same dumbass that compared Von Miller to Vernon Gholston. They dont even play similarly. Gholston was a gigantic work out warrior who didnt have that good of a college career, Miller was a beast in college racking up 27 sacks in 2 years. Miller will be way better than Gholston ever would've been. He's a lot smaller, he's probably quicker, he plays tougher, and has a much better motor. He's a bit dirty. Gholston looked like tarzan and played like Jane. And just because Razzano was semi right on Alex Smith, that means he's right on every player?

No matter what he wants to bulls**t people with, HE DID NOT GET FIRED BECAUSE HE VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED ALEX SMITH. He got fired because the advice he was giving and decisions he was helping make in STL were bad, and they started losing. The Rams didnt even have the #1 pick that year. what happened was all their good players got old and the young guys they tried to replace them with didn't work out so well, and that's why from 04 on they've never been over .500 and only made the playoffs once(in 2004).

ESPN's Mel Kiper insisted on a media conference call Wednesday that he believes Arizona DE/OLB Brooks Reed will be a first-round pick.
"I have Brooks Reed of Arizona going in the late first," Kiper said. "You would have thought second. But I’ll say late first." Reed's stock is soaring after an outstanding ten-yard split at the Combine. We'd guess he'll go in the mid to late 20s on April 28, but it isn't out of the question for New England to fall in love with the Clay Matthews clone and pick him 17th.

He is getting hotter.

After watching USC tape, NFL Films guru Greg Cosell believes that Tyron Smith is the best tackle in the 2011 draft.
It's worth noting that Cosell was another analyst who predicted Vernon Gholston would bust in 2008, calling Gholston at the time an "undrafted free agent" type. Smith hasn't passed Anthony Castonzo on Mike Mayock's tackle board, but the general consensus seems to have Smith likely to be the first player drafted at his position. He'd be an ideal fit at No. 13 to Detroit.

I think he will end up in the top 15 also.

Colorado LT Nate Solder reported to the Buffaloes' Pro Day weighing just 307 pounds at 6-foot-8.
Solder weighed 319 pounds at the Combine. It's been just over two weeks since linemen weighed in in Indianapolis. As CBS Sports' Chad Reuter notes, "teams were already wondering if (Solder) could ... maintain weight during the season." Solder's sudden loss is concerning for one of this year's top linemen.

I've taken dumps that big ... still not that high on him. Think he goes 5th OT in the draft.

I feel sorry for your anus.

That is a huge drop in the time frame though. Luckily we're not looking at him. Wonder if he was sick otherwise you really have to try hard to lose all that weight.

Brutal, and totally inexcusable word picture. Yikes!!!

This weight loss is not a good sign. He's a 6'8" OT that barely weighs 300. This OT class is pretty lumped together after Smith, and could go in so many different directions. It will truly be "beauty in the eye of the beholder" between Castonzo, Carimi, and Solder.

Why not Quinn?

Cam Jordan is good but while we can use an upgrade over Soap the impact of improving the other DE spot but still not addressing our top 3 needs is minimal in comparison.

If we don't take a OLB, CB or QB at #7 we should trade down.
