Analysis

The Vikings were one team that had a pretty horrible draft. Just about all of the guys they took early on were sort of project players that you’d normally take late on the first day or early in the second. Not in the first and second […]

Analysis

Jason Allen was a decent but not great pick in the first round. He’ll help the team out on defense, but I don’t see him becoming a super star, at least not in the near future. I didn’t like the pick of Derek Hagan in the […]

NFL Draft Round 1- Indianapolis Selects Joseph Addai

With the 30th overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft the Indianapolis Colts have selected Joseph Addai, RB, Louisiana State.
While everyone expected the Colts to go for a running back, I’m kind of surprised that they went for Addai. He seems like a bit of an underachiever, and not the type who’s going to be […]

The Steelers definitely need a reciever, but I’m a little surprised they made this move. I had expected them to take Moss, but of course, I also expected Holmes to get taken earlier. The fact […]
