Chris Culliver, 80th overall pick in 2011, is heading quickly towards official bust status: He never had ball skills in college, and that certainly translated to the NFL. Dumb Redskins' for giving him that contract. Ravens' Matt Elam, 1st round pick, is headed down the same road and has no...

Brant Mitchell, an athletic and smart LB, had 36 tackles and 2 INTs (1 returned for a 32-yd TD) -- last season. Was a true frosh and heavily-recruited out of high school. http://www.ramblinwreck.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/brant_mitchell_971260.html

Luke Carrezola - LB/DL - a rising player and fun to watch: Porter Gustin - DE - USC Connor Strachan - LB - Boston College (6-2 230) http://bceagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=1284 As a sophomore, he had 75 tackles (48 solo), 2 sacks and 2 interceptions.

A bit much.... New England had an atrocious draft.

There were some positives, primarily on defense, in this Draft and there were certainly multiple negatives. One positive, and something to compare/contrast is at LB: Nick Vigil went significantly higher than expected to Cincy. Joe Schobert (CLE) and Nick Kwiatkowski (CHI) were selected in fair...

Thanks! Unless a BUNCH of our college beasts (a growing wave at certain positions) get injured this year, I'll be here all season!

Spot on. Since his torn ACL, he hasn't been the same in terms of instincts and aggression, and the questions he's facing now in a physical/mental sport aren't all illegitimate.

Agholor, out of USC, was a terrible pick by Philly in 1st round. Also, Jets' WR Devin Smith ended up with a torn ACL in Week 14 of the season:

Former New England Patriot, and 40th overall pick, Ron Brace, passed away 2 months ago at 29 and 4 months of age. From reports, it seems like he might of been a (legit) good guy in his community in Massachusetts, but couldn't overcome his struggles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Brace

A lot of people didn't know who he was before GB selected him, he was just someone out of Northwestern. With GB taking him in decent draft position, they definitely wanted him, and I have some optimism that they'll find creative ways to use him (with his size, athleticism and football smarts)...

Arizona at Michigan Michigan was done in late by iffy play, a lack of rebounding and a questionable call by the refs. I found the ending to be a bit unsatisfying. At home, Michigan needs to finish games stronger. Will be interesting to follow the growth of this team as the season progresses.

Great posts, Jack! I'll definitely catch some college ball this weekend.

Ohio State should go to Miami Gardens (Florida) and handle their business and defeat Clemson. If they don't do this, they're pathetic. Clemson has been overranked all season. :icon_rolleyes: It's time for Ohio State to shatter them once and for all.

I forgot to mention Andrew Wilson from MIZZOU! http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/481544/andrew-wilson And, Collin Ellis (JR) is a fun player to watch at Northwestern. http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/500405/collin-ellis...

Linebackers James Morris (Iowa), Steele Divitto (Boston College), Chris Borland (Wisconsin), Max Bullough (Michigan State), Glenn Carson (Penn State), Mike Olson (Wake Forest) and some other draft-eligible linebackers are fine football players, but I'm concerned about what the upcoming Draft...

Audie Cole 13 tackles (7 solo) in Baltimore yesterday. In a short time, he's nearing 50 tackles.

Even though the team has had some disappointing losses, particularly due to lackluster offensive performances in those games (and they need a better running game), the Chargers' patchwork defense has continued to overachieve all year long. This fight and perseverance that the team has, has...

I definitely have Matt Barkley ranked ahead of Geno Smith! Matt Barkley can go through his checkdowns well enough, but he really missed Rhett Ellison this year IMO. I'm not writing Matt Barkley off at this point. However, if he's a mid-1st round selection, that might be better for him anyways...

Matt Ryan is getting closer to becoming an elite QB. If Matt Ryan didn't win IN Philly, everybody would be saying that Atlanta was a "fake 6-1 team".. but Matty Ice didn't let that 'conversation' get started as he delivered a dominating performance to lead Atlanta to a convincing road-win...

Clutch Homerun for Posey (in Game 4)!!! Buster Posey is a Champion once again! :first: The NLs comeback player (from devastating injury) is now World Champion this year, and may also be awarded the MVP of the regular season. This young man is all class. Congrats to Posey, Scutaro, Pence and...

Buster Posey is a freakish talent, and, to watch him on the biggest stage is a privilege for me. His grandslam in Game 5 against Cincinnati will be remembered for a long time, and it'd be great if he were to do something big-time in Detroit on offense. Come on, Posey!

"New" Playoff Set-up was frustrating and screwed Chipper Jones' in his farewell season. Atlanta won nearly 95 games and they finished only 4-back of Washington in the NL East, and, yet, they are forced to play a do-or-die game where ALL the pressure is on them, period. I knew Atlanta was...

foobar75, Because I have serious standards for QB play (standards that also apply to QBs I've often praised like Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, Joe Flacco, Matt Stafford, Rivers & Dalton), you've attempted to mock me on multiple occasions. Some people trot around acting like playing QB.. not talking...

Early in Jake Locker's college career, he was praised A LOT by the MSM, and I'm sure a lot of casual observers thought of him as better than he really was at that point. Before his Senior year, he wasn't really "a QB" and had noticeable trouble reading defenses. You contend, however, that he...

Buster Posey has my vote for NL MVP! And, the Giants' should be able to secure the NL West title soon.
