The Bears resigned Prosinksi as well. I hope they trend white in this draft.
From weenieworld, which of course still rips on Gabbert:
49ers coach Chip Kelly said he has been "impressed" by Blaine Gabbert. "He’s big," Kelly said. "He’s a 6-4, 245-pound guy that can really run. I thought the last part of the season he played really well. It’ll be intriguing to work with him, too." Gabbert showed surprising competence early in his starting run last season, but he struggled to make plays and took too many sacks down the stretch. Only 26, it is possible Kelly turns Gabbert's career around, but the first-round bust is who he is at this point. Even if the 49ers move on from Colin Kaepernick, Gabbert should be nothing more than a stopgap.
Just for the record, I look better than accountant, and if Coach Hoke keeps humiliating me, I'm no longer going to hold his hand on the sideline.
I'd first like to thank (Rich) Rodriguez for allowing a slow, unathletic and undersized kid a chance to play football at the University of Michigan. That was really nice of him to allow Drew Dileo to play football here.
"I'd like to thank (the training staff) for all the voo-doo they performed on me, and a special thanks to (trainer Paul Schmidt) for kicking me off the team (because I failed a physical), because trying out for this team once simply wasn't enough.
....
"I'd like to thank you guys and the rest of the fans as I developed from a young, slow, physically insufficient football player to an old, slow, physically insufficient football player.
I'm glad to hear that Jordan Kovacs is still in the mix as a professional player. I figured his fruitless tenure with the Miami Dolphins was a little hat-tip from prominent Michigan donor/alum and Dolphins owner, the mighty billionaire jew Stephen M. Ross. Kovacs was a walk-on at U of M during the first tumultuous post-Lloyd Carr season in 2009 (Rich Rodriguez gets credit for pulling him up and eventually starting him). Jordan's excellent performance throughout the program's hard times led to a few calls for his jersey number to be retired (!) under former coach Brady Hoke's weird practice of slapping "retro" retired numbers on current players... in other words, an honorary "Jordan Kovacs jersey" for the scrappy, over-achieving players throughout time immemorial. Kovacs even gets named to those pointless hypothetical DWF 'nostalgia' teams in the backfield over the past ten or twenty years!
Hoke is long-gone: Kovacs honored Michigan's then-head coach with these tongue-in-cheek quotes from the team's senior banquet:
Pats sign dt Markus Kuhn
I didn't see that but apparently they have interest in Johnny Football. Kubiak has always been fair.The blackos have also supposedly been showing interest in bills black quarterback tyrod Taylor.
Broncos sign DE Jared Crick to a two-year contract. Good move by Kubiak who was familiar with him while at Houston. Shows he has confidence in him to bring him to Denver:

Mike DeVito, veteran DL-DE most recently with the Chiefs retired yesterday.
