NFL Draft Headlines
Scouting Report: Jon Asamoah OG IllinoispstrongScouting Report/strong-Asamoah is a tough guy to scout, because he plays at Illinois.nbsp; They play a funky offense, and to be quite honest aren't very good at it sometimes.nbsp; So a player like Asamoah gets sort of lost in the shuffle.nbsp; But if you look close enough you can see that what you get with him is an athletic player for his size, quick and full of finesse, and does an excellent job not only in pass protection stepping outside picking up the edge but the underrated part of his game is his run blocking.nbsp; No, he's not a powerhouse like Iupati, and he's not going to physically dominate players like he does, but in today's NFL when more teams run zone blocking schemes and need more athletic offensive linemen, a guy like Asamoah could be a great player.nbsp; He is strong in his lower body and can get low and slow down the bull rush, but the one big shortcoming to his game is his lack of power.nbsp; I'm not sure he can ...Scouting Report: Marshwan Gilyard WR CincinnatipstrongScouting Report/strong-If there was a player born to be a slot receiver in the NFL it was Gilyard.nbsp; He's undersized, and a little on the frail side.nbsp; But he's quick and agile and has excellent hands.nbsp; his size won't allow him to line up and beat a jam on a top CB but in the slot, with a nickle back, safety or linebacker, Gilyard will have the advantage.nbsp; He's got a knack for making tough catches on poorly thrown balls, showing nice leaping and exceptional body control.nbsp; Gilyard is a firey player and plays with great confidence.nbsp; You have to like that in a prospect.nbsp; On the downside, he's not a no.1 or even a no.2 wide out in the NFL, because of his slight build.nbsp; And there will always be criticisms of him based on the fact that he is coming out of a spread passing offense where he is able to accumulate stats.nbsp; But all that aside, he runs nice tight routes in and out of breaks quickly and is deadly ...The Road to the NFL: Jack Corcoran's Draft Blog #6pspan style="font-size: medium;"span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"img style="float: right;" src="../images/Jack_Corcoran_blog.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="265" /My big day finally arrived this past Wed.

Try swallowing the Poison PillpSo free agency has begun and surprisingly Dan Snyder hasn't bought everyone. The Bears and Lions are splashing the cash and an already small Unrestricted Free Agent pool has dwindled to a puddle. I'm waiting on what happens with the Ocean sized Restricted Free Agent pool though. Back in 2006 The a href="../teams/vikings.shtml"Minnesota Vikings/a surpised a lot of people and drew the ire of many, by including in their offer sheet to a href="../teams/seahawks.shtml"Seattle Seahawks/a Pro Bowl Guard Steve Hutchinson, a proviso that the entire $49m contract would be guaranteed if Hutch wasn't the highest paid lineman on his team. Fine and dandy for the Vikes. Not so for the Walter Jones led Seahawks. For those of you not already aware, this is a poison pill. A term written into a contract that can offer nothing but pain, suffering and salary cap death if swallowed./p pAt the time, on some abstract probably long dead messageboard I hypothesised ...Scouting Report: Brandon Ghee CB Wake ForestpstrongScouting Report/strong-There's nothing you can say negative about Ghee when you think about him physically. No doubt he passes the eyeball test. He's got a muscular build and strength to match. The strength of his game is really the physical nature of his play. He's got no beef getting his nose dirty in the run game, and will bring the wood to whomever has the football. Ghee is a rock solid athlete, showing excellent speed and quickness, and is a fabulous leaper. The other thing you see in Ghee that you see in fellow corners like Joe Haden or Kyle Wilson is confidence. He's another guy who thinks he's the best player on the field on every play, and that he can match up with any wide out in the country. You have to love that, so long as you have the skills to back it up. For Ghee, this is the rub. As I watch his games, there are certainly times when he is just that. Whether it's zone or man coverage he is able to play up ...Scouting Report: Aaron Hernandez TE FloridapstrongScouting Report/strong-Hernandez is a fascinating prospect. On one hand you have a guy who's undersized, looking more WR/H-Back than an NFL tight end, so you figure him to be a nice receiving option, especially for a team that's creative. But on the other hand, you have a guy who isn't much of a blocker and hasn't shown he can run more than a couple of routes with any consistency. The real positives of his game are his ability to find ways to get open,superb hands with excellent skills after the catch and good ball security. When you catch passes thrown by Tim Tebow you better be able to adjust to poorly thrown passes and be able to use body control to make the play. Hernandez has shown he can do both. He looks very smooth and much faster than he times in the open field, striding almost like a small forward on the field. He's got long arms and is a good leaper and is much faster than you see in shorts.strong/strong/p pstrongDraft ...2010 Free Agency - March Madness?p"It's the most wonderful time of the year." Just the words conjure up thoughts of opening gifts on Christmas day, and as I heard one ESPN analyst put it, Free Agency is just as much fun as Christmas day if you are an NFL fan. Only two days in, and several teams have made some big moves, some are looking, and some are being smart and re-signing their own. LT is no longer a charger, something that will take the entire NFL world years of getting used to. Most of us can't imagine Tomlinson running in anything other than powder blue and a tinted visor. Strange days indeed./p pBoth owners and players are leery of the up coming un-capped year. NFL owners are worried of over paying, and NFL players are worried about under earning. Surprisingly the two teams that have been the quietest so far are the two teams that everyone expected to go nuts.
