So maybe the quarterback position wasn't as strong as a lot of mock draft nerds suspected. Matt Ryan went third overall, and the Ravens traded back into the first round to grab Joe Flacco , but Brian Brohm and Chad Henne lasted until late in Round 2. Still, four guys went on the (new and improved!) Day 1 of the draft, which is right about at the historical average*. But there are still ...

I hope you enjoyed today’s liveblog of the NFL draft with the Ladies… and other assorted characters. What? You didn’t join us? What is wrong with you?   Well, you can make up for that mistake by spending tomorrow with us. We will once again liveblog the rest of the draft - the day without the agonizing pictures of Chad Henne and Brian Brohm, no Roger Goodell, and ...

Heading into Day 1 of the draft, there were plenty of teams in need of starting quarterback help. Green Bay was not one of those teams. Which is why they took Brian Brohm with the 56th overall pick, of course. Obviously, this means that Aaron Rodgers has been put on notice even though, you know, he has yet to start one NFL game. Actually, it has absolutely nothing to do with Rodgers and ...

Pick number 56. Packers on the clock. Bill Parcells is sitting in the War Room, sweating. His QB, Chad Henne, is still on the board. As is QB Brian Brohm. The Dolphins worked Henne out a ton, paying little attention to Brohm. But the Packers seemed to be leaning QB, and most boards had Henne ahead of Brohm. “With the 56th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers ...

The Titans taking Chris Johnson at #24 was the biggest reach, by far. All-in-all, there were 10 trades ( 10!!! ) in the first round. The Chiefs had the best first round, easily. This is another open thread. Looks like Brian Brohm is the first pick in round 2 for the Dolphins. Scratch that, it's Phillip Merling.

There's an old saying that goes when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. That's what the Ravens did with their trade down in the first round this afternoon. They didn't have enough to go up and get Matt Ryan , but that doesn't mean that quarterback stopped being their biggest need. And it doesn't mean that quarterback was their only need. They have to address a replacement for Jonathan ...

This weekend, while most Atlanta eyes will be closely watching the Falcons, plenty of other local fans will be watching to see where their favorite college players wind up going. Here’s your guide to the former Georgia Bulldogs for this weekend. Marcus Howard, Rush Specialist - Much of the nation had not heard of Marcus Howard until he turned Colt Brennan into his own personal ...

If you missed picks 1-10, you can find them here . In this part we will look at picks 11-20 which reflect the Jared Allen trade. This mock draft will be presented in the form of a mock draft, but is not meant to be predictive. Rather, with each team we’ll take a look at their needs, and who is likely to be available that they might covet. Could Matt Ryan be this year’s ...

The NFL is draft is always a mixture of excitement and disappointment as teams frequently diverge from the expert pick and make a surprise choice. In the 2006 draft, the Chicago Bears used their second round draft picks for Danieal Manning and Devin Hester. Both picks were met with mixed feelings of disappointment [...]

It's a football weekend. Yes the NFL draft is this weekend. OffshoreInsiders.com has posted betting odds for the draft. Who will be the second QB drafted? Brian Brohm -120, followed by Chad Henne at +170 and Joe Flacco at +175. The field is +400.   Virtually all projections of course have Matt Ryan going first. The sportsbooks odds are in line with Rivals.com rankings as ...

I hated this guy so much while he was at Louisville, I take great joy in knowing that I will never have to write about him again. And by hate, I mean respect if you look at what he did the last three years to West Virginia.

Well its almost that time again. The NFL Draft is less than a week away and I for one am very excited. I have finished ranking prospects by position and instead of listing every single prospect that has a chance of getting drafted I have my top 5 at each position; QB 1. Matt Ryan Boston College 2. Brian Brohm Louisville 3. Joe Flacco Delaware 4. Andre Woodson Kentucky 5. Chad ...

Seattle general manager Tim Ruskell says there's a good chance the Seahawks try to trade down in next weekend's draft. Just like 31 other teams. The fact that running back is no longer a need -- Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett were signed this off-season -- means that there's no one glaring need that can't be addressed in rounds other than the first . "If you have rated (five) guys pretty ...

If the NFL draft were the stock market, then Louisville's Brian Brohm would be Bear Stearns. Last year at this time, Brohm was considered by many a top-five pick, his value peaking. Yet he bypassed the 2007 draft to return to Louisville, had a difficult campaign, and now he might slip out of this year's first round completely. While this year's crop of quarterbacks is headlined by Boston ...
