With the second pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Lions selected Ndamukong Suh. First isn't always best, though. In fact, the higher a player is drafted, the more likely they are to land on a bad team (unless a good team trades up). Sometimes, it doesn't matter. One player is ...Published on: 23rd April, 2010
32 selections were made in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft. With the amount of wheeling and dealing that took place, though, it felt like 320. Several teams moved up, while many others took a lower pick in the first round. Whether the wily moves paid off will ...Published on: 22nd April, 2010
Every year, there are teams who try mightily to "win" the draft. Whether it's the New York Jets trading all the way up to No. 5 to grab QB Mark Sanchez, or the New England Patriots trading up and down the board to acquire a lot of depth and versatility, teams ...Published on: 22nd April, 2010

Jason La Canfora reported on NFL.com Thursday that the Rooneys are "livid" with Roethlisberger, and have internally discussed the idea of trading their franchise quarterback . This isn't like it was with ...Published on: 15th April, 2010
Most people call alcohol "liquid courage" because it gives them the unusual ability to approach attractive people of the opposite sex without a second thought. Others, and now Jerry Jones, know alcohol for its more general ability to allow what we wouldn’t ordinarily say to seep through the mental filters. What might ...Published on: 12th April, 2010
Since my last mock draft, the New England Patriots have had many players in town for a chat, while others have been witnessed at workouts. Certainly, the same can be said for every team in the NFL with various other players. While some would say that the draft is beginning to ...Published on: 6th April, 2010
When Donovan McNabb was traded to the Redskins, I couldn't help but feel a sense of deja vu to last year's Brett Favre circus. Sure, the 40-year-old gunslinger wasn't traded to his division rival, but his arrival promised to be the catalyst for a successful year in Minneapolis. Could there be ...
