  • The 2013 RSP “Mocking the Mock”

    The 2013 RSP “Mocking the Mock”

    I don’t do mock drafts. I have nothing against them. If I had more time, I’d probably get into them. They’re entertaining.

If he succeeds his backers believe that the detractors over analyzed the situation. If the prospect struggles the  naysayers will claim the backers didn’t see enough. In this sense Le’Veon Bell is a polarizing player…

  • Boiler Room Series: USC WR Robert Woods

    Boiler Room Series: USC WR Robert Woods

    Compared to his peers in this 2013 wide receiver draft class, Robert Woods has a “quiet game.” The USC Trojan is an average-sized receiver with good quickness, but his measurements as an athlete is nothing special.
