If you can look at Irvin’s game through the lens that he can learn better technique to stay low, learn a change-up move, and learn to diagnose run plays with extra work, the physical talent is evident. Read more below. Views That was quick. And as someone who loves evaluating players and has less patience…

NY Times Fifth Down Series: Luck and Griffin
Can a team really go wrong with Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin? Of course they can, history shows that top quarterback prospects bomb year after year. Do I think they can go wrong with either one? Not unless something horrific happens. Trent Richardson, Luck and Griffin are a great trio at the top of this…

Walk on the Wildside: My Draft to Mock-Part II
After the response I got from last night’s Draft to Mock, apparently there’s a side to many of you that have also grown a little bored of mock drafts. So here’s Part II of My Draft to Mock. For those of you with the scanning virus, this is not a real mock. Carolina Panthers select…

Walk on the Wildside: My Draft to Mock – Part I
Everyone is doing mock drafts. I’m waiting for President Obama to do one on ESPN any minute now – especially with the ladies of The View likely scheduled to do one on Wednesday. For fear that my football card might be taken away, I thought it was time I do one. Like Greg Cosell, I…

No-Huddle Series: Iowa State WR Darius Reynolds
As Jon Gruden said during his QB Camp episode with Brandon Weeden, Iowa State is “a pretty good football team. Quietly, they’ve become formidable.” You don’t become that quietly formidable without some quietly formidable players. I think that pair of words fits wide receiver Darius Reynolds.

No-Huddle Series: RB Bobby Rainey, Western Kentucky
The first person who tipped me off to Bobby Rainey was NFL.com writer and researcher Chad Reuter, who worked at CBS Sportsline and NFL Draft Scout. Like many of the great tape grinders out there, I don’t get a chance to talk with them often or at great length because they are busy doing what…

Q&A on Eagles Draft at Moving The Chains
I want to thank Sheil Kapadia for the Q&A session we had on his blog Moving The Chains. You can find here. If you haven’t signed the petition to get Greg Cosell on TV for the draft, I recommend you do it. I view it as a way to inform producers that their perceptions are…

No-Huddle Series: RB Chris Polk, Washington
I lied to you. The RSP No-Huddle Series was something I initially created to write about prospects likely to get drafted in the late rounds, if at all. I’m still going to do more of those players, but sometimes there are plays you remember that you want to share with people. One of these plays…
