33. St. Louis Rams- Rodger Saffold, T, Indiana
This was a bit of a surprise pick, but it was a great choice. Saffold has great potential to be a franchise left tackle, and if Jason Smith improves and stays healthy, Bradford will have great protection.
Grade: A
34. Minnesota Vikings- Chris Cook, CB, Virginia
You can't argue with this pick. Lito Sheppard was signed, but it was a one-year deal, and he isn't the ...
The 2010 NFL Draft was filled with surprising picks, and first-round prospects like Jimmy Clausen, Taylor Mays, and Golden Tate weren't selected in the first round.
1. St. Louis Rams- Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
The Rams have found their franchise QB.
Grade: A
2. Detroit Lions- Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
The Lions passed on a franchise left tackle again, but Suh has dynamic talent, so the pick wasn't all bad.
Grade: B
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Gerald ...
First Round (Pick 23) - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
I think the Packers should take Charles Brown, but Ted Thompson's draft record suggests that he won't draft a tackle in the first round. Cornerback also needs depth since Al Harris and Pat Lee went down with injuries, and Jarrett Bush was terrible and easy for Kurt Warner to torch. Wilson has excellent coverage skills and would make an instant impact ...

2010 NFL Mock Draft: How the Major Trades Impact the Draft
Posted: 14th April 2010 by Ian O'Brien in NFL
This mock draft includes many changes from my previous mock draft, and the Steelers trading Santonio Holmes to the Jets and the Broncos trading Brandon Marshall to the Dolphins shakes things up even more.
1. St. Louis Rams—Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Bradford threw 63-for-64 at his Pro Day, and the only incomplete pass was because of a receiver dropping a pass. The Rams were impressed, so there's really no reason for ...
1. St. Louis Rams —Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
This pick is becoming a given since Marc Bulger was released, and the Rams were impressed by Bradford's workout. They've drafted linemen the past three years (Adam Carriker, Chris Long, and Jason Smith), so now it's time to draft a franchise QB.
Other Possible Picks: Jimmy Clausen, QB; Ndamukong Suh, DT
2. Detroit Lions —Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
The Lions traded a fifth—round pick to Seattle ...

1. Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox were humbled last postseason after getting swept in the ALDS by the Angels, and now they're determined to take back the throne.
The Red Sox improved their already great pitching staff by signing John Lackey to a five year, $80 million contract. á
They now have Jon Lester, Josh Beckett, John Lackey, Daisuke Matsuzaka, and Clay Buchholz in their rotation. Tim Wakefield and Junichi Tazawa provide ...
