2010 NFL Draft: 10 Trades That Could Happen on Day One

Posted: 21st April 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
The clock has turned to April 21st and there is only one day left until the first day of the draft. This year day one is only the first round of the draft. There has already been a lot of movement pre-draft and it is to be expected that there will more movement on draft day. This article will try and pin-point some teams that are willing to make first ...
The acquisition of Ted Ginn today means that it is very unlikely that the 49ers will use a first round pick on CJ Spiller or draft a WR in the first three rounds. Spiller's supporters touted his ability to help in the return game and make the offense more dynamic as reasons to use a first round pick on the RB out of Clemson. Ginn covers the need for a ...

2010 NFL Draft: Rookie FAs for the San Francisco 49ers To Target

Posted: 14th April 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
After doing a number of San Francisco 49ers seven round mock drafts, I decided that it was time to look deeper and delve into the world of potential undrafted rookie free agents. I have picked out five college players that are likely to go undrafted who the Niners could sign. It is a little heavy on Mountain West players but it is the conference I am most familiar with. Rookie ...

NFL Pre-Draft Trade Scenario: Kansas City Chiefs Obtain the First Pick

Posted: 10th April 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
The Chiefs do not seem to be happy where they are drafting. The players that they would like to get in the top five, Ndamukong Suh and Russell Okung, will probably both be gone by the time they pick. I have found a solution to their problem. They should move up to the first overall pick. What would this take? Here is my scenario: Kansas City trades Glenn Dorsey and the fifth overall ...

Is Flozell Adams a Fit for the San Francisco 49ers?

Posted: 3rd April 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
Everyone knows that the 49ers greatest need this offseason is to obtain a right tackle. This is why most mock drafts have the 49ers using one of their first-round picks on a tackle. The release of Adams made me think of the last time the Cowboys released a high profile O-lineman, Larry Allen. Allen came to the 49ers and gave Frank Gore an instant boost. Gore had 1,695 rushing yards in ...

2010 NFL Draft: A Day Without an Underclassman

Posted: 1st April 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
Last week, I looked at what the NFL draft would look like if every eligible underclassman made himself available for the NFL draft this year. This article will look at what the draft would look like if none of the underclassmen were able to declare for the draft. The landscape would become very different, especially for teams looking at a quarterback.Begin Slideshow

Charlie Whitehurst: Seattle’s QB of the Future or Placeholder?

Posted: 30th March 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
The Seahawks payed a premium, swapping second-round picks and giving up a third next year, to acquire Charlie Whitehurst. The moves that they made after that are somewhat puzzling. They only gave Whitehurst a two-year contract, which seems a little short for a player that you gave up a third-round pick and moved down 20 spots for. That makes me question whether or not they think that he is the QB of the ...

2010 NFL Draft: The Rams Should Trade Down to No. 3

Posted: 27th March 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
If the Rams are intent on taking Sam Bradford, as many believe, there is no reason for them to stay at No. 1 overall. So, they should ignore the trade charts and make a move with Tampa Bay to trade first-round picks. There are a few reasons that this would make sense for both teams. The Rams want Bradford and he will not be taken at the second spot because that ...

2010 NFL Mock Draft: What if All Draft-Eligible Players Declared?

Posted: 26th March 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
This year 53 draft eligible underclassmen declared for the draft. What if the rest, led by Jake Locker also declared? How would that change the face of the 2010 draft. This first round mock assumes that all of the prospects that could come out did. The number of players who stayed in college is a little bit smaller this year than normal because of the uncertainty of the CBA in ...

NFL Mock Draft 2010: Could Ndamukong Suh Plummet to No. 8?

Posted: 20th March 2010 by Robert Wayerski in NFL
In a word, no. However, this is not what Bucky Brooks of nfl.com thinks. In his latest mock draft Brooks has Suh dropping all the way to the Raiders at number eight. Brooks' predictions shocked me so much I decided to look at all of the teams he had passing on Suh. This article will look at all seven teams ahead of the Raiders and analyze whether or not he ...
