Around the NFL Week 17

Why does Rob Ryan get more face time than any other defensive coordinator in the league? He didn't exactly make the Browns a juggernaut and the Cowboys have looked way worse since he's taken over.

He gets more face time than some head coaches, including his own.

Because he looks like Merlin, and you DO NOT F&@% with a wizard!!

My first mock.

1. Indy - Andrew Luck - QB - Stanford
2. St. Louis - Matt Kalil - OT - USC
3. Washington (From Minnesota) - Robert Griffin III - QB - Baylor (1st, 2nd, and possibly 3rd round pick)
4. Cleveland - Trent Richardson - RB - Alabama
5. Tampa Bay - Morris Claiborne - CB- LSU
6. Minnesota (From Washington) - Jonathan Martin - OT - Stanford

Don't get excited just yet, if Adam Shefter speculates that it would take at least 3 #1's and 2 #2's for the overall #1 pick, what does it say about the 2nd or 3rd overall pick? A lot more than you think.

I mock:

10. Washington (trade down with Buffalo, picking up a second or third): Ryan Tannehill, QB

JPP has freakish speed and explosion, Rak simply isn't in his league in that regard.

And a freakish wingspan.

Luck is in a different league from RGIII as a prospect. While teams will certainly be enamored with RGIII he's not the type of guy that teams will be willing to trade the farm for. He's in that Cam Newton/Sam Bradford territory where people aren't sure he should be picked so high but they understand. Panthers and Rams failed to receive any serious calls for their respective number 1 picks on draft day.

It's because of his brother and nothing else. Andy Pollin said it best on ESPN980am last week- the Harbaugh brothers can coach, the Ryan brothers can act. So pompous. So loud. And for what?

Because he looks like Merlin, and you DO NOT F&@% with a wizard!!

Especially not a wizard who eats only hotdogs and twinkies!

Nice to see the roids getting run over. However much I may hate the gints, it's not close to how much I hate the cowboys.

I mock:

10. Washington (trade down with Buffalo, picking up a second or third): Ryan Tannehill, QBIf we have any faith whatsoever that Tannehill or Foles can be our starting quarterback next season, they would be a better target for our draft day plan than Griffin. You can simply do more with less if your evaluation tells you that Foles or Tannehill are worth drafting in the first round.

Though if in the estimation of a talent evaluator, this is a Luck, Griffin and nothing else draft, then the smart money becomes going UP for Griffin (or depending on price, Luck) as opposed to waiting and hoping.

In short, when you pick 6th overall, what you think of Foles and Tannehill is big. If you like either a lot, I would PASS on Robert Griffin even if he fell to us. Come in with a plan, stay the course. If you don't like either, I would go get Griffin aggressively. Second or third overall if needed.
