2010 NFL Draft Round 1 Complete, with Skilled Position Video Highlight Reels

April 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

Round 1 of the 2010 NFL Draft is complete.  As expected, with the #1 Pick, Matthew Stafford goes to the Rams.  But, kind of surprising, the Broncos trade up to draft Tim Tebow with the 25th pick.  It is interesting there were only a total of 8 offensive skilled position players drafted in the 1st round.  The rest of the draft results with commentary are on a ton of other websites, so instead, below are some college highlight compilations of skilled positions players (minus QBs) drafted today. All of these guys seriously look like they could be fantasy football draft worthy.

Pick 9 – C.J. Spiller (RB) – Bills

Pick 12 – Ryan Matthews (RB) – Chargers

Pick 21 – Jermaine Gresham (TE) – Bengals

Pick 22 – Demaryius Thomas (WR) – Broncos

Pick 24 – Dez Bryant (WR) – Cowboys

Pick 30 – Javhid Best (RB) – Lions

Week 11 – Thursday, 19 Nov 09 Picks

November 19th, 2009 · No Comments

Due to a busy schedule..  Fred and I will be giving you our Thursday picks here and the rest of the picks will follow this weekend.

Dolphins @ Panthers
Eddie: With Ronnie Brown out and playing in Carolina I can see the Dolphin adjustment being an issue.  The Panthers offense appear to have found a rhythm so I’ll ride the train until it comes to a complete stop.  Confidence Points = 16

Fred:  A large part of the Dolphins offensive success this year thus far is Ronnie Brown in the Wildcat, which is no more.  Meanwhile, the Panthers is firing on all cylinders with the Stewart/Williams RB tandem.  In Carolina, the Panthers should easily win this one.  Confidence Points = 7
