Being in the NFL market that is currently on the clock(St. Louis), I felt it necessary that I write about the NFL.
First, we'll discuss the mess that is the Chad Johnson situation
Ocho Cinco needs to quit being a baby and decide whether or not he wants to play football or try to be a whiner who is a poor man's T.O. when it comes to end zone celebrations. Don't get me wrong, I think Chad Johnson is one of the top WRs in the NFL. However, he needs to get to training camp and play hard this season for the Bengals. Cincinnati is not going to trade him in the offseason so he needs to do what T.O. did in Philly, which is shut up and play the season. I see Johnson being traded next off season, not this one.
Second, I like the move of Jared Allen to the Vikings. Allen will solidify the D-Line for the Vikings, which has struck out on defensive ends in the past few years(Ukeze is the main one I'm thinking of). This will allow the Chiefs to draft a DE in the draft on Saturday.
Third, the NFL stated that, for the time being, the Rams can not negotiate with the player(s) that they want to pick #2 in the draft. I think the league will allow the Rams to negotiate with either Chris Long of Virginia or Glenn Dorsey of LSU.
Lastly, here's what I think will happen from Picks 2 to 7(I'm not Mel Kiper or Todd McShay-thank goodness) 2-Rams: DE Chris Long-Virginia 3-Falcons: QB Matt Ryan-Boston College 4-Saints(trade with Raiders): DT Glenn Dorsey-LSU 5-Chiefs: OLB/DE Vernon Gholsten-Ohio State 6-Jets: RB Darren McFadden-Arkansas 7-Patriots-LB Keith Rivers-USC
I am an avid sports fan who attempts to watch/read about as many games as possible. Growing up in St. Louis, I am a die-hard St. Louis Cardinals fan. Not having an NFL team for most of my life, until the Rams showed up, I am a Tennessee Titans fan and I am also a University of Tennessee fan. I am a recent graduate of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
