Part of it has to do with the Combine, part of it his most recent Pro Day, and part of it his entire set of game film that honestly, I wasn’t overly impressed with.

Why He Was High on Boards:

Davis was a top-10 pick on many boards (not ours) for most of the year, competing with Bryan Bulaga as the second best offensive tackle in this draft class. Most scouts felt that with his 320-plus pound size, surprisingly long arms, wide base for a bigger offensive tackle, and mobility, it could make him into a Flozell Adams-like left tackle in the pros after a few years of coaching.

He was rather consistent on a game-by-game basis, and rarely was there a game where he didn’t flash a scent of dominance that intrigued scouts. Based on his game performance, scouts felt that he’d be a great Combine workout guy, and would show that not only could he dominate on the field, but could hold his own with any tackle in his class with respect to the athletic drills.

Why He’s Falling on Boards:

To start, he first started falling on boards thanks to the NFL Combine. I, along with most NFL scouts, were expecting one of the better workouts and times among the offensive lineman in Davis. But when he posted some average bench press numbers and running times, along with very average pass protection drills, red flags started to be raised.

Now, however, scouts have actual beef with Davis. At his Pro Day on March 10, after meeting with NFL personnel the night before, bailed altogether on working out at his pro day, claiming he has a hamstring injury. Well, scouts will either be mad that he lied and didn’t tell them about the injury, or that he just didn’t want to workout and wasted all of their time. He didn’t even weigh in, which didn’t take a hamstring injury to limit him from.

My Scouting Report:

Maybe you’ve already gleaned the fact that I’m not a huge fan of Davis by my constant references to "scouts like" and "scouts think" in this article. I’ve watched about five full Rutgers games this year (I am fully responsible for the Big East at Optimum Scouting , and still scout the whole country), and I never felt Davis was an NFL left tackle for sure.

He feet aren’t quick enough for speed guys, and he’ll need tight end and running back help in the 3-4 defense nearly every play. He’s been a right tackle on my board for the entire season, and I feel he’s more of a Vernon Carey of Miami than a Flozell Adams or Andre Smith. He’s never had a top-15 grade on NFLHouse.com’s board.

Possible Destinations:

Now, after saying that he’s unlikely to be a left tackle, I wouldn’t let a power run offensive tackle of Davis’ talent slip out of the first round. Plenty of power running teams will be looking for his services. If he’s a left tackle, then you got a steal. If he’s a right tackle, he’ll likely be a very good one for many years.

Watch for Him To Go to One of These Six Teams:

No. 17 to San Francisco

No. 18 to Pittsburgh

No. 19 to Atlanta

No. 26 to Arizona

No. 27 to Dallas

No. 28 to San Diego

The three-year deal is worth $3.5 million and could reach $12 million.

The Redskins, who had a 4-12 record last season, are looking to turn things around this year with new head coach Mike Shanahan.

Johnson was cut from the Kansas City Chiefs last year and signed with the Cincinnati Bengals. He carried the ball 178 times for 581 yards.

Shanahan called Johnson "a physical runner and good addition to the backfield."

Johnson is expected to share the load with RB Clinton Portis.

No one knows what the organization is going to do come April.

But what I do know is that there is a list of big names on the draft board that the Seahawks just simply should not draft.

1.) USC S Taylor Mays

Mays can hit, and hit hard, but his field intelligence just isn't there. He lacks awareness, and simply put is just another LB in the secondary ( Michael Boulware, anyone?). Yes, Mays has amazing speed and strength, but he really never wraps up when he tackles and he doesn't get low for the tackle. Imagine Mays trying to blitz and hit Stephen Jackson: the outcome would almost always be in Jackson's favor.

I wouldn't mind getting Mays in the second round. However, it's more likely that he'll disappoint some other team that drafts him in the first round.

2.) Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen

Clausen isn't a leader. I love Matt Hasselbeck because he is the face and leader of the offense. You won't get that from Clausen.

Clausen also throws side-armed; man it's going to be annoying when the ball gets batted down six to seven times a game. He really reminds me of David Carr...how's Carr's career going, anyways? Clausen also didn't win in college. Yes, Notre Dame's defense was horrible, but college is a talent league. Manning didn't have much talent surrounding him but he won.

Also, Clausen's arm strength is suspect. I'll be honest, all things considered, Clausen is the best West Coast Offense QB in this year's draft. You will just never hear him say, "Give us the ball and we're gonna score."

3.) Iowa LT Bryan Bulaga

Bulaga is going to be a dominate tackle in the NFL, starting on the right side. He has short arms for a left tackle, but why is that important? Well, some say football is a game of inches, and I believe that. A left tackle needs longer arms, because when it comes to pass protection, those extra two or three inches of reach could be the difference between a first down and a forced fumble.

Secondly, Bulaga's body already looks like it's at max mass. His frame is already filled out, where as if you look at Charles Brown, it appears as if he could add 10 pounds of muscle or bulk.

Thirdly, Bulaga can be bull rushed. I don't know about you guys, but when the Vikings come to town, I don't want to see Jared Allen shoving our promising left tackle into our QB.

4.) Maryland LT Bruce Campbell

Man, of all the left tackles in this year's draft, Campbell is the best of the bunch. Campbell is the strongest, most gifted, quick-footed left tackle in this year's draft, and I still hope he won't be wearing a Seahawks jersey come September.

The guy is just injury prone. He started 17 games over the last three years. He missed much of last year due turf toe and a torn MCL. When a left tackle loses his knees, he losses strength and mobility. I truly hope Seattle doesn't spend number six money on him.

It was only one year ago that many of us members of Steeler Nation were proclaiming that the Steelers were a dynasty in the making. We talked about how great the team was, and even though there were areas that needed to be addressed, we were still the best team ever.

Now that we have gone from Super Bowl champions to not making the playoffs, everyone is quick to point out all of the problems the Steelers are having.

So what really happened?

Ben Roethlisberger will return for his seventh season, and regardless of us believing in his innocence or guilt—as we perceive it—Ben is innocent until proved guilty. Ben will be under center for years to come.

At running back, Steeler Nation should be even more confident than it was at this time last year. There is no more talk about whether or not Willie Parker has anything left in the tank—and no one is wondering whether Rashard Mendenhall has earned the top of the depth chart.

There is a question as to who is going to be Mendenhall's backup—but it is a lot nicer to be worrying about who the backup is as opposed to who the starter is.

The Steelers are still set at receiver—again, there is less concern here, because instead of worrying about Limas Sweed, we know Mike Wallace has the speed and field- stretching ability.

Not only that, Antwaan Randle El's return brings experience in case of injury to Hines Ward.

Heath Miller has been re-signed. Sean McHugh will be back from injury. Matt Spaeth was tendered, so he will be back, and David Johnson enters his second season.

As for the offensive line, at least I can say that the unit will return intact from the unit that started last year.

Sure, it is not an All-Pro unit, but the linemen are young and hungry—and more than likely, they will have another addition through an early draft pick.

As for the defense, that ancient line has an infusion with the first-round addition of Ziggy Hood. The Steelers have also added Sonny Harris—who, even though he is not ready to step in and contribute immediately, is tomorrow's Aaron Smith.

The biggest issue with last year was that many people believed that the Steelers made a mistake by releasing Larry Foote and keeping James Farrior. From the rumor on profootballtalk.com, Foote has left Arizona without a contract, and he will be in Pittsburgh on Monday to rejoin the team.

LaMarr Woodley has become a force on one side comparable to James Harrison on the other, and Lawrence Timmons has taken strides to make sure that whoever is the other ILB will be the No. 2.

Yes, I have to admit that there are still concerns with the Steelers corners, but as the Steelers go, they normally know what they were doing.

Last year, they drafted Keenan Lewis and Joe Burnett in the third and fifth round, respectively. No, neither one of them contributed very much last year. However, that is par for the course for the Steelers drafting players and giving them a year to watch from the sidelines before throwing them into the fire.

Last year at this time, we were all afraid that Ryan Clark would be done in Pittsburgh. Not only did the Steelers re-sign him, but they also brought in depth with Will Allen. 

As for special teams, Jeff Reed is back under the franchise tag, and Daniel Sepulveda will return under his tender. The Steelers also found Stefan Logan, who is a danger any time he gets his hands on the ball.

The biggest downside, in my opinion, is the return of Bruce Arians, but as Art Rooney has stated, the Steelers will be committed to running the ball better—which probably means that they will be running the ball more.

Anyway you choose to look at this, it is your opinion. You can say that this Steelers team is only one year removed from winning its NFL record sixth Super Bowl championship, or you can say that they lost to easy teams last year when they should have won.

Those of you who want to look at the negative, feel free. But there is one thing I am certain of: The sky is not falling in Pittsburgh.

Haden is Scouts Inc.'s No. 1 ranked cornerback with Wilson coming in at No. 2, but there are many experts and scouts in the NFL that have a bad taste in their mouth based on Haden's slow 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine.

Haden will have a chance to redeem himself at Florida's Pro Day workout.

Wilson on the other hand, only managed to impress everyone and increase his draft stock at the combine.

He ran a very fast 40-yard dash and surprised many with his strength in the bench press.

Some will say that if the Browns really want Wilson, then the best thing to do is trade down into the late teens of the first round, where Wilson is projected to be a better value for his skill set.

What many are not talking about is how Haden has dropped in some mock drafts, and he has been seen as far as No. 17 in a few others.

Wilson has been projected as high as No. 13 in some mocks too.

Yes, mocks are all speculation, but if one player like Haden can drop, then it's not surprising to have another player rise higher in the draft because of Haden's fall.

We won't know whether Haden or Wilson will be wearing an orange helmet until draft day, but do not be surprised if the Browns switch it around and choose Wilson at No. 7.

Even though it may be called a reach, it's not a reach for the Browns who might be positioning themselves to pick the best player available at positions where they have the greatest needs.

Especially in their secondary, which needs both a starting cornerback and safety come opening day of the 2010 regular season, and many experts say that getting an impact cornerback is more important than getting an impact safety because you can leave that corner out on his own "island" every Sunday.

Days went by and nothing happened.

Then, in Bruce Allen's first move, he dropped a bunch of veterans that included Antwan Randle El, Fred Smoot, and Ladell Betts amongst others.

After that, we waited for the ESPN reports of us going after Peppers, Sharper, Berry, and every other player we had heard of. Yet, we still saw no result.

Alas, here we are on March 12, and the Redskins have made there first move by signing Larry Johnson to a three-year deal. Did the Redskins learn anything?

First, I would like to point out I really liked the cuts we made: Smoot has been just terrible in a secondary that was comedic against the deep pass; Randle El is the worst punt returner in the league, and a mediocre slot receiver; Betts is too similar of a running back to Clinton Portis to mix things up. That being said, the signing of Johnson ruins all the positives from those moves.

While Johnson is a pretty big name, it's because of what he did years ago. Running back skills decline on a slope that is steeper than any other position, and we have already seen that happen with Johnson.

With the addition of Johnson, the 'Skins now have two running backs that are in the twilight of their careers. They should have used a draft pick to get a kid who is lightening quick, and could play off of Clinton Portis.

For the unrealistic Redskin fans who will say that he didn't decline, and that the Chief offensive line was crappy, think again. Are the Redskins any better? So there, even if he wasn't in decline, he isn't going better than when he got cut by the Chiefs.

Add all of this to the fact that he's shown he can create problems off of the football field, I can literally see no upside to this move.

When it was announced that Bruce Allen was going to actually do something instead of being Dan Snyder's puppet, all D.C. fans were ecstatic. However, my excitement has dwindled to almost nothing because of this move. It shows a lack of understanding of how successful teams are built, and that the Redskins won't be able to rebuild effectively

“I don’t know, Billy.  Soon,” Ted, his father, replies.

“How Soon?"

“Soon.”

“Will she pick me up after school?”

“Probably.  And if she doesn’t, I will,”  Ted insists.

“What if you forget?”

“I won’t forget.”

“What if you get run over by a truck and get killed?”

“Then Mommy will pick you up.”

At first glance, a quote from the movie, Kramer vs. Kramer , has little place in a football forum.  However, the story of a broken marriage tells a similar story to the recent marriage of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones in the Kansas City backfield.

No, not a literal, Dennis Rodman-type marriage for publicity, but simply the uniting of two star players at the same position, on the same team.

While one situation showcases a custody battle, where time with the child is split, so must these two with regard to their carries.

Thomas Jones is coming off of a career year where he helped the New York Jets get to the AFC championship game.  A few years earlier, the Chicago Bears rode Jones to the Super Bowl.

In Kansas City, Jamaal Charles has already shown the potential for stardom, as he stormed to 1,120 rushing yards, with an eye-popping 5.9 yards per carry average.

How do two potential stars thrive on the same roster?

It’s a compromise to be discovered by any NFL team looking for a sustained dominance in their rushing attack. 

The days of the workhorse back appear to be a thing of the past.  Even a player like Adrian Peterson may see a rapid deterioration, or even a career-threatening injury remove him from the ranks of the elite.  The list goes on for running backs who saw a rapid decline in ability: Terrell Davis, Edgerrin James, and Larry Johnson among others.

The pounding a running back takes means a fewer number of years at peak performance, and therefore shortens careers. 

Any Kansas City fan who has seen Charles run knows we want as many good years out of him as we can get.  This is where Jones comes into the equation.

The Carolina Panthers and New York Giants are successful examples of a tandem backfield. 

Carolina splits carries between Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams almost evenly at roughly 13.5 carries per game.  Both had 1,000 yard seasons.

The Giants gave Brandon Jacobs an average of 14 carries per game, and the smaller, swifter Ahmad Bradshaw around 10.

The equation for success in Kansas City:

Expect Charles and Jones to each receive somewhere between 13-17 carries per game.  Thomas Jones is likely to be featured in goal line and short-yardage situations, similar to Marcus Allen in the twilight of his career.

Both have the potential to post 1,000 yard seasons, and form a top rushing attack for the Chiefs without having to break 225 carries (Larry Johnson set an NFL record with 416 carries in a season before he broke down). 

This is not only a plan to achieve success in the ground game this season, but for years to come.

"I have the utmost respect for Rex Ryan, seeing what he did last year and how quickly he turned things around with a rookie quarterback. And I sat down and watched that scheme and what they did," Sharper said.

He added, "And like I've told people before, the New York teams, there's something about the big lights and big city that fits me, and I know I would fit there." 

Coming off an All-Pro year, including nine interceptions (and three returned for touchdowns), Sharper thrived in the aggressive Saints scheme. 

The Jets traded Kerry Rhodes to Arizona because he didn't make plays, wasn't the ball hawk they wanted, and he fell out of favor with the team. 

Sharper, 34, would be a great short-term solution and could step in and contribute right away. After his career year, there is no doubt he has gas left in the tank. After all, the Jets are a team built to win now.

There are obstacles to signing unrestricted free agents for the Green and White, but Sharper's lower price tag will make it easier to bring him in. 

Mike Tannenbaum has said they are comfortable with the safeties on their roster, but then again, he has said that before about other positions and didn't end up standing pat. Inking Sharper doesn't necessarily mean the team will not draft a safety, either.

The bottom line is that the Jets need to create more turnovers on defense and Sharper can help. Sharper would give Gang Green a super secondary.

These specualted moves are brash, unexpected, bold, and to be honest, pitiful. These moves will not be the saving grace for a team that has won nine games in two years. However, there are a handful of moves that are:

Sign G Ryan Lilja or G Ben Hamiliton.

The Seahawks should not have waisted time on Ryan Lilja. I know he has had major knee surgery in the past and isn't the best run blocker, but he has helped anchor a strong Colts' offensive line. According to Profootballfocus.com, he was rated the 16th best guard in football last year. He is an immediate upgrade without sacrificing a high pick in the draft.

Ben Hamilton is another good choice as well, simply becuase he fits Alex Gibbs' style.

Trade for Brandon Marshall.

The Seahawks have not had a playmaker of his caliber since Joey Galloway. He is a much needed deep threat and will command double teams freeing up T.J. Houshmandzadeh, which is like getting two players for the price of one.

He also allows the Seahawks to not draft C.J. Spiller and select an OL. I know the Seahawks need a homerun hitter, and Marshall would be that guy. I have never been on this C.J. Spiller bandwagon, simply because of our team. Everyone just assumes that he will be this homerun threat, but how can he with no offensive line blocking for him and his QB laying on the turf? It won't happen, and he will be a gigantic bust here in Seattle.

The Seahawks need to beef up the line in order for a 'playmaker' to make plays. Marshall would take pressure off the line by spreading the field, something a RB wouldn't be able to do as well as a WR.

These moves make your draft a little easier. By adding your playmaker and a solid offensive lineman, you can now find the next great pass rusher and possibly the next franchise QB.

If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm being sarcastic.

In his first stint with the Eagles, Baskett was a frustrating player to watch. He had the size, speed, and athleticism of a true No. 1 receiver, but his hands were always a question.

He did have some good moments throughout his career in Philly. He recorded three touchdowns of 87 yards or more. Those touchdowns couldn't keep him in Philly though.

Baskett was traded to the Colts before the 2009-10 NFL season. His fate was sealed when he dropped a touchdown pass against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the preseason. To add insult to injury, the NFL used footage of that drop in a commercial for Red Zone, saying that without it you could end up missing every touchdown.

Things didn't get better for Hank in Indianapolis. He recorded just five receptions during the regular season.

The worst part of Baskett's career came in the Super Bowl. After halftime, the Saints kicked an onside kick. The ball bounced towards Baskett. He reached out, ready to grab the ball. He didn't. The ball was recovered by New Orleans. This kick gave all the momentum to New Orleans and propelled them to a win over the Saints.

To make things worse, Baskett's wife Kendra was seen leaving the stadium in tears.

So what is the point of this signing? I, honestly, have no idea.

He can't catch in traffic. Wide receivers need to catch in traffic. We all know that he can't recover onside kicks.

This is just another example of how unpredictable and mysterious the Eagles' front office is.
