Not many that are good though.
Baker is a pretty decent player and could have gone anywhere from round 4 down.

Fair play but I was being serious - that is impressive if you've come up with that on your own.
Slight tangent but I find it incredible the depth NFL teams go into when drafting players - was it Stafford who saw his backside with the 49ers because they were concerned that his parents divorce was affecting him? Crazy.

Ok. Yeah I came up with the ratings. I really love the draft it is fantastic. It's great reading about potential draft picks, especially ones the Packers may draft. If anything the later round picks are more interesting than the first round. Round one it is virtually guaranteed, barring any stupid drafts who people will take. Alot of mock drafts have had Raji to the Packers since last November for example.
ESPN America is also great for college football.

I never heard that!
I suppose for some teams it is more of an issue than others. Andre Smith (Bengals) was drafted six and he has major character concerns so they obviously don't mind it. Likewise Percy Hervin (Vikings), he is undoubtedly a talented player, but he could easily have fallen out of the first round all together.
As for what kind of stuff they get into with prospects, especially first round players, it is ridiculous i'd imagine. Frankly who can blame them when they are about to invest $millions in a player who is unproven.
Thankfully we seem to draft high character/decent guys off the field.

| Bengals release Ryan Plackemeier and Kyle Larson today, I can see one of them ending up with the Colts, I had no idea that they'd released Hunter Smith and that he's gone to the Redskins.

I forget the name of it, but there is a great book looking behind the scenes at the Ravens. The stuff on the draft is fascinating. In fact, it all is - excellent read.
I've just bought 'From patsies to Superbowl champions - management secrets of the New England Patriots' - should be an interesting one!

Is it Next Man Up by John Feinstein?
I've not read it but apparently it is good.

Only one page needed for that. Cheat.
Tedy Bruschi's autobiography is a very good read. Talks alot about playing and then alot about the problems with his heart attack and how he came back to play.
Evolution Of A Game by Micheal Lewis is the next book i'm going to buy. It's about Michael Oher and his story.
It was chronicled in the New York Times as rlThe Ballad Of Big Mikerl

I like the LB San Diego picked up Darry Beckwith i think he should have been drafted in the first place

I thought Bruschi had a stroke and not a heart attack ?
