Texas’ Earl Thomas tops my list as the best safety prospect in this draft class, because I consider him the most instinctual player I’ve seen at the position in several years.

Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford has the potential to go No. 1 to the Rams, but is he worthy of that lofty standing?

While two offensive linemen impress, there are a couple of below-the-radar prospects to keep an eye on.

Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford may ultimately wind up as the No. 1 overall pick, but defensive tackles Gerald McCoy (Oklahoma) and Ndamukong Suh (Nebraska) are the best two prospects in this year’s class.

With so many teams playing the 3-4 defense these days, college defensive ends are often being asked to run some outside linebacker drills at their pro days.

I love pro days where the kids aren’t household names and their dreams of extending their football careers hang in the balance. There were 17 NFL teams at Temple on Thursday, March 18, and it’s a testament to head coach Al Golden and his rejuvanated program.

When I look at Brett Favre on the Minnesota Vikings — ignoring all of the obvious things — what I see is the Vikings getting better in the red zone and on third downs. Really, Favre makes the entire offense better, and opposing defenses will no longer be able to take liberties against the Vikings.
