Since it’s Thanksgiving week, we decided to do some home cooking on the “Cover Two Podcast”, and NFL Network’s Charles Davis and NFL.com fantasy guru Michael Fabiano stopped through to eat.

The Cincinnati Bengals’ trade of disgruntled quarterback Carson Palmer to the Oakland Raiders on Tuesday stands as one of the biggest draft-day deals in NFL history.

NFL Network analyst Charles Davis says Ryan Fitzpatrick’s gritty-gutty style not only epitomizes Bills, but that tough, nothing-to-lose approach is part of what has led to their recent success.

Veteran wide receiver — and future Hall of Famer — Randy Moss presents one of the most intriguing names when the free-agent market eventually opens.

We’ve spent a considerable amount of time — and, for the forseeable future, will continue to do so — discussing the quarterbacks expected to eventually be available in both free agency and trades.

In an unscientific straw poll conducted during the seventh round, we asked some NFL.com and NFL Network personalities for their favorite picks of Day 3 of the 2011 NFL Draft.

Washington QB Jake Locker took a seat on the “Path to the Draft” set with Paul Burmeister, Charles Davis and Michael Lombardi to discuss his workouts with former NFL QB Ken O’Brien, the game that most defined him as a college player and why he thinks the criticism of his passing accuracy isn’t accurate.

Here’s a look at three players who analysts Brian Baldinger, Charles Davis and Michael Lombardi view as having as rising draft stocks.
