NFL.com senior analyst Pat Kirwan offered up his two-round mock draft, and one name that stood out was Nebraska CB Prince Amakamara going to the Cowboys. Interesting choice, and when you think of the Cowboys drafting a defensive back you can’t help by think of the famed Rod Hill pick in 1982.

Patrick Kerney isn’t done playing yet. The Seahawks DE said in a text message Tuesday night that “I’ve got a couple good ones left in me. … Gonna be in sick shape.”

Seahawks fans should temper their expectations for an immediate turnaround under Pete Carroll. Carroll’s arrival has been widely hailed in Seattle, but until his soon-to-be-appointed general manager overhauls the team’s roster, he is another college coach destined to fail.

Bills QB Trent Edwards, Seahawks LB Lofa Tatupu and Eagles LT Jason Peters were among the players who suffered injuries in Week 6.

Ravens starting LT Jared Gaither was hospitalized for further testing after being injured in a collision during Sunday’s game against the Patriots. Eli Manning, Matthew Stafford and Devin Hester also left their respective games with injuries.

We all know that anything can happen in the NFL, and last season, the Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons were among the league’s surprise teams. With that in mind, here are the most dangerous 2008 non-playoff teams that will make noise in 2009, and some might even find their way into the postseason.
