Calvin Johnson

In my first installment of my 2010 NFL Mock draft I received a lot of comments with people speaking out about two or three of my picks. Mainly Tim Tebow going sixth to the Seattle Seahawks, Gerald McCoy 12th to the Miami Dolphins and Jahvid Best 21st to the New York Jets. So far no new big names have thrown their name into the 2010 draft pool. However I would like to point out that UW quarterback Jake Locker IS NOT going to be in the 2010 mock draft. I have seen at least five or more mock drafts in the last few days with Locker still in them. So with that being said [...] Continue reading →

QB: Jay Cutler, 3rd yr, Denver Broncos One of the strongest arms in football. RB: Marshawn Lynch, 2nd yr, Buffalo Bills Rushed for over 1,100 yards as a rookie. Improved patience will translate to big things. WR: Vincent Jackson, 4th yr, San Diego Chargers Outstanding size augments his first-class athleticism. Came alive in the playoffs last year. WR: Calvin Johnson, 2nd yr, Detroit Lions Healthy, more mature, playing in a new offense.

LT: D’Brickashaw Ferguson, 3rd yr, New York Jets The [...] Continue reading →
