Final Stats Inc. nugget: Ohio State’s Ryan Shazier had the most missed tackles in 2013 (12) of the top 10 linebacker prospects this year.




That's a very interesting stat fans....MOST Missed tackles ?....Hell, he would fit in nicely with our Defense

article speculating on how this could be Ozzie Newsome's last year as GM. Not to wish another person bad fortune as his health may be a concern, but it would be a big loss for the Ravens. He has done an incredible job for them and is generally considered one of the best.

Casserly has no stake in this. He works for the NFL Network not any particular team. Why would he send a smoke screen? I heard him say on the Dan Patrick show today, there was dirt on Manziel that he didn't feel comfortable talking about on the air. This guy, has an ex-NFL GM, has inside information. I doubt very seriously if he is going to talk out the side of his neck on something like this.

Ask Ben Roethlisberger what he thinks about Manziel.

I am not saying Casserly is throwing a smokescreen. I am saying he is being thrown off the scent.
Why in the world would anyone truly in the know let it get out that they were NOT interested in Manziel?

It is in a teams interest to float word that you don't want Manziel only if you want him. (Nobody jumps ahead of you)
Conversely, it is in your interest to feign interest in him if you DONT want him (trade opportunity)

After months of speculation that he goes top 5 SUDDENLY he is a second rounder? Teams needing a QB are ALL leaking he ain't their guy?

I ain't buying it, not for a second.

My inside sources say that Starlifter might not even get drafted by a team in spite of being invited to Radio City.

His knees are shot and he can't play center, but the Browns could take him in the third round.

On SportsCenter, Bill Polian praised pick of Aaron Donald to the Rams at 13: "He's worth his weight in gold, this is a great pick."

[JUST-PLAIN-NASTY]

The Steelers are not interested in Benjamin or Ebron in the first...I would bet on that.

You a buyer with Benjamin & a 3rd?
