Good Morning Broncos Country! What a day it was for the Broncos yesterday. They signed a couple more big bodies, likely completing an overhaul of the defensive line. By adding nearly 50 pounds combined along the defensive front, the Broncos are well prepared to attack the run, and opposing offenses next season. These acquisitions don't mean the end for guys like Ryan McBean or Marcus Thomas, either. It does create a nice rotation, however, to keep the entire group fresh. Don't forget the D-Line is coached by one of the best in the business in Wayne Nunnely. He got quite a bit out of an undersized group last year. With the talent infusion, along with his knowledge of Jamal Williams from their days in San Diego together, this should be an exciting group in 2010.

The Broncos continued adding talent to the defensive line on Tuesday, announcing that defensive lineman Jamal Williams has agreed to terms.

Now Allen’s son, Bruce, is developing the Redskins new philosophy, "The Future is not only now but later."
Is Dez Bryant's draft stock falling fast? | National Football Post
I spoke with several NFL coaches today — as well as a high-level NFL executive — who think that drafting Bryant is a major risk. One coach even brought up the idea that Bryant is not the type of receiver who would catch the ball in between the numbers, which is the same thing as talking about a receiver who will not go across the middle of the field.
Pro days can give prospects a second chance | National Football Post

At a minimum, seniors to be are measured and weighed, and there’s a collection of basic data such as birth date, phone number and some personal background information.
