    Final projection

    Russell going #1 to Oakland works out well for AZ. Johnson going there does not. Threw a couple trades in this, as well. 1. Oakland - JaMarcus Russell, QB, Louisiana State 2. Tampa Bay - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech* 3. Cleveland - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame 4. Detroit -...

    Final draft projection

    Barring a quick turnaround in the Bush negotiations, this is how I see things shaking out. 1. Houston – Mario Williams, DE, NC State 2. New Orleans – Reggie Bush, RB, USC 3. Tennessee – Vince Young, QB, Texas 4. NY Jets – D’Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia 5. Green Bay – A.J. Hawk...

    Final Draft Projection

    Seems like the Rodgers slip is legit, while the Benson drop may not. Don’t understand it, but I’m not a scout. Usually there aren’t many trades inside the top 10, but then again, this isn’t your typical draft. Anyway, here’s my final mock draft: 1. SF – Alex Smith, QB, Utah 2. Wsh...

    New Radio Home

    Paul Calvisi just went on the air with it, so I guess I can fill everyone in: The new radio home of the Arizona Cardinals is ESPN Radio 860. ESPN Radio 860 will carry all the Cardinals games this season, which will also be simulcast on NewsRadio 620 KTAR when there is not a...

    Bullpen Arms Need Relief

    http://www.aztrib.com/index.php?sty=22365 Bullpen arms need relief By Scott Bordow, Tribune The quality of work by Diamondbacks relievers this year has been cause for alarm. So, too, should be the amount of work they’re getting. There’s concern within the organization that...

    Can anyone explain Mantei's new role

    Since demotion: 3 appearances, 2.1 innings (out of 81), and no appearances in the last 4 games, including two where the D-Backs were leading by 4 or more, which closer Jose Valverde had to finish out.

    D-Backs in trouble w/ MLB?

    By ED PRICE East Valley Tribune (Mesa, Ariz.) CHICAGO -- Alleged improprieties surrounding the signing of one of the Arizona Diamondbacks' top prospects, uncovered by ESPN, might not result in any penalty against the team. The issue concerns right-hander Adriano Rosario, a former member...

    Fitz to Jax?

    If something seems like it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Larry Fitzgerald looked to be a perfect fit here. He was Dennis Green’s ballboy, longtime family friend and future slot receiver. One problem: I don’t think he’ll be available at #3. It appears as if the Jacksonville...

    Brenly's slip

    Expectations don't rattle steady Webb Bob McManaman The Arizona Republic Feb. 29, 2004 Brenly on Webb: "Despite his southern accent, (Webb's) a pretty sharp guy, and he picks things up rather quickly." I'm not big on political correctness, but this struck me as a little inapproriate.

    The Anti-Bidwill

    Al Davis is weird, egotistical and very stubborn, but at least he makes no excuses about money when it comes to wins. In point of fact, the Raiders were 31st in revenue in 2003 when they went to the Super Bowl while moneymakers like the Redskins and Cowboys were preparing for free agency and...

    Coaching Carrousel

    The coaching carrousel will start winding down. I would expect Jim Fassel to take the first opening next week in either Buffalo or Washington. Washington seems to be the favorite, but Buffalo is probably the better fit and can win immediately. After a quick meeting with Nick Saban, I think...

    Seattle Contrast

    Let me illustrate some of the frustrations with the way an archaic organization is run and why, in today's NFL, it's the little things that count. Seattle GM needs to rebuild a defense. He has some good pieces (Chad Brown, John Randle, Simmons, Springs) but the "belly" of the team needs to...

    Boselli to retire

    Talk about poor drafting. Houston was very foolish to pass on a quality OT in Round 2 for insurance purposes. Now they will pay for it. http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/2003/0715/1581163.html
