• After barely scraping out a win against lowly St. Louis in Week 2 then helping Detroit snap their 19-game losing streak in Week 3 it looks as though the Washington Redskins season might already be circling the drain. Former first round pick Jason Campbell is shouldering much of the blame and even though he is actually playing pretty well statistically the team still isn’t sold on him. Campbell will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the year and it doesn’t look like Washington has much interest in keeping him around so they will likely be in the market for a new quarterback.

    This past offseason Washington aggressively pursued both Jay Cutler and Mark Sanchez but came up short, which has to sting considering the success those two are having with their new teams. There doesn’t figure to be another 25-year-old franchise quarterback like Cutler available on the trade market this time around so the Redskins will have to turn their attention to the draft. Barring a move up it’s hard to imagine them getting a shot at Oklahoma’s Sam Bradford, who will likely be a Top 5 overall pick. Then again, if they continue to play like they have been you never know… A Top 10 pick appears to be well within the realm of possibility though and that would leave the Redskins with a major dilemma. Most would agree that the offensive line is actually Washington’s biggest problem and in my opinion they would be better off re-signing Campbell, who they have spent five years developing, and drafting a blocker such as Trent Williams. However, that just isn’t the way this organization operates. Owner Daniel Snyder has shown time and time again that he prefers flash over substance, which is a big reason why the franchise continually disappoints and underachieves. With that being the case the Skins will probably pass on the top offensive linemen in favor of a signal caller, despite their glaring needs up front. Even though he has struggled a bit early in the season Jevan Sneed of Ole Miss would appear to be the most realistic target at this point, although knowing Snyder he probably fancies Florida's Tim Tebow.

    Yes, that Tebow remark was meant to be tongue in cheek because he is far from a Top 10 pick but I guess you can’t put anything past Snyder. Nobody would create more excitement or sell more tickets than "Touchdown Tim"...

    Washington plays in arguably the toughest division in the league so when you combine that daunting schedule with their lackluster recent play this has the potential to be a very long season for the Redskins. However, regardless of whether they have the #1 pick, #10 or #32 the Redskins will most likely be targeting a quarterback in round one. The only real question is who will it be.

• Throughout the draft process Tyson Jackson was always considered to be a sure-fire first round pick but since he wasn’t a dynamic sack artist there wasn’t a lot of buzz surrounding him. It wasn’t until just a few days before the draft, when it became clear that the Kansas City Chiefs were going to take him #3 overall, that people finally began to take notice. Northwestern’s Corey Wootton probably isn’t going to be a Top 3 pick next April but he is going to be a first round pick and pro scouts are actually much higher on him than most realize.

    A four-year starter, Wootton would have been a second or third round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft if he hadn’t torn the anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and meniscus cartilage in his right knee against Missouri in the Alamo Bowl last December. That meant instead of leaving early for the pros Wootton was relegated to a long offseason of surgery and rehab. After registering a career-best 16.0 tackles for a loss and 10.0 sacks as a junior Wootton is off to a slow start in 2009 but he is clearly still not 100% healthy and scouts have been taking that into consideration.

    An imposing physical specimen at 6-7 and 280 pounds, Wootton has very long arms and the frame to hold even more weight if needed. Other than that extraordinary size what really stands out about Wootton is his versatility. Not only can Wootton excel as an all-around defensive end in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme but he has also shown the ability to drop into coverage, which has led some to suggest that he could handle playing outside linebacker as well. Wootton is obviously very talented but he also earns high marks in the intangibles department, possessing the type of character and work ethic that teams covet. When it comes to weaknesses Wootton has good, but not great, speed (4.8), he isn’t an explosive pass rusher off the edge and he tends to be a bit inconsistent at times but the biggest concern that scouts have is durability. In addition to that serious knee injury Wootton also missed most of the 2005 season with a neck problem, which led to him redshirting. Doctors will obviously put him through the ringer in pre-draft physicals but when healthy Wootton is arguably the top senior defensive end prospect in the entire country.

    Teams in the market for a dominant 15 sack per year guy should probably look elsewhere because Corey Wootton just isn’t that guy. However, those looking for a big, athletic, versatile player who can hold his own against the run, pass and even in coverage will surely fall in love with him. Don't be misled by Wootton's rather pedestrian statistics and perceived lack of overall flash because, like Tyson Jackson, he is going to come off the board very early on Draft Day.

• This senior class doesn’t feature a lot of star power at the cornerback position but there is one prospect who should be getting a lot more attention than he is.

    Oklahoma State’s Perrish Cox isn’t exactly a household name, even in draftnik circles, but he is undoubtedly one of the top senior corners in the country. Physically Cox has everything that scouts look for, checking in at 6-0 and 198 pounds with speed estimated to be in the 4.4 range. A fantastic athlete with the quick feet and fluid hips to turn and run in coverage, Cox is a playmaker in the secondary with the hands and open field running skills to make quarterbacks pay dearly for their mistakes. In addition to his defensive exploits Cox is also an excellent kick returner, averaging 29.8 yards on 30 attempts as a junior and he even took two all the way back to the house. Cox could stand to be more physical and he tends to be a little undisciplined and sloppy with his technique at times but those issues can all be corrected with coaching. In the Cowboys season opener Cox had a bit of a coming out party, helping to keep Georgia’s super sophomore wideout A.J. Green out of the endzone and limiting him to just 4 receptions for 52 yards. Cox will surely be tested throughout the year in the pass-happy Big 12 so there will be plenty of opportunities for him to showcase his talents against the likes of Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech.

    Florida State’s Patrick Robinson is widely regarded to be the #1 senior cornerback prospect for the 2010 NFL Draft but beyond him there really is no consensus, with a throng of cover guys competing for the second spot. Kentucky’s Trevard Lindley, Oregon’s Walter Thurmond III and Boise State’s Kyle Wilson (among others) all have higher profiles nationally but Cox is arguably a better pro prospect. Right now Cox looks like a solid second / third round value but it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that he could compete for a slot in the latter portion of round one before all is said and done.

• The college football season is less than a month old but the two best tight end prospects for the 2010 NFL Draft have already gone down with serious injuries.

    A couple of weeks ago it was announced that a knee surgery would keep Oklahoma's Jermaine Gresham from playing in 2009 and now comes word that Arizona's Rob Gronkowski will be sidelined for the entire year with a back ailment. This obviously doesn't bode well for teams that may be looking to add a top-flight tight end on Draft Day but let's take a brief glance at where these injuries now leave  the Class of '10.

    First of all it’s important to keep in mind that just because Gresham and Gronkowski won’t be playing this year that doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be a part of the 2010 NFL Draft. Gresham, a senior, and Gronkowski, a junior, both have redshirt years available so they do have the option of playing another year in college. However, even though their draft stock is sure to be adversely affected by these injuries Gresham and Gronkowski could still compete to be the first player chosen at their position next April. Granted it might be a little later than if they were coming off of healthy, productive campaigns but even so late round one or early round two is nothing to sneeze at. Neither player has spoken publically about their plans yet but of the two Gresham seems to be the most likely to take his chances on Draft Day, especially since he has already delayed the start of his pro career once. Meanwhile Gronkowski is just a true junior so this is the first year that he is draft-eligible and considering the troublesome nature of back injuries scouts will probably want to see him get back on the field before they feel comfortable taking him with a premium draft pick. On the other hand Gronkowski’s brother Chris, who also plays for the Wildcats, is a senior and will be moving on after this season and he may want to follow him out the door so that’s something to watch out for as well. With all that said the futures of Gresham and Gronkowski are very much in flux at this point and it may be a few months before we hear anything officially about their intentions.

    Assuming for the time being that both Gresham and Gronkowski are out of the mix you may be wondering if there are any other first round options at tight end. In short, the answer is probably not. When it comes to the senior class there isn’t another tight end who is anything close to first round material. In fact, right now no one else is even considered a lock for the top two rounds. Athletic Florida junior Aaron Hernandez might end up being 2010 NFL Draft’s lone hope for a top tight end prospect but he is a one-dimensional H-Back type who is still awfully raw and realistically more of a fringe first rounder, at best.

    Needless to say there are now more questions than answers at the tight end position. My how things can change in just a few short weeks! Perhaps someone else will emerge as the season progresses (keep an eye on South Carolina's Weslye Saunders) but based on the way things currently stand this could be the first time in more than a decade that there isn't a tight end chosen in round one.

• In many ways “Underrated Quarterback” is an oxymoron and it’s not very often that we see a signal caller fly under the radar. In fact, most of the time good college quarterbacks get overrated due to the excessive amounts of attention and praise that are heaped upon them. Graham Harrell and Chase Daniel are perfect examples of this phenomenon. However, Cincinnati’s Tony Pike is the rare exception to that rule and even though he isn’t a household name just yet he is definitely on the NFL’s radar.

    Don’t feel too bad if you’re not all that familiar with Pike, not many are. In fact, up until about a year ago he was still buried on the Bearcats depth chart. By the start of the 2008 season Pike had managed to work his way up to second-string and when starter Dustin Grutza broke his leg early in the year Pike finally got the opportunity he’d been waiting for. All Pike did was lead the Bearcats to an 11-2 record, a Big East Championship and a BCS berth while completing 61.4% of his passes for 2,407 yards with an almost 2-to-1 TD / INT ratio. Despite that impressive debut Pike was still a relative unknown when the 2009 season kicked off but it appears as though his eye-opening 362 yard, 3 touchdown performance against Rutgers in the opener has thrust him into the national spotlight.

    As a pro prospect there is a lot to like about Tony Pike, starting with his big 6-6 frame, above-average arm strength, impressive touch, timing and accuracy and pure instincts for the position. A prototypical pocket passer, Pike isn’t going to beat defenses with his feet but he shows enough athleticism and mobility to maneuver around the pocket and buy some time when needed. Durability is a concern with Pike and he battled an assortment of injuries as a junior so that is something that will have to be monitored closely. Pike will also have to continue bulking up his rather gangly physique, although he has reportedly added about 20 pounds in the last year or so. Pike, whose father Steve played linebacker at Kent State, is still raw and in many ways a work in progress but he has a ton of upside and if he continues to develop as a senior his draft stock could soar.

    Pike actually checked in as the #3 senior quarterback in my initial rankings, behind only Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow, so I am obviously very high on him. Guys like Dan LeFevour and Tim Hiller have more impressive college resumes but don’t be surprised if Pike comes off the board before a number of his more highly-touted counterparts. Pike isn’t going to be a first round pick or anything extreme like that but in my opinion he is already a solid mid-round value and has starting potential at the next level. Keep a close eye on Tony Pike because he could start shooting up draft boards in the coming weeks and months.

• The NFL season has begun but Michael Crabtree is nowhere to be found.

    Crabtree is the leagues only unsigned draft pick and his saga seems to take a new, bizarre twist every day. If published reports are true the big sticking point is that Crabtree, the #10 overall pick, wants to be paid more than Darrius Heyward-Bey, the #7 pick, while those crazy San Francisco 49’ers want to give him a deal slotted between what the #9 and #11 picks got. In Crabtree’s mind he is a better player than Heyward-Bey, who got a five-year deal worth up to $38.25 million with $23.5 million guaranteed, and thus he should get more money. Somebody must have forgot to tell Michael and his agent Eugene Parker that isn’t how the system works but that is apparently the root of the current stalemate. Crabtree’s camp has even gone so far as to suggest he  is prepared  to sit out the entire '09 season and re-enter the NFL Draft next April.

    Let’s take a look at this circus from both sides:

    It’s clear that Crabtree, who was widely considered to be one of the 3-5 best prospects in the 2009 NFL Draft, isn’t happy that he fell so far on Draft Day. However, one of the main reasons he slipped is because many felt he exhibited some diva-like tendencies. What better way to dispel those rumors than to stage an ugly holdout while asking for preferential treatment! So what would the future hold for Crabtree if he does indeed pass on the Niners offer, which features $16 million in guaranteed money? On one hand Crabtree has already missed so much and is so far behind that it’s unlikely he’d be able to make much of a contribution this season anyway so perhaps he would rather just get a fresh start next spring. Looking forward Crabtree would almost certainly carry a higher grade than any senior wideout prospect for the 2010 NFL Draft and Oklahoma State’s Dez Bryant might be the only draft-eligible pass catcher who could challenge him. However, many scouts feel Bryant is just as good, if not a better, prospect than Crabtree was coming out so you have to think he’d be the first wide receiver selected considering Crabtree’s character issues and year-long absence from the game. That would once again leave Crabtree as the second player chosen at his position. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that Crabtree’s rights belong to the 49’ers so he wouldn’t be able to workout or interview with other teams to try and improve his stock. The bottom line is if Crabtree does re-enter the draft it’s unlikely he would come off the board as early as he did this year and the possibility exists that many teams would simply avoid him.

    When you look at the situation from San Francisco’s perspective it’s easy to see where they are coming from. They have made Crabtree a fair offer that is in-line with where he was selected. Every other pick in the draft played by those rules, why shouldn’t he? However, if Crabtree were to re-enter the draft the Niners would receive no compensation and they certainly aren’t in any position to be giving away Top 10 picks. Right now the team is standing on principle but when push comes to shove is it really worth losing a potential elite talent like Crabtree over a few draft slots? That is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

    The do-or-die deadline is Week 10 (November 12) and if Crabtree isn’t signed by then he won’t be eligible to play this season. At that point neither side has much motivation to get a deal done. It’s obviously in everyone’s best interests for Crabtree to sign with San Francisco as soon as possible so hopefully the two sides will be able to come to their senses and reach an agreement. Stay tuned!

• Amateur and professional draftniks alike are placing Florida's Brandon Spikes amongst the premier senior prospects in the country and some even consider him to be a Top 10 overall pick. However, while Spikes is certainly the top senior inside linebacker prospect for the 2010 NFL Draft there is a good chance he will end up going considerably lower than most think.

    There is plenty to like about Spikes, who is a big, instinctive, intelligent, productive, battle-tested veteran of the SEC wars. With that said he isn't as good of a pro prospect as James Laurinaitis and Rey Maualuga were a year ago at this time and look what happened to them on Draft Day. The big concern with Spikes is his footspeed, or lack thereof, and there have even been whispers within the scouting community that his forty time might ultimately hover around the dreaded 5.0 mark. If that's the case he could be restricted to playing in a 3-4 scheme. It's not just a bad forty time with Spikes though because he doesn't really play fast on the field either and his range appears  to be pretty limited.

    There is no question that Brandon Spikes is an excellent football player but when it comes to the NFL Draft he is, in reality, probably more of a late first round pick. In fact, you shouldn't be surprised if he slips into the second round like Laurinaitis, Maualuga, Paul Posluszny, DeMeco Ryans and E.J. Henderson before him. However, as you can see the top of round two has been a veritable treasure trove for inside and middle linebackers in recent years so dropping a bit could turn out to be a blessing in disguise if Spikes lands with the right team. Perhaps New England as a replacement for Tedy Bruschi alongside Jerod Mayo.

• The first regular season game of 2009 is tonight so I guess it is time for my fearless (fearful?) predictions. It is awfully tough to be accurate with these given the parity we have in the NFL these days but that hasn't stopped me in the past.

    So without further adieu...

• Did Sam Bradford just lose $40 million?

    That’s obviously an exaggeration but it’s not a stretch to suggest that Bradford may have cost himself $12-$15 million by going back to school for another year. For those who have been living under a rock the big story of college football’s opening weekend was Bradford going down with what could be a serious injury to his throwing shoulder. The exact extent of the damage is still unknown, even to Bradford and the Sooners, but right now they are officially classifying it as a “Grade 2 or Grade 3 shoulder sprain”. The treatment plan and recovery time can vary wildly with this type of injury but Bradford will likely miss at least two to four weeks and possibly even the rest of the season, although fortunately it doesn’t appear as though he will require surgery. At least not at this point.

    This is a perfect example of why many top prospects are making a mistake when they opt to bypass the riches of the NFL for another year in college. Now bear in mind that I am talking about potential Top 10 picks, not mid-to-late rounders who in most cases would certainly be better served by using up the remainder of their eligibility. Football is a violent game and careers can end in the blink of an eye. Tomorrow is promised to no one. In January of ‘09 Bradford was coming off a record-setting season in which he won the Heisman Trophy and was being projected as the likely #1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. He was the “It” guy and had all of the momentum in the world. However, instead of striking while the iron was hot and cashing in his lottery ticket Bradford decided to stick around Norman for another year, even though he was losing 80% of his offensive line and his top two wide receivers. Sure enough in the Sooners first game a blitzer came free up the middle and drove him into the ground, leaving the franchise signal caller rolling around the field in pain. In that instant his chances of winning another Heisman and / or leading his team to a National Championship went up in smoke and millions and millions of dollars were put in serious jeopardy.

    Here is video of the play where Bradford got hurt:

    Hopefully Bradford won’t suffer any long-term effects from the injury and will still go on to be the top pick in next year’s draft but that is now in doubt. Even if he does heal teams are still going to be concerned about Bradford’s durability and the health of his arm, which wasn’t exactly a cannon to begin with. Those are major question marks that he didn’t have nine months ago. For arguments sake let’s say Bradford falls from the #1 overall pick to #5, whether it be due to the shoulder or some other reason. As the top pick in last year’s draft Matthew Stafford got a contract that called for $41.7 million in guaranteed money while #5 pick Mark Sanchez got a deal worth $28 million guaranteed.

    That’s a difference of $13.7 million. Guaranteed!

    It seems as though everyone likes to get on their soapbox to preach about how guys should stay in school and as a college graduate I certainly don’t want to trivialize the value of an education. However, the main reason you go to college is to get a good job and if you ask me a gig that pays $41.7 million is a pretty good one. You can always go back to school. Heck, with $40 million you can practically buy a university! Anyone who counsels a kid to pass on that type of money is either giving awful advice or has some self-serving interest at heart.

    Remember how everyone, including USC Head Coach Pete Carroll, told Mark Sanchez that he should stay in school? Well, Sanchez didn't listen and now he has $30 million in the bank and is starting at quarterback for the New York Jets as a rookie. Something tells me Mark is felling pretty good about his decision. Meanwhile Sam Bradford is now, as one source so bluntly put it, "damaged goods". What about the big insurance policy that Bradford purchased? I don't have all of the details and don't claim to but in most cases those only pay out in the event of a catastrophic career-ending injury. They don't cover a player just slipping in the draft. In other words Bradford would have to medically never be able to play again in order to collect on the reported $3 million policy and if he can play but falls a dozen spots on Draft Day he is simply out of luck.

    As if that weren’t enough the Sooners have another top prospect who is facing a serious health issue as well. Jermaine Gresham, who might have been the first tight end selected in the 2009 NFL Draft had he gone pro after his junior campaign, injured his right knee in practice last week and is undergoing arthroscopic surgery to repair the damage. Depending on what doctors find during the procedure Gresham could miss anywhere from the next two weeks to the entire 2009 season. If the worst-case scenario plays out Gresham does have a redshirt year available to him but he would have an extremely difficult decision to make. Would he simply delay the start of his pro career yet another year or would he begin preparing for next April’s draft and hope he doesn’t fall too far after not playing for more than a year? The latter route sure didn't work out well for Florida's Cornelius Ingram, who fell all the way to the fifth round.

    Regardless of how Bradford and Gresham’s situations develop it’s hard to argue with the simple truth that both should have gone pro last year. In fact, I bet they are both thinking the same thing right about now. If nothing else hopefully their circumstances will serve as a lesson to other players who have little to gain but so much to lose by going back to college. It's not worth the risk.

• A new season of college football is upon us which means it is time to name my "Breakout Star of 2009". This is the guy who I think will not only explode onto the college scene but also emerge as a top pro prospect. The previous winners of this prestigious honor were Dwayne Jarrett of USC ('04), Chad Jackson of Florida ('05), Jonathan Stewart of Oregon ('06), DeMarco Murray of Oklahoma ('07) and Carlos Dunlap of Florida ('08). Now that is a pretty darned impressive track record if  I  do  say  so  myself!

    Penn State might be known as "Linebacker U" but lately Southern Cal is making a serious run for that title. The Trojan program has always done a good job of pumping out linebackers, from Junior Seau and Willie McGinest to Chris Claiborne and Lofa Tatupu, but the past few years they have really taken it to a whole new level. In the last three years alone USC has had eight linebackers drafted, including three first rounders. The Trojans have to replace a lot of talent this year with Brian Cushing, Rey Maualuga, Clay Matthews and Kaluka Maiava all now in the NFL but Chris Galippo is up to the task which is why he is my choice for  " Breakout Star of 2009 " .

    One of the nation's premier recruits coming out of high school in 2007, Galippo ended his prep career on a high note by taking home Game MVP honors at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Galippo had his choice of college programs but the California product opted to stay close to home and attend Southern Cal, even though there wasn't exactly a clear path to the starting lineup. Galippo saw action in three games as a true freshman in 2007, working as a backup and special teamer before having his season ended prematurely by a herniated disk in his back that ultimately required surgery. After missing some action early in the season while he was recuperating Galippo returned to the field and saw extensive action as a backup middle linebacker in 2008, logging 12 tackles, 2.0 tackles for a loss and 1 interception in 10 games. Now a redshirt sophomore with three years of eligibility remaining, Galippo is finally getting an opportunity to step  into  the starting lineup and make his mark  for the Trojans.

    Checking in at a rock-solid 6-2 and 255 pounds, Galippo isn't a speed demon but he reportedly possessed 4.6 speed coming out of high school and is an above-average athlete. A strong, physical player with a non-stop motor and great instincts, Galippo is a prototypical MIKE 'backer and assuming there aren't any further issues with his back he should help carry on the Trojan's proud tradition. As far as the pro scouts are concerned Galippo is already considered to be one of the top linebackers in his class and while it's too soon to label him a future  first  rounder that is definitely within the realm of possibility.

    As always I like to give a shout out to the runner-up and this time around it was Tennessee RB Bryce Brown. A true freshman who Rivals.com rated as the #1 overall recruit in the country, Brown's recruitment was highly-publicized and controversial at times but that is over and now he is ready to start living up to the hype. The Vols have some talent in the backfield but the 6-0, 215 pound Brown has already been named a co-starter and it seems like just a matter of time until he is carrying the load in Knoxville. Keep an  eye  on  this  future star.

    Be sure to remember the names of Chris Galippo and Bryce Brown because even though they may not be household names  just  yet  they will be very soon.
