>> I was in Puerto Rico for Draft Weekend, so I missed it.  And I didn’t get to see my normal load of college football this season, so I have few informed opinions about the Redskins’ picks.  But if I had watched, it’s a good thing I get NFL Network - it sounds like the ESPN coverage was just atrocious. Not that this should surprise anyone - Costas really should host his next town hall meeting on whether or not ESPN is ruining sports - but it’s clear that NFL Network really has gotten better when it comes to covering these big media events.  ESPN just puts their normal chemistry-lacking cast up to yell at each other in their Ron Jaworski-patented “I’m talking on Television” voices, while the NFLN actually talks about the draft picks for teams other than the Cowboys - and they’re funnier, too.  Well, maybe not funnier than Peyton Manning going nuts on his o-line.

>> The Scouts Inc folks have offered up their team grades for the past eight years of AFC and NFC first round draft picks.  The surprising part is how poorly most NFC teams have done - if I had to hand out a crown, it would be the Carolina Panthers.  Assuming DeAngelo Williams delivers, they won’t have missed on a first rounder since 2000.
