First Round NFL Mock Draft #2
With the NFL Combine out of the way (and reports on each position posted in the NFL Draft section) this mock draft incorporates changes based off performances or any other recent developments. Free agency opens up at midnight tonight and that will change everything, but I wanted to get a post-Combine mock out in advance of the frenzy. (more…)...

NFL Combine Reaction: Safeties
The big names at safety are the ones that primarily stood out at the combine. There was even added controversy as it came to the 40 time of Taylor Mays. The top three safeties all could find themselves chosen by the time the first round is up. (more…)...

NFL Combine Reaction: Cornerbacks
Widely regarded as the best corner in the draft Joe Haden did not have a good day. Better performances were turned in by players who enjoyed success at the Senior Bowl. Haden still will likely be considered the top cornerback but Kyle Wilson is nipping at his heels now. (more…)...

MLB 2K10 Hard Drive Evaluation
With MLB 2K10 in hand I have gone through and timed different loading areas when running off the disc compared to running off the hard drive on the 360. Installing to the hard drive not only has proven to cut down on load times, in some cases significantly, but it also reduces stress to the system and the noise it produces. For MLB 2K10 the actual install process took 10:50 which is the longest install time to date and has produced marginal improvements to loading times. (more…)...

NFL Combine Reaction: Defensive Line
The two big names at defensive tackle are widely considered as standouts and most sure things in the draft. Despite this one of them was even able to impress at the combine while the other fell a little behind in comparison. The defensive tackles and defensive ends were for the most part a very fast and athletic group. (more…)...

NFL Combine Reaction: Linebackers
The linebackers came across as a lot less flashy than the group at defensive end. Actually some of the defensive ends outdid the linebackers in their own drills. Brandon Graham tweaked a hamstring running the 40 and had to pull out of the drills after that. Two middle linebackers that scouts are really wanting to get a look at in Rolando McClain and Brandon Spikes have disappointingly pushed full assessments until their Pro Days. (more…)...

NFL Combine Reaction: Quarterbacks
Unfortunately the top quarterbacks decided to sit out of the combine. Whether it be due to recovering from injuries (Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Colt McCoy), changing throwing motion (Tim Tebow), or no reason but to avoid it (Dan LeFevour), it was a thin class on display. Tebow and LeFevour did run but neither threw. (more…)...

NFL Combine Reaction: Wide Receivers
Wide receiver is generally the position that takes the longest to transition and produce at a high level. There is also probably no bigger boom or bust position in the draft. Because of the different offensive systems ran the combine results tend to weigh more heavily for receivers than others. There were a handful of standouts but also a few big letdowns this year.
