Desides
Perennial All-Pro
Yes, yes, "PFT is never right," "PFT is unreliable," nevermind that they were dead-on about Saban and they're citing someone else's news story. Anyway:
This is good for us, as it's very likely Cleveland will take him off the board. This means a player we could use (OT, CB, LB) drops a spot. Of course, if we can trade up, it's totally irrelevant, but a trade up is unlikely.
PETERSON TURNING PRO
Days after indignantly denying reports that he plans to pass on his final year of eligibility and enter the NFL draft, Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson is . . . passing on his final year of eligibility and entering the NFL draft.
We've talked to two scouts who have Peterson pegged as a top-eight pick. But, financially, there's a big difference between being in the top ten and being in the top three. Just ask Matt Leinart.
Peterson's final position will depend on the specific needs of the teams doing the drafting, and the performance of the candidates in the run-up to the draft. With a stellar workout, he easily could be a top-five pick.
Peterson broke his collarbone performing an unnecessary Madden dive into the end zone, at a time when he was the presumptive favorite to win the Heisman trophy.
