2010 NFL Draft scouting profiles: Running backs (part two)

We’ve covered three of the top backs in the 2010 draft already. But in a running back-heavy draft such as this one, there are obviously many more to get to.

So, what do you say we get to a few more right now? Does that sound good to you?

OBOD Mock Draft: The sequel

Now that we are roughly 12 days into free agency, it seemed like the perfect time to run an updated mock draft.

(Plus, as you likely know, we LOVE doing mock drafts.)

Most of the “big fish” free agents have signed their respective deals and, as a result, some teams’ draft plans have changed. Our new mock has [...]

First OBOD mock draft of 2010! Hooray!!

Well, it’s time.

Seriously, fellas, you need to stop. You’re killing all of us.

Soon, Super Bowl XLIV will be upon us, with the Indianapolis Colts [...]

Hawk’s unproductive time in Green Bay could be coming to a close

I had it all planned out. I was going to write my usual Wednesday mid-week report this afternoon. It was going to be great.

Grading Ted Thompson's drafts: 2006 edition

This is the second in our weekly series evaluating Ted Thompson’s four drafts leading up to this month’s Annual Selection Meeting.

The Scene: Packers fans hadn’t gotten used to picking this high (fifth overall) in quite a few years. That, of course, is a nice way of saying we weren’t used to coming off a year [...]
