Arizona Cardinals: Team Needs Rookie Review On The Clock Insider Podcast

2011 NFL Draft

• QB – There’s no denying the Cardinals had a serious drop off in quarterback production in 2010. Arizona possesses one of the best playmakers in the league in Larry Fitzgerald but he needs to be paired with an elite passer who can maximize his potential and bring balance to the offense.  While the Cardinals have some backup type passers in Max Hall and John Skelton, they need the quarterback of the future and will likely address the glaring need in the draft as well as free agency.

• OG – The Cardinals have a solid tackle in Levi Brown but not much outside of him, as Jeremy Bridges is more of a swing tackle and the rest of Arizona’s starting line might be leaving town.  Alan Faneca, Deuce Lutui,

Atlanata Falcons: Team Needs Rookie Review On The Clock Insider Podcast

NFL Draft Class 2010

(1-19) Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri: The trash talking hit-and-run linebacker brought new energy to the defense and turned heads with his ability to play multiple positions. ‘Spoon did make his share of rookie miscues, such as getting caught out of position in pass coverage. He was also hampered by a knee injury for part of the season. The Missouri product’s speed and aggressiveness should be an asset for years to come. Grade: C+

(3-83) Corey Peters, DT, Kentucky: He started 14 games and was by far the biggest difference maker among Atlanta’s rookies. The Pittsburgh native held the point versus the run and gave blockers fits with his quick hand movement. Peters also played hard every down but wasn’t much of a pass-rusher. Outside of his standard bull

NFL Draft Class 2010

(1-26) Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee: “Dumpster Dan” started his NFL journey on the wrong foot by failing to keep his weight in check and wound up being benched as a result. He came on late in the year by making plays in goal-line situations. Williams has quick feet and solid anticipatory skills. He should be the full-time starter in 2011. Grade: C+

(2-47) Daryl Washington, ILB, TCU: He was in and out of the starting lineup, as he kept learning throughout the season. Washington used his speed, lateral agility and uncanny instincts to flow to the ball but there were also moments when he struggled to get off blocks. He brought a much-needed element of explosiveness to Arizona’s linebacker corps. The man is a keeper. Grade: B+

(3-88) Andre Roberts, WR, Citadel: Suffered more than his share of drops and fumbles but

Owners might look back and say Didn’t We Almost Have It All? Because although it’s been only weeks since players have been Locked Out, with owners telling them to Beat It. It seems like Five Years, so come on, Let’s Work Together, Under Pressure…like Dolly Parton, 9 to 5 to solve this labor issue.

Are both sides Out of Touch fighting over billions, because I Wanna Be A Billioniare also. But there’s just way too much Jive Talkin’ and Bad Blood lately for my liking. I can hear the echoes in my head of The Captain and Tennille saying Love Will Keep Us Together. Not in this case.

Hey Ya! Pick Up the Pieces and be Together Again. It’s Now or Never, there has been too much (Hey
