Don't forget about Chase Coffman during the NFL Draft...
When I watch Missouri tight end Chase Coffman, I see a mega-talent.
I see stiff-arming power, I see leapfrogging athleticism, and I see red zone prowess. I see a 6-foot-6 ball-hawk with hands, balance and body control.

The Detroit Lions and the No. 1 Pick: The Detroit Lions are on the clock, and there’s rampant speculation on who they will take. Based on my limited knowledge as I’m not involved in draft coverage like I used to be, I’m not too impressed with the quarterbacks coming out this year, unlike the media and fanboys out there. Oops, fangirls too! I’m talking about Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford. I’m not implying they will fail; it’s more about what they will cost!

In fact, in recent years, and I say “recent,” meaning outside Carson Palmer, USC quarterbacks have not done so well. Before you point to Matt Cassel, he was a project and not a high draft pick, and it took him a few years, during which he fought off replacements before showing results. Want more? Keep reading…

Jeff Gordon has six career victories at Talladega

Daytona International Speedway is the only other track that uses restrictor plates – also consider a driver’s history there when evaluating who to start this week. Want more? Keep reading…
