Happy Easter! At this point, we’re just waiting for the draft

Kiper Bunny is coming to town

Early April is generally a pretty slow time for NFL news.  There have been a few minor moves and signings, and we had our annual player caught with gun story, but in general, things like the Final Four, MLB opening day, Easter with family (and for some of us, reruns of Hard Knocks on Hulu) are  more interesting this time of year.  And at this point, everyone is really gearing up for the draft, which is less than 3 weeks away.

There are mocks-O-plenty as prognosticators pretend to have a clue as to how the draft (in its new 3-day format) is going to play out.  Meanwhile, teams fine-tune their value boards and conduct background checks on their top prospects. We’ve heard plenty of reports from pro days of the top college players, but sorry, we simply refuse to write about Tim Tebow before he actually does something in the NFL. He gets plenty of ink already.

So, before we head out to round up eggs and candy from the neighborhood kids, we’ll leave you with a few links from the past week:

• 8 USA Today analysts provide their 1st round mock drafts
• According to ProFootballTalk, everyone in the NFL hates Todd McShay
• Giving a little love to the unsung soldiers. The New York Times lists the best Right Guards in the league.
• Washington Redskins Chris Cooley and Fred Davis appeared at intermission of an NHL game this week.  And raced each other.  On tricycles.  Poor sportsmanship ensued.  Here’s the video, from Gunaxin:

Happy sunday!
