NFL Draft expert QWell, it’s finally here. After months of bench presses, Wonderlic tests, and anonymous sources, all that’s left is to actually call the names, and on Thursday night, the NFL Draft officially gets underway at Radio City Music Hall. There’s certainly no shortage of mock drafts, scouting reports, and late breaking news to sort through, and we encourage everyone to head to our NFL Hub for all the latest draft info.But before the green room madness gets underway, we wanted to get some perspective from FOX’s NFL crew that goes beyond your average draft breakdown. How did we get here, how can we make it better, and how does the NFL’s player evaluation machinery really work behind the scenes?Every year, it appears like the big business of the NFL draft continues to grow and grow. We have more prognostications, more mock drafts, more reporting than ever before. But is the league actually any better at evaluating a prospect than it was 10, 20 years ago?Schrager: I think the league is better now than it was then. Take a look at the 2011 NFL Draft. The top 15. It’s a masterpiece. Outside of Jacksonville, Tennessee , and Minnesota, who reached on quarterbacks, those picks were all home runs. I have no problem with any of the top 10 picks in last year’s draft, and still feel Tavon Austin could be the best of the bunch. There’s been two Derek Carr Black Jersey major things that have helped the NFL scouting process the most. One is access to game tape and film. Technology is so incredible now that teams can see seemingly every snap a player’s taken. Access to that film is far easier now than it was even three or four years ago. For teams, it saves a lot of time and frustration. Much is made of coaches for team X and team Y not attending player Z’s Pro Day. They don’t have to. They’ll see it on tape from their desk that night. For reporters, on a far less detailed level, it makes things much easier too. When scouts or sources say something, there’s a proof point the film where it can be seen.Fujita: I don’t think the evaluation process is any better now than it was 20 years ago, simply because this is not an exact science, and it never will be. There’s certainly a lot more money being poured into the process. There are more scouts appearing at college workouts and there are more pre draft player evaluation reports being written up. How much of all this is useful? I don’t know. But there’s a whole lot of busy work being done, because everyone needs to (try to) justify why they have the job they do.Ayanbadejo: I would have to say the NFL is better than ever at evaluating talent. Not only do they turn over more stones, employ more scouts, they also dedicate more time in developing young talent with rookie mini camps and rookie extended practice periods. There are no longer double digit rounds in the draft, with the late rounders being known as camp meat and not having the opportunity to even step on the field as anything other than a scout. I truly believe every scout is like a stock broker looking for the penny stock that is going to be the next apple.What are, in your mind, the biggest strengths, and the biggest flaws in the way the NFL and its teams choose to evaluate college players?Ayanbadejo: The biggest strength the NFL has is college game film and the quality of that game film so you can really see an evaluate talent. The eye in the sky don’t lie! The biggest flaw in evaluating talent is the over emphasis on 40 times and combine/pro day performances. If they guy can ball in a game, what he does when a coach is pursuing him with a broom in a pro day is nonsense.Schrager: The biggest strength is the level of sophistication of the scouting and the interaction teams have with the kids. Combine interviews, campus visits, team visits, dinners, pro days they all add up. You can have a real feel for your investment. And there’s enough time to get to know multiple players. The biggest flaw is the pressure to nail that first round pick. It’s a matter of the high pressure environment that is the NFL but the pressure on a coach, GM, and first round player to succeed is enormous. Failure to live up to expectations can ultimately cost all three their respective jobs.We’ve seen firsthand how new statistical methods and tools have changed the ways in which people think about the game of football. Are there any ways in which modern statistics and evaluations have changed the pre draft process?Ayanbadejo: Every NFL team is now hiring an analytics expert. Not only do they run studies on other team’s tendencies, these same analytic experts run studies on their own team. For example, in Baltimore, the Ravens ran a study on each player’s durability and the correlation of missed days in training equating to injuries and games missed during the season. If a given player missed more than three days of practice in training camp due to injury they were prone to miss at least one game in the season. I would imagine analytical studies have also been done correlating missed games or practice in college to longevity and durability in the NFL, a game in which players are obviously bigger, faster, and stronger. These studies could be the difference in a team selecting player A or player B if all other tangibles are equal.Schrager: I don’t put nearly as much stock in these new statistical methods as other media outlets have. Teams don’t either. I know it’s an industry that has its supporters (the Sloan Conference at MIT had record numbers of attendees this year) and there’s been examples of great success in MLB and NBA front offices, but I do not see it as widely used in NFL front offices as its made out to be by media. I also don’t think football is a sport that lends itself to such high level statistical analysis as baseball and basketball. Every play is so different. Baseball is batter vs pitcher and there’s an incredible sample size. I’ve seen stat blogs or popular Twitter handles try to diagnose certain players based on advanced statistics. You go check the film and a quarterback throws an interception, but it wasn’t because of his receiver or because he can’t throw in third down situations. It was because the right guard had been beaten the last three plays and over compensated on the fourth and missed wildly, causing the quarterback to throw it away. Numbers can help and I know they’ve invested a lot of money and resources in both Jacksonville and Chicago into developing advanced methods, but I also know it’s an uphill battle. And it’s not a "Moneyball" situation where there are old stodgy men resisting change. Most in the NFL embrace any and all tiny ways they can get a competitive advantage. It’s just such a hard sport to boil down to numbers. It’s 11 on 11 with infinite variables. I like a few of the blogs and Twitter handles that focus on it (Pro Football Focus does great work), find others somewhat arrogant and condescending towards the establishment, and also don’t see teams hiring entire "stat" departments like I do in baseball and basketball.We know just how important a successful quarterback, pass rusher, or left tackle is to a football team. We also know how costly it can be to "miss" on an early first round pick. In your estimation, have the high stakes of the draft led teams to be more risk averse?Schrager: I think so. Certain teams take risks more than others. Other coaches and GMS do not. I think you’ll see a lot more risks www.officialfootballjaguars.com/Nike-Blake-Bortles-Jersey.html being taken by first year GMS and coaches and long time established GMS and coaches than everyone in between.Fujita: Given the way the current CBA severely limits what early first round picks will make, I would argue that it’s become much easier for teams to "miss" on those picks. Obviously no one wants to look like they failed in the evaluation of a player. That can be an embarrassment to an organization. But from a strictly financial perspective, teams aren’t tied to young players like they once were. And if I’m a coach or a club decision maker, I love this. Not only are there no windfall contracts for someone who’s never played a down of pro football (making it easier for me to move on from that player if he fails to perform), but that also allows me to play the best players on my team, regardless of draft status. Prior to the current CBA, how often did you see teams remain committed to playing a top draft pick long after the rest of the world knew he was a bust? All the time. And every week they would invent new reasons to explain why they were sticking with said player. Or commenting on how he "had a great week of practice and is showing improvement," week after week after week. Teams don’t have to do that like they used to. If a guy flops, you take a small loss and you move on. And it doesn’t have to set teams back a few years like it once did.At the end of the college football season, Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater seemed, fairly unanimously, to be considered one of the top QBs available in the draft. Fast forward to today, and despite no additional games being played, Bridgewater is seen by many to be slipping out of the first round completely, due to perceived lackluster performances at the combine and at his pro day. What is the right balance when it comes to evaluating a player based on his college career, versus his measurable and workout performances?Fujita: I think there’s far too much obsession with media reports about how a player performed at the Combine, or at his pro day, or what his Wonderlic score was, or how wide his hand is, or how he looks in just his gym shorts, or how much weed some guy smoked in college. I really hope individual club decision makers wear earmuffs and blinders and block out all the media driven garbage. Hopefully, teams have enough confidence to trust themselves through the evaluation process. And I say that because there’s no "right" way to evaluate a player. But I sure wouldn’t trust someone else’s evaluation, especially if that evaluation is media generated. For someone like Teddy Bridgewater, who’s performed at a high level against strong competition, I would trust what I’ve seen on film, in actual games. I would pay very little attention to a pro day. But there are other cases where a player may have been in the wrong system in college and his skills weren’t properly utilized. This is where I would use individual workouts to see if I can simulate the kinds of things I’m going to expect him to do, to determine if he may be the right fit for our team. And then there are guys who maybe didn’t play for a very strong team or perhaps don’t have a lot of hype, but come out and absolutely "wow" you with their measurables. Or perhaps they have an unparalleled motor relative to other players at their position in that particular draft class. Guys in this category deserve a look to, because in many respects, they might be hungrier than a lot of other players. And if a player has the measurables, then there’s a chance not a guarantee that you can work with him and make him fit your scheme.Schrager: A few pundits anointed Teddy Bridgewater the No. 1 quarterback last May. They did the same with Matt Barkley, Jimmy Clausen, Matt Leinart, Andre Woodson, and plenty more in recent years. That comes from some film study, conversations, and educated guesses. It’s not in these pundits’ best interests to switch course too often. That leads to stubbornness. "Once a first round pick; always a first round pick" is not a great mantra to go by when trying to share information and educate readers. But when teams watch the film and you’re hearing time and time again, "Hands too small."."Botched his Pro Day, how’s he going to perform in a big game?" you’ve got to be flexible. You’ve got to listen to these voices at teams and react accordingly. I talk to a lot of guys in the league. They don’t necessarily dislike Bridgewater as a prospect, but none see him as the top overall pick.Ayanbadejo: Even though Bridgewater had lackluster work outs for NFL scouts and coaches, I think the one on one evaluation is what really hurt Teddy. Not only did he perform badly, during his interviews they were not impressed with his intangibles, whereas with Johnny Manziel he not only performed great but he also wowed the coaches and scouts with his personality, charisma, and spunk. If you are going to spend a lot of money on someone not only do you want them to be able to perform under the lights you also want to enjoy yourself around them. More than ever NFL teams are looking at team chemistry and how the personalities of players can affect that chemistry, and how their behavior reflects upon the organizations as well.Whether it is Bridgewater, or any other high profile prospect, opinion and sentiment from teams around the league often seems to shift with the changing direction of the wind. Do teams have too much time to evaluate and collect information before the draft, and does it lead to paralysis by analysis?Schrager: It’s paralysis by analysis, yes. But you’ve got to realize how much is riding on these decisions. A good draft can set you up for the next five years (see Seattle’s 2012 draft). A bad one can set you back five years (see Cleveland’s 2012 draft). If you’re looking at a menu at a nice restaurant for 20 minutes, you might change your order once or twice. If you’ve got five months, you might switch your order 20 times. Setting the big board is the most important thing in a team’s process and it usually isn’t officially set until the very start of the draft. And even then, it can change. Teams just want to get those picks right. Easier said than done. By April, teams are ready. By May, it Johnny Manziel Limited Jersey seems like teams just want to be preparing for Week 1.Ayanbadejo: Both the combine, pro days and draft all take place between April and May. The scouts already evaluate live games and game tape throughout the entire season. Every NFL team has pro scouts that scout the NFL only and college scouts that scout NCAA only. College scouts are littered all over the country so they can cover as many schools as possible in their area. They attend practices, games, and often converse with position and head coaches trying to learn as much about the players as they can. With that much data being aggregated I am still surprised on how teams can make such bad human capital decisions. The more information an organization has on a player you think it would allow the cream to rise, so you know every player you are going to select if your preferred players come off the board or are still available.If you could Derek Carr Authentic Jersey make one change, one reform to the NFL’s system of evaluating future talent, leading up to the draft, what would it be?Fujita: I would have position coaches and current players on each team more involved in the decision making process. Sometimes I think teams rely too heavily on scouting reports, and too often, football decisions are made by non football people. A position coach knows what his players are being asked to do in their offensive or defensive scheme. So he should probably have some input on the players he’s going to coach. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a coach tell me on the first day of practice that he literally knows nothing about one or more of his new players. "They just bring guys in and expect me to coach ’em" is what one Linebacker coach once told me. And why not include veteran players in the evaluation process? If I’m a quarterback, I want to be involved in evaluating the receivers I might be throwing to. If I’m a running back, I want to see how an offensive line prospect engages at the point of attack. And if I’m a linebacker, I won’t to see how the quickly the defensive lineman in front of me can get off the ball or how often he lines up correctly. These things matter, and players know players.Ayanbadejo: If I could make one change to the current system it would be pushing the combine to April. Pushing the combine back would serve two purposes. One, it would give players on teams that played late bowl games more time to heal and prep for the combine. It would also cut down on the lead time of the draft, and reduce the merry go round of rumors and trends so that we can focus more on facts about players and teams’ drafting strategies, not tabloids.Schrager: Teams want to have info out there that’ll help them. Agents like having info out there that makes it seem like their clients are generating a lot of interest. Reporters need to do their best to trust their sources and not report whatever an agent or team source tells them. With the extra three weeks of draft buildup, there seems to be even more stuff being thrown against the wall. Some reporters really begrudge this. You can’t. It’s just feeding the beast. Fans love it.Fujita: I would consider it damn near impossible to sift through the smoke and mirrors of pre draft gossip. Consider former Auburn RB Tre Mason, for instance. Reports surfaced last month that Combine physicals showed a problem in his wrist that would require surgery. Mason publicly disputed this report. Then the reporter who broke the story decided to get into war of words with the player to defend his report. This is absurd on so many levels, clearly. But perhaps Mason does have a significant problem with his Johnny Manziel Authentic Jersey wrist. Perhaps only one or two teams think it’s an issue. And perhaps the rest of the league thinks it’s no big deal. No matter what the situation is, it’s none of our damn business. Individual clubs and their medical staffs have every right to evaluate a patient (yes, they’re patients first) and make decisions accordingly, but privately. So if you’re a reporter who’s been given information like this, which by all standards should remain private under HIPAA laws, then you should ask yourself (or your "sources") why you’re being spoon fed this intel. Smoke and mirrors? Absolutely.

How Do Different Sports Stack Up
How do different sports stack up?
You already know that exercise is good for you, but are some sports better at keeping the grim reaper at bay?
One of the most significant scientific studies focused on the question came out of Scandinavia in 1993. Researchers divided 2,613 elite male Finnish Wholesale Jerseys Outlet athletes into three groups endurance athletes (long distance runners and cross country skiers, for example), and power athletes (boxers, wrestlers, weight lifters) and a mixed group of team athletes (like soccer, ice hockey or basketball players) and sprinters. The researchers then compared those male athletes to 1,712 Finnish men who were not competitive athletes. The power athletes lived an average of 1.6 years longer than nonathletes, team athletes lived four years longer and endurance athletes lived 5.7 years longer [source: Sarna et al.].
Let’s consider what sets endurance sports apart. The American Medical Association published a study in 2001, looking at VO2 max, the maximum amount of oxygen a particular body can take in during exercise. Sports requiring a high VO2 max make you breathe the hardest such as running or biking as your body tries to get precious oxygen to your muscles. The study showed elite athletes had a lower chance of dying at a given wholesale jerseys age than nonathletes, but how much lower depended on VO2 max. Endurance athletes had a 43 percent lower chance of dying at a given age than nonathletes. Team athletes had 33 percent less risk, while power athletes whose sports don’t require a high VO2 max, only got a 10 percent protection [source: Kujala et al.].
These studies don’t cover every angle, though. Scientists gathered information about the cause of death and age of each participant, but they didn’t consider what the men had done after they stopped competing in sports. Competitive athletes are generally young the average age of NFL players is 27 [source: Sando]. Studies have shown that staying active throughout your entire life is a very big deal when it comes to your health, so the math geek who takes up running after college and keeps at it wholesale nfl jerseys will probably live longer than the football hero who hangs up his cleats and hits the recliner once his glory days are over [source: Paffenbarger].
Don’t count team sports and resistance training out, either. They may not boost longevity quite as much as endurance sports, but they are an important part of the picture. Team sports can teach youth about discipline, camaraderie and sportsmanship, and are a healthy way to bond with friends. Resistance training helps prevent muscle wasting that happens with aging and reduces strength, coordination and quality of life during a person’s cheap nfl jerseys golden years [source: Johnston et al.]. Resistance training also strengthens bones for a healthy life [source: Kravitz]. Cross training helps prevent overuse. Varying your workout will keep you from getting bored and let you tap into the unique benefits of different types of exercise.

For a Southern California auto shop owner, a box of rifle parts and a set of online instructions on how to assemble an AK 47 added up to six years in prison for attempted possession and manufacture of an assault weapon.As a state appeals court put it in upholding ’s convictions, "Beware of the dangers of the Internet."Nguyen’s case underscores the relative strictness of California’s gun laws, which prohibit attempts to make or own a weapon that is legal in most states and is advertised, along with assembly instructions, on the Internet.Orange County detectives looking for stolen vehicles visited Nguyen’s auto shop in March 2010 and, before searching, asked him a routine question about whether he had any firearms. He said he had a hunting rifle and was building an AK 47, the court said.A detective said Nguyen showed him a box of parts for the semiautomatic rifle and a receiver he had prepared for assembly, then pulled up an instructional website on his computer screen. Officers determined that he had all the parts for a working AK 47, the court said.Nguyen, who had a previous felony conviction, pleaded guilty to illegal possession of a gun and ammunition by a felon and was convicted in a jury trial of attempted possession and manufacture of the banned firearm.In Nguyen’s appeal, a gun rights lawyer argued that California’s ban on rapid fire firearms, which prohibits "AK 47 series" rifles, applies only to weapons that are ready to fire and not to a collection of parts.But the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Santa Ana said Nguyen had obtained all the parts and directions and had already started to put them together when he was interrupted."Had the police not intervened, (Nguyen) would have completed the assembly and thereupon been in Jared Allen Youth Jersey possession of an ’assault weapon,’ " said in the 3 0 Jared Allen Kids Jersey ruling, issued Friday.

Willoughby Hills man’s Matt Forte Authentic Jersey foster daughter testifies in murder conspiracy trial
Sabrina Zunich testified June 5 that she stabbed Lisa Knoefel to death because she was www.nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Jared-Allen-Jersey.html afraid her foster father lover would commit suicide.
Kevin started breaking down crying in the car, saying he just couldn t take it anymore. He said, I m going to kill myself if she s not dead, Zunich said on the fourth day of Knoefel s murder conspiracy trial. I fell in love with him. He was going to commit suicide if she was not killed. I said, I ll do it.
Zunich, 19, said she stabbed Knoefel s 41 year old wife, Lisa, more than 178 times as she slept Nov. 16, 2012, so she could start a new life with Knoefel and the victim s $785,000 life insurance policies.
He told me we could have our own house, I could go to college and be a mother to Hailey (Knoefel s 3 year old daughter). I was overjoyed, Zunich testified.
Zunich, who has been in Lake County jail since the day of the homicide, said she was in love with Knoefel and that they had an active sex life.
Zunich said their morning routine consisted of her giving him oral sex as he drove her to South High School in Willoughby and even as she lie in a hospital bed with IVs in her arms after her appendix burst.
Zunich spoke in a monotone throughout most of her 5 hour testimony, but occasionally broke down crying.
She matter of factly described various plots with Knoefel to kill Lisa. First, a friend offered to hire a hitman. Then Knoefel suggested a gun, but Zunich said that made her nervous. So they decided on a kitchen knife, she testified.
I was manipulated to do it by Kevin, Zunich sobbed, adding that she cared for Lisa as a mother despite feeling the victim favored her biological daughters over her.
Zunich said she was hoping Lisa would die with just one cut, and was not counting on her putting up such a fight.
Lisa s 13 year old daughter tried to get Sabrina to stop stabbing her mother, and called 911.
Zunich who has bipolar disorder then cut her own neck and www.nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Robbie-Gould-Jersey.html leg to make herself look insane or like she acted in self defense.
Zunich admitted prosecutors agreed to recommend she be eligible for parole in 30 years if she testified against Knoefel and plead guilty to aggravated murder.
She treated you like a daughter, defense attorney Michael J. Connick said of the victim.
She treated me like an outsider. It made me feel sad, Zunich angrily retorted.
Connick asked Zunich if the voices she used to hear in her head told her to hurt people.
Zunich said she doesn t remember what they said.
She didn t tell police Knoefel helped her plot the murder or had sex with her until six months after the killing.
Zunich testified she still hopes to open a salon one day when she s released, and that Brandon Marshall Women Jersey she feels Knoefel should also go to prison.
Kevin never gave you any money on your (jail) commissary account and never visited you in jail, Connick said. You re angry with Mr. Knoefel, aren t you? You think he sold you down the river?
Zunich admitted she was disappointed.
Connick said there is no physical evidence linking Knoefel to the crime and that the state s case hinges on a known liar who stole from her own grandmother.
Zunich said she told at least two other girls she wanted to kill Lisa before she went through with it.
The Brandon Marshall Youth Jersey jury also got to see a taped interview of Knoefel talking to detectives after his arrest.
Knoefel told police he and his wife had fostered many other children, but none as old as Zunich.
We thought it would be easier, Knoefel is seen telling detectives. We didn t think there was going to be any downside with her.

What to expect from http://www.nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Brandon-Marshall-Jersey.html the Giants on Day 2
That’s what today’s " second and third rounds are for. Here’s a look at the positions Trumaine McBride Blue Jersey they will be considering:
TIGHT END: Jace Amaro, Austin Seferian Jenkins and Troy Niklas are still on the board and the Giants are hoping one might fall in their direction. Despite adding Kellen Davis in the offseason, the team still has plenty of needs in the pass catching department and adding a big target for Eli Manning will be key. The Giants were never enamored with Eric Ebron, the consensus top tight end in the draft and would prefer to develop 2012 fourth round pick Adrien Robinson, who has almost completely recovered from a leg injury to end the 2013 season. Fiedorowicz (Iowa), Troy Niklas (Notre Dame).
OFFENSIVE LINE: Signing Geoff Schwartz, Charles Brown and John Jerry is a good start, but the Giants are nowhere near finished when it comes to patching up their protection. Tom Coughlin will be on the lookout for a tackle/guard and center in the next few rounds. Walton, Chris Snee, Justin Pugh nflbearsofficial.com/Nike-Matt-Forte-Jersey.html and Schwartz.
Best options available: Xavier Su’a Filo (G, UCLA), Joel Bitonio (G/T, Nevada), Gabe Jackson (G, Mississippi State), Trai Turner, (G, LSU), Morgan Moses (T, Virginia), Jack Mewhort, (T, Ohio State), Cyrus Kouandjio (T, Alabama), Marcus Martin (C, USC), Weston Richburg (C, Colorado State) and Travis Swanson (C, Arkansas).
SAFETY: The Giants are stacked at safety, right? Maybe for 2014, but after this season there will be a massive overhaul behind Dominique Rodgers Cromartie and Prince Amukamara. Cooper Taylor will be the only one technically under contract, and, at 32, Antrel Rolle will be looking for a new deal. Stevie Brown is coming off an ACL tear. With a constant stream of off field issues, Will Hill is less dependable than a second round pick, anyway. Getting someone under contract to play with Taylor will be key, and there are a few nice options still left on the board.
Best options available: Terrence Brooks (FS, Trumaine McBride Kids Jersey Florida State), Marqueston Huff (FS, Wyoming), Brock Vereen (SS, Minnesota)
DEFENSIVE TACKLE/END: Linval Joseph and Justin Tuck are gone. Markus Kuhn and Lance Briggs Jersey Johnathan Hankins are still developing. But after an interesting first round, there are still plenty of heavy hitters on the board that would be a great fit in Perry Fewell’s defense. "Big butts," as Fewell likes to call them, are a cornerstone of his system. Plus, are the Giants ready to count on Jason Pierre Paul, Mathias Kiwanuka and Damontre Moore to anchor this pass rush?
Best options available:: Louis Nix (DT, Notre Dame), Timmy Lance Briggs Kids Jersey Jernigan (DT, Florida State), RaShede Hageman (DT, Minnesota), Kony Ealy (DE, Missouri), Demarcus Lawrence (DE, Boise State).
