My ranking: AJ Green Justin Blackmon Julio Jones Michael Floyd Torrey Smith Jonathan Baldwin Leonard Hankerson Ryan Broyles Those are all 1st 2 round WRs, IMO. Hopefully somebody good falls to Oakland in the second round and the Raiders actually do the smart thing and take a WR. Depends on who the fastest receiver at the combine is.
I am in total agreement with Sagarin's ratings. Any other team in the NFC aside from Carolina would have won the NFC West this year. Any team in the AFC except maybe Denver and Cincy would have won the NFC West this year.
Just for fun, according to Sagarin points ratings, the four NFC West teams are the 27th, 28th, 30th and 31st best teams in the NFL. Only Denver and Carolina aren't better than all of them.
Really good win by Illini today, as the only thing that kept it close was the turnover differential. Great job by McCamey of getting to the line, and good job on Leuer, who had his worst game of the year offensively.

I hope that was the real defense at least. The defense is the defense. They played well and got beat, what, twice the whole game? Can't complain much about the game, really.
Indy wins on a last-second FG to earn the 3 seed and face the Jets. AFC playoffs: 1. New England - bye 2. Pittsburgh - bye 3. Indianapolis - 6 NY Jets 4. Kansas City - 5. Baltimore
Would've been fun to score and go for 2 there, but oh well. Cutler is alive, D played well, Hester and Knox played not to get hurt, and the game was still close.
Mostly because the play-calling has been ultra-conservative. Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass Pass I have no idea why they haven't used Forte, but the passing has been mostly short slants/dumps/screens.
the offensive line is playing fine, he's not getting rid of the ball On the last one there was no pocket. Three of the sacks have been on the line, one on the coverage.
