The 2010 NFL Supplemental Draft will be held on July 15th.

For those of you who don't know what is, it's a chance for prospects who either weren't eligible for the 2010 Draft or are ineligible for the 2011 season to still be "selected" into the NFL by way of a draft.

For the "draft", teams bid on players using draft picks. The team that bids the highest pick for a player "drafts" the player, and forfiets that round selection in the following year draft (tiebreakers are determined by previous year draft order).

In past years we've seen players like Paul Oliver, possible starting safety for the Chargers, and Jared Gaither, starting left tackle for the Ravens, get selected in this private draft and make huge impacts.

When Albert Haynesworth was just a few days to becoming a free agent after his dominating 2008 season with the Tennessee Titans, it wasn’t a matter of how much, but how long.

Haynesworth signed just hours after the midnight deadline, and chose to go to Washington and be the staple of one of the already solid defenses in the league.

A nose tackle with the ability to be an effective pass rusher in one on one’s and cause confusion and double teams on every play he’s in the game, Haynesworth was a rare talent that a big spender like Daniel Snyder just couldn’t pass up.

When Tim Tebow first came on the scene in the national football world, he was a super-hyped freshman with one of the most unique skill sets for a quarterback the football world had ever seen.

In Tim Tebow's first college season, he had only two games with more than three pass attempts, and a total of five touchdowns and one interception. With Chris Leak at the helm, his passing skills weren't too necessary for the BCS champion Gators.

But Tebow still found a way to impact the game at quarterback without even throuwing the ball.

Tebow averaged just over six rushes a game as a freshman, and scored a rushing touchdown in his first career rush attempt and six more over the course of the season, including one in the BCS title game over Ohio State.

Why are his fresman stats relevant to his present stance on the Denver Broncos depth chart?

Every NFL off-season, usually after the initial punch of free agency finally settles and draft time really becomes the focal point of ESPN and NFL franchises alike, teams “let slip” (more likely release) little snippets about their “real” draft boards to the media.

In my past dealings, I’ve learned to put more credence in how a player fits into a scheme than what a team personnel person said about his spot in the GM’s eyes. 

The draft smokes screening has become commonplace in most NFL organizations, but someone forgot to tell new Browns President Mike Holmgren that. We’ll break down all of his most recent quotes about his plans to take a quarterback in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Well the moves started early and often.  By the end of Saturday night, the vast majority of free agents were signed and smiling about their new contracts.  Some teams that we thought would make a splash stayed rather docile, while other teams we said would go nuts, well, went nuts.

When it comes to the Raiders QB competition you keep hearing that Bruce Gradkowski has the heart to be the starting QB. You also hear that JaMarcus Russell lacks heart, and the work ethic, and the ability to read defenses.

Sometimes I wonder what the definition of having heart really means, and why people like to say that Russell lacks heart. From what I have seen the last three years, Russell has shown that he has more heart than he is given credit for.

With the 2009 season in the books, and the Free Agency market set to open up on Friday, this year's selections of free agents are going to make the 2010 season an interesting one to say the least. 

The elimination of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and no actual salary cap on teams will show which teams are trying to win right now and which are trying to build for the future.  There are gonna be some guys who will come in and make an immediate impact, and then of course you'll have the guys who get signed and disappear into the roster. 

Here's an idea of who you can expect to see make a big impact, and who will just keep the seat warm.

As the free agency period approaches on an uncapped 2010 season, a lot of questions still surround some impact players across the league.  With no salary cap set in place this year, there is potential to see some teams go on a spending spree and try to make the jump from pretender to contender in just one year.  Let’s take a look at some of the big questions around the league.

With the Super Bowl only a few days away, I thought I’d take the Super Bowl hype for a little 2010 NFL Draft spin. 

We’ll take a look at some Super Bowl starters that remind me of some current NFL prospects. Guys like Pierre Garcon have their Division III counterparts, while stars like Reggie Bush have their clones as well.

So, let’s take a look at hour some Super Bowl XLVI compare to some NFL prospects.

Three things are constant every December. The thirty-one day countdown to the New Year begins, the Holiday season engulfs our minds and wallets, and the Cowboys will find a way to go from a Super Bowl contender to a playoff maybe. While the common stat of "the Cowboys haven't had a winning record in December since 2000" just doesn't do enough justice for how bad the Cowboys really are in this final month of the year.
