Fasano had shoulder surgery and is said to possibly be ready for training camp. Does anyone know what he had surgery on?
I am curious about the Ayodele part. I am wondering if this is another clear indication that Taylor will be playing elsewhere????

21 reps. There is a concern that he is "softer" than the other top LOT prospects.
Also, while his 5.07 forty was very impressive, his 10-yard split (1.87) was not.

Trade Roy Williams to Dallas for #28 to pick Henne.

Apr 26 2008, 12:09:30 PM
i think tho it would include more picks because from what i was hearing they wanted more than just a 1st rd pick for roy
KleShreen

The point is that I wouldn't trade a box of cracker jacks to go up and get Chad Henne. I'd rather have Colt Brennan or Andre Woodson in the 6th/7th round than get Chad Henne and a 4th round pick from Dallas.

Why are they so interested in Henne? Why not Flacco or Brohm? I really don't think this will happen, the trade could but not so sure about the Henne part.

Just heard the Ravens are working hard to move up to the 2nd spot to get Ryan. Not sure what working hard meant.

Also you got to think Flacco from Deleware has to deal with a lot better competition in the nfl
and Brohm you have to worry about injuries and durablilty problems

Atlanta should get on the phone and take that deal. Then the Ravens could have Ryan at 3 and pay less.

Yeah, moving Roy Williams is a mistake on the Lions' part, and I wouldn't do it for anything less than a top 20 pick. Now, if the Lions can land Mendenhall and Mayo or Chris Williams for trading Roy Williams, then I'm onboard. But not for Henne.

Suggs might be a piece to move up with 8 for number 2 for Ryan due to SUggs might be a FA after this year if not resigned

Mendenhall would be just as much of a waste of a draft pick.
Kevin Jones was more talented coming out of college than Mendenhall is, and Jones couldn't get anything going with the Lions. The only consistent in the Lions terribleness over the last six seasons is the offensive line, and no matter who they have back there, they're going to do bad. If the Lions take Mendenhall over Talib, Rodgers-Cromartie, Branden Albert, Chris Williams, Ryan Clady, etc. I'll be livid.

Wasn't there a similar rumor a couple years ago about McNeal OT for SD -- may have miss- spelled that.
