Early Mock
Here is a look at the first 5 picks in most mocks.

1. QB Matt Stafford, Georgia (JR) - Detroit going for a QB, poor kid the Lions will ruin him, you can be sure. They should focus on their lines and build a run game first.

2 OT, Jason Smith, Baylor Smith - The Rams can build their future around a guy like Smith, he can protect the QB and will help out on the run for RB Stephen Jackson. Will help right away.

3 LB, Aaron Curry, Wake Forest - KC has a ton of voids on D and Curry can help right away, has good ability against the pass.
4 DE/OLB, Brian Orakpo - A pass rush guy, seems like a position that has been a bust more often than not in the NFL. The Seahawks need some attitude on D, could help immediately.
5 WR, Michael Crabtree - The Browns need to replace some talent at the receiver position.

Police won't confirm Stallworth DUI reports
Miami police won't confirm a local television report that says Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth was legally drunk when a car he was driving hit and killed a man last Saturday.

'We have not released anything regarding the blood work,' said Jenny Velazquez, a Miami Beach police spokeswoman to the Miami Herald. "We're not confirming anything.'

An absolutely tragic story for all involved, speculation on what could happen to Stallworth....If the blood alcohol level is over leagal limits police could file a felony charge against Stallworth which could give him prison time of up to 15 years, though most feel that time would be considerably less. All in all he could very likely be done in the NFL.

2008 All-Sleeper Team
Throughout the season we have been projecting the players who would break out during each given week. The selections both boomed and busted, but here’s a look back at which players put together the most surprising seasons in 2008.

QB: Kurt Warner – Projected to be a backup for Leinart when the season began, Warner is easily the best sleeper at quarterback for this season.

RB: DeAngelo Williams – Before the season, he was going to split time with rookie Jonathon Stewart. With over 1300 yards and 18 touchdowns thus far, he has turned heads each week through the season.

RB: Michael Turner – The Falcons were supposed to have no offense in 2008. With a rookie quarterback and backup RB leading the way and Jerious Norwood supposedly stealing touches, how many experts predicted a 1500 yard, 16 touchdown season for Turner?

WR: Antonio Bryant – A WR2 in a run-happy offense usually doesn’t yield much results, but Bryant was able to parlay that preseason title into the 9th best WR, posting nearly 1200 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns.

WR: Kevin Walter – Matt Schaub’s 2nd favorite target was the 14th best WR this season. With 899 yards and 8 touchdowns, Walter finally gave the Texans a complement to AJ.

WR: Lance Moore – Colston’s injury paved the way for a career year for Moore who was the 19th best WR thanks to his 800 receiving yards and (more importantly) 8 touchdowns.

TE: Visanthe Shiancoe – An unknown for most of the season, Shiancoe got looks in the end zone each week. His touchdown efficiency made him the 5th best tight end this season after a 582 yard, 7 touchdown performance.

K: Jason Elam – A Broncos castoff and 38-year-old, Elam showed us he’s still got it. His 93% field goal percentage and 38 extra points gave him the 5th best season for a kicker this year.

DEF: New York Jets – The usual suspects completed the top five (Ravens, Steelers, Bucs, Titans, Eagles), but sitting comfortably at #6 was the New York Jets. While not dominant in any particular facet (their only top 5 finish was 5th in defensive touchdowns), the Jets were strong across the board.

Week 16 Sleeper Team
It’s Week 16 and for most readers, that means this is the last week that really matters. Last week we struggled picking out players worthy of playoff startability, but rookie tight end stud John Carlson put together a strong performance as the 5th best tight end last week. Here’s a closer look at our other predictions as well as our predictions for our final installment of the Sleeper Team.

Last week: Campbell (QB15), Ward (RB39), Bell (RB46), Bess (WR75), Muhammad (WR41), Floyd (WR13), Carlson (TE5), Longwell (K24), Colts (DEF28)

QB: Pennington (NYJ)
RB: Thomas (NOS)
RB: Morris (NEP)
WR: Avery (STL)
WR: Bruce (SFF)
WR: Walter (HOU)
TE: Keller (NYJ)
K: Hartley (NOS)
DEF: Dolphins (MIA)

**TRIVIA QUESTION: With the MVP voting just around the corner, Kurt Warner, Peyton Manning, Adrian Peterson, and James Harrison lead the pack. However, when was the last time a defensive player won the award?

Last week’s answer: Dallas Texans (1952)
