I'm not going to ERIC WEINBERGER: Thanks, Pat. make a speech or anything. We'll open it up for We're so excited for this time of year here at the questions. I feel like I've been on these guys for network as we get to celebrate one of the great 11 months. I can't wait for next weekend. So let's sporting events during the year. And following open up it for questions. Mike Mayock into this event has been such a great experience, especially this year as we continue to Q. How far of a drop is there in ability grow in our coverage for all of our producers and from Adrian Peterson to Marshawn Lynch, and all of our talent. And we look at this as a real then just by way of example how far does it go culmination of a year-long analysis of all these kids from Lynch to Antonio Pitman? 1 M. Mayock and E. Weinberger visit our archives at asapsports.com 4.18.07 MIKE MAYOCK: Talking about as far as Somebody who is probably considered an early pure ability or where you think they're going to go second round guy. He's clean off the field. You in the draft? know what you're getting on the field. No surprises. Q. How they're going to play when they And I think that kind of guy -- and I'll give get to the NFL, what their careers will be like. you an example. Logan Mankins a couple of years MIKE MAYOCK: I think, number one, ago to the New England Patriots at 32. Basically Peterson is one of those types of tailbacks, the defensive side of the board was decimated and because of size, explosion and what I've liked is they wanted defense that year. But it was gone. his ability to catch the football that you couldn't see So instead of reaching for a guy, they picked a real at the University of Oklahoma because they don't solid interior offensive lineman that was clean off have that in their pass offense. I think he's done a the field and they knew could play. great job of showing an ability to catch. That was And I think if you take that philosophy, really the only question mark outside of durability. you're probably less likely to get hurt and more To me he's a top five pick and a type of guy that likely to get a good football player. comes around every three to five years plus or minus. Q. Reaching back to the 2004 draft, I Marshawn Lynch played in the two tailback know it's only been three years, but based on system at Cal. Catches the ball extremely well. those three years and the players they got, cut-back runner. I think he's the kind of kid that is Shaun Phillips, Rivers, Hardwick, Merriman out going to be a really good, solid, all-around back. of the trade, Nate Kaeding and Michael Turner Maybe doesn't have the same game-breaking even. Can you put the 2004 draft to the ability that Adrian Peterson has. Chargers in perspective; does it stand out to Now, the third tailback, I believe you asked you? about, was Pitman. I've got him as my No. 5 MIKE MAYOCK: Yes, I thought it was kind tailback, Booker and Leonard ahead of him. I think of the perfect marriage between two basic mantras he's the kind of guy that's going to have to fight in the NFL, which is, number one, if there's a given his size to show people he can be a franchise quarterback available you've got to take three-down back. He's a good back. him. And number two, you've got to control He does a nice job with his footwork and perceived value. cut back. Catches the ball well, can work on his And that year the perceived value blocking a little bit. I think he's probably a second happened to be the franchise quarterback, Eli round pick, but ideally you'd like to see him a little Manning. He didn't want to go to San Diego. They bit bigger or stronger to be a three-down back. drafted him anyway. They controlled value. And they were able to take that and turn it Q. Mike, I know there have been a lot of into Merriman, Kaeding, et cetera. So I think that really good picks at 30 or 31 or 32. But draft along with the Michael Vick/Tomlinson historically, have you seen you know, those situation has allowed them to become probably the late round picks sometimes it's a read. most talent-rich team in the National Football Sometimes it's a guy you had projected in the League. second round or maybe should have been a You've got to give them credit, because second or third rounder? not only did they make the trades but the second MIKE MAYOCK: The way I look at these piece of that is converting the trades into actual late first round picks is sometimes I think where talent, and they were able to do both. you get in trouble is where you're sitting there in the 25 to 32 range and you think you have to make Q. Mike, you look at cornerback, the a splash. You're looking for that really talented kid trend a few years ago around the league was to that maybe slipped a little bit because of character, find a lot of times big college safeties and off-the-field issues, et cetera. convert them into the corners. I know the I think that's where you make a mistake. I Chiefs did that with great frequency but without think what you're seeing more and more teams do great luck over the years. Is that trend pretty at the end of the first round is they have a really much over, do you think, when we're talking good solid football player in their back pocket. 2 M. Mayock and E. Weinberger visit our archives at asapsports.com 4.18.07 about teams looking for corners? MIKE MAYOCK: I didn't even watch him MIKE MAYOCK: I really believe it goes the when he came out. I was not doing the player other way and I think the NFL was a speed first personnel full-time at that point.

LOUIS |The men who play professional foot- ball will tell you it is the most emotional of sports. That’s a byproduct of its physical nature and the machismo that inevitably accompanies that. This is the NFL, where the players are the biggest and fastest in the world. Fame and fortune only raise the stakes. Players also will tell you the retaliator usually is the one penalized. When emotions boil over on the fi eld, victory can be determined by poise and composure. When your opponent illegally hits you, how do you respond? That was on Joshua Morgan’s mind as he sat at his locker Sunday evening, towel wrapped around his waist, staring at his cellphone. For all the skir- mishes that occurred during and after plays in the Washington Redskins’ 31-28 loss to the St. Louis Rams, and for all the good and bad plays the Red- skins made while staying within reach of victory, one truth mattered more than any other. Morgan was the retaliator. And, of course, he was caught. The Redskins wide receiver was penalized 15 yards for throwing the ball at Rams cornerback Cortland Finnegan with 1:18 remaining in a 3-point game.
