Silver And Black Pride Quentin Groves

So I just saw that Arizona has signed Quentin Groves. I was hoping that one of you lovely chaps could share a little something on him and tell me if he really is worth the signing. So this is supposed to be 75 words long, and I might as well ask you this. IF you were starting a brand new franchise give me the 1st player you would draft from each position and why. Anyways... Thanks Lads!

Pride Of Detroit Calvin Johnson v.s. Fitzgerald

Hello. I am a write over at Revenge of the Birds. We recently posted an article about who is the better of the two WR's, Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson.

Here's the link. http://www.revengeofthebirds.com/2012/5/23/3038612/calvin-johnson-v-s-larry-fitzgerald So far we have Larry Fitzgerald in the lead but it is a Cardinals page (obviously) so It's no surprise that we have Fitz in front.

Today marked the beginning of OTA's. The Cardinals were the only team to have all players (from what I have seen) at OTA's.

There were a few players who were unable to practice because they are recovering from surgeries, Beanie Wells, Ryan Williams, and Jeff King being those guys. Jeff King was a surprise injury. Darren Urban was told he suffered a partial quadriceps tendon tear recently at the facility and had a surgery to repair it. Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams are still rehabbing from their knee surgeries, so no surprise there.

Revenge of the Birds 2012 NFL Draft NFC West Picks: Thoughts and Reactions

Figured I'd end with the Number 1 Overall Pick this year.

We come to the end of the 2012 NFL Draft. We've made our picks as have our rivals, all that's left to do is sign a few UDFA's and possibly a Veteran Free Agent or two, which Rod Graves and Ken Whisenhunt haven't shut down yet. Lets take a look at the picks from rounds 4-7. One thing I will be doing differently is not incorporating grades, which seemed to upset a few people last night.

In their press conferences at the NFL Combine, both Ken Whisenhunt and Rod Graves announced that they want Levi Brown to come back.

It comes as no surprise seeing as Levi was Ken Whisenhunts first Draft selection. Brown played much better over the last 7-8 games of the season.I'm sure they're hoping, just as we all are that he has turned that corner and is now the player we need him to be.
