He said he had noticed her from the first, but she didnt believe him.
He was tall, golden, with midnight hair and laughing brown eyes. He had an easy walk and easier laugh. People flocked to him, without even realizing it, perhaps. The Force danced around him in merry sunshine hues of yellow and orange and wrapped around everyone near him, holding them safe and close.
She was small, quiet and serious. She never did see how her own band of brilliant greens, precise and ordered, soothed those around her. She stayed with the books and lived through history. She didnt mind, though. She loved the hunt for answers through the strands of time, knowing she was the best at what she did. She liked to watch the world from a distance. She liked the quiet, the sense of timelessness.
And then he had smiled at her and history stood still. She had dropped a carton containing a new shipment of holocrons from Manaan.
It took almost an entire week for her to forgive him for that. She had called him a fool, and then felt badly.
He had returned to the library again and again, charming and teasing her out of solemn stares. Making her laugh.
In the end, it took much, much longer to forgive him for that.
She watched the Force dance through her eyelids, light and effervescent and yet, she could walk on it, if she chose. She did not.
She simply sat, in the dim, dusty light of the conclave library and smiled at the multicoloured threads that weaved and sparkled between the ancient texts and holocrons. Light tied together each story, each life, each decision for millennia. Every question ever asked. Every answer. No-one could untangle those strands like she could, to make sense of the past and connect it to the future. No-one could search like she could.
But she wasn't focused on the rainbow hues, now. She only saw the single yellow ribbon of light that wrapped around her and teased her full lips into a shy grin. Every word, every dream, every hope, every record that sat, waiting to be discovered exploded into waves of connection to the outside world, and brought it all back. To her.
Brought him back.
To her.
A rush of crimson vitality blew through the library, causing the sedate Force strands to flutter and wave. The lone Jedis smile widened and her warm, sherry-coloured eyes opened. She waited for the footsteps that echoed down the hall to catch up with the swirling energy that preceded them.
Hello, padawan. You are early.
I know, Master Kreia, grinned the young man, skidding to a halt in front of her, but you left off at such an exciting point last time. I thought, maybe, we could get an early start?
You would begin without the others, Revan? That is hardly fair, she chided, but continued to smile at the gawky youth who was only beginning to grow into the presence that surrounded him. She raised a hand and a hefty tome flew to her fingers.
Her eyes softened at her students crestfallen look. Here. Take this.
Revan stared at the dusty book, his blue eyes widening with appreciation. What is this? Paper? How old is it, Kreia? Who wrote it? Does it have anything to do with our last lesson on the Hundred-Year Darkness?
The Jedi Masters low chuckle ruffled the dust that danced in the sunlight around her. Perhaps youd be better served by opening the book to look for your answers, Revan.
Her pupil flashed a grin and gingerly lifted the heavy cover. Kreia beamed her approval at his gentle touch. He let out a soft whistle and ran his fingers through his bright, unkempt hair, raising his eyes to hers. Kr
this cant be, really? How could any of Ajunta Palls writing have survived? Why would it be here?
Read it, padawan. The Jedis tone was soft and indulgent. Pall was a Jedi once, and wrote many journals while within our fold before he fell. Perhaps these words will offer you some illumination as to why we study the Hundred-Year Darkness. If you know the paths that have been trod by others, it may be easier to see where you set your own feet.
Revan didnt answer. He was already seated backwards on one of the librarys chairs, hunched over the text. He didnt look up again until his classmates clamoured into the library, disturbing the peace of the place. He said nothing to them, but closed the book and gave it back into Kreias care with a smile.
Thank you, Master. Youre right. I will get more out of this next lesson.
The librarian nodded solemnly and watched her star pupil join his friends. As she blinked in the slanting light of late afternoon, a dark blue shimmer caught her eye. A line, a ribbon slicing through the Force web that layered the room, danced between Revan and the ancient book, but it rippled and disappeared. She stood motionless, staring at the empty air between her and her apprentice.
Are you coming, Kreia? Malaks booming voice rumbled through the library. Ive got weapons training after this and I dont want to be late!
Im coming, impatient one. Force knows we wouldnt want to keep you from your weapons.
Kreia gathered up an armful of holocron cubes and strode toward the group of youngsters before her. Now, hopefully you all remember where we left off
a group of rogue Jedi were looking for the secrets of eternal life when they fell to the Dark Side
A shadow slid along the corridor. Not even a whisper of sound followed Jedi Master Kreias progress as she wound her ways through the Coruscant conclave, following a brilliant yellow strand of joy. She had no need for light, no need for direction the bright beam of Force directed her footsteps, steered her intention.
He was back. He had been gone for so long. Perhaps he has forgotten. Perhaps it is all gone. But the ribbon of his wake was still pure and bright as it had been the day they met, so she followed.
She hesitated only for a moment, when she stood at the thick door. The door swung open before she could raise a hand to knock. There, with warm light spilling out around him, stood Jarel, tall and golden, his eyes laughing down at her. One strong arm wrapped around her and the other closed the door behind her.
Later, in the flickering gloom, she smiled into his dark eyes. His midnight hair disappeared into the shadow and her own chocolate tresses spread over his chest. They had never needed words between them.
I missed you.
Did you, Jedi? You were very busy and it was I who waited here.
His hand reached out and tugged at a tendril that spilled down over her eyes. You know I did. Youre the only reason I returned.
What? You can not mean that. Kreia sat upright in the tiny bed, knocking the single light blanket to the floor. You thought you would not return? Jarel
My love
what happened?
He drew her back down to him, to his heat, and stroked her cheek.
I havent even debriefed to council yet, and I want to run from this place. Things are different out there, Kri. You have no idea. I had no idea. The council
they have no idea. Im not going to be able to make them understand. Im not going to be able to make them see.
The pain in his voice tore through her. She wanted to see. She needed to see.
Fire from the sky. Heat. Burning. Terror. Blood. Cowering and hiding. Inescapable eyes behind metal masks. Death and death and death.
She whimpered, and he held her closer. He was shaking beneath her hands and that scared her more than anything else.
Diwor, Gyndine, Aralia
theyve all fallen to the invaders, Kri. Anyone left alive has been enslaved. Its not going to stop. Theyre not going to stop.
He held her until she could breathe again. This place, this conclave, feels like a trap, Kri, like Im chained. I know what theyll say. That the Outer Rim is out of our hands, that we have to wait, to study
Ill go mad, Kri. I have to do something.
I know.
She lay alone in the dim morning light, but her mind followed his bright, yellow thread until distance snapped it.
I love you, Kriea.
His voice whispered across space.
I know.
Jedi Master Kreia didnt have many answers for the council when they came for her. She told them of Jarels fears, of the things he had said. She did not tell them that he had wept in her arms and then kissed her as if his life their lives depended on it. She did not tell them about the bright band of amber that sometimes reached out to her from the dark, begging for comfort.
She, who had been erudite, became obsessed. There were days when she could not remember the last time she had entered her own quarters. She sat in her library, tracing patterns, chasing strands from ancient texts to modern holos on Mandalorian warfare and politics. There were so many questions. No answers.
She taught her classes, for the council demanded it. They told her that her time would be better used with students than researching the motivations of a rogue Jedi a fallen Jedi. But she wasnt available for extra time with students even her favourites. The ties between the Hundred-Year Darkness and the fall of Gyndine were too tenuous for her to focus on at any length. They didnt matter.
Sleep was a place of despair. Jarel called to her from fields of blood. The bright yellow of his essence, tinged and sticky with red, drifted through time and space, looking for her. And she was powerless, an impotent shell of a pedantic academic, while he fought and suffered. She pleaded with him in her dreams, beseeched him to return to the conclave. To her. In her dreams, he was always weeping, but strong and determined to do what was good.
A fallen Jedi.
One evening, as afternoon sank into night, her eyes locked on a deep purple thread that dove between holocrons of the Mandalorian Crusades and journals of Ulic Quel-Droma. She snarled in frustration as the connection wavered and dodged her attempts to make sense of it.
Master Kreia? Dont you need some light? How can you see
As the rooms overhead lights flickered to life, Revans mouth hung open as he observed his Master, her deep brown hair grey at the temples and her warm, laughing eyes, pale and unfocused. She sat, surrounded by mountains of ancient texts, some heaped in piles as if they had been thrown there without care for their age or delicate nature.
I just wondered if I could read that journal of Ajunta Palls again
but, youre busy
Yes. Yes, I am busy, padawan. I am sorry. If you can find the book, please take it. She waved a negligent hand towards the jumbled, abused tomes behind her. I can not
Revan stooped to lift a large book from its resting place, splayed out across the floor. He dusted it off and placed it carefully on a shelf.
Master Kreia? Can I offer you some assistance with your task? He scooped up another book and stowed it in its appropriate place, carefully not glancing her way. You look like you could use some help.
The librarian peered at him for the first time in weeks. Months? When had he grown into a man? When had the crimson chaos that whirled around him settled into a deep, commanding glow?
I am sorry. Give me but a minute. I will help you find that book. Her voice seemed dry and cracked from disuse.
She pushed her hair back from her eyes and glanced towards her student. Her eyes narrowed.
Revan. Come here. The words whipped out in a command. He hesitated only a moment before crossing the floor to her with a shrug.
Her hand grasped his wrist as she regarded him. An indigo thread, finer than shell-spiders silk, wound around the young apprentice. Small filaments darted out in all directions into the galaxy, but one of those had drifted out to coil around the sheen of magenta that had been tormenting her moments ago. She turned from him, blind to everything but the blue trail that pulled her forward, deep into the mounds of information littered across the library floor. It led her, it led directly to the journal of Ajunta Pall.
She picked up the ancient book, too startled to feel ashamed about its rough treatment. Here it is, Revan. Why were you wanting it?
He began to shuffle with unease, but quickly stopped himself and met her gaze. The red fires of power around him thickened to a deep russet.
Havent you heard, Master Kreia? The Mandalorians are practicing all-out slaughter! His face seemed so young to her now, as he paced the floor, his youthful energy, straining at a tight leash. And the blue chains around him dug deep into his scarlet field. The Republic does nothing, Master. The council does nothing! His gaze encompassed the state of the library in a single contemptuous sweep. Youre all content to hide here behind your protocol and investigation and allow the galaxy to die around us! You
Whatever words the padawan expected to speak next were cut short as a single gesture from Kreia lifted him from his feet.
Do not tell me what I am content with, youngling! she seethed.
Revan stared down at her, shock evident even as he struggled to breathe. In a second, her golden eyes met his and widened. The young man tumbled to the floor even as his Master sank to her knees among the librarys chaos.
Oh, I am sorry, Revan! She stared at her hands in horror. I
do not know how I did that. I am just so tired. And there are no answers!
With that, she buried her face in her hands and wept as she had not when she realized how far Jarel had run. My love!
Silently, Revan restacked the librarys inventory onto the shelves. When he finished, he crouched beside his Master and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. Tell me what youre looking for, Kreia. Ill help you.
More months passed as the Jedi Council on Coruscant debated the politics of the Galaxy as one might discuss the benefits of owning a Czerka skimmer over a hanno speeder. When Revan wasnt pleading for action, he could be found in the conclave library, helping Kreia untangle the web of information and history that connected the Mandalorian rampage to the Jedi mandate anything to make the council listen!
He watched with some concern as the strain began to tell on his Master. The grey streaks in her hair thickened, and she stared at him, more often than not, without seeming to see him. But she flew through the shelves unerringly as if possessed, lifting volumes from their place, opening them and discarding them. Together they tried to untangle prophesy, philosophy and history.
Every time Revan and Kreia found a link to the Jedi, shed urge him to take it to council to use the powers of persuasion at his disposal. Every time, hed return, his face a thunderous mask, and report his failure.
With each failure Jarel's ribbon fluttered further into the gloom of space. With each failure the Force whispered to her of her defeat, of her loss.
As time went on, Revans classmates joined them in their search first Malak, then others. Even young Mical returned day after day, if only to get his hands on texts that would otherwise be beyond his classes.
They searched and failed. Searched. Failed.
Enough! Revans temper finally gave, and the blue chains around him snapped, bleeding purple through his essence.
His friends froze, a sense of anticipation boiling through the room. Kreia watched silently, allowing his passion, his natural leadership to speak for them both.
No more of this. How many have died while we have done nothing but collect dust? My heart can bear no more!
Malak, looking pale and weary, nodded.
They may as well train us to bake bread, if our skills in combat and tactics must sit idle while civilizations disappear and entire generations are enslaved
Understanding where this would lead, Kreia stepped forward and raised a hand. Revans speech stopped, his hand drifting unconsciously to his throat.
I can not hear this, padawan. You speak of treason, rebellion. I will not have it in my library.
She began to herd the young Jedi out the door with varying looks of disbelief and disappointment on their faces. Revan was last to leave. He paused at the door, as if to speak once more, to convince, but she stopped him.
Go, Revan. You can do more good without me now, I think. She pressed a small, mouldering text into his hands. Take this. I do not think well see each other again, soon.
Revan left without another word, The Infinite Empire tucked safely in his robes.
That night, Kreia tried to sleep again. She hunted desperately through the Force for some trace of a single, wavering gleam of yellow. Often, she felt it just out of her reach, but could not touch it.
Jarel. My love. They come. Wait for them. They are coming.
She knew that they would consider Revan's departure a betrayal of the Light, but it had never occurred to her that they would blame her.
Only after they hounded her from the academy did she hear about the massacre of padawans on Taris, the slaughter of Cathar. But she knew. She had lived them with Jarel. How dared they speak of betrayal??
Exiled as she was, she felt free. She was free to find him. She sliced through the strands of the Force, following only the broken, bloody trail of his stained yellow ribbon through the galaxy. She called out to him, but he hid from her, limping from planet to planet. But no-one could search like Kreia.
She found his body, in the grassy plains of Malachor V, black hair sticky with blood and brain. She lifted his head into her lap and rocked under the night sky, stroking his ruined cheek, his still-beautiful mouth.
Fool! Was it worth it? Who did you save?
But she had on her person a tiny holodisk, a later writing of Ajunta Pall. Eternal life. No-one could search like Kreia.
She pieced him back together like a childs puzzle and held him together with her hatred. When his remaining eye flickered open, and fixed on her lined face, she didnt see the damage of him, only the sickly yellow-orange hue, swimming with a green putrescence.
Come, my love, she crooned. Revan will be waiting for us.
Sion only nodded and followed.
Such a Quiet Thing by UilleandWatch

Submitted for the Mandalorian Duelling Challenge # 30 -origins.
Kreia's quiet fall - how a quiet librarian began to despise the Force, and how her hatred set the future of the galaxy on a knife's edge.
I was unbelievably unsatisfied with this when I submitted it. I couldn't even bear to look at it. And then, when I read everyone else's entry, I wanted to take the damn thing down. *sigh*
Even now, there are things that really irritate me about it.

I just found this - I've written about a Jedi librarian turned Mandalorian during the Clone Wars era. Your writing is fantastic. I'm glad I found it.
I still have much to learn from you, master...
That was awesome.
Thank you!
It's...beginning to bother me...less...LOL
(But I think that's only cuz other pieces are bothering me more....*sigh*)

Hey, it's good writing! I especially like that twist at the end. The plot is solid, it fits in the canon, and there's even correct grammar. That's a trifecta right there.
"But she had on her person a tiny holodisk, a later writing of Ajunta Pall. Eternal life. No-one could search like Kriea."
Kreia? Just a small mistake, but I LOVE the story. You build up the tension well and the ending... didn't see it coming

Now I'm trying to think... This one won second place, didn't it? Congratulations on that; it was well-deserved. This was an intriguing story and frankly, I never saw the end coming.
Thanks Tat!!! That seriously blew my mind...There were at least 5 stories in that list I'd have voted for before mine....I wouldn't have felt at ALL disappointed with one vote and all the lovely comments people left for me...
You're very welcome! I had about four favorites myself... It was so hard to pick!
Me, I'm satisfied with my one vote (yes, I got ONE. ) and the shock I inflicted upon my loyal readers. Call me evil, but that was gratifying because it was the reaction I'd hoped for.

Again, I have to say that I truly enjoy your writing style. You truly paint out the scenery, emotion, and characters of a story with your words. I have not seen any other entries, but I assure you, your piece is quite good!
Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge to give decent critiques on a more technical level, if that is something you are looking for... Though I can tell you from a reader's standpoint that it is highly enjoyable.
And being irritated with pieces is not necessarily a bad thing. I am almost always frustrated with aspects of my own art and writing... But perfectionism is part of what strives us to do better, I suppose.
Alright, enough rambling from me. Keep up the great work!

K...first of all..what your art is fries my synapses and makes my brains leak out my ears....frickin' fantastic...
(I wouldn't even think of trying a concrit on your work....can't think...drooling...)
Second of all...just thank you. My only real desire with this strange writing thing I do is to make someone feel something. So, if that happened - I'm more than satisfied. Thank you

Wow, thank you. You're too kind.
You have definitely made me feel through your work, as a big part of what drew me to it in the first place is the level of emotion that your writing contains. It is strong, but natural. Nothing feels forced or contrived, and I feel as though that is a rarity these days. All in all, just keep doing what you are doing, it's really awesome work.

Animated MRI Scans of Fruits are Hypnotic, High in Fiber
by Robert Quigley Apr 23rd
The layman is most familiar with MRIs, or magnetic resonance imaging, as a tool used to scan the severity of a brain or bodily injury -- or, in more severe circumstances, as a cancer test -- but they're regularly used for research purposes like psych studies, or simply messed around with by bored researchers.
Redditor Junglistandy has alerted us to a series of beautiful, animated MRIs of fruits: A pineapple, an orange, and a cluster of bananas. They have to be seen to be believed:Read More

Greenpeace status check: Yep, still crazy
posted at 7:02 am on July 28, 2010 by Diane Suffern
In case you thought all those F-bombs would go to waste, Greenpeace has a message for you. According to the Daily Mail:
Greenpeace activists attempted to close down a number of BP petrol stations across London this morning, creating a huge inconvenience for motorists.
The group claims it had shut off fuel supplies at about 50 service station forecourts by flipping safety switches.
The switches were then removed to prevent the patrol stations from reopening, activists claimed.
But a BP spokesman said protesters had only managed to close down about 30 service stations, adding that they would be reopened as soon as it was safe to do so.
The spokesman said: 'We are aware that a number of our stations have been closed.
'One of the sites affected is used to supply ambulances with fuel putting sick people at risk.
'We are working to re-open the sites as soon as possible.
'This is an act of vandalism that clearly puts motorists and staff at the sites at risk.'
The stunt has been described as 'an irresponsible and childish act'.
Oh, you stodgy old whiners. As if pulling and removing the switch to nearly 50 gas stations in London alone would affect anything of import like, you know, taxpayers trying to get to work in a troubled economy or ambulances and staff already strapped for time and resources because of NHS regulation. It's for the pelicans!
Let these glossy Greenpeace signs plastered on affected stations be a lesson to villainous Big Oil: They will SHUT YOU DOWN…just after using petroleum-based products for their propaganda. (And hipster hair products. And nerdy glasses. And skinny jeans.) Consistency.

On Film
Snapping, Humming, Buzzing, Banging: Remembering Alan SpletBy Richard B. Woodward
Millions of Americans heard the name Alan Splet (1940–1994) for the first time as a punch line on television. The occasion was the 1980 Academy Awards, where his sound design the previous year, on Carroll Ballard's The Black Stallion, had earned him a special Oscar. Citing prior commitments, Splet did not attend the ceremony. When the presenter held up the statuette and the honoree failed to appear to accept it, the evening's host, Johnny Carson, turned this perceived snub of Hollywood taste back on the truant. "It always happens," he deadpanned to the audience, "first George C. Scott doesn't show, then Marlon Brando, and now Alan Splet."
Splet deserves better. He was no joke. In fact, to an exclusive circle of independent filmmakers who know how much his collages of sound and musical refinement added to their movies from the late seventies to the early nineties, his name is still invoked with an affection verging on awe. Tributes can be found on YouTube from Ballard, Peter Weir, Caleb Deschanel, and Philip Kaufman, with whom Splet collaborated on three films. Splet's sound design and editing on The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988) ranks among the most haunting and sophisticated of its day—or any day. Leoš Janáček's string and piano music is as ravishing as Sven Nykvist's cinematography, underlining not only the distinctly tart Czech melancholia of the novel, but also serving, notes Kaufman, to "supplant Kundera's voice as the narrator and give the film its drive."
No filmmaker in those years bonded more intensely or productively with Splet than David Lynch. The two met in 1970 when the writer-director needed a sound track for his short film The Grandmother. (Splet was then employed at a Philadelphia industrial film company, having bailed on a career in accounting.)
With no money to foster the visions Lynch had in his uncompromising young head, the pair spent twelve-hour days inventing effects on the cheap, recording human mewls and gurgles and hissing machine-made sounds. Not until their concoctions matched the images on the editing table and the pairing created an elusive "mood" (a key term for Lynch) were they satisfied. Thereafter, until Splet's death in 1994, he partnered with Lynch on every major film project, those that were completed (Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart) and those that weren't (Ronnie Rocket).
In the opinion of some, however, their masterpiece of "audio surrealism" remains Eraserhead. Begun in Philadelphia and finished in Los Angeles, its atmosphere is as marked by the sooty poverty of the filmmakers as The Grandmother had been. It was during this time (around 1973) that Lynch, who could not afford paints, did two meticulous drawings in ballpoint pen: a crucifixion, in a style that combines Mattias Grünewald and Francis Bacon, and a resurrection, now lost. Hoping to raise money to finish the film, they had prints made, an enterprise that was rewarded with total failure.

WATCH: Carrie Underwood performs special Emmy tribute
Listen to Carrie Underwood on iHeartRadio
Carrie Underwood is helping the Emmy Awards honor TV's past along with its present.
The country star took part in Sunday's ceremony on CBS, singing The Beatles' classic "Yesterday" in a salute to TV milestones from 50 years ago.
In introducing the performance, actor Don Cheadle reflected on how back in November 1963, TV enabled the country to mourn together following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and how The Beatles' appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" just a few months later helped bring the entire nation out of its grief.

At the recent NAMA show, I had dinner with a manufacturer who expressed concern about the future of the vending industry. He explained that advances in technology made it necessary to charge more for his company's equipment. "Operators need more sophisticated vending machines, but they're not willing to pay more for it. What they really need to do is raise their prices. Vending operators and the way they merchandise have not kept pace with modern technology." ...by Alicia Lavay-Kertes

Syria rebel filmed biting into soldier's heart
(NEWSER) – A Syrian rebel has been caught on video apparently cutting a dead soldier's heart from his body then taking a bite from it. "I swear to God we will eat your hearts and your livers, you soldiers of Bashar the dog," says the rebel, identified by Human Rights Watch as noted rebel figure Abu Sakkar of Homs. HRW calls the act a war crime, and Syria's leading opposition coalition has promised a trial, the BBC reports. "The mutilation of the bodies of enemies is a war crime. But the even more serious issue is the very rapid descent into sectarian rhetoric and violence," an HRW rep tells Reuters.

Post subject: Pre-Draft 2013 Mock *5 Rounds* pt. 1 w/comparisons &
Sup. updated 3/25
1. Kansas City Chiefs Luke Joeckel* /OT/ Texas A&M:
With the franchising of Albert, release of Winston, efforts to resign their defensive lineman, and Reid's track record of investing big on the offensive line...it all points to an OT with the Chiefs pick. Joe Thomas
2. Jacksonville Jaguars Eric Fisher /OT/Central Michigan:
Monroe is a fine LT but the Jags are lacking almost everywhere else upfront. EDIT: similar to the Chiefs situation, Fisher is arguably bpa and helps one of the weakest positions on the team. Likely goes to RT, but with Monore having one year left, he makes great leverage for the team as a suitable replacement. Fisher was so dominant in Mobile, he might have actually lowered Joeckels stock by looking like a comparable option at LT. NFL comp Joe Staley
3. Oakland Raiders Shariff Floyd* /DT-DE/ Florida:
Even with the recent signings of backups Walker and Sims, an elite interior pass rusher should still be high on their board. Floyd moves like an athletic DE and has the power of a plugging DT. Regarded as a sure top ten pick heading into the combine with Mayock and a few others thinking top 5. Tragic background that makes you root for him no matter what. NFL Comp. Darnell Dockett
4. Philadelphia Eagles Lane Johnson /OT/ Oklahoma:
One of the biggest risers out of senior week and he impressed at the combine as expected. Now regarded as having higher upside then either Fisher or Joeckel. Perfect type for Kellys up tempo offense. Kellys also explained that sacks are kryptonite to his offense-a young, elite LT cant hurt.
5. Detroit Lions - Sheldon Richardson* /DE/ Missouri:
Richardson is like a LB trapped in a DTs body. Huge motor, surprising power, along with his mobility, could make him a top 5 pick. Doesn't fit the usual mold of a wide 9 DE but he gets up field, shoots gaps, and chases the ball better then any other downlineman in this class. Played at 285 during the season before bulking up pre draft and could fit as a starting DE. NFL Comp. Justin Smith
Miami Dolphins (CLE) Dee Milliner*/CB/ Alabama:
Blazed his 40 at Indy then stumbled through his positional workout. Still, he's the top ranked CB. The Dolphins have ammunition to move up if they really want to and Cleveland no doubt would take a trade down and perhaps make it a bargain for a team to get into the top ten. Here, the Dolphins give up a 2nd. NFL Comp. Terrell Thomas
7. Arizona Cardinals Jonathan Cooper /OG-OC/ North Carolina:
Extending Hoyer and signing Stanton doesnt take QB entirely off the board for the Cardinals at #7 but I think it does suggest they might pass early and look for a guy later. Coopers ranked higher then Warmack on some teams' boards because he's the better athlete and could also play OC. NFL Comp. Jahri Evans
8. Buffalo Bills Jarvis Jones* /OLB/ Georgia:
I think the interest in Geno Smith by teams in the top ten is just posturing to induce trades down. Right now I'm buying his story at the combine and feel like he'll pass enough team's med checks to not drop too far. I think the issue though for decision makers is not so much whether he can play with the condition, it's should he be playing. But it's his life. Obviously Jones is all in and wants to be drafted high but the next temp paralysis after an awkward hit might change his familys mind, especially once their financially set. NFL comp. Chad Brown
9. New York Jets - Chance Warmack /OG/ Alabama:
Again - I think the interest in Geno Smith by teams in the top ten is just posturing to induce trades down. Ryan has one more season to show some kind of legitimate turn around or hes out. Warmack is pro ready and helps Ryan immediately get back to his brand of football. Key word with this choice is "safe". Even if a rookie pass rusher taken here gets 10 sacks next season, if the offense plays as bad as it was, they're still picking top 5 and Ryan's out. Top priority should be to fix the offense. NFL Comp. Will Shields
10. Tennessee Titans - Dion Jordan /DE/ Oregon:
Jordans got a similar skill set to previous busts like Jarvis Moss-Aaron Maybin, but I think his experience and ability in space separates him. Pass rush specialist until he gets stronger. Its also remarkable that he put up such a solid season while playing half of it with that torn labrum. Had he stayed healthy, he'd have even more buzz. NFL comp. Julian Peterson (with 4 more inches)
Jacksonville Jaguars (SD) Geno Smith /QB/ West Virginia
Caldwell just might make a bold move to get his coach a franchise QB. The Jags give up their 13' 2nd & 5th and 14' 2nd and 4th to move back up for Smith. He didn't especially shine in positional workouts but came across very well in interviews reportedly. Also spoke of his reluctance to run, saying he was the facilitator of the offense and didn't want to selfishly take it over. If true, is that a flag? Idk, but I'd prefer a guy who wants to take over games. Regardless, the Jets desperately need to reboot at the position and would be all over a trade up if he falls. NFL comp. Mark Brunnell
Cleveland Browns (MIA) Tyler Eifert /TE/ Notre Dame:
It's clear with the pursuit of Fred Davis that the Browns FO doesn't see Jordan Cameron as the guy at receiving TE. Chudzinski's offense revolves around the TEs to the degree that he's contemplating stitching K2 back together for a reunion. "Eifert is underrated and I think his stock will soar as the draft gets closer-starting with the combine." -Check. NFL Comp. Jason Witten
*previous Tavon Austin
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Ezekiel Ansah /DE/ BYU:
Dominated the senior game after seemingly overthinking during the practices. His combine performance should highlight his monster upside and convince that he can be lined up almost anywhere. NFL Comp. Justin Tuck
14. Carolina Panthers Star Lotulelei /DT/ Utah:
Stock is in flux until his heart situation is cleared. Despite the redirection that it's dehydration/rapid weight loss, it doesn't look good. I've dropped him some but it's possible he's out all together. NFL comp. Ndamkung Suh
15. New Orleans Saints Kenny Vaccaro /S/ Texas:
The tatted one is regarded by many as the top S in the draft. McShay recently gushed he's talented enough to play some CB. But he underwhelmed at the combine. The Saints need to address the safety spots and cut dead weight. NFL Comp. Michael Huff
16. St. Louis Rams - Tavon Austin /WR-RB/ West Virginia:
Austin becomes an upgrade to Amendola. The value of a legitimate playmaker is higher then ever-Harvin/Cruz/Wallace. And similar to Harvin, Austin can be utilized everywhere on offense. NFL comp. (taller) Darren Sproles
*previous Keenan Allen
17. Pittsburgh Steelers - Keenan Allen* /WR/ California:
Allens worth a top ten pick imo. His stock might take a hit if he recovers slowly from his late season knee injury and Patterson/Austin blaze. NFL Comp. Javon Walker
*previous Tyler Eifert
18. Dallas Cowboys - Matt Elam*/S /Florida:
Stellar pro day and being looked at as both an in the box guy and a capable single high type. Pound for pound, one of the most physical defenders in the draft. NFL Comp. Dante Whitner
19. New York Giants Bjoern Werner* /DE/ Florida State:
Hallo. Everything I've read suggests Werner is not as highly rated as everyone thinks. But at his size, he still explodes off the ball and shows the ability to stand up. Giants have a sound draft philosophy and have no reason to change. NFL comp. Jason Babin
20. Chicago Bears Arthur Brown /LB/ Kansas St:
Checked back on ND games for Te'o after that horrid bowl game and compared him with Brown and Minter (vs Miami, Oregon, & A&M). Got to say now that Brown is possibly the best ILB prospect of the three. Undersized but doesn't play like it. He can thump inside while also looking great in space. Hes got it all but his size might be looked at as a liability. Sound familiar? NFL Comp. Jon Beason
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Jonathan Cyprien /S/ FIU:
Cyprien looks like a CB in drills at 6'1 209. NFL Comp Morgan Burnett
*previous D.J. Fluker
22. St. Louis Rams - D.J. Fluker* /OT-OG/Alabama:
Good coaching and D.J.'s a sure pro bowler.
*previous Jon Cyprien
23. Minnesota Vikings - Cordarrelle Patterson*/WR/Tennessee:
Incredible open field runner for a taller guy. Extremely raw but his upside is in the HOF area. Great leaper should mesh well with the lob artist.NFL Comp. Josh Cribbs (with better lateral quickness & long speed.)
24 Indianapolis Colts - Barkevious Mingo*/OLB/ LSU:
Mingos the freak athlete in need of a lot of polish. Overhyped though and I dont think he goes as high as most anticipate. NFL comp. Mathias Kiwanuka
25. Minnesota Vikings (SEA) Datone Jones /DE-DT/ UCLA:
Already had Jones as a 2nd rounder before Mobile where he crushed it. Any team, running a 34 or 43, in need of more pass rush should find it hard to pass him up. NFL Comp. Cameron Jordan
Buffalo Bills (GB) - Ryan Nassib /QB/ Syracuse:
Nassib didnt stand out at senior week practices but the word is teams are still high on him. The Bills deflected interest in him early but it could have been a smoke screen. Hes got decent arm strength, mobility and accuracy. Not always consistent but he could respond to better talent around him in the NFL. NFL Comp. Andy Dalton
27. Houston Texans Jesse Williams /NT/ Alabama:
Not yet getting enough recognition. Williams should become a beast of an interior lineman in the NFL-able to play in any scheme. NFL Comp. Antonio Garay
28. Denver Broncos - Xavier Rhodes /CB-S/ Florida State:
Rhodes has the size and tackling ability to play safety if needed-and he might have to in the pros. NFL comp. Gary Baxter
29. New England Patriots DaMontre Moore* /DE/ Texas A&M:
Similar to Werner, it seems his stock is not as high as expected. But incredibly productive in his first season playing with his hand down inside a tougher conference and still very young. NFL comp. Willie McGinest
30. Atlanta Falcons Alex Okafor /DE/ Texas:
Okafor was the best Texas defender imo and was one of the best defensive players at Mobile. NFL Comp. Andre Carter
31. San Francisco 49ers Desmond Trufant /CB/Washington:
Trufant came out of senior week being called a first round pick and followed it up with a solid combine and pro day. NFL Comp. Courtland Finnegan
32. Baltimore Ravens - Menelik Watson /OT/ Florida State:
Extremely raw but a tremendous talent for the position. I think theyd like to keep Oher on the right side.
San Diego Chargers (JAC) Terron Armstead /OT/ Arkansas Pine-Bluff:
Held his own at post season all star practices at LT and OG, then blew up the combine.
*previous Deandre Hopkins
2. San Francisco 49ers (KC) Terrance Williams /WR/ Baylor:
Wiiliams has size and speed but it's his quick feet that I think will make him a great pro. Sort of a sleeper thats going to end up a steal. NFL comp. Torrey Smith
3. Philadelphia Eagles Robert Woods* /WR/ USC:
Woods is sot of the forgotten guy after his mediocre junior season. What I like most is his toughness. NFL comp. Santonio Holmes
4. Detroit Lions D.J. Hayden /CB/ Houston:
Stock catapulted recently and the only thing holding him back is the med check on his injury. NFL Comp.
*previous Jamar Taylor
5. Cincinnati Bengals (OAK) Alec Ogletree* /LB/ Georgia:
I didn't really recognize how much of a freak athlete Ogletree was until I watched the all star skills contest and saw him demonstrate quicker feet then Robert Woods. Fills the stat sheet on a talented Georgia D but is still pretty raw and has character flags. Check that now-major red flags. NFL Comp. Boss Bailey
6. Arizona Cardinals E.J. Manuel /QB/ Florida State:
E.J.s got great size, arm and running ability but doesn't utilize it all well. Hes passive and shrinks in the big moments. But with the success of recent running QBs, itll push up his stock. At least in Arizona he can be brought along slowly as Stanton finally gets an opportunity to start. NFL Comp. Tarvares Jackson
7. Cleveland Browns (supp) - Josh Gordon /WR/ Baylor:
Supplemental pick Flash has been the Browns best WR this season. That's good and bad. NFL comp. Vincent Jackson
8. New York Jets - Matt Scott /QB/ Aizona:
Scott was considered the best thrower at the combine by more then a few observers. With the running QB trend, I'll think he'll come off the board much earlier then expected. NFL Comp. RG3
9. Tennessee Titans Justin Hunter* /WR/Tennessee:
Possible deep & red zone threat if he comes back fully from his knee injury. NFL comp. Malcolm Floyd
Green Bay Packers (BUF) Brian Schwenke /OC/ California:
Mayock gushed about him all senior week. NFL Comp. Ryan Kalil
11. Miami Dolphins Justin Pugh /OT/ Syracuse:
Knocked for his measurables at Mobile but looked like one of the best OTs there. NFL Comp. Eric Steinbach
*previous Terron Armstead
12. TRADE New York Jets (TB) Corey Lemonier* /OLB-DE/ Auburn:
Revis eventually gets dealt for a 13 2nd and 14 1st. Lemonier has been one of the most consistent rushers in the country for awhile, and only fell off the second half of his senior season. NFL Comp. Shawn Merriman
13. Carolina Panthers DeAndre Hopkins* /WR/ Clemson:
Hopkins is loved by some but Im not quite as high on him but hes got great ball skills, quickness and the mindset of a #1 WR. NFL comp. Nate Burleson
*previous Quinton Patton
14. New Orleans Saints forfeited:
15. San Diego Chargers Quinton Patton /WR/ Louisiana Tech:
Not fast but great feet and stop and start ability with solid size and catches everything. NFL Comp. Donald Driver
*previous Justin Hunter
16. St Louis Rams Larry Warford /OG/ Kentucky:
Looked like a first round guy in Mobile..on the field, not the weigh in. NFL Comp. Andre Smith
*previous Justin Pugh
17. Dallas Cowboys - Kyle Long /OG/ Oregon:
Ultra athletic project with some off field issues but a solid lineage.
18. Pittsburgh Steelers Le'Veon Bell* /RB/ Michigan State:
Bell is possibly the most slept on prospect right now. Mired on a terrible college offense, hell end up a steal in the NFL. Eddie George
19. New York Giants Kevin Minter* /LB/ LSU:
Not flashy but Minter looks like a very solid pro ILB.
20. Chicago Bears Travis Frederick* /OC-OG/ Wisconsin:
Huge run blocker should upgrade the interior immediately.
21. Washington Redskins Johnthan Banks /S/ Mississippi St:
Stock now depends on how well he looks in Indianapolis. Well, safety now imo. NFL Comp. Eric Berry
22. Minnesota Vikings Manti Te'o /LB/ Notre Dame:
Imo, its becoming clearer that Teos role in the most bizarre pre draft controversy ever was of a gullible nice guy, rather then an unstable certified weirdo. But I think hell drop none the less. NFL comp. Rey Mauluga
23. Cincinnati Bengals David Amerson*/S/ NC State:
First rounder as a junior and a late round guy as a senior. Hell fair better as a safety.
Cleveland Browns (MIA) Tyrann Mathieu* /CB/ LSU:
If he showed the same awareness and humility in team interviews he showed on NFLN, hes going to get some team execs table banging for him. Possibly the best CB out of this class. NFL Comp. Brent Grimes
25. Green Bay Packers Eddie Lacy*/RB/ Alabama:
Superbly talented but also playing behind a phenomenal line. Still his feet, agility and speed at 220+ is special. And he comes with a ready made catch phrase. NFL Comp. Steven Jackson
26. Seattle Seahawks - Sylvester Williams /DT/ UNC:
I think the Revis trade goes down. TB sends their 13 2nd and 14 first. NYJ then trades the pick to Minn to move back up into the first. Williams looks a little like Geno Atkins..every few snaps.
27. Houston Texans Da'Rick Rogers* /WR/ Tenn. Tech:
Should probably stay another year but circumstances might have him declaring. NFL Comp. Kenny Britt
28. Denver Broncos Jonathan Franklin /RB/ UCLA:
Franklin looked great senior week but will always be undersized. His character + talent has him rising.
29. New England Patriots Blidi Wreh-Wilson /CB/ UConn:
Mixed views on Blidi but with his size/speed he could go pretty high.
NFL Comp Corey Webster
30. Atlanta Falcons Tank Carradine /DE/ Florida St:
Potential first rounder before late season ACL.
31. San Francisco 49ers Kawaan Short /DT/ Purdue:
When his motors on, Shorts a top 20 guy. He could drop because of inconsistency but he'll probably generate buzz though senior week and the combine. Seattle could be interested in an upgrade for Branch beyond what they already have. NFL Comp. Shaun Rogers
32. Baltimore Ravens Eric Reid* /S/LSU:
Reids stock is not up right now but with a good combine showing, he should start getting that buzz going again. NFL comp. William Moore
1. Kansas City Chiefs Sio Moore /ILB/ UConn:
A guy Ive liked all season deservedly starting to generate buzz after a good showing at both the shrine and Mobile. NFL Comp. Lawrence Timmons
2. Jacksonville Jaguars Jamar Taylor /CB/ Boise State:
Solid competitor showed much better then expected athletic ability at the combine. NFL Comp.
*previous Jordan Poyer
3. Detroit Lions Jordan Mills /OT/ Louisiana Tech:
Mills was a late add senior week played very well by all accounts.
4. Oakland Raiders Jamie Collins /OLB-DE/ Southern Miss:
Raw all around but has elite athleticism and can get into the backfield.
5. Philadelphia Eagles Jordan Poyer /CB/ Oregon State:
Poyer was one of the best CBs at senior week practices. NFL Comp. Cary Williams
*previous Logan Ryan
6. Cleveland Browns Duke Williams /S/ Nevada:
Browns have a great big hole at FS. Williams actually reminds me a little of Brian Dawkins. NFL Comp. Ryan Clark
*previous Jordan Reed
7. Arizona Cardinals Zach Ertz* /TE/ Stanford:
Ertz doesn't look as good a prospect to me as Fleener, who went high 2nd last year but underperformed as a rookie. NFL Comp Coby Fleener
8. Tennessee Titans David Quessenberry /OG-OT/ San Jose State:
One of the best lineman at Mobile. Helped himself as much as anyone senior week and looked great in drills at the combine. Great quickness and agility into the second level and nasty attitude but needs to get stronger.
Green Bay Packers (BUF) Kiko Alonso /LB/ Oregon :
If he can convince teams his college off field antics are entirely behind him, he could go here or higher with his talent.
10. New York Jets - Denard Robinson /RB/ Michigan:
Blazing playmaker whos gotten overlooked because of his post season injury. I think his best position will be RB but he could be tried at WR too. NFL Comp Percy Harvin
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers John Jenkins /DT/ Georgia:
Bust potential for sure but you can't coach up size + motor. Jenkins gets blown off the ball too often for a guy of his size but massive DTs who can move and hustle are rare commodities-I guess. NFL comp. Shaun Smith
12. San Francisco 49ers (CAR) Margus Hunt /DE/ SMU:
Still will shine at the combine but looked like an enormous project at senior week practices.
13. New Orleans Saints Matt Barkley /QB/ USC:
Ought to go higher but his skill set is not the trend. It's always possible he kills at his pro day but the delaying is looking very suspicious. NFL comp. Chad Pennington
14. San Diego Chargers Logan Ryan* /CB/ Rutgers:
Size, ball skills-needs to show well in the post season to rise. NFL Comp. Leon Hall
*previous Robert Alford
15. Miami Dolphins Gavin Escobar* /TE/ San Diego St
Big athletic TE who blocks and moves extremely well for his size. NFL Comp. Dennis Pitta
16. St. Louis Rams Shamarko Thomas /S/ Syracuse:
Created a lot of buzz in Indy even with a faceplant. NFL Comp. T.J. Ward
*previous Khaseem Greene
17. Pittsburgh Steelers Robert Alford /CB/ Southeast Louisiana:
Alford lived up to the buzz senior week and combine.
*previous Sharmarko Thomas
18. Dallas Cowboys Giovanni Bernard* /RB/ North Carolina:
Not as fast as the big runs would indicate and has some durability and physicality concerns, but can make something out of nothing with impressive natural running skills. NFL Comp.
19. New York Giants Brandon Williams /DT/ Missouri Southern State:
After his performance senior week, he's been rising. NFL Comp. Phil Taylor
20. Miami Dolphins (CHI) Christian Michael /RB/ Texas A&M:
Eye popping testing but major character issues.
21. Minnesota Vikings Mike Glennon /QB/ NC State:
I was initially impressed how Glennon had come along this past season...then I took a look at him vs Virginia and it all fell apart-ditto his bowl game. Might pick up big numbers in the right offense but will probably never shake the tendency to make unforced mistakes. Buyer beware. Most damning thing being talked about him is that he might not be a leader. NFL Comp. Derek Anderson
22. Cincinnati Bengals - Cornelius Washington /DE/ Georgia:
Forgettable college production but really impressing in pre draft evals.
23. Washington Redskins Darius Slay /CB/ Mississippi St.:
Stock is rising but Im still not all in yet. NFL Comp. Derek Cox
24. Indianapolis Colts - Jonathan Hankins* /DE/ Ohio State:
First round talent but questionable motor and poor game tape plus the quality defensive line depth in this draft should have his stock dropping. NFL Comp. Shaun Rogers
25. Seattle Seahawks Khassem Greene /OLB/ Rutgers:
Former safety who's become a dominant defender and arguably the top OLB in the draft.
*previous Xavier Gooden
26. Green Bay Packers Brennan Williams /OT/UNC:
Coming back from injury, if everything works out, could wind up a steal.
27. Houston Texans J.J. Wilcox /S/ Georgia Southern:
Showed size/speed and skills to mold senior week gaining the praise of analysts. Also a good KR.
28. Denver Broncos Barrett Jones /OC-OG/ Alabama:
Instantly upgrades the interior. NFL Comp. Max Unger
29. New England Patriots Stedman Bailey*/WR/ West Virginia:
High on Bailey since last year when I thought he physically abused Mo Claiborne at the los and out quicked him in the open field. He's underrated due to his big play teammate and should go higher. NFL Comp. Doug Baldwin
30. Atlanta Falcons Gerald Hodges /OLB/ Penn State:
A guy really flying under the radar that is extremely athletic and showed some ability at the Shrine to play inside or outside.
31. San Francisco 49ers - Vance McDonald /TE/ Rice:
Impressed everyone in Mobile with his size and athleticism but is still a big project. NFL Comp. Ben Watson
32. Baltimore Ravens - Chris Harper /WR/ Kansas State:
Bigger WR that showed impressive speed and above average route running senior week. NFL Comp. Chris Chambers
*33. (compensatory) Houston Texans Tyler Bray* /QB/ Tennessee:
Brays got a Cutler/Stafford caliber arm but seemingly the intangibles of Matt Leinart. NFL Comp. Ryan Mallett
*34. Kansas City Chiefs Bennie Logan* /DE/ LSU:
LSU underclassman sale.
*35. Tennessee Titans Phillip Thomas /S/ Fresno St:
Created a lot of buzz early but I don't think he goes as high as expected.
1. Jacksonville Jaguars Markus Wheaton /WR/ Arizona State:
Wiry strong and lightening quick, Wheaton will outperform his draft position. NFL Comp. Mike Wallace
2. Kansas City Chiefs Marquis Goodwin /WR/ Texas:
Track guy showed well and looked like the top deep threat in Mobile-backed it up at the combine.
3. Oakland Raiders Leon McFadden /CB/ San Diego State:
Impressed senior week but must run well to maintain a high draft stock. NFL Comp. Leonard Johnson
4. Philadelphia Eagles Montori Hughes /DT/ Tenn-Martin:
Talented enough to go higher but has some character issues.
5. Minnesota Vikings (DET) Xavier Gooden /LB/ Missouri:
Undersized blazer creating some buzz but I seem to remember him losing it a couple seasons back and throwing a punch at a guy he couldnt get to the ground that he was trying to tackle?
*previous Jon Bostic
6. Arizona Cardinals Andre Ellington /RB/ Clemson:
Homerun hitting complement is a bargain in the 4th. NFL Comp. Joe McKnight
7. Cleveland Browns Tyler Wilson /QB/ Arkansas:
Wilsons small hands and the beating he took as a senior are looking like deal breakers for his stock. The team that eventually drafts him is going to get a big steal. NFL comp. Matt Hasselbeck
8. Buffalo Bills Shawn Williams /S/ Georgia:
Testing well will really help his status and solidify him as a mid round guy. Mixed reviews senior week but held his own.
9. New York Jets DJ Swearinger /S/ South Carolina:
Regarded as a high round pick in some places. NFL Comp. Glover Quinn
10. Tennessee Titans Jon Bostic /LB/ Florida:
Inside thumper ran faster then most expected and could fit as an outside backer as well.
*previous Vince Williams
11. Carolina Panthers Brian Winters /OG/ Kent State:
Rough around the edges but a monster run blocker with the athletic ability to also become a sound pass blocker.
12. New Orleans Saints Dwayne Gratz /CB/ UConn:
Opened eyes with his testing at the combine following a solid showing at senior week practices where he really looked better then Wreh-Wilson.
13. San Diego Chargers Dion Sims* /TE/ Michigan St:
A bear of a blocker but with great hands and potential in the passing game. NFL Comp. Marcedes Lewis
14. Miami Dolphins B.W. Webb /CB/ William & Mary:
Small school guy singled out by many for his impressive play at senior week practices.
15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Ace Sanders*/WR/South Carolina:
Lightening quick jump-starter for any offense and sp tms.
16. St. Louis Rams Dallas Thomas /OG-OT/ Tennessee:
Versatile and athletic helps out inside and outside.
17. Dallas Cowboys DeVonte Holloman /LB/ South Carolina:
Showed well at shrine practices.
18. Pittsburgh Steelers Earl Wolff /S/ NC State:
Unheralded SS that showed off at the combine.
19. New York Giants Baccari Rambo /S/ Georgia:
Has all the athletic ability but needs good coaching to be a quality starter.
20. Chicago Bears Marc Anthony /CB/California:
Big corner whos been defending solid talents Marvin Jones and Keenan Allen the past 2 yrs at practice. Quicker then fast type with the length and physicality to be a great press or off man corner.
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Kenyon Barner /RB/ Oregon:
Homerun hitting complement.
22. Washington Redskins - Xavier Nixon /OT/ Florida:
Mostly held his own at senior week practices. Helps on the right side.
23. Minnesota Vikings Akeem Spence* /DT/ Illinois:
Built like a fire hydrant and could learn to be effective 43 nose.
24. Indianapolis Colts - John Simon /OLB-DE/ Ohio State:
He'll drop because he's a tweener but he's one of those potential mid round steals.
25. Green Bay Packers Sam Montgomery* /DE-OLB/ LSU:
So much for telling the truth in interviews. LSU coaches criticism adds to concerns over character along with poor junior season. NFL comp. (taller) Brandon Graham
26. Seattle Seahawks Dustin Hopkins /K/ FSU:
Big enough need to go here early.
27. Houston Texans Alvin Bailey* /OG/ Arkansas :
Athletic big man didn't get a chance to show anything at the combine. NFL Comp. Donald Thomas
28. Denver Broncos Zeke Motta /S/ Notre Dame:
Mid round type that ends up contributing more then hes expected.
29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NE) Travis Kelce /TE/ Cincinnati:
A possible 2nd round pick if not for the nagging injuries and character concerns.
30. Atlanta Falcons Nickel Roby* /CB/ USC:
Small man to man tough guy. NFL Comp. Brent Grimes
31. San Francisco 49ers Stephan Taylor /RB/ Stanford:
Solid all-around RB didnt disappoint senior week.
32. Baltimore Ravens - Kevin Reddick /ILB/ North Carolina:
Solid but unspectacular inside LB does a little bit of everything.
*33. Baltimore Ravens - Brandon Jenkins* /DE/ FSU:
Highly rated pre injury and could be a steal for whoever takes a chance.
*34. San Francisco 49ers Trevardo Williams /OLB/ UConn:
Gets hung up on blockers too much but has a top notch burst and speed around the corner.
*35. Detroit Lions Hugh Thornton /OG-OT/ Illinois:
Hulking OG that could develop into a solid starter.
*36. Atlanta Falcons Jordan Reed* /TE/ Florida:
Might start creating buzz after the combine. An underrated guy that could be a steal. NFL Comp. Aaron Hernandez
*previous Nick Kasa
1. Kansas City Chiefs Montee Ball /RB/ Wisconsin:
Ball's had some off field issues and sub par testing could drop his stock.
2. San Deigo Chargers (JAC) Vince Williams /ILB/ Florida State:
Solid senior week and had a strong showing at FSU's pro day. Mayock mentioned he's probably a 3rd or 4th round pick. NFL Comp. Tim Dobbins
*previous Chase Thomas
3. Philadelphia Eagles Devin Taylor /DE/ South Carolina:
Underachiever getting some buzz because of his length and athleticism at 34 DE.
4. Detroit Lions David Bass /DE/ Missouri Western State:
The defensive star of the Shrine week practices.
5. Seattle Seahawks (OAK) Oday Aboushi /OT/ Virginia:
Aboushi had a rough senior week and poor testing but played well for Virginia this past season.
6. Cleveland Browns Cobi Hamilton /WR/ Arkansas:
Huge fan of Hamilton. He was unstoppable for the Razorbacks this past season. NFL Comp. Denarius Moore
7. Arizona Cardinals Reid Fragel /OT/ Ohio State:
Backs up Massie.
8. New York Jets - Stansly Maponga /DE-OLB/ TCU:
Slept on tweener is a good bet to out perform his draft position.
9. Tennessee Titans Nick Becton /OT/ Virginia Tech:
Fairly athletic tackle that can be groomed as a starter on either side.
10. Buffalo Bills - Aaron Dobson /WR/ Marshall:
Big target might learn some things from Plax.
11. New Orleans Saints Garrett Gilkey /OG-OT/ Chaldron St:
Showed pretty well at senior week practices. LG with the capability of backing up LT.
12. San Diego Chargers Ty Powell /ILB/ Harding:
Former S, DE, whos under the radar but shown well at the combine and pro day.
13. Miami Dolphins Jordan Hill /DT/ Penn State:
Penatrating 3 tech DT.
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Stephane Milhim /OT/ UMass:
Obscure but I thought he looked impressive at the combine and recently read he improved at his pro day.
15. Carolina Panthers Tavares King /WR/ Georgia:
Sleeper who Id bet outperforms his draft position. NFL Comp. Chad Johnson
16. St. Louis Rams Keith Pough /LB/ Howard:
Undersized pass rusher athletic enough to fit into a 43.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers Nick Kasa /TE/ Colorado:
Not sexy but a solid guy to groom.
18. Dallas Cowboys Maliciah Goodman /DE/ Clemson:
Needed depth guy.
19. New York Giants Joseph Randle* /RB/ Oklahoma St.:
Quietly stepped up his game in the absence of Weeden and Blackmon. A complete back who should go higher then this. If he continues to get stronger as a pro, he'll be a pro bowl back. NFL comp. DaMarco Murray
20. Chicago Bears Ryan Swope /WR/ Texas A&M:
Doesnt play as fast as he timed and has history of concussions. But still a solid slot WR prospect.
21. Washington Redskins Steve Williams /CB/ California:
Blazing run at Indianapolis has put him on the map.
22. Minnesota Vikings - Mike Gillislee /RB/ Florida:
Does everything well and has looked good in post season evals but is still under the radar.
23. Cincinnati Bengals - Landry Jones /QB/ Oklahoma:
Streaky but when he's on he's pretty good. could push for a bigger role in time.
24. San Francisco 49ers Zac Dysert /QB/ Miami (OH):
Gets the clipboard for now.
25. Seattle Seahawks Onterio McCalebb /KR-RB/ Auburn:
Blazer that can be an upgrade in the return game.
26. Green Bay Packers William Ghoulston /DE/ Michigan State:
Prototypical 34 DE on the surface but just doesn't do enough.
27. Houston Texans Tanner Hawkinson /OT/ Kansas:
Competition and insurance for the right side.
28. Denver Broncos Josh Boyce /WR/ TCU:
I guy I've been liking all season but thought his speed would make him a late round pick. After blazing at Indy his stock is definetly up. Poor man's Anquan Boldin.
29. Washington Redskins William Campbell /DE-NT/ Michigan:
Sleeper that could wind up playing in the league for awhile.
30. Atlanta Falcons Corey Fuller /WR/ Virginia Tech:
Competition for the 3rd WR spot.
31. San Francisco 49ers Sanders Commings /S-CB/ Georgia:
Super sized CB with straight line speed should make the move to S as a pro.
32. Baltimore Ravens - Mario Benavides /OC/ Louisville:
Depth and insurance at OC.
*33. Miami Dolphins David Bakhtiari /OG/ Colorado:
College LT gets to move inside in the pros.
*34. Green Bay Packers T.J. McDonald /S/ USC:
Knocked for being Taylor Mays v2 but has looked good in every post season evaluation so far.
*35. Baltimore Ravens - Will Davis /CB/ Utah St:
Followed up a rough senior week with a solid combine.

"we feel" Do you speak for the whole organization? Haha
With Ariz and NYJ, possibly Jack in front, if they want a guy, I think they'll have to go up and get him.

Really, really like it for the Falcons. Love getting two DEs, and someone finally mocks us an OLB early this year (Hodges isn't my favorite, but I'd be cool with him). Not everyone is going to like the Kasa pick, but I see a lot of potential in him, and with a fourth round comp (with all of our other needs filled), I say why not?

Agreed with pretty much everything you said.
I like both the De's we got i love Hodges as a olb and getting him early.
Im fine with Kasa and the CB.
Overall a very strong Falcons draft job well done.

Stopped reading with the Eric Fisher selection.
1) Moving a proven LT in Eugene Monroe to RT is dumb. I have no doubts that he could play there... but why? He's already one of the best LTs in the NFL and we're supposed to move him over for an unproven rookie?
2) Monroe is going to be in his contract year. Moving him to RT is a good way to make him not want to come back.
3) Bradfield would not play inside. He'd be the swing tackle.

I rather go after a dynamic WR like Patterson or a pass rusher like Mingo or Moore than Eifert in the first. I like Bell but if Lacy is there then I would prefer him instead. In the third Hankins or Jones would be a great pick over Thomas. Then in the fourth TJ McDonald.

No but the consensus in the Bills forum think so.

really not a fan of the Jets draft. With Dion Jordan there they need to take him over Warmack. Please no QB in the 2nd, especially Matt Scott.... Denard Robinson is too much of a project with no true NFL position. I like Swearinger a lot, good pick there. But overall, no for this draft.

So the Browns need a CB and the best one falls to them and they trade down? That is possible if they get good value, which your trade does not do. If Milliner is sitting there they will not trade back unless they get much more than the Dolphins later 2nd round pick. This is a bad move that makes little sense.
Then you have them reach at a position which is not as much a need and pass on other players who either fill bigger needs and/or are better players in Ansah, Vaccaro, Lotulelei and Eifert? Again a failure in my opinion.
You further compound this mess by reaching up into the 2nd round with their newly acquired pick to take a guy who at best will maybe become a fair nickel back or kick returner and has all kinds of issues. No thanks.
Then in the 3rd round you have them pick an undersized TE over a few other players who are generally considered to be better than him at the same position in Ertz, Escobar and McDonald. Not sure what your thoughts were on this but again it looks like a bad pick.
In the 4th round much better picks than Wilson would be Swearinger, Brian Winters or Rambo. Not a fan of Wilson before the 5th round and do not view him as any more than a journeyman as a pro.
If we do not pick up a FS before this point then Williams is an okay choice although I would prefer we fill that spot earlier and with this pick you take a guy like Swope or maybe Dysert.
All in all, in my opinion your choices for the Browns are not very good, starting with the trade in the first round.

RD1 P18. Dallas Cowboys - Matt Elam*/S /Florida
RD2 P17. Dallas Cowboys - Kyle Long /OG/ Oregon
RD3 P18. Dallas Cowboys Giovanni Bernard* /RB/ North Carolina
RD4 P17. Dallas Cowboys DeVonte Holloman /LB/ South Carolina
RD5 P18. Dallas Cowboys Maliciah Goodman /DE/ Clemson
If the draft went your way I would change it to
RD1 P18 Dallas Cowboys - D.J. Fluker /OT-OG/Alabama
RD2 P17 Dallas Cowboys - I'm good with Kyle Long here
RD3 P18 Dallas Cowboys - Jonathan Hankins / DT / Ohio State
RD4 P17 Dallas Cowboys - Baccari Rambo /S/ Georgia
RD5 P18 Dallas Cowboys - Mike Gillislee /RB/ Florida
Now a draft like this would be an absolute beauty! Fluker would start at RT
Long at LG, Hankins at DT, Rambo at FS, Gillisiee would get alot of work backing up and change of pace to murray.

Perry: Davis, Pro Choice Activists "Extreme," "Outside the Mainstream"
Gov. Rick Perry says State Senator Wendy Davis (D-Ft. Worth) and other supporters of abortion are 'extreme' and 'outside the mainstream.'
Perry told 1200 WOAI's Joe Pags that, despite the fawning publicity Davis has received from the media and from Democrats, including President Obama, for her pro choice filibuster last week, those same ideas will prevent her from being elected governor, or to any other prominent office.
"If you want to stand up and say that it's fine to take the life of an innocent five month old child, that is your freedom, and you are out of the mainstream in Texas," Perry said.
"If somebody will take the life of a five month old child in the womb, they are not going to have any trouble taking your money away from you, or taking any of your other freedoms."
Perry did not mention Davis by name, but he said repeatedly that her pro choice positions are not in the mainstream of political thought in Texas.
"It is hard to comprehend how anyone can stand on the side of these horrific late term abortions like we have seen in Philadelphia or even in Houston, or even advocate for substandard care for women," Perry told Joe Pags.
He said he is confident that the measure, which would outlaw abortion after twenty weeks gestation, require that abortion clinics be licensed as 'ambulatory surgical centers' and require that physicians with admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion clinic will pass, and they will pass with the solid backing of a majority of Texans.
Perry also blasted the pro choice activists who packed the State Senate chambers Tuesday night to help kill the bill in the first Special Session.
"I have been here for 28 years watching this Legislative process, as a member of the Legislature, as the presiding officer of the Senate, or the governor, and I have never ever seen the type of civil disobedience and the type of actions out of the gallery that we saw there," he said. "They are certainly prepared for that type of activity, they will be escorted out of the Chamber if they show up to disrupt the process. They were there for the express purpose of disrupting the process. Try that in Washington DC and see how that turns out."
He said Davis is 'wrong' and 'is on the wrong side of this issue.' He accused her and other pro choice activists of standing with the 'abortion industry.'
"This isn't about some Senator from Ft. Worth Texas, this is about protecting life in Texas," he said.
Perry pointed out that ten other states have 20 week limits in abortions, and there is no indication that the women in those states are any less healthy than women in Texas. He says Texans do not support 'mob' actions like the pro choice shout-down of the State Senate last week.

The award is presented by Sports Spot, in conjunction with the Brevard College Athletic Department.
Dillman was voted the Female Student-Athlete of the Month by the BC Head Coaching staff over fellow nominees Chelsi Mallory of the Softball team and Alisiya Klochkova of the Women's Golf team.
Dillman led the Tornados women's tennis team through the month of April, going 7-0 in her singles matches at the no. 3 position and 5-3 in her doubles matches as the sophomore helped guide the team to the 2011 Food Lion SAC tournament semifinals.

MacNeil was voted the Men's Student-Athlete of the Month by the BC Head Coaching staff over fellow nominees T.J. Hoard of the Men's Golf team and Randy O'Dell of the Baseball team.
MacNeil was recognized at the 2011 Food Lion SAC tournament as the SAC Men's Tennis Freshman of the Year, as the freshman from Dunfermline, Scotland was a perfect 9-0 in the conference at the no. 2 singles position. MacNeil teamed up with Cole Altizer to go 6-2 at the no. 2 doubles position as the team advanced to the tournament semifinals for just the second time in program history. MacNeil recorded four wins in the month of April with the score of 6-1, 6-0, defeating players from Tusculum, Carson-Newman, Mars Hill and Lincoln Memorial and finished up the 2011 season having won his past 11 straight singles matches.

Is this what you mean? I am confused to what you wantCode:$ iwconfig rausb0 rate 54M
[QUOTE=The_Denv;88507]Well I don't know what the increment should be, but if you increase it by 1dBi each time until it doesn't work; you will find your answer.
Then increase it by 1dBi each time:Code:iwconfig rausb0 txpower 10
It was rate that I was interested in but I gave txpower a go and iwconfig said Operation not supported Tried increments of 1M with rate using aireplay-ng -9 rausb0. For what it is worth, found 1, 2 and 5 worked well, 3 & 4 and all above 5 with the exception 9 failed to inject. 9 worked some of the time.Code:iwconfig rausb0 txpower 11
Is this what you mean? I am confused to what you wantCode:$ iwconfig rausb0 rate 54M
Okay... Today I have spent alot of time with this and I can do everything except for connecting to wpa and Spoonwep. Further investigation has shown that everything works just fine once connected to an open/wep AP, however wpa still refuses to connect. I have tried the iwpriv commands I posted before, as well as some slightly different ones SV had posted in a different thread, and even tried to configure wpa_supplicant.conf (a flailing attempt, I know it doesnt work for our driver but it didnt take long and was worth a shot).
After this I attempted to try different drivers. I downloaded the official one from Edimax and rt73-k2wrlz-2.0.1.tar.bz2, an earlier version of the current driver. This is where my latest problem begins.
I cant seem to do a make install, every time I try to make install the driver (as instructed by the read me) I get the error listed below. I get a similar error when trying to make install the rt73-k2wrlz-2.0.1 driver as well.
So now I am stumped, I have exhausted everything in my limited library of knowledge and nothing seems to work. Not even SpoonDrv can seem to download and install a driver. I am low on time today but later tonight I plan to google my make install problem and make sure its not a common issue.Code:bt ~ # cd /usr/src/RT73/2008_0117_RT73_Linux_STA_Drv18.104.22.168/Module bt Module # ls Configure connect.c netif_block.h rtmp_type.h Makefile ifcfg-rausb0 oid.h rtmp_wep.c Makefile.4 iwpriv_usage.txt rt73.bin rtmp_wext.c Makefile.6 link_list.h rt73.h rtmp_wext.h Makefile.CMPC load rt73sta.dat rtusb_bulk.c Module.symvers md5.c rt_config.h rtusb_data.c README md5.h rt_user.c rtusb_io.c ReleaseNote mlme.c rtmp.h sanity.c STA_iwpriv_ATE_usage.txt mlme.h rtmp_def.h sync.c assoc.c mlme_ex.c rtmp_info.c unload auth.c mlme_ex.h rtmp_init.c wpa.c auth_rsp.c mlme_ex_def.h rtmp_main.c wpa.h config.mk netif_block.c rtmp_tkip.c bt Module # cp Makefile.6 ./Makefile bt Module # make install make -C /lib/modules/22.214.171.124/build \ INSTALL_MOD_DIR=extra SUBDIRS=/usr/src/RT73/2008_0117_RT73_Linux_STA_Drv 18.104.22.168/Module \ modules_install make: *** /lib/modules/184.108.40.206/build: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [install] Error 2
If anyone has any suggestions I will be glad to hear them and if I come across any solutions I will be sure to post back as well.
I just edited the original post with all the solutions I have found. The card is working great for me now and I hope everyone finds equal success!
Just wanted to share that i have a Linksys WUSB54G with the rt73 chip and i have used your solution and it works now.
At least i can catch networks, nothing worked before.
Thank you
Cortex, Thank you for replying. Since I only have an Edimax EW-7318, I did not realize when starting this thread that the rt73 driver was shared by multiple cards. To make things easier I had the name of the thread changed to reflect that this method works for anyone with the same rt73 driver.
I followed the tuto, but when I did
"iwpriv rausb0 set WPA2PSK=(my key)"
it returned
"Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...
set (8BE2) : Invalid argument"
What's the f___ ?
My example says...
and it seems you usediwpriv rausb0 set WPAPSK=<Your Key>
You only need to do WPA2PSK for"iwpriv rausb0 set WPA2PSK=(my key)"
Try it without the 2Code:iwpriv rausb0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK (or WPA2PSK if you are using WPA2)
Holy shit !
This works great !!!
Dude, you're God, thank you very much !
(the last time I tried it, I made synthax fault, it's "EncrypType" and not "EncryptType" lol )

Welcome to America: Visiting Fulbrights visit USC
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
The University of South Carolina will host 40 students from more than two dozen countries Sept. 3 – 7 for a Fulbright Gateway Orientation for newly arrived Fulbright Foreign Students to the United States.
USC will host the foreign students at the downtown Columbia Marriott where they will learn how to adjust to American life and understand the U.S. academic culture and politics as well as develop leadership skills. They also will tour the S.C. Statehouse and USC's historic Horseshoe, learn how to line dance and experience Southern cuisine and gospel music.
The orientation, one of 10 being hosted throughout the country, is intended to prepare Fulbright students for successful academic, personal and professional experiences while in the United States.
Joining the USC Fulbright Gateway Orientation will be Tom Healy, chairman of the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board. On Tuesday afternoon, Healy will meet Fulbright alumni, coordinators and current Fulbright scholars to discuss program innovations, perceived barriers to participation and efforts to strengthen the global Fulbright community. The afternoon meeting is hosted by USC's Office of International Support for Faculty and Staff, and anyone interested in attending may email firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Fulbright Gateway Orientation is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). It is part of the Fulbright Program and designed by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in cooperation with ECA. It supports the overall mission of the Fulbright program – to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.

The next few weeks are jam-packed for our family! This past week, I have had two different TV spots that I (and my sisters) had to prep for, we put in sprinklers in our lawn (because we have been watering by hand for the past year and a half!), preschool graduation, and we are preparing to send my husband over to Bosnia at the end of the week to do some humanitarian work for our church. He will be over there for about 10 days helping fit people for wheelchairs and teaching other health professionals how to do it themselves. It's a great work to be involved in and he is very much looking forward to it because it will be such an incredible experience! However, it makes life a little bit crazy right now . . .
Slow Cooker Cheesy BBQ Chicken Bacon Sandwiches
4 chicken breasts (mine were frozen)
1 (16-20 oz) bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce (we love Famous Dave's)
1 lb bacon strips, fully cooked
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6-8 large onion rolls/buns
Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour bottle of BBQ sauce on top of them. Cook on low for about 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Shred chicken and set aside.
Set oven at 425 degrees. Split onion rolls in half and lay on a large baking sheet covered in foil.
Put some shredded BBQ chicken on the top of half of the bun.
Place 2-3 strips of bacon on top of the chicken and top with a handful of shredded cheese.
Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 3-4 minutes (until the cheese is melted and the edges of the bun are golden.
Top with the other half of the bun and enjoy!
These sandwiches go perfectly with our favorite Macaroni salad (and are the perfect summer meal!).

OK everyone Version 3.5 has been released. It's got some new cool toys to play with.
I revamped the menus, added a section with prereqs.
New toys include an EvilTwin FakeAP attack as well as a Karmetasploit attack.
Changes to the code to try to clean it up and make it more efficient. If you actually want to look at the code, now you'll know whats going on.
Downloads - easy-creds - Linux bash script for MITM attacks - Google Project Hosting
As always, feedback is welcomed. If you like it, go to Redmin and request it be added to the BackTrack repos. ;-)
Happy hunting!
I've got a problem: I can't see passwords with ettercap under bt5. However, it works under bt4. Does anyone know why?
This issue has already been discussed on some forums but does not appear to be solved.
Thanks for your help!
Well done sir.
Hi all,
First, this script is great. So much time saving!
However, I have a problem with ettercap. Under bt5, it does not show any password, but under bt4 everything is fine.
I have seen in other forums this issue has been discussed, without any apparent success.
Does anyone has an idea?
So the issue with ettercap & BT5. I have seen this also and have done some research. It looks like it is a know issue with the distribution. Looking at the Ubuntu bug report (they keep up ettercap) it looks like a past Debian patch conflicted somehow. I don't know the whole story.
I have been working with purehate to test the latest ubuntu ettercap release from the natty repos.
Essentially what I did was to change my source.list to only grab from the natty universe. I then did an apt-get install ettercap. It updates ncurses & libssl to their latest official ubuntu releases. After making that change, it seemed to be working again. (I believe the release is 0.7.3:2.1 in the ubuntu repos)
This is just a "shot in the dark" fix and has not been fully tested for compatibility, but so far I have had no issues or conflicts.
In addition I submitted a bug to Ubuntu because of the known issue with ettercap running out of resources because of the pthread exit issues (not properly releasing and just chewing up all resources) I am hoping that will fix the "crashing" issue, if they ever get around to it. Then easy-creds will work flawlessly.
So if anyone is good with C and knows their stuff with pthreads, let me know, I'll tell you what part of the ec source to look at.
Happy hunting
I can confirm that ftp does indeed show passwords not in ettercap with the "fix" I have above. But it only works when performing a standard ARP poison. I don't know why it doesn't work with a one-way poison.

Tracy Lawrence hosting annual Turkey Fry next week
Listen to Tracy Lawrence on iHeartRadio
It's that time of year again for Tracy Lawrence.
The country star will be donning an apron next week to host his 8th annual "Mission Possible Turkey Fry" in Nashville. At the event Tracy - along with some celebrity friends and other volunteers - will roll into the parking lot of the Nashville Rescue Mission before sunrise to fire up their fryers and begin cooking turkeys.
The singer intends to fry up at least 500 turkeys and serve meals to some of those who are homeless and hungry in the Nashville area.
Tracy says he's glad to help out. He calls the Nashville Rescue Mission "a blessing" to the community, and adds that every year he's "humbled by the outpouring of support" from those who donate their time to his event.
Lawrence's 8th annual "Mission Possible Turkey Fry" is set for November 26th - the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
Since launching the "Mission Possible Turkey Fry" in 2006, Lawrence has he's fried up nearly 6,000 turkeys, which have generated over $35,000 meals. And the singer isn't just feeding the homeless at his event. The "Turkey Fry" is open to the public.
