End of Blog

Hello All,
I know this blog has not been too relevant anyway, but I have decided to stop writing on it for good. It has been fun, and I have enjoyed it. I have learned many new things, and just the act of writing regularly improved my writing tremendously (not that it wasn't perfect already). I simply do not have the time to put into this blog, and instead of trying to restart it down the road, I know this is the end.

I would like to thank every single person who has viewed my page and offered criticism. Thank you! And happy holidays to all.

Goodbye :)

SanFranSports' 2011 NFL Mock Draft (picks 6-10)

6. Clevand Browns: Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn

Nick Fairley plays with attitude, and there is no denying his talent. At 6'3" and nearly 300 pounds, he has the size to be effective in the NFL. Much like Cam Newton, Fairley has only been played at an elite level for 1 year. But during that year he won the Lombardi Award, and BCS National Championship Game MVP. Cleveland can not let someone with this much potential slip through their hands.

7. San Francisco 49ers: Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU

Easily a top 3 talent in this year's draft, the 49ers would be a so lucky if another elite talent fell into their laps. Peterson started every game he played at LSU. Not to mention he has the size to be a safety in the NFL, yet the speed to be a cornerback. He has all the tools to become the next great lock down cornerback in the NFL. He would be sure to improve the 49ers' secondary, which could definitely use improvements.

8. Tennessee Titans: Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina

Quinn missed playing the 2010 season, but if he had it is easy to see that he would be a top 5 pick. Robert Quinn has elite pass-rushing skills and the Titans(as long as every other team in the NFL) could could use another great player to come rushing from the outside. He has the prototype skills for a 3-4 outside linebacker.

9. Dallas Cowboys: Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska

The cowboys need to upgrade their secondary desperately, and Amukamara is a player that can do that. Although he isn't as highly regarded as Patrick Peterson, I believe they are a lot closer to becoming an elite corner in the league than most people think. Prince had an excellent combine, and had a stellar career at Nebraska, after leading the team's defense this year with the absence of the great Defensive Tackle, Ndamukong Suh. He has quickness, and great skills that will translate to the NFL game.

10. Washington Redskins: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama

The Redskins could use a lot of help with their Receivers. Julio Jones is an absolutely beast athletically. Jones posted a 4.39 in the 40 yard dash, and leaping a 11'3" broad jump, he really was a combine workout star and stole the show despite having a stress fracture in his left foot. He is currently recovering from this surgery. Julio Jones has more sheer talent than A.J. Green, however his receiver skills, such as route running, and catching the ball in traffic, are not up to par.

SanFranSports' 2011 NFL Mock Draft (picks 1-5)

Mock drafts are a great way to see how things could turn out. I have decided to make one releasing it in 5-10 pick segments until the draft is complete.

1. Carolina Panthers: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama

For the most part, the consensus is that Marcell Dareus is the best player in this year's draft. Not only would he make a D-Line better after its production significantly dropped last year via Julius Peppers leaving, but last year the team invested a second-round draft pick on a Quarterback. The new regime may want to get "their" quarterback, however Marcell Dareus is not a talent you can just pass up.

2. Denver Broncos: Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson

Bowers is a freak athletically, and was on top of big boards for most of the year. He is currently having some knee issues, but really, it's the NFL, players get injured, and it's nothing serious. I believe he can turn out to be the best pass-rusher in this draft. The Broncos need a pass-rusher, and Bowers is a better fit for their system than Von Miller.

3. Buffalo Bills: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri

Ryan Fitzpatrick is not going to cut it if you plan on being successful in the NFL. Plaining on simple. The Bills need a Quarterback, and Gabbert is the best in this year's class. After years off sub-par play, the Bills do not need to take a risk on a guy like Cam Newton.

4. Cincinnati Bengals: A.J. Green, WR, Georgia

The Bengals love their Wide Receivers and A.J. Green has all the tools to become a great one. Carson Palmer is not happy in Cincy, and there are two ways to make a QB more happy: Give him better protection, or upgrade his targets to throw to. Seeing how there isn't a top-5 Offensive Lineman talent in the draft, giving him targets seem like the logical choice. Any Quarterback would be happy throwing to a talent like Green.

5. Arizona Cardinals: Von Miller, DE/OLB, Texas A&M

The Cardinals have lots of holes to fill on their team. Pass-rusher is on of them, and Von Miller has the tools to become a great one. He also fits into their system. Cam Newton could be another option Arizona has to choose from, but Miller seems like a safer pick at this point. When you have lots of holes to fill already, you do not want to set your team back by making draft choices that do not pan out.

Change In Direction

I've been thinking lately about how to make my blog unique, and standout. I don't write on it as much as I have in the past, so I have to make it standout in other aspects. I believe I can do this throughout the baseball, and football seasons.

So, without further adieu here is a video I made about 4 years ago. It was my first flash animation ever made. I just remembered about it today, and felt like sharing it with people.
