Welcome to the working week NFL Draft fans. How about a quick, fun tidbit from Sunday? The first three draft picks for the Philadelphia Eagles – offensive lineman Danny Watkins, safety Jaiquawn Jarrett and cornerback Curtis Marsh – were all inactive for the team's game against the St. Louis Rams. Onto the links:

Rookie Scouting Portfolio - Dan Shonka interview part one
Shonka has 39 years of football experience as a player, college recruiter, college coach, and a combined 16 years as a NFL scout for National Football Scouting Service, the Philadelphia Eagles, the Washington Redskins, and the Kansas City Chiefs.
NFL Mocks - Arizona State QB Brock Osweiler gaining momentum as NFL prospect
A little further research shows that the name of Osweiler’s game is not size (he’s 6’8″) but accuracy, precision, and fire.
Ya know, there’s really no more links today. Mondays suck for links. Instead, I’ll just write a little more about interesting football items from over the weekend.
Browns cornerback Joe Haden really had his way with Bengals rookie A.J. Green most of the day Sunday. Well, until the fourth quarter at least. Green got his only catch, a 41-yard touchdown, when the Browns were slow getting out of the huddle and Haden didn't get over to cover Green. Regardless, neither the Browns or the Bengals looked all that impressive. If either gets six wins it will be surprising.
In addition to those Eagles rookies, the Rams also put first-round pick Robert Quinn on the inactive list Sunday. Quinn isn't injured, as far as I know, so this should be concerning.
