Rise ‘n Grind: Bill Belichick is elite now

The Patriots head coach is in #elite company, which is sort of #elite by association. Go under the hoodie with us for a heaping helping of football content.

HALL OF HOODIE: This is going to be Bill Belichick's 16th season as head coach of the Patriots. He's one of 13 NFL head coaches with 15 or more seasons at the helm with the same franchise. Of that group, 10 are in the Hall of Fame, so where does Belichick rank among that group?

DOWN GOES TOM: Tom Brady jumped off a cliff. Sorry, Jets fans, it's not what you think. He also got schooled by Michael Jordan. Tom Brady's having a better March than you are.

TRADER CHIP: Are the Eagles done dealing? It's hard to believe they are. Naturally, that's led to a whole list of possible deals, including one for a recent top-10 pick whose career has sputtered. He's small and fast and might just be the perfect fit for Chip Kelly's offense.

SO UNFAIR: Why do the Eagles keep hiring cheaters? Good question.

ADRIAN PETERSON & DALLAS: Talk of the Cowboys making a move for Adrian Peterson heated up a little last week. Peterson's contract is a bit of a stumbling block. Over the Cap runs the numbers on whether or not Jerry could afford it.

SEAN PAYTON JUST LOVES THESE COACHES: PFT Commenter’s eagle eyes were aroused by something that was kind of hard to see in the league’s annual head coach group photo. And the next best thing about a PFT Commenter column: the comments.

BLOGGER MOCK: The Texans, Chargers and Chiefs will make their first-round selections in SB Nation's blogger mock draft on Monday. Get caught up on picks 1-15.

GOOD BUD: It’s another good year for pass rushers in the draft, but this mid-tier of players, the edge guys expected to be selected in the middle-to-late picks of the first round, all share a pretty high risk/reward factor, maybe none more than Kentucky rusher Bud Dupree. Retired NFL defensive end Stephen White took a closer look at Dupree.

BUSTED: Speaking of boom-or-bust pass rushers, can the Steelers count on Jarvis Jones to break out in his third season in the NFL? They need him to with Jason Worilds out of the league now.

INVESTIGATION: Who better to get to the bottom of what the NFL is really doing than Mulder and Scully?

CHURNED: There are no fewer than eight teams said to interested in Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota. So which team is actually going to take him? We ran the odds.

LOOKOUT BELOW: The wind was causing problems this weekend at the construction site of the Vikings' new stadium. Auspicious start.

GODS AND MONSTERS: Aaron Rodgers is clearly the worst human being in the world ... because he pissed off a columnist and we were forced to listen to a full 12 hours of indignant wackiness and counterpoint think pieces. Also he likes Wisconsin basketball which people are kind of fired up about for some reason.

SUH WORTH IT: Or was he? The Dolphins gave Ndamukong Suh lots of money, money that they won't be able to use for other things. PFF looks at whether they overpaid.

GOOD HOSTS: A few recent draft visits and workouts of note ... the 49ers met with LSU OT La’el Collins and Tray Walker will take an official trip to see the Niners ... Rice cornerback Bryce Callahan is visiting Tampa Bay ... the Bengals had people in Baton Rogue for the LSU pro day ... Pittsburgh is hosting Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory; Louisville wide receiver DeVante Parker will have a visit along with a follow-up visit from a potential first-round pass rusher.
