Rise ‘n Grind: The greatest NFL Draft pick ever?

THE GOAT: Who is the greatest No. 1 draft pick of all time? Apparently, it’s Terry Bradshaw. Hmmm, I’d still probably go with Peyton Manning or John Elway over Bradshaw. But neither one of those guys has four Super Bowl rings; they don’t even have four Super Bowl rings combined. Who would you pick? It’s definitely a good opportunity to re-read PFT Commenter’s story about the time he spent a night with Terry.

ANOTHER GOAT: Speaking of rankings, Rotoworld’s general manager rankings came out this week. Guess who’s on top? Your old friend Bill Belichick. It’s hard to argue with that, right now at least. Say, I wonder what it’s like to be Belichick in the offseason?

ACT LIKE YOU’VE BEEN THERE: Ali Marpet is going to be the first ever player from Hobart to be drafted into the NFL. He might even be one of the highest drafted DIII players ever, probably going in the second round. How’s he taking it? He’s too busy to notice.

UPGRADE: Michael Crabtree doesn’t give the Raiders a No. 1 receiver, but he does upgrade a unit that’s been mostly forgettable in the recent past. Don’t be surprised if they still take a receiver fairly high in the draft.

STRONG MEN ALSO CRY: Mike Pouncey made his long-term deal with the Dolphins official on Monday, complete with a press conference where he got a little emotional. That’s right, Mike Pouncey got emotional.

RISE UP: The Falcons’ new stadium is going to cost a little a lot more than originally anticipated ... by $100 million. Why? Because it’s an NFL stadium, and those things rarely come in on budget, partly because the cost gets low-balled to sell it to the public. The public financing component in Atlanta is capped at $200 million though.

HOT OR COLD: Broncos running back C.J. Anderson is VERY passionate about how he likes his ketchup.

LEARN FROM THE BEST: Or at least the very good. Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon says it would be “awesome” to learn the NFL game from Arian Foster.

DAILY CRAZY EAGLES THING: Don’t worry, it’s not a trade rumor. Some Eagles scouts feel like Chip Kelly’s old Oregon quarterback would be better as a safety. WHAT? It’s not who you think it is.
