[Jun 6th] Andrew Garda says: Austin is a very special player and will very quickly become Sam Bradford's favorite weapon. While Austin isn't Calvin Johnson, he's deadly after the catch and will gain a ton of his yards there. Don't let size worry you. As a side note: the most interesting thing when looking at Austin-Bailey-Geno Smith is asking "who made who?" While I like Smith, the more I look at West Virginia games the more I think Austin and Bailey made Smith look better than he made them look. Expect the same in St Louis. (hide this)

[Jun 6th] Andrew Garda says: While Bernard is not the best back in the class, he fell into a very good situation. I've never felt Benjarvus Green-Ellis was a special back and while he has had solid years, nothing he's done makes me feel different. Bernard is a guy who can do it all and be on the field for every down, despite being a bit undersized. He doesn't have breakaway speed and tends to get banged up, but is elusive, tough to bring down and can carry defenders with him. I believe he'll get a large piece of the pie this season and prove himself to have more upside than Law Firm. (hide this)

[Jun 13th] Andrew Garda says: With the news that Willis McGahee has been cut by the Broncos, Ball's value certainly goes up. While Ronnie Hillman will still get significant carries, Ball will likely step into the lead spot and get the lion's share. Ball has shown solid vision and can get to the line quickly. Ball isn't much of a pass catcher, so we'll see how other backs fit in around him, especially on third down. Still, he has the ability and if he can improve a bit on his third down work, could develop into a workhorse like he was in college. (hide this)
