"Similar to our wedding invitations and programs, the menu card was a great addition to our suite of paper products used for the wedding. It was a nice size for our place setting and of high quality. We had modest design requests which were implemented quickly. Bonus, we received these a day earlier than expected!"
"We personalized this by using blues/navy colors, by removing 1 of the courses (we're only having 3 courses, but there is room for 4 on the menu if needed), by doing rounded edges which I think adds to the slightly more informal modern look, and adding a 'save room for wedding cake' note on the back. I'm really looking forward to adding this to our table display."
"Great quality. Beautiful product. Designers emailed me final draft including all my suggested changes. Great customer service!"
"We are having a nautical wedding in summer and chose navy blue for this menu card. Exquisite, heavy card stock, looks so much more professional than what you can print on your own computer. Suggestion - if you are having a buffet like we are, you can change the titles of the courses to read other things. For instance, we broke it down as Chilled Hors D'ouevres, Hot Hors D'ouevres, Entree and Dessert. You can play around with the titles until you get it to reflect the meal you are serving. Wish I'd ordered more!"
"Very elegant menu card, the quality of paper is excellent, I would order again if I need to and I will recommend to friends"

- Adtran (ADTN -13.3%) guides on its Q3 CC for Q4 revenue to drop by a high single-digit to low-teen percentage Q/Q; that's worse than a consensus for a 7% decline.
- Shares have nosedived on the guidance after trading higher earlier today in response to the telecom equipment vendor's Q3 beat.
- Several other telecom equipment firms are also seeing sizable declines on a down day for tech, as are some component/chip suppliers. CIEN -4.3%. JDSU -3.9%. FNSR -4.5%. JNPR -2.8%. AMCC -3.8%. DRWI -4.7%. RVBD -3.3%.
Sep. 4, 2013, 3:01 PM
- Equipment vendors Adtran (ADTN +10.1%), Ruckus (RKUS +4.5%), Aruba (ARUN +2.5%), Ericsson (ERIC +2.2%), Procera (PKT +2.1%) and Calix (CALX +2.3%), and component/chip suppliers Oplink (OPLK +4.1%), NeoPhotonics (NPTN +2.3%), Alliance Fiber (AFOP +3.1%), AppliedMicro (AMCC +5%), and PMC-Sierra (PMCS +1.9%) have joined the ranks of names outperforming following Ciena's (CIEN +13.6%) strong numbers (fueled by strong demand for metro/edge networking hardware) and Juniper's upbeat conference comments about Q3 bookings and router demand.
- Ciena mentioned on its FQ3 CC U.S. orders were relatively strong (likely a sign of strong AT&T/Verizon spending), as North American carriers lead the way in adopting newer technology platforms (100G optical, integrated Ethernet/optical hardware, etc.), However, the company also claimed Europe is stabilizing, and that it's seeing new customer wins in Latin America/Asia.
- Ciena also touted its share gains, noting Heavy Reading calls it the leader in the fiber-based Ethernet access switch space, and that Dell'Oro ranks its first in the integrated Ethernet/optical market. However, it does look as if Ciena has lost some share in optical transport (revenue +15% Q/Q but -26% Y/Y). The company says new customer wins will lead transport growth to pick up.
Sep. 4, 2013, 9:29 AM
- Ciena (CIEN) expects FQ4 revenue of $550M-$580M, mostly above a $551.4M consensus.
- Sales of integrated Ethernet switching/optical networking gear (Converged Packet Optical) rose 3% Q/Q and 23% Y/Y in FQ3, and made up 56% of revenue. That could be a positive for Cyan (CYNI - previous).
- Ethernet switch sales (packet networking) +14% Q/Q and +104% Y/Y, and now 11% of revenue. Optical transport hardware +15% Q/Q but -26% Y/Y, and 12% of revenue. Software/services +7% Q/Q and +1% Y/Y, and 20% of revenue.
- As Cisco and Juniper can vouch, demand for metro/edge networking hardware (such as Ciena's converged packet optical gear and Ethernet switches) has been strong lately.
- Gross margin was 43.6%, +110 bps Q/Q and +400 bps Y/Y, and reversing FQ2's Q/Q decline. It's expected to be in the low-40s in FQ4. Opex -3.5% Q/Q and only +8% Y/Y, op. margin jumped to 8.2% from 3.7% in FQ2.
- International customers made up 37% of revenue vs. 43% in FQ2. Two customers (possibly AT&T/Verizon) accounted for 31.8% of revenue, nearly even with FQ2.
- Infinera (INFN) +6.9%, JDS Uniphase (JDSU) +2.5% and Finisar (FNSR) +2.8% in sympathy.
- Ciena also jumped following its FQ2 results. Needham's July call was on the mark.

- BlackBerry (BBRY +2.1%) is rallying on hopes the Microsoft/Nokia blockbuster will increase its chances of being acquired as it continues evaluating "strategic alternatives," and reportedly seeks out a "Google-like" white knight.
- Deal optimism is overshadowing a bearish note from Raymond James: the firm has cut estimates through 2015, and (backing up a recent WSJ column) says checks indicate sell-through has been weak.
- Meanwhile, several smaller networking/telecom equipment makers have joined Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson (previous) in outperforming, as investors speculate Nokia will use some of its Microsoft cash to strengthen NSN via M&A. Infinera (INFN +5.6%), Ciena (CIEN +3.5%), DragonWave (DRWI +4.8%), and Ruckus (RKUS +2.6%) are among the winners.
- Craig-Hallum thinks Nokia is now likely to buy Ruckus, a leading player in carrier Wi-Fi and an existing NSN partner.

- Nasdaq-100 futures (QQQ, XLK) -0.5% AH after Cisco provides relatively light FQ1 guidance to go with an FQ4 beat, and also reports Asia-Pac/Japan orders were down 3% Y/Y (macro is blamed).
- Networking/telecom hardware vendors and some of their suppliers are naturally the biggest decliners. Many of them have run up strongly this year on hopes of gradually improving carrier capex and enterprise IT spending. ALU -3.3% AH. JNPR -2.4%. ARUN -1.4%. FFIV -2%. ARRS -2.4%. RVBD -3.2%. JDSU -1.6%. FNSR -2.8%. CIEN -2.2%. CAVM -2%.
Aug. 6, 2013, 5:20 PM
- Finisar (FNSR) expects FQ1 (July quarter) revenue of $266M and EPS of $0.30-$0.31, above guidance of $245M-$260M and $0.22-$0.26, and a consensus of $253.6M and $0.24.
- The optical component vendor mostly attributes its performance to "increased sales of 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet transceivers for datacom applications." Demand for 10G data center hardware and 100G carrier optical networking gear has been growing rapidly. Telecom sales rose by $2M Q/Q.
- Though Finisar is halted, other industry names are up in AH trading. JDSU +4.4%. CIEN +2.8%. Other names that might rally in sympathy: INFN, NPTN, AFOP, OPLK, OCLR.
Jul. 29, 2013, 2:14 PM
- Analyst Alex Henderson says "numerous indications from the component supply chain " point to a pickup in orders for components used in coherent optical transmission systems, which can lower the need for optical amplifiers and are proving popular for 100G deployments.
- Ciena (CIEN +1.8%), whose PT is raised to $28 from $22, is "unanimously noted" in the checks as having pulled in component orders.Though coherent demand is seen as the main factor, Henderson also reports hearing of strong demand OTN switching and carrier Ethernet gear.
- Henderson is also reiterating Buys on rival Infinera (INFN -0.8%) and component vendor NeoPhotonics (NPTN -2.9%) for the aforementioned reasons. Infinera tumbled last week in spite of beating Q2 estimates and providing above-consensus Q3 guidance, as investors decided they wanted more following huge YTD gains.
- Ciena has been rallying strongly since its June 6 FQ2 report (I, II).
- Other optical component vendors: JDSU, FNSR, OPLK, OCLR, AFOP
Jul. 18, 2013, 11:23 AMSeveral telecom equipment/component/chip names are ticking higher after Verizon raises its 2013 capex budget to $16.4B-$16.6B from $16.2B (a figure that disappointed investors when announced in January). CIEN +2.7%. JDSU +2%. JNPR +1.7%. SONS +2.3%. ALLT +2.5%. CAVM +1.8%. CALX +2.2%. The group sold off 3 months ago after AT&T lowered its 2014/2015 capex forecasts. It rallied last Thursday thanks to positive analyst commentary. | Comment!
Jul. 17, 2013, 10:47 AMOptical networking hardware vendors Infinera (INFN +2.7%) and Ciena (CIEN +1.6%) rally after William Blair starts coverage with an Outperform. Shares of both companies have soared over the last 3 months, fueled by strong earnings reports (I, II) and expectations of a surge in 100G transmission system deployments. Infinera's Q2 report arrives on July 24. | 1 Comment
Jul. 11, 2013, 4:03 PMTelecom equipment, chip, and component makers finish up strongly after Needham upgrades Finisar (FNSR +6%), Goldman upgrades Alcatel-Lucent (ALU +6.3%) and Adtran (ADTN +2.3%), and William Blair reports of positive F5 checks. Ciena (CIEN +10.1%), Riverbed (RVBD +4%), Calix (CALX +6.9%), Aruba (ARUN +5%), and JDS Uniphase (JDSU +3.6%), are among the top gainers. Needham says meetings with Finisar's chairman and CEO leave it impressed with the company's positioning and visibility. "Finisar seems more confident in its outlook than it's been in a number of years." Goldman responds to Adtran's strong top-line results and guidance by declaring it "uniquely positioned to benefit" from a multi-year cable/DSL broadband infrastructure upgrade cycle.

Jun. 19, 2013, 4:28 PMFinisar (FNSR) +8.9% AH following its FQ4 beat. FQ1 guidance is for revenue of revenue of $245M-$260M and EPS of $0.22-$0.26, mostly above a consensus of $248.9M and $0.20. A 150 bps Q/Q increase in gross margin to 32.2%, caused by a favorable mix, contributed to the EPS beat. Finisar says it's seeing strong demand for 10G/100G Ethernet components for datacom gear - 10G is being rapidly adopted in data centers, and some firms are starting to embrace 100G. Opex +4% Y/Y. a little above rev. growth of 2%. JDSU +3%, NPTN +4.3%, and CIEN +1% in sympathy. FN, OCLR, and OPLK could also rally. CC at 5PM ET (webcast). (PR) | Comment!
Jun. 10, 2013, 4:06 PMNeoPhotonics (NPTN +5.2%) and Alliance Fiber (AFOP +4.2%) close up strongly after SA contributor Inflection Point Investing argues the optical component vendors are plays on the 100G optical networking boom, while making a fresh bull case for Infinera (INFN +1.6%). IPI points out NeoPhotonics mentioned in May it's seeing strong 100G component sales, and that it "supplies to seemingly every big vendor in the optical space." Regarding Infinera, the firm is encouraged by Ciena's (CIEN +2.2%) earnings call remarks about "seeing a strong uptick" in 100G optical demand, with U.S. carriers leading the way.

Here's the deal, Mikey: the GOP will pay for the primaries if you (1) pay for the damage to the capitol, (2) pay for the $5 million-plus security expenses for your tantrum, (3) p[ay for the Kloppenburg recount, (reimburse taxpayers for the salaries and bennies of the 14 fleebaggers while they were out of state, (4) pay for the six recalls of GOP senators. Sound reasonable?
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Democratic Party of Wisconsin wants state Republicans to reimburse taxpayers for the cost of six primary elections this week.
Democratic party chair Mike Tate told reporters Wednesday the GOP "abused the electoral process" by forcing Tuesday's primaries. He says Republicans can no longer claim to be responsible stewards of taxpayer money.

Sometimes I just have to ask myself "Why?" and then repeatedly bang my face against my computer desk. First off, relax, there is NOT a new remake coming, but apparently producer Richard Rubinstein has plans to give the original Romero classic Dawn of the Dead a three-dimensional face lift.
While compiling a list of upcoming 3D horror movies, HorrorMovies.ca has discovered Rubinstein's plans to redo the film in "True 3D" with the help of In-Three Inc. of Agoura Hills, California. It's also reported that a direct sequel to Romero's Dawn is in the works. Lord knows that worked so well for Day of the Dead 2: Contagium (<--- still not a word).
Hit up the above link for the full rundown of 3D horrors coming at us, and keep it locked for more.

On 27 Nov. 2014, Adv. Michael Sfard petitioned the High Court of Justice on behalf of HaMoked and 7 other Israeli human rights organizations to rule the policy of punitive home demolition unlawful. The petition is backed by a legal expert opinion authored by some of Israel's top jurists, asserting that the policy severely contravenes international humanitarian and human rights law and the fundamental tenet of Israeli law whereby people cannot be punished for actions other than their own. The opinion stresses that this policy may be considered a war crime in certain circumstances, with the attendant risk for those involved in its implementation.

Stafford could take time off
CINCINNATI -- Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford says he'll think about sitting out a game or two so his sore left shoulder can heal.
NFC North blog
ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert writes about all things NFC North in his division blog.
• NFL Nation blog
• ESPNChicago Bears blog
Stafford aggravated his non-throwing shoulder in the closing minutes of a 23-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Linebacker Dhani Jones drove him onto the shoulder after he threw a pass. Stafford left the game and sat on the bench the rest of the way.
The top pick in the draft originally hurt the shoulder during a win over Cleveland on Nov. 22. He'll have medical tests when he gets back to Detroit. Stafford says the injury is painful, and he'll consider resting it.
The Lions fell to 2-10 on Sunday. Their next game is at Baltimore.

Gideon Haigh, writing for the Australian, believes that the ICC's plan for a comprehensive structural overhaul and to cede most executive decision-making to the BCCI, ECB and Cricket Australia, will ultimately do more harm than good.
Yes, the vast majority of bilateral arrangements are unprofitable on their face: there is so much cricket being played, supranational as well as international, that the market for content is flooded, and television's values predominate. But it's also true that a continuity of contact matters for other reasons, contributing to an on-going epic story, longer and bigger than any individual, however famous, and any administrator, however enduring. It's even truer that the decline in the value of bilateral series is due in part to their neglect. Who can get fussed about two-Test series? How is it possible that India has not played Pakistan in a Test in six years, and not hosted Bangladesh for a Test in thirteen? Increasingly, bilateral series have become about back scratching among the mutually interested and the pursuit of administrative vendettas.

Leicester City's Anthony Knockaert can terrify Huddersfield Town again
Posted: January 25, 2013
|Leicester City's Anthony Knockaert is likely to be giving Huddersfield nightmares ahead of their FA Cup clash tomorrow.
That's the view of team-mate David Nugent, who has seen the young Frenchman score four times in the two Championship encounters.
Knockaert produced two stunning individual strikes as City beat the Terriers 2-0 at the John Smith's Stadium, in October.
He then repeated the feat with another double on New Year's Day and set up two more as City hammered Huddersfield 6-1 at the King Power Stadium.
The latest win is part of a dreadful run that has seen Huddersfield win only one game in the past seven, in the FA Cup third round.
They have not won in the Championship since November 10 – a run that saw manager ex-City player Simon Grayson sacked yesterday.
Academy boss Mark Lillis and development coach Steve Eyre will take charge for tomorrow's game.
Nugent believes Knockaert, who has scored seven times since joining City from French club Guingamp in the summer, has a psychological edge over the Terriers after his match-winning performances.
"Anthony has a great record against them and he likes playing against Huddersfield," he said.
"He has scored four in two against them and they will be worrying about that. It will probably be in their minds how good he is and that they know how good we are."
City boss Nigel Pearson acknowledged Knockaert has been in a thorn in Huddersfield's side, but said City carry other potent threats.
"Anthony has been very good in those games but the team has also played very well in the games we have played so far," he said.
"We are in good form and we want to continue the momentum on Saturday. We want to progress in the cup."
Huddersfield defender Jack Hunt said the Terriers owe City one for their humiliating defeat at the King Power Stadium.
"We can win and we'll certainly be using the game down there as motivation, because it was a horrible day," he said.
"Along with our League One play-off final defeat by Peterborough at Old Trafford, it ranks as my worst experience in the game.
"Leicester are a good side, but we can play far better than we have been doing, and we have a chance to go out and prove that."
City have sold out their 4,000 allocation for the game, which is not expected to be threatened by the recent wintry weather.
The John Smith's Stadium has undersoil heating and no disruption is expected from the heavy snowfall expected later tonight.

Asperger's Syndrome News and Research
Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder. It is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), one of a distinct group of neurological conditions characterized by a greater or lesser degree of impairment in language and communication skills, as well as repetitive or restrictive patterns of thought and behavior. Other ASDs include: classic autism, Rett syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (usually referred to as PDD-NOS). Unlike children with autism, children with AS retain their early language skills.

Curling finds fan in Vernon Davis
All-Pro tight end finds unlikely parallels with football
SOCHI, Russia -- Sitting at my first curling match Sunday night, trying to figure out what exactly was happening on the four sheets of ice below, I turned to the die-hard to my right and humbly asked for some help.
I understood the basics of the sport but wanted to know more. Why do the competitors brush so feverishly? How do they effortlessly glide along the ice? And what about those checkered Norwegian pants?
The guru had flown halfway around the world to be here. Used a few days ...

Doesn't hold up over time.
By Thomas from San Diego, CA on 11/4/2012
Like so many of these so called water aerobics shoes, these simply can't stand the test of time with daily use. My first pair fell apart after only two months. The second pair has lasted longer, but are now too loose and slip off of my feet in the water. I wish someone would design a sturdy shoe that can withstand the chemicals and regular use,
great for a low price!

Feels too big because I got a size bigger but it did a good job!
Used as bath shoe, great!

My husband is 84 years old and was petrified of falling in the shower. These water shoes are the best! We have tried to make him feel comfortable and not anxious at shower time, and these water shoes fill the bill in a great way. They are easy to put on, and with the tread on the bottom, he has no fear of falling anymore.

AFC South: Morris Claiborne
That's when James Walker, our AFC East representative, put out the word: "I'm willing to make a trade back with Buffalo at No. 10."
Before anyone could respond, AFC South representative Paul Kuharsky announced he'd swung a deal with Dan Graziano of the NFC East. The Jaguars had traded the seventh overall choice and a sixth-rounder to Philadelphia for the 15th, 88th and 153rd selections.
The Eagles took defensive tackle Fletcher Cox at No. 7.
"By the way," I wrote in an email to the group, "Seattle would love to trade back from 12."
Then came the word from Walker, sent only to me, the NFC West rep: "Don't make your pick at No. 12 yet. I have an offer from New England coming. Working out the point chart. First, I have to figure out Buffalo's pick at No. 10."
A few seconds passed before the AFC West's Bill Williamson, unaware Walker had already made contact regarding the 12th pick, reached out to me in another email.
"If Melvin Ingram is on the board at 12," Williamson wrote, "I might have San Diego come up from 18."
This was intriguing. Seattle's actual leadership had swung a deal with San Diego for quarterback Charlie Whitehurst a couple of years ago, so trade talks for the 12th pick seemed realistic. But the Seahawks also have a working relationship with the Patriots, having traded Deion Branch to them not all that long ago.
"Sounds good," I replied to Bill. "James might also make an offer here."
The potential deal with Williamson and San Diego was fleeting. Walker executed a trade with himself, allowing the New York Jets to move into Buffalo's spot at No. 10. The Jets took Ingram, the player Williamson had wanted for San Diego.
The fun was only beginning.
Our eight divisional bloggers made four trades involving the seventh, 10th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 27th, 31st and 32nd overall choices, plus later considerations.
Five of our first-round selections in this mock failed to appear in our previous one. Jerel Worthy, Kevin Zeitler, Chandler Jones, Shea McClellin and Coby Fleener pushed out Rueben Randle, Andre Branch, Peter Konz, Kendall Wright and Mike Adams.
Courtney Upshaw, Dontari Poe and Stephen Hill made double-digit drops from then to now. Michael Brockers, Cordy Glenn, Stephon Gilmore and Cox climbed at least eight spots since last time.
We drafted seven defensive ends/outside linebackers, six offensive linemen, five defensive backs, four defensive tackles, three receivers, three quarterbacks, two inside linebackers, one tight end and one running back.
Mostly, we had some fun with the process. Thanks for coming along.
ESPN.com's NFL bloggers went through one final mock draft leading up to Thursday's start of the NFL draft. Here is how #ESPNbloggermock played out.
Analysis: We're going to hit at least one of the AFC South's four picks here, so we thank the Colts for that. Luck draws raves from all corners and gives Indianapolis another quarterback who could set high standards for more than a dozen years, like the guy he's replacing did. (Paul Kuharsky)
Analysis: A no-brainer for Washington, which traded three first-round picks and a second-rounder to move into this spot to take the young man they believe will be their next franchise quarterback. Skins fans have already been wearing Griffin's name and face on T-shirts for weeks. (Dan Graziano)
Analysis: I burned up the email lines trying to drum up interest for this pick, much as I imagine Vikings general manager Rick Spielman will do in the coming days and heading into Thursday night. But my colleagues were too smart for that, and I was more than happy to scoop up Kalil and presumably put quarterback Christian Ponder's mind at ease. (Kevin Seifert)
Analysis: Not buying into the Browns' interest in wide receiver Justin Blackmon or quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Richardson is clearly the best offensive player in the draft outside of Luck and RG3. The Browns' struggling offense needs an identity, and Richardson can instantly give it a tough one. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: Once Richardson went off the board, this became an easy call. The Bucs need to add a top-notch cornerback because Ronde Barber is nearing the end of his career and Aqib Talib could face prison time or a suspension. Even if Talib is able to play this season, he's headed into the last year of his contract. The Bucs addressed the position they needed to most. They can get a running back early in the second or third round. (Pat Yasinskas)
Analysis: Blackmon has long been a popular projection for the Rams. I'm not convinced he'll be the choice or even the first receiver drafted, but there was also a fear of overthinking the situation. (Mike Sando)
Analysis: The Eagles fell in love with Cox and were convinced he wouldn't get past Carolina at No. 9. So after the Rams picked Blackmon, Philadelphia offered Jacksonville the No. 15 pick and the No. 88 pick (third round) for the Jaguars' overall No. 7. Jacksonville countered by asking for a fifth-round pick (No. 153) and offering a sixth (No. 176), and the Eagles said yes. They get the guy they wanted and still have their two second-rounders. (Dan Graziano)
Analysis: There was speculation that Tannehill wouldn't make it to No. 8. The Dolphins do the right thing by not trading the farm to move up to No. 3. Miami gets its quarterback of the future to reunite with Dolphins offensive coordinator Mike Sherman. (James Walker)
Analysis: Defensive tackle is a consideration, but Cox is the only sure-fire player at that spot. With him gone, the Panthers go with another low-risk player. Kuechly was exceptionally productive in college and is NFL-ready. He can contribute right away and that's something the Panthers want from this pick. (Pat Yasinskas)
Analysis: Buffalo didn't like its spot at No. 10, and the Jets are hot on Ingram. So the two division rivals worked out a trade. The Jets get the dominant pass-rusher Rex Ryan covets, while the Bills get additional picks in the third, fifth and sixth rounds (Nos. 77, 154, 187). (James Walker)
Analysis: The Chiefs take a sure thing and an instant starter who strengthens a good offense. (Bill Williamson)
Analysis: The Patriots pull off a blockbuster trade with Seattle by giving up their two first-round picks (No. 27 and No. 31) for No. 12 overall and a fourth-rounder (No. 106). The Patriots, who were 31st against the pass, get the best safety in the draft. (James Walker)
Analysis: Floyd is arguably the most promising wide receiver in the draft. He would fit well in the Cardinals' offense while providing better value than the offensive tackles available at this point. (Mike Sando)
Analysis: They wanted Barron, and after the Pats made the bold move to trade up and take him at 12, the Cowboys looked into trading down. But they found no takers, so they took the highest defensive player on their board -- a versatile defensive lineman who deepens them at a key position and allows them to be flexible both with roster decisions and on-field alignments. (Dan Graziano)
Analysis: I didn't get a great haul in the trade. But the Jaguars could consider Gilmore at No. 7 and get him at 15 while picking up a third-rounder and swapping a sixth-rounder for a fifth-rounder. Corner is not the biggest need after the acquisition of Aaron Ross, but no defensive end or receiver screams to be taken at No. 7 or 15. Trade details: Eagles sent 15, 88, 153 to Jaguars for 7, 176. (Paul Kuharsky)
Analysis: Buffalo is happy it moved down six spots and still landed its target in Reiff. Left tackle was a rotating door in Buffalo last season, and Reiff has the ability to be a Day 1 starter to protect Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick's blind side. Trade details: Jets sent 16, 77, 154 and 187 to Bills for 10. (James Walker)
Analysis: Things didn't go as planned in the first half of the draft for the Bengals, who watched guard David DeCastro, safety Mark Barron and cornerback Stephon Gilmore all get taken in the top 15. Defensive end isn't a major need for the Bengals, but it would be hard to resist taking a talent like Coples. Even though Coples has boom-or-bust potential, this is a pick based on best player available. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: The Chargers go for the best value on the board and take an impact defensive player. (Bill Williamson)
Analysis: The Bears were forced to play their starting defensive ends, Julius Peppers and Israel Idonije, on more than 80 percent of their plays last season. Depth, and a possible replacement for Idonije, was sorely needed. Mercilus seemed a better fit than Syracuse's Chandler Jones or Alabama's Courtney Upshaw. (Kevin Seifert)
Analysis: Perry provides a combination of size and speed that should round out the Titans' top four defensive ends and solidifies the position for the foreseeable future. If he can get to the quarterback with some regularity as a rookie, Tennessee can make a nice jump on defense. (Paul Kuharsky)
Analysis: The decision here came down to Glenn, wide receiver Kendall Wright or cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick. You could argue wide receiver is the bigger need, but Glenn is the better prospect. After failing to get DeCastro at No. 17, the Bengals turn to Glenn to make an immediate impact at right or left guard. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: This was a tough call because the Browns need speed at wide receiver, and Wright and Hill are sitting there. But that's the reason the pick is Martin. There are so many more wide receiver prospects available than offensive tackles, so the Browns have a better chance of seeing a wide receiver fall to them early in the second round. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: The Lions' secondary was their weakest link in 2011, and starter Eric Wright signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during free agency. General manager Martin Mayhew isn't a need-based drafter, but the position is a high priority. I had hoped for Kirkpatrick's former teammate Mark Barron here, but he was long gone, and I didn't have the guts to take North Alabama cornerback Janoris Jenkins. (Kevin Seifert)
Analysis: Could the Steelers have envisioned a better draft unfolding than this? Pittsburgh would've been happy with Dont'a Hightower, Courtney Upshaw or even Amini Silatolu. Instead, Poe falls into their laps. He becomes the heir apparent to Casey Hampton. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: The Broncos would have pounced on Poe, but Worthy is a highly valued player who fills a huge hole. (Bill Williamson)
Analysis: The offensive line was a team strength a year ago, but gone are the right guard (Mike Brisiel) and the right tackle (Eric Winston). Houston loves Wisconsin players, and Zeitler will be ready to be plugged right in. We also thought hard about Bobby Massie and Rueben Randle. (Paul Kuharsky)
Analysis: Trading back was the plan all along. Jones has the length Seattle covets in its players on defense (think Brandon Browner, Richard Sherman, K.J. Wright, Kam Chancellor, etc.). Jones also fills an obvious need for a pass-rushing defensive end. Trade details: Patriots sent 27 and 31 to Seattle for 12 and 106. (Mike Sando)
Analysis: There were a number of possibilities here, but defensive coordinator Dom Capers loves to develop wrinkles off his 3-4 base, and McClellin is said to be versatile. It's possible the Packers could trade down and still get him at the top of the second round. (Kevin Seifert)
Analysis: The Ravens are always looking for pass-rushers, and Upshaw gives them another tone-setter on defense. He replaces Jarret Johnson in Baltimore's base defense and plays opposite Terrell Suggs as an edge rusher in passing situations. Upshaw has drawn comparisons to LaMarr Woodley, so you know he's an AFC North type of player. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: The 49ers face a long list of top quarterbacks this season. They lack glaring needs and should be able to find guard help later in the draft. Coby Fleener was a consideration, but the 49ers like their existing tight ends and could extend Delanie Walker's contract. (Mike Sando)
Analysis: The Seahawks need another tight end after losing John Carlson to the Vikings in free agency. Adding Jones at No. 27 gave them flexibility in this spot. Seattle entered draft week with 19 players from the Pac-12. Fleener would give them 20. Trade details: Patriots sent 27 and 31 to Seattle for 12 and 106. (Mike Sando)
Analysis: The Bills aren't done with a busy day of trading. Buffalo gets back in the first round by swapping a second-rounder and two fourth-rounders with the Giants. Hill is a big-play receiver to pair with Bills starter Steve Johnson. Hill averaged an astounding 29.3 yards per catch last season. Trade details: Giants trade 32 to Buffalo for 41, 105 and 124. (James Walker)
Polian doesn't think Jags suffer at No. 7
If those are the first six off the board, what would that mean for the Jaguars?
In a media conference call, Polian said he thinks the quarterbacks and Richardson are the top three players in the draft, and that there is then plenty of top-flight talent all the way down to about No. 20.
"There are guys with really good skills sets, really good measurables, beyond those six," Polian said.
The Jaguars can find a pass-rusher or a receiver who will help them at No. 7, Polian said.
The one thing that could provide a surprise in the draft is the number of defensive linemen who will fly off the board in the first round, Polian said.
Is the seventh pick a particularly bad one?
He posits that there may be just six premium playersin the draft: quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, tackle Matt Kalil, cornerback Morris Claiborne, running back Trent Richardson and receiver Justin Blackmon.
If that is, in fact, how things stack up and the extent of the elite or premium guys, then No. 7 is a terrible draft slot unless there is a major bobble ahead of it.
The Jacksonville Jaguars sit with the seventh pick.
Let's look at that in the best and worst possible lights.
- The best: Only one player at the Jaguars' two biggest positions of need will be gone -- Blackmon. They would have their choice of all the defensive linemen in the draft, the No. 2 receiver or have the luxury of taking the guy they view as the best available player regardless of position. Someone could jump up to take quarterback Ryan Tannehill, meaning one of the top six is still around at seven. Or Tannehill remains on the board and someone wants to trade to No. 7 to get ahead of Miami at No. 8 in order to select him.
- The worst: Defensive linemen are a need for virtually everyone, and that none qualify for one of the first half dozen picks tells us the consensus is the chance at an impact guy are lower than normal. So getting the first end of the draft at No. 7 is no cause for a parade. Nobody moves on Tannehill leaving him for the Dolphins or someone later, and the seventh spot has limited trade appeal.
Do you agree with the idea that the premium territory of this draft is six players deep? Is it more? Less? Chime in on the poll and below.
The NFL's transformation into a pass-happy league has sent teams scrambling for ways to keep up defensively.
Perhaps that explains why defensive linemen and 3-4 outside linebacker types dominated ESPN.com's first NFL Blog Network mock draft for 2012.
AFC West blogger Bill Williamson snapped up three of them for the division he covers. Six other defensive linemen and 3-4 outside linebackers found homes elsewhere in the first round.
Offensive linemen (seven), defensive backs (five) and wide receivers (five) accounted for most of the remaining first-round selections.
In keeping with the pass-oriented theme, Alabama's Trent Richardson was the lone running back selected, landing in Cleveland with the fourth overall choice.
And, of course, we kicked off the mock with a couple of quarterbacks.
Analysis: They look at Luck and see a young guy who reminds them of the quarterback the franchise selected first overall in 1998. (Paul Kuharsky)
Analysis: Not much mystery here. The Redskins traded three first-round picks and a second-round pick to get to this spot, from which they believe they're taking their next franchise quarterback. The only way they don't take Griffin here is if the Colts take him, in which case the Redskins will happily take Luck. (Dan Graziano)
Analysis: The Vikings would love to trade down a few spots, presumably with a team that wants to draft Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill. But barring a deal, Kalil is the best player remaining on the board and the Vikings just so happen to need a long-term starter at left tackle. We're not buying (yet) any of general manager Rick Spielman's posturing about LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne. (Kevin Seifert)
Analysis: Not buying the speculation that the Browns will take Texas A&M QB Ryan Tannehill here. The Browns tipped their hand when coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert skipped Tannehill's pro day to watch Richardson, the draft's only elite running back who can be the centerpiece of Cleveland's offense. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: The Bucs could be considering Richardson and he's a possibility if he stays on the board. But Claiborne is the top cornerback in this draft. The Bucs need a long-term replacement for veteran Ronde Barber and could need a short-term replacement for Aqib Talib, who could face prison time or a league suspension. (Pat Yasinskas)
Analysis: The Rams are eager to find weapons for quarterback Sam Bradford. They had a tough time addressing that area during free agency despite an aggressive approach that led to deals with Cortland Finnegan, Scott Wells and others. The last time the Rams drafted a WR sixth overall, they landed Torry Holt. (Mike Sando)
Analysis: If he catches on quickly and can have an impact as a pass-rusher, Ingram can be the final piece for a very good defense. (Paul Kuharsky)
Analysis: Tannehill shot up the draft boards fast and may be a tad overrated at No. 8. But Miami needs a quarterback of the future in the worst way, and this is the best of what's left. Both Matt Moore and David Garrard have one year left on their contracts, leaving it open for Tannehill to take over in 2013. (James Walker)
Analysis: There's a common assumption the Panthers are locked in on getting a defensive tackle. That could end up happening. But they're open to all options and Kuechly might be the best player available. This team needs help anywhere it can add it on defense. (Pat Yasinskas)
Analysis: Going receiver here is the sexy pick. But getting an offensive tackle to protect QB Ryan Fitzpatrick's blind side is the smart pick. Reiff received great coaching at Iowa, which has become Offensive Tackle U. He closes Buffalo's revolving door at left tackle for the foreseeable future. (James Walker)
Analysis: The Chiefs would be thrilled to see Poe on the board at 11. He is the best player available who fits their biggest need. Poe has a chance to be a dynamic player on a defense full of young talent. (Bill Williamson)
Analysis: The Seahawks ranked fifth in takeaways, seventh in points allowed and ninth in yards allowed last season, but their pass rush was lacking. Coples would give them a badly needed pass-rusher opposite Chris Clemons, who had 11 of the team's 33 sacks during the 2011 season. Linebacker is another need position. (Mike Sando)
Analysis: The Cardinals could also use an offensive tackle and possibly another receiver. Michael Floyd was a consideration here. But in Upshaw, the team would be targeting a potential No. 1 pass-rusher, providing welcome support for promising youngsters Sam Acho and O'Brien Schofield. The Cardinals have no second-round pick, and pass-rush help is at a premium. (Mike Sando)
Analysis: They were hoping Upshaw would fall to them, as he'd upgrade the pass rush instantly and could make Anthony Spencer expendable before long. But with Upshaw gone one pick before, the Cowboys stick with the national champs and take a safety to upgrade their biggest 2011 weakness: the secondary. (Dan Graziano)
Analysis: Michael Brockers was tempting, but the pick here is Cox because he provides a pass rush from the interior of the defensive line right away and could be more NFL-ready than Brockers at this point. The Eagles are a win-now team that relies on its defensive line to pressure the passer, and Cox fits nicely into their interior line rotation. (Dan Graziano)
Analysis: The Jets would like to go defense here under head coach Rex Ryan. But with Alabama DE/OLB Courtney Upshaw and safety Mark Barron both off the board, drafting Floyd is a good fallback option. Floyd has a chance to start from Day 1 opposite Santonio Holmes and gives quarterback Mark Sanchez a much-needed weapon. (James Walker)
Analysis: The Bengals need a starting right guard, and DeCastro is the best guard in the draft. Smart and fundamentally sound, DeCastro is one of the safest picks this year and would extend the Bengals' recent good fortune in the draft. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: Mercilus is the best pass-rusher on the board at No. 18 and the Chargers would be happy to take him. He could be a slight over-draft, but he has big league potential. (Bill Williamson)
Analysis: Coach Lovie Smith expressed confidence last week in left tackle J'Marcus Webb, but rarely will you hear a coach say otherwise until he has an upgraded replacement. Webb was penalized 15 times last season and gave up 12 sacks, according to Pro Football Focus. Martin would provide an upgrade at a key position. (Kevin Seifert)
Analysis: They can go many different directions, but Kamerion Wimbley doesn't solve their pass-rush issues by himself, and Perry can help. (Paul Kuharsky)
Analysis: Cincinnati has done a great job in bolstering the depth at cornerback in free agency, signing Jason Allen and Adam Jones. But the Bengals, who eventually need to replace veteran Nate Clements, can't pass on the second-best cornerback falling into their laps. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: The Browns need speed and a deep threat. Look no further than Hill, who averaged 29.3 yards per catch last season (albeit 28 receptions) and ran faster than Baylor's Kendall Wright at the NFL combine. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: ESPN.com colleagues chose Gilmore in my absence based on an obvious need the Lions have at cornerback. Starter Eric Wright departed via free agency, and the Lions' pass defense collapsed in the second half of 2011. General manager Martin Mayhew doesn't draft for need, but Gilmore would address a big one. (Kevin Seifert)
Analysis: Inside linebacker is a big need for the Steelers after they released James Farrior. Hightower excelled in Alabama's 3-4 defense and was the unquestioned leader on the nation's top defense. Seems like a perfect fit. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: The Broncos would gladly snag Brockers. Defensive tackle is, by far, their most pressing need, and the versatile Brockers is a good value at No. 25. (Bill Williamson)
Analysis: Randle's size will make him a nice target for Matt Schaub and the Texans, and he brings a lot of upside to an offense that's already quite good. (Paul Kuharsky)
Analysis: The Patriots need athleticism on defense and the ability to rush the passer from the outside. Branch can help replace the combined 20 sacks New England lost this offseason with the departures of DEs Mark Anderson and Andre Carter. (James Walker)
Analysis: In my absence, ESPN.com colleagues chose Konz, the draft's top center, knowing that veteran Jeff Saturday is likely a one-year bridge from departed starter Scott Wells. General manager Ted Thompson will almost certainly draft a center, but he might wait until a later round knowing he has 2012 insurance in Saturday. (Kevin Seifert)
Analysis: The Ravens have a history of top prospects falling to them in the first round. Their luck would continue with Glenn, an athletic and versatile blocker who would start immediately at left guard. (Jamison Hensley)
Analysis: Receiver was the team's obvious top need heading into free agency. Adding Randy Moss and Mario Manningham bought some flexibility, but Moss represents a short-term investment. The 49ers could use another young receiver to grow with Alex Smith and, eventually, Colin Kaepernick. (Mike Sando)
Analysis: The Patriots were surprised such a top-end talent is available at No. 31. Sure, Jenkins comes with some character concerns. But New England's strong locker-room leadership will make sure it gets the best out of Jenkins, who has the physical ability to develop into a legit No. 1 corner. (James Walker)
Analysis: This was a tough call, because Syracuse defensive end Chandler Jones just looks so much like a Giants pick. He's a super-athletic, high-upside pass-rusher from Tom Coughlin's alma mater. I mean, if Adams weren't on the board, this would have been a slam dunk. And the Giants still could go this way, or with Nebraska LB Lavonte David or Stanford TE Coby Fleener. But there's nothing wrong with Adams' upside potential, either. He becomes the Giants' starting right tackle right away, and if Will Beatty doesn't pan out, Adams has the ability to someday play on the left side. (Dan Graziano)
RTC: On Indiana's feelings for Manning
Andrew Brandt of the National Football Post looks at the mechanics of the franchise tag.
Houston Texans
Stocks soared for receivers and linemen coming out of the combine according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
Indianapolis Colts
Nate Dunlevy of Colts Authority took offense to this Michael Weinreb piece at Grantland questioning Indiana's affection for Peyton Manning. So Dunlevy seeks to set the record straight.
Jim Irsay rectified his complaint about Manning failing to keep things in-house while talking to the media to discuss elements of the issue with the quarterback.
Jacksonville Jaguars
LSU's Morris Claiborne and Alabama's Dre Kirkpatrick are top corners who could be of interest to the Jaguars in the draft, writes Tania Ganguli.
Tennessee Titans
Keith Millard is another member of the Titans' staff whose résumé includes a highly credentialed playing career, says David Boclair of The City Paper.
Jags may be a few picks late for Claiborne
The Jaguars may be drafting a bit too late at No. 7 to get him, but he'd sure be a great fit. Jacksonville has a quality young corner in Derek Cox. But veteran Rashean Mathis is about to be an unrestricted free agent and is coming off a torn ACL. Even if he's re-signed and recovered for opening day, the Jaguars need their next starting corner on the roster.
Not long ago, Claiborne wasn't even a cornerback. He said he was recruited to LSU as an "athlete" and teammate Patrick Peterson, drafted fifth overall by Arizona last year, convinced him to try corner.
He was quickly hooked.
Regarding the combine, Peterson told Claiborne to "go up and take over."
Claiborne is an admirer of Darrelle Revis and rates himself a technician who funnels receivers rather than being especially physical with them.
He'd be a great piece for the Jaguars. But it may be difficult for him to get beyond Tampa Bay at No. 5.
Early look at Jaguars' potential top pick
The Jacksonville Jaguars would draft fourth.
Their needs, in my eyes, regardless of who's their coach, will be a big-play receiver, a pass-rushing defensive end and a cornerback (as Rashean Mathis is not under contract and will be coming off a torn ACL.)
They could have a shot at the top player at each of those spots.
A quick, early look at the possibilities.
Oklahoma State WR Justin Blackmon
Ranked seventh by Scouts Inc, fourth by Mel Kiper, ninth by Todd McShay.
Kiper says: He should surpass last year's 111 catches, which is remarkable. A better prospect than recent OSU star Dez Bryant. Versatile and explosive and really works to get open. Great ball skills; breaks tackles. Exceptional work ethic.
McShay says: Blackmon continues to show off his ball skills, hands and body control. He's ultra-productive and also has strong character.
LSU CB Morris Claiborne
Ranked fourth by Scouts Inc, fifth by Kiper, third by McShay.
Kiper says: "Just keeps showing up week after week. Big rise so far in 2011; now the top corner here. Exceptional pure cover corner with impeccable instincts at the position. Has solid ball skills for the position. Not a total burner but plenty quick."
McShay says: "Size, speed, fluid hips and impressive ball skills make Claiborne the top draft-eligible cover corner in the nation. He is overshadowed some by playmaking teammate Tyrann Mathieu, but Claiborne is clearly a top-10 talent."
North Carolina DE Quinton Coples
Ranked sixth by Scouts Inc, ninth by Kiper, fifth by McShay.
Kiper says: "Production is down, but skill set is hard to look past. The size and talent are there, but he'll need to add to his arsenal with increased blocking attention. Great size and length to hold the edge as a 4-3 defensive end."
McShay says: "Coples has enormous upside and impressive physical tools, but he needs to play with more urgency over the remainder of the season to maximize his stock."
