5-22-08 Weekly Mailbag

Recently I have came up with a new idea for me to do on the blog. That is for a weekly mailbag. Just send me your NFL questions and I will answer them on the blog. To get your question answered, send it to askfbkid@yahoo.com and they will be featured in the weekly mailbag. Since this is the first mailbag their isn't many questions but as your questions come in the mailbag will only improve.


Clearly Jake Long did the right thing by returning for his senior season at Michigan. What do you see in store for Chad Henne and Mike Hart?
While you're thinking about the Maize and Blue, what's in store for Manningham and Arrington?
-Mark,FL


FB: I feel that Henne could end up being a very good starting quarterback in the league as he has a strong arm,leadership and experience in big games. Henne also has experience in a pro style offense. He might not play for the Dolphins this year though as right now it's John Beck's job to lose. Beck is the only guy left on the team who started for them last year and even though he isn't a Bill Parcells type of quarterback,they will still give him a very good look. Beck I think will start for the Dolphins this year but Henne is the guy for the future.

Hart has a very good chance of becoming one of the steals of the draft in Indianapolis. As I mentioned in my AFC Draft grades article Kenton Keith is replaceable and Hart is good enough to come in and get 5 to 10 carries a game.

Manningham though could be a absolute stud in New York. He is now going to the defending Super Bowl champs and will get taught the game by Amani Toomer and Plaxico Burress who are both very good receivers. Manningham looked good in the first mini camp but he got hurt in the process so we will see what happens.

Arrington has the potential to be a very good player and could be another Marques Colston like find for the Saints in the 7th round. The only problem is the Saints are deep at receiver and character is a concern. The Saints haven't gotten anything out of last years first round pick at receiver Robert Meachem who didn't even step on an NFL field last year. At this point Arrington is more of a developmental project and should start off this year on the practice squad.


That is all for the first mailbag. Remember to send in your NFL questions to askfbkid@yahoo.com and they will be answered on the blog just like this one.
