Although they knew he suffered them, the severity of WR Percy Harvin’s migraines surprised the Vikings.
————————
They should’ve interviewed him or something.

Niners offensive line coach Mike Solari will run combine drills at that position, which is helpful since the team could use a tackle.
They most have more then 1 coach running the offensive line drills because the Eagles offensive line coach Juan Castillo does it every year and Im watching him run the drills right now as right this.

“Chiefs G.M. Scott Pioli got testy after being asked several questions about what’s wrong with the Patriots.”
One would have to be a fool to believe the Patirots 2007 and 2008 drafts were weak.
The 2007 draft produced three (3) Pro Bowl players (Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Brandon Meriweather) for the Patriots and led to the Patriots going 16-0 that year. Trading draft picks counts to the value of a draft.
The 2007 draft produced the the NFL defensive rookie of the year (Jerod Mayo) plus four (4) additonal players that made the team. They also picked up a starting linebacker as a rookie free agent.
You can’t pick a TomBrady every year in the sixth (6th) round, nor can you turn a seventh (7th) rounder (Cassel) into a trade for a top of the second round pick every year.
Not to mention how the Patriots effectively use their draft pciks without burdening the team financially.
I read all the time on PTF about the Patriots’ poor drafts and how they are a team in a major decline. Some of the people on PFT are dumb as wood.
They have 12 players from the 2009 draft on the roster, not counting the back-up quarterback they picked up as a rookie free agent.
The Patriots have four picks in the top 53 this year, in a draft that experts say is the best crop of talent in 32 years. That is not an acccident.

Re: Shanahan visiting the Patriots practice.
…. Shanahan was REALLY impressed with how Belichick was able to accidentally draft future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady in the sixth round and change himself from a below average coach to a media (and self) proclaimed genius.
Shanahan added “If I could have somehow done that after Elway retired I wouldn’t have been fired from the Broncos in the first place!”
