Draft Spotlight- Day 5: Cordarrelle Patterson from The Mothership

Cordarrelle Patterson (pronounced "CORE-dare-uhl") is one of the two 'most explosive players in the draft', according to NFL Network's Mike Mayock, who named WVU WR Tavon Austin, as the other.

Chiefs: Brad Childress Hired As 'Spread Game Analyst' from CBS Sports

The team didn't specify what exactly Childress' responsibilities will be, but it's probably safe to say, Childress will be looking to help implement the spread offense in a way that works to the strengths of new quarterback Alex Smith. Smith ran a version of the spread at Utah under then-coach Urban Meyer, so he does have some familiarity with it.

NFL Draft Buzz: 49ers, Dolphins Looking To Trade Up? from NFL.com

The former league scout pegged the Dolphins as one of three teams poised to trade up. Miami, in theory, wants to hop in front of the San Diego Chargersat No. 11 for the chance to land one of the draft's top three offensive tackles. "All signs point toward" the Kansas City Chiefs grabbing Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel at No. 1, according to Jeremiah, but that still leaves Central Michigan's Eric Fisher and Oklahoma's Lane Johnson.

Carson Palmer, Darren McFadden Holding Back Oakland Raiders from NFL.com

Looking for nuggets of futility? When it comes to McFadden, there are plenty. Do you realize he topped 100 yards rushing just three times last season (with two coming against the lowly Kansas City Chiefs)? Likewise, he topped 20 carries in just three games -- or one fewer than he missed entirely with injury. Then there's my personal favorite: In seven of the games in which he actually played, McFadden averaged less than 3 yards per carry.

"He's been through a lot being a San Francisco 49er through all the boos and in the last year, the year before that he's been through so much. I wish him success with the Chiefs, man."
