Are the Miami Dolphins Considering Contacting Brett Favre? - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

Brett Favre looking to make yet another comeback?

How about one more round, Brett?

With the Philadelphia Eagles almost certain to trade Kevin Kolb when the NFL league year begins, they will most certainly be in the market for an upgrade at the quarterback position to back up Pro Bowler Mike Vick, so why not just replace the name “Kolb” on the back of the number four jersey to say “Favre”?

Howard Eskin of WIP radio in Philadelphia tweeted that the Eagles could have interest in Favre when they trade Kolb (note, he said “when”) but the sticking point obviously becomes whether or not Favre is interested.

Report: Philadelphia Eagles Interested in Brett Favre - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

1). How sweet is it for Packers fans that this year Brett Favre’s body broke down on him, and to top it of he had to watch Divsion rival Packers win the superbowl?

I can only speak for myself, and I wouldn’t say I found it “sweet.” The whole Favre saga saddened me a bit, and I certainly lost a lot of respect for the man, but personally I didn’t take pleasure in watching him break down. I surely enjoyed watching the Vikings Packers stomp on the Vikings, I just wish Favre had stayed home.

2) Is there a better Drafter out there than Ted Thompson? Could you tell us out the Packers front office works on draft day?

Well, I’ve always been a fan of what the Patriots do and how they are able to continually rebuild, but there is a good amount of turnover there. Thompson’s approach is a bit more conservative, and his goal is to develop good players and keep them. He’s always thinking long term. By the time draft day comes around, he has his value board and sticks to it 95% of the time. A perfect example was Aaron Rodgers. Despite what Favre conspiracy theorists think, Thompson was NOT looking to push Brett Favre out the door. But when Rodgers fell, and there were no trade offers (which Thompson admits he was hoping for) he stuck to his system and took Rodgers. How has that worked out?

Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears

Though the Bears are holding a 7-3 record look for them to drop several games down the stretch as they will play the Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Minnesota Vikings, and Green Bay Packers. After they drop their record their draft position will move up enabling them to get a higher pick. But for now they sit at the lower third of the drafting order. Beyond quarterback the Bears have a huge need at the wide receiver position. The Bears have been talent thin for years with wide receivers so look for them be interested in the best receiver available, preferably Julio Jones of Alabama but he more than likely won’t be available when the Bears pick.

Detroit Lions

The Detroit lions have many positions they can fill come draft day. In a way is a good problem because they can take the best athlete available. And baring an historic comeback the Lions should be near the top of the draft board so they will be in a position to pick one of the best players. Out of all the needs finding an offensive lineman to protect their young QB Matthew Stafford and RB Jahvid Best should be high on their list. Look for the Lions to be interested in OT Derek Sherrod of Mississippi State or OT Gabe Carimi of Wisconsin come draft day.

Updated NFC North Team Needs - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

1. New England Patriots-  The Patriots have continued their move to the top team in the NFL.  Brady has been very sharp and the collection of role players have infused a must in attitude.  You have to love watching Woodhead score a touchdown and then make a tackle on the ensuing kick off.

2. New York Jets-  Some how the Jets keep pulling off these nail bitters but that is the mark of a good team.  However, I do have some concerns about the offensive production.  If they face a team that puts some points up on their defense they could struggle to catch up.

3. Atlanta Falcons-  The combination of Roddy White and Matt Ryan is defiantly in the discussion for the best young duo in the league.  This is going to be a team nobody wants to face in the playoffs.

.

4. Baltimore Ravens-  The Ravens defense has taken some criticism this season but they are still creating turnovers.  The key to this team is going to be how well Joe Flacco finishes down the stretch.

.

5. Philadelphia Eagles-  Mike Vick looks like the real deal.   There are many defensive coordinators having a lot of sleepless nights!  However, with his playing style you always have to worry about injuries.

.

6. New Orleans Saints-  The Saints are starting to reach their stride as they make their playoff push.  The defense continues to be very aggressive which helps the offense keep the pressure on.

.

7. Pittsburgh Steelers-  The Steelers just pounded a much improved Oakland team.  The Steelers defense is the stuff championships are made of so Pittsburgh fans should be optimistic.

.

8. Green Bay Packers-  Green Bay has endured through major injury crisis and look to be a potential playoff threat.  Aaron Rodgers has looked much better the last few games improving on his early season accuracy struggles.

.

9. Chicago Bears-  I know the Bears beat Miami with their 3rd string quarterback but they did what they were suppose to do, shut him out!  If Jay Cutler can take care of the football this defense will take them places.  Does anyone else feel that Chicago is the best fit for Cutler, because the defense makes up for his mistakes by creating turnovers of their own.

.

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-  This team can’t be for real, can they?  I am really a big supporter of what Raheem Morris has done with this team.  The players really respond to his style of coaching.

NFL Power Rankings: Week 12 - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

Favre had a horrendous game as he completed merely 17 of 38 passes for 208-yards with one interception. He was pressured on nearly every drop back as LB Clay Matthews, DT Ryan Pickett and rookie LB Frank Zombo provided a pass rushing assault on the 41-year old quarterback. And the Vikings running game was of little help also as RB Adrian Peterson had only 14 carries for  73-yards as he was stopped within 3-yards on a majority of his runs with the exception of a few  carries. The non-existence of a running game and a violent Packer rush attacked forced Favre to rush throws and become extremely inaccurate
