It's been a rough few weeks for Geno Smith. He received a predictably scathing scouting report from Pro Football Weekly, he dropped to the second round in the NFL draft, and then parted ways with his agents after it was decided that they didn't serve him all that well leading up to the draft. So now it's time to pile…

A.J. Francis was a four-year starter at defensive line for the Maryland Terrapins. He was not selected during the NFL draft last weekend, but he did sign a free-agent contract with the Miami Dolphins on Saturday. His day only got better from there.

Geno Smith fell to the second round of the NFL draft, 39th overall. It wasn't unfathomable, but it was toward the most pessimistic end of the most pessimistic projections. Then, weird stuff happened: Smith fired his agents. His agents went to the media, anonymously claiming that Smith was disappointed he didn't go…

Geno Smith thought he deserved to be drafted No. 1 overall. He was drafted 39th. Thanks to the rookie wage scale, that difference is in the millions of dollars. So he's fired his agents.

You may have watched Thursday night's first round of the NFL draft, on either ESPN or the NFL Network. Most of you didn't though, so we got our hands on the the transcripts to let you know what you missed.

The New York Jets drafted Geno Smith with the 39th pick Friday night and that sound you heard was the sharpening of knives as media types prepare to dine on what remains of Mark Sanchez. Then they'll turn to Geno Smith.

Bray did sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, though. This draft was light on quarterbacks, maybe light on everything but the big guys, and that figured to be a good thing for Tennessee's junior quarterback. As it turned out, a weak quarterback class meant that quarterbacks went ignored.

Why, hello!

When Manti Te'o got a phone call from a California number last night he said he thought he was being pranked. Turns out it was just the Chargers.
