Cowboys Cherish Extra First-Rounder

Jerry Jones will spend almost as much time next season rooting against Cleveland as he will rooting for his Dallas Cowboys. That's because the Cowboys now have the Browns' first pick, courtesy of Cleveland's desire to get back into the first round of last weekend's draft to grab Brady Quinn as he went into free-fall. Dallas finally gave the Browns the pick they needed to take the Notre Dame quarterback — for Cleveland's first pick next year.

Character a Big Player in NFL Draft

The trade of Randy Moss from Oakland to New England says a lot about the way the NFL treats character — or characters. When Moss was traded to the Raiders two years ago, the Vikings got back a first-round pick and a starting linebacker. On Sunday, the Patriots got him for a fourth-round choice, largely because he dogged it in Oakland, where the worst work ethic in the NFL overrode his huge talent.

NFL Teams Juggle Drafting and Character

The Cincinnati Bengals could use a cornerback, although after being subject to nationwide ridicule for having nine players arrested last season they almost surely will pass on UNLV's Eric Wright.

Column: NFL Balks at Equalizing Overtime

It really should be simple. If nearly two-thirds of the NFL's overtime games last season were won by the team that won the coin toss, why not try to do something about it? Nope. As they often do, the league's owners, coaches and general managers decided to put off what they couldn't agree upon — even something as simple as moving up the spot of the overtime kickoff 5 yards.

Column: More Scrutiny or More Offenses?

Marvin Lewis invoked Paul Brown, who founded the Cincinnati Bengals, to explain why his team has had so many off-field problems.

Column: Goodell an Easygoing Tough Guy
