Boy, it sure was nice to have the NFL Network for free last year! This year, they took it away on Comcast down here. Fortunately for draft geeks like myself, NFL.com is streaming their combine coverage live online at no cost. I'm following it here.
It's so great that some websites offer combine coverage for free, unlike ESPN which forces you to get Insider if you want Kiper and McShay's opinions on what is going on. Screw that! I kind of hope this hurts ESPN in the long run. To be fair, they are running their blog for free, with a wealth of information on the combine.
A few links to good draft coverage elsewhere-
T.R. Taylor's "Draft Talk: The Great Offensive Tackle Debate" at Bleacher Report: Breaks down this year's interesting offensive tackle class, where Jason Smith of Baylor, Andre Smith of Alabama, Eugene Monroe of Virginia, and Michael Oher of Ole Miss are battling for the top spot.

(Pictured: UNC's Hakeem Nicks, one of my favorite wideouts this year along with Crabtree and Percy Harvin, who is really more of a WR/RB prospect)
RANDOM ADD: This is why Jim Calhoun is one of the best coaches in college basketball. You tell 'em, Jim!
