Dear faithful readers:

There will be no Daily Dropback tomorrow, Friday, April 11. Your Dropback Doer, Joel, is hosting a bachelor party for his brother, and will be incapacitated.

That, however, certainly does NOT mean you can't enjoy today's links!

(SI.com was not loading from my machine today, so if the list seems bare, I apologize.)

THE PROS
Reports: Dolphins talking with Vernon Gholston, Jake Long.

Three years to evaluate a draft? Well, let's look back at 2005 then!

And, a 2005 re-do! Shawne Merriman is No. 1.

Despite another surgery, Kevin Everett seems to be doing well.

Ranking the draftable quarterbacks.

Speaking of, Matt Ryan would be a natural fit for Baltimore. But it's unlikely to happen.

COLLEGES
Does Urban Meyer have a new workhorse back? Of so, is he smart enough to learn the offense?

Good grief: Bethune-Cookman quarterback charged with attempted murder.

Kansas is prove positive that success in football and basketball is plenty possible.
