Diabetic QB says he should have seen warning signs
Jay Cutler realizes he should have recognized something was wrong last season when lost 35 pounds and some zip on his famous fastballs. "I had no energy," the Denver Broncos' third-year quarterback said Friday. "We thought it might be stress and the grind of going through a whole season.

Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, his business manager Marty Garafalo confirmed Thursday night.

2008 NFL Draft pick-by-pick analysis: Round 2
Pick-by-pick analysis: Round 2 Pick Team Player Pos. Height Weight School 32. Dolphins Phillip Merling DE 6-4 282 Clemson Two words scared everyone about Merling: sports hernia. At Top 15? Not worth the risk. Here? An absolute steal. Parcells addresses O-Line and D-Line with Miami's first two picks. No shocks there. 33. Rams Donnie Avery WR 5-11 186 Houston If you polled a hundred draft "experts" before the Draft and asked them who the first wideout off the board would be, absolutely none would have said Avery. He's a speedster, though, and can stretch the field for the Rams. DeSean Jackson keeps slip slidin' away. 34. Redskins Devin Thomas WR 6-2 215 Michigan State Washington's patience pays off, trading back and getting the top wideout on most teams' boards at 34th overall. Thomas has size, a rarity for Redskins wideouts, and can likely play right away. At 6'2, he's a great target for Jason Campbell. 35. Chiefs Brandon Flowers CB 5-10 189 Virginia Tech Brandon Flowers slips to 35, where the Chiefs scoop him up. A star at Virginia Tech, a few subpar workouts turned the cornerback into a second-round selection. DB is a need for K.C. and Flowers makes perfect sense. 36. Packers Jordy Nelson WR 6-2 217 Kansas State I love this pick. Nelson, one of my "sleepers" all pre-draft season, is a giant target with hands of glue. The Kansas State kid caught 122 balls last season, saving his best for the Wildcats' biggest games. Another target for Aaron Rodgers to grow with in Green Bay. 37. Falcons Curtis Lofton LB 6-0 238 Oklahoma The Falcons' linebacker corps are pretty solid: Boley, Brooking and now Lofton. The Big Twelve Defensive Player of the Year may be a bit short for the NFL, but he's a tackle machine. … [Link]
