Robison hits rookie wall: At first glance, Minnesota Vikings defensive end Brian Robison doesn't look like a fourth-round draft pick. In the NFL, rookies selected in the middle to late rounds are usually supposed to be seen and not heard. They are supposed to sit quietly and learn from the veterans around them, with their mouths shut and their eyes open. Then there's Robison, a former Longhorn defensive end who is about as bashful as a San Antonio used car salesman, with a swagger as big as Texas. "When you're around B-Rob, you don't see him as a fourth-round pick. You might mistake for a first-rounder," defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said with a smile. "He has a great attitude and he has a lot of confidence." (Updated 12/06/2007).

Fantasy Analysis
In his first eight games in a Vikings uniform, Robison wasn't playing like a fourth-rounder, either. He had three sacks in limited duty during four preseason games, then three more in his first four regular season games. The Vikings had an idea of what they were getting when they traded up to the top of the fourth round to grab Robison, but his smooth transition from the Big 12 to the NFC North was no less surprising. Then, just like that, he kind of disappeared. Robison has just 1 1/2 sacks in the last eight games for the Vikings, leading some to wonder if he hit the infamous "rookie wall" that can plague first-year players not used to the longer, more grueling NFL season. Robison is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy DL at this time. (Updated 12/06/2007).

Kansas City's looking pretty good with its Jared Allen trade to Minnesota.
The Chiefs could end up drafting Chris Long, too, Pete Prisco says in his draft notebook, while
the Fins may go after Jake Long's Michigan teammate, Chad Henne.
