The team needs depth behind starter Ryan Mathews, and though rookie Edwin ‘Rock’ Baker is expected to contribute as a third-down back, the team still has a glaring need to fill on the depth chart.

There are few things more disgusting than a robbery that affects the family of a man who just died, but that's what happened last week to the family of Junior Seau. Just five days after the great linebacker took his own life, some sorry excuses for humanity broke into Seau's home , went through cabinets in the garage, and stole a bicycle that belonged to a friend of Seau's. Oceanside police Lt. Leonard Mata said that the stolen bike is gray with chrome fenders and a black seat, and there are 143 spokes in each wheel. Whoever broke in didn't enter the house -- just the garage. Nothing else was taken. The estimated value of the bike is approximately $500. [ Related: Junior Seau was gregarious, ebullient, hilarious and immensely popular ] On May 2, at approximately 9:35 a.m., Seau's girlfriend placed a 911 call indicating that she had found the body of the future Hall of Fame linebacker in a spare bedroom of his home. The death was suspected to be, and was later ruled, a suicide. Seau, a 12-time Pro Bowler and six-time First-Team All-Pro, was selected fifth overall in the 1990 NFL draft after an outstanding collegiate career at USC. He played with the San Diego Chargers through the 2002 season, spent 2003-2005 with the Miami Dolphins, and then signed with the New England Patriots in time for the 2006 season. In New England's perfect regular season of 2007, he played in all 16 games and started four. Seau first retired after that season, only to come back and play for the Patriots in 2008 and 2009 before finally leaving the NFL for good. "I'm going to go surf," he told Showtime upon his January 2010 retirement announcement. "Whatever happens, I can honestly say, that that probably was my last game."

Tue, 15 May 2012 16:10:06 PDT http://SorenWinslow.com/GoToRSS.asp?TheLink=http%3A%2F%2Fus%2Erd%2Eyahoo%2Ecom%2Fsports%2Frss%2Fnfl%2FSIG%3D13ocgjbud%2F%2Ahttp%253A%2F%2Fsports%2Eyahoo%2Ecom%2Fblogs%2Fnfl%2Dshutdown%2Dcorner%2Fwes%2Dwelker%2Dsigns%2Dfranchise%2Dtender%2Dannounces%2Dtwitter%2D184738580%2Ehtml Since he came to the New England Patriots in 2007, Wes Welker has been about as productive as a receiver can be. In five seasons, he's caught 554 passes for 6,105 yards (an 11.0 yards-per-catch average) and 31 touchdowns. He's redefined the role of possession receiver in some of the most productive offenses in league history, and he's far from done. In 2011, Welker caught 122 passes -- the second most in his career, and good enough to lead the NFL in receptions for the third time in the last five seasons. So, it was a bit surprising when the New England Patriots decided to place the franchise tag on Welker instead of signing him to a new long-term contract. "I'm pretty certain I'll be playing there this next year, and I'm looking forward to that," Welker told Shutdown Corner in April . "Like everybody else, I'd like a long-term deal, but at the same time, I'm just focused on going out there and playing the best I can." After biding his time, Welker signed his tender on Tuesday, and announced it on Twitter . Confident that a new deal is around the corner, and unwilling to  create distractions as organized team activities begin soon, Welker is now looking forward to what he perceives to be a willingness on both sides to get that new contract hammered out. "I think we are all on the same page," he told WEEI on Monday . "We're all trying to collectively come together and make something happen. I think everybody just seems to know we're all on the same page and we're trying to work towards something. "I think anybody that plays for any organization that has done a good job over the years wants to be rewarded for it. I think I'm no different from any other guy that's in the league. The main thing is just trying to keep a level head about it and make sure you're making the best decisions for yourself, but at the same time put yourself in a position where you can play for a great team and hopefully do some great things in the future."

Instead of dwelling on what is gone from his life, Harris told the Chicago Sun-Times that he is working to honor her memory by building a school in the Sudan. Harris wants the school to serve girls who have been abused or enslaved by Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army. He will name it the Ashley Harris Sunshine School, and he hopes to build many more across the continent. He and Ashley took two trips to Africa through Pros for Africa , a not for profit that describes its mission, "connecting professionals of all fields with the children of Africa." She was affected by the people she met in Tanzania and Uganda, and PFA appreciated her work so much that they dedicated this year's medical expedition through northern Uganda and South Sudan to her. PFA has experience in school building , and Harris has enlisted friends from the NFL to donate. Matt Forte, who was Harris' teammate when he was with the Chicago Bears, has already signed on as a donor. Considering the large NFL contingent that reached out to Harris after her death, and his many fans in Chicago and San Diego, Harris shouldn't have a hard time getting enough money to build the school.

On the list are LSU QB Jarrett Lee, Houston RB Mike Hayes, six receivers, three offensive linemen and three defensive backs. All that remains is to see if one or more makes the final 53-man roster; at least one UDFA has made the team's final roster in each of the last 15 seasons.

After seeing the top two prospects (Mark Barron and Harrison Smith) go off the board in the first round, A.J. Smith ensured he didn't lose No. 3. Smith traded away a sixth-round pick to move up five spots in the third round and grab Brandon Taylor.

The surprise came in the position, as San Diego opted for DE Kendall Reyes instead of addressing the secondary. Reyes is a stellar run defender with good suddenness and hustle; he will be in the rotation on the defensive line, which continues its ongoing youth movement.
