- Two (2) timeouts per team per half.
- 10-minute halftime.
- No contact allowed on quarterbacks. Referee will stop the play.

It's also been amended to the press release. Both parking and admission are free. Fan activities start around 5pm and the Warrior Bowl starts at 7pm. Be there!

In anticipation of the draft, The Warrior Beat hosted a chat with sports editor and NFL draft guru Curtis Murayama, who gave his thoughts about where he thinks the Warriors will go.

Crazed Warrior fan and NFL draft junkie Jeff T sends along this compilation of Warrior info from draft magazines he's been reading. Here it is in full:

Sporting News Draft Magazine- usually my favorite, but it seems about a month out-of-date even though it came out 4/11.
(No one was included in their 3 round mock draft, but Brennan was in one article, a small feature piece, and some other small stuff)
Brennan- rated 4th QB, 119th overall, 4th round pick
Rivers- rated 35th WR, 184th overall, 5th round pick
Bess- rated 38th WR, 220th overall, 5th round pick
Grice-Mullen- rated 40th WR, 243 overall, 6th round pick

Pro Football Draft Guide Magazine- decent on ratings, a little off though. LOTS of stats on guys.
(2 players included in 7 round mock draft- Brennan in 3rd to Carolina, Grice-Mullen in 6th to Miami)
Brennan- 4th rated QB
Grice-Mullen- 21st rated WR
Bess- 25th rated WR
Rivers- 33rd rated WR

Pro Football Weekly Draft Paper- fairly recent, players are pretty much where they should be.
(No one was included in their 1 round mock draft)
Brennan- 15th rated QB
Bess- 31st rated WR
Grice-Mullen- 41st rated WR
Rivers- 45th rated WR
Satele- 26th rated OG
Purcell- 45th rated DE
Lafaele- 29th rated DT
Patek- 31st rated SS

USA Today NFL Draft Preview Paper- nothing special
(No one was included in their 2 round mock draft)
Brennan- 9th rated QB, 137th overall, 4-5th round pick
Rivers- 33rd rated WR, in the 201+ overall range
Grice-Mullen- 35th rated WR, in the 201+ overall range
Bess- 37th rated WR, in the 201+ overall range
Satele- 27th rated OG, in the 201+ overall range

I've also heard on ESPN that Mel Kiper Jr thinks Brennan is a late (6-7th round) pick or maybe a free agent.

Nice work. Can use that to compare with what actually happens this weekend. Should be fun!

GO WARRIORS!!!!
