A thread for tidbits of Draft and NFL news in the week leading up to the draft.

 

_______________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Peter King is reporting that the Eagles are so hyped to get a prime wide receiver in this draft that they might actually trade up to do so.  Their likely target: Odell Beckham.

 

Gil Brandt believes it's possible Khalil Mack gets taken ahead of Jadaveon Clowney.  There's even some speculation that Mack could go number one overall to the Texans.

 

Adam Schefter has reported that Miami OT Seantrel Henderson tested positive for marijuana at the Combine.  Henderson is the guy who also failed to finish his own Pro Day workout.

 

Ian Rapoport, citing Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle, is hearing that the Raiders have completely ruled out taking a quarterback as an option at number five.  They've said differently in prior reports. 

 

Mike Mayock thinks it's possible Nebraska corner Stanley John-Baptiste winds up being taken in the first round (he's generally been rated in the second or third).  As a big corner, the success of Richard Sherman has helped his stock a lot.

 

Mayock also speculates that Notre Dame tackle Zack Martin could be taken somewhere between nine and thirteen.  Mayock called Martin "as safe a player as there is in the draft".

The Eagles have signed a guy named Allejandro...but not that one.

 

Allejandro Villanueva is a 6'9, 277 former Army Ranger who did three tours of duty in Afghanistan.  He's also a former offensive lineman at West Point who got a shot with the Bengals a few years back but didn't catch on.  He went to the Super Regional Combine as a tight end, but the Eagles are signing him as a defensive lineman.

Kiper and mcshay just did their risers/fallers on sportscenter. Allen Robinson listed as a riser and said he would most likely come off the board early 2nd round. Also mentioned fuller as a riser and said possibly mid 1st. Mentioned Ebron as a faller. Said mid to late 1st

If Ebron falls to 28 we take him, right?

Do you take him over a guy like Allen Robinson?

 

If we are simply looking at BPA then yeah, I would.

 

The only thing that worries me is how he'd fit in Shula's scheme. Olsen lining up in a traditional TE spot on the line with Ebron out wide or in the slot would be a nice combo considering how much Cam loves throwing to his TEs (look at Shockey and Olsen duo).

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
