NFL Draft Buzz
Our draft coverage continues as we have updates on some of the biggest names and teams selecting in the top 10 of the draft. Who are the four players the Rams are considering with the top pick and will Mike Holmgren pull the trigger on a QB in the first round? Which teams have their eye on Derrick Morgan and will Anthony Davis fall out of the first round?
St. Louis Rams
The Rams are reportedly talking to the agents for Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Ndamukong Suh, and Gerald McCoy. Bradford is still considered the front runner to be the top pick and likely will be barring any unforeseen complications in his Pro Day workout. The fact that Clausen’s agent is involved in the conversation leads one to believe that the Rams want to take a quarterback with the top pick.
Cleveland Browns
The Browns are reportedly looking long and hard at long term quarterback solutions. Mike Holmgren is said to be high on Sam Bradford, but he will surely be gone by the time the Browns select at #7. It is believed that Holmgren is not quite sold on Jimmy Clausen but is reportedly starting to warm up to the idea of drafting him. The Redskins are thought to be interested in Clausen as well so the Browns may have to move up to get him. The Browns are also looking at Colt McCoy as well and Holmgren is said to be interested in him as a potential second round selection.
The consensus seems to be the Browns are looking at Florida’s Joe Haden with the seventh pick. There are also reports out there that the Browns will be hosting Eric Berry on April 8th.
Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals will be hosting Texas safety Earl Thomas on April 1st and 2nd for a personal workout and interviews. Safety is a need for the Bengals this spring, but Thomas is not guarantee to still be on the board at 21. The Bengals are also reportedly looking at picking up a TE or WR in the draft to help Carson Palmer out.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs are reportedly considering Alabama’s Terrence Cody with the 36th pick in the draft. There is growing speculation that Cody may not be on the board when the Chiefs turn comes up in the second round though.
New England Patriots
The Pats are reportedly showing a strong interest in USC tight end Anthony McCoy. Do not be surprised if they use a second round pick on the versatile TE.
Derrick Morgan
Morgan has already met with the Dolphins and Seahawks and is meeting with the Browns and Buccaneers in the near future. It is interesting that the Jaguars have not come calling as Aaron Kampman is not necessarily going to be a long term solution for them.
Anthony Davis
Anthony Davis has not done any favors for himself during the pre-draft workout sessions. He showed up to the combine looking overweight and out of shape and then bailed on Rutgers’ Pro Day claiming he was not feeling well. Davis was once in the conversation as possibly being the first tackle off the board now there is some speculation that he may fall out of the first round altogether unless he wows folks at his private workout this week.
Dan LeFevour
Central Michigan’s Dan LeFevour’s stock is continuing to slide. He had a so-so workout at the combine and a woeful Pro Day. He reportedly threw the ball all over the place and blamed his poor performance on not being in “mid-season form” with his receivers. Most teams will see that as a pretty flimsy excuse. What has he been doing in the weeks leading up to his Pro Day? The fact that the workout was scripted makes it even worse. He knew exactly what was going to be expected of him ahead of time and failed to deliver. He was once seen as a potential second or third round pick but now has likely slipped to the fourth or fifth round.
LaGarrette Blount
The Buccaneers and the Steelers have reportedly set up meetings with Blount. It is not thought that anyone will risk a high pick on Blount and he is seen as no better than a fifth rounder right now.
