Usually, we see 32 take the stage. The list has 26(Winston/Mariota would've made it 28). So, there are four more teams(actually picks as some teams don't have a first rounder) as of now(in addition to the teams taking the qb's) who won't have a player present.




Here's Daniel Jeremiah's top 50.

Eh, back in the day it was only top 10 players that attended and started crying after they fell out of the top 10, remember? Now everyone gets invited, like elementary school sports teams. The only worth while players I see missing are the qbs and cooper, if the Packers, Broncos, and Pats picks aren't there, who cares? They are borderline Rd 2 guys anyway. I'm just an old goat sometimes I guess...from a personality standpoint anyway. :)

Vic Beasley, Amari Cooper visiting Titans on Wednesday

The Buccaneers are expected to pick Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston with the first overall pick on April 30, but there’s less certainty about what the Titans plan to do with the second selection.

They could take Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, trade the pick to someone who is willing to pay a heavy ransom for the chance to pick Mariota (or, conceivably, someone else) or pick another player in the event that the first two options don’t strike their fancy. With so much up in the air, it makes sense for the Titans to know as much as possible about the top players in the draft since they could wind up in play for the Titans at a variety of spots.

Two of those players will be visiting with the team on Wednesday. Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean reports that Clemson linebacker Vic Beasley will be in Nashville, where he’ll join Florida’s Dante Fowler and Missouri’s Shane Ray as pass rushing prospects who have met with the Titans.

The other visitor plays on the other side of the ball. Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper will meet with the Titans, just as West Virginia’s Kevin White did recently. All of the possibilities, which also include USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams, make it hard to guess which direction the Titans will go when push comes to shove in a little more than two weeks.

These last couple weeks before the draft are the longest part of the offseason for me...worse then the few weeks before training camp. Every year, the same thing...it's like the last 2 weeks before Christmas when you were a kid anticipating presents...so eager to see which college products hopefully positively impact your roster. Man...next week is going to be a slow torture...:)

Titans bringing DeVante Parker in for a pre-draft visit

If the Titans are trying to keep everyone guessing about their intentions, they’re doing a decent enough job.

Via Ian Rapaport of the NFL Network, they’re bringing Louisville wide receiver DeVante Parker in for a visit, when he finishes a trip to see the Rams.

Looking at a first-round wide receiver isn’t a bad idea for the Titans, especially if they choose to entrust their quarterback position to Zach Mettenberger.

But Parker’s generally considered a mid-first-round choice, a click below Amari Cooper and Kevin White. That’s not to say he’s not a talent, but few think he’s a viable second-overall pick.

More likely, he’d be a target if the Titans trade the second pick to someone wanting a quarterback, and move back deeper in the first round. And now that everyone knows they’re looking at Parker as a possibility, maybe the phone rings with an even better offer.

Latest draft buzz on Bud Dupree

The Baltimore Ravens, always looking to keep their defense strong, could target a pass-rusher early in the 2015 draft.

Kentucky's Bud Dupree is one of the top options in that regard, and Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta gave the OLB/DE a nice review last week.

“Bigger guy, extremely athletic, tremendous combine workout,” DeCosta said, per CSNBaltimore.com. “Another guy, he can play in space, he’s got size, he matches up very well in coverage versus tight ends, which is unusual to find an outside linebacker who has that.”

The Ravens hold the No. 26 pick in the first round, but Dupree may not last that long, and the Ravens arguably have more pressing needs.

"Odds still favor the Ravens taking a wide receiver or cornerback at No. 26. But the Ravens lost linebacker Pernell McPhee, who had 7½ sacks last season, to the Bears in free agency," wrote Clifton Brown of CSNBaltimore.com. "The Ravens’ top two pass rushes are both over 30 years old– Terrell Suggs (32) and Elvis Dumervil (31).

"If Dupree is still on the board after the first 20 picks, it will be interesting to see if that changes the Ravens’ thinking. Especially with the owner saying another pass rusher would be welcome."

Larry Holder of the New Orleans Times-Picayune has the New Orleans Saints taking Dupree at No. 13 in a mock draft released Thursday.

ESPN NFL Insider Mel Kiper Jr., playing the role of general manager in his "Grade A" mock draft, has Dupree going to the Cincinnati Bengals at No. 21, five spots before the Ravens' selection:

Mel Kiper Jr.
Kiper's 'Grade: A' mock draft
"I'm committed to adding a pass-rusher, and Dupree isn't exactly a steal at No. 21, but I figured it was only a 50-50 shot that he'd get to this point, so it's not a difficult call given how bad the pass rush was last season. He doesn't come in with an arsenal of moves, but he's an exceptional athlete and certainly adds upside where we're currently lacking it."

Bud Dupree - LB - Player
Coach Sean Payton said it's important for the Saints to draft some defenders who can play "right away."
Saints ace beat writer Larry Holder released a mock draft Thursday that has New Orleans selecting Kentucky linebacker Bud Dupree and UCLA ILB Eric Kendricks with the Nos. 13 and 31 picks in two weeks. Dupree's stock has steadily been on the rise, and he has a chance to be a top-10 pick. Kendricks is the brother of Eagles ILB Mychal Kendricks. Eric is viewed as the top inside linebacker prospect in what appears to be a weak draft class at the position.

Poindexter - if you're around, what do you think of Phillip dorsett? Just he heard him on Sirius and love the kid. They asked him what he'll be doing during the draft, and he hasn't decided yet, but his two options are attending (he received an invite) or going bowling with his family. Very down to earth guy. I like him a lot as a prospect now. He's grown on me the last couple weeks. I think Beasley Rd 1 and Dorsett Rd 2 would be something I'd be happy with.

Rams add Brett Hundley, Garrett Grayson to workout list

Posted by Josh Alper on April 17, 2015, 7:01 AM EDT
Brett Hundley
AP
UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley wants to hear his name mentioned alongside Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston and we’re going to make that wish come true.

Sort of, anyway. Hundley isn’t going to be under consideration for one of the first few picks in the draft like the other two quarterbacks, but he is right next to them on the list of players who have worked out or are scheduled to work out for the Rams.

The Rams worked out Mariota in Eugene, Oregon on Thursday, have a workout scheduled with Winston and Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Hundley is on the docket as well. Thomas also reports that the team will work out Colorado State’s Garrett Grayson along with a previously reported visit with Baylor’s Bryce Petty.

It’s the kind of approach you’d expect the team to take based on coach Jeff Fisher made a vow to draft a quarterback earlier this offseason. With the 10th pick, the Rams aren’t likely to take one in the first round but the other three quarterbacks (and perhaps Oregon State’s Sean Mannion as well) will all be in play as the draft moves into the second and third days.
