COMBINE...THIS WEEK, Ladies and Gents

[Superman55]

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.

From @RapSheet and me: Per the Leon County jail, FSU CB PJ Williams -- a prospective 1st-rounder -- was arrested for DUI at 3:08 AM today.


Albert Breer @AlbertBreer · 3h3 hours ago

There were already off-field questions on PJ Williams. Had a run-in with the law in the fall. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/11/15/sports/ncaafootball/for-an-fsu-football-player-a-hit-and-run-becomes-two-traffic-tickets.html?referrer=&_r=0 …

Just posted this in PDS FSU thread...rd3 and down, take him. Bowles did an awesome job with Mathieu after all his issues at LSU, I believe he can help this kid too if the price is right where we get him...

 

[Football51]

I wonder if he did this because he's hearing the Bucs may be going in a different direction?

What do you guys think of White over Cooper? I don't know White well at all, but I hear comparisons to TO?

Prefer Cooper if we have to go WR

Prefer the two QBS and Fowler, Williams or Beasley and maybe Ray over the two receivers

Starting to think that Hyatt could be onto something with taking Dupree at #6 .

Someone posted an awesome Stat not too long ago about the pass rushing prospects and added Gholstons college stats next to them. One thing that was interesting was Dupree was the leader in tackles of all OLB prospects and Beasley was the lowest. One thing that was interesting is tackles shows a large number of football plays beyond sacks...thething that was interesting is Gholstons had a low number of tackles outside of sacks (I think less than 20 total)...that's a bad sign, IMO. One thing Dupree has is a large number of tackles (74) to go with his energy and effort. I do think he'd be an intriguing pick if the coaching staff loves him and signs off on the pick.

Breshad Perriman - WR - Player
SI's Peter King says Central Florida WR Breshad Perriman has at least two teams in the teens "looking seriously at him."
Perriman's Pro Day times of 4.19 and 4.27 at 6'2/212 have his stock on the rise. Just about every team in the teens could use difference-making WR help, but the 49ers (No. 15) and Browns (No. 19) stand out. Perriman is the son of ex-Lions WR Brett Perriman.



Nelson Agholor - WR - Player
USC WR Nelson Agholor is moving up draft boards in part because teams reportedly think he can play inside and outside with equal effectiveness.
Agholor's buzz continues to get louder as we get closer to the draft. He's not particularly big (6'0/198) or exceedingly fast (4.44), but was dominant as a slot receiver at USC (104-1,313-4) and can also return kicks at a plus level. If Chip Kelly thinks Agholor can play outside as well as inside, it's possible he'll take the plunge at No. 20 overall.



Melvin Gordon - RB - Player
SI's Peter King says Wisconsin RB Melvin Gordon won't get past the Ravens at No. 26 overall.
In other words, the Ravens are willing to spend a premium pick at running back and like Gordon. It makes sense, with 29-year-old Justin Forsett on top of the depth chart and only Lorenzo Taliaferro/Fitzgerald Toussaint behind him. Candidates to select Gordon before he falls to the Ravens at 26 include the Chargers at No. 17 and Cardinals at No. 24. The Cowboys, at No. 27, also have a major need at running back.

Marcus Mariota - QB - Player
The Chargers are conducting a private workout in Eugene with Oregon QB Marcus Mariota Tuesday.
Perhaps HC Mike McCoy, OC Rich Reich, QBs coach Nick Sirianni and a bunch of front office members are just doing their due diligence. Or maybe the trade rumors flying around Philip Rivers and the Chargers have some legs. The narrative states that Rivers doesn't want to move to Los Angeles and the Titans, holding the No. 2 overall pick, want a proven veteran to stabilize their quarterback situation. "Many close to the situation believe the Chargers head to Oregon while considering the notion of a draft-day trade," says the Union-Tribune San Diego. Any potential deal hinges on Mariota falling to No. 2, as San Diego is reportedly not interested in Florida State QB Jameis Winston.

Panthers tempt fate, work out Southern Cal’s Nelson Agholor

The Panthers obviously need to upgrade their receiving corps, but apparently they’re considering tempting fate to do so.

Via Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer, the Panthers are working out Southern Cal wide receiver Nelson Agholor Thursday in Tampa.

Agholor is an intriguing prospect in his own right, as a slot receiver who might pair well with last year’s first-round pick Kelvin Benjamin.

But if he slipped to their spot in the second round, the Panthers should run, not walk, in the other direction.

The Panthers thought they had keepers in second-round Trojans wideouts Keary Colbert and Dwayne Jarrett, but both flopped for different reasons.

Colbert was actually quite good as a rookie (47 catches for 754 yards and five touchdowns), but never repeated that form the rest of his career.

Jarrett was a disaster from the start, getting a couple of DUIs, finding himself in Steve Smith’s personal doghouse and catching a grand total of 35 passes in four years.

And sure, maybe Agholor has nothing to do with either of those guys. But if the Panthers aren’t gunshy about USC receivers, maybe they should be.

Dolphins bringing Melvin Gordon in for a visit next week

Posted by Darin Gantt on April 14, 2015, 12:44 PM EDT
Melvin Gordon

Melvin Gordon might not be the best running back in the 2015 NFL Draft, but he’s drawing plenty of interest.

Via Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Gordon will visit the Dolphins next Wednesday, and has already checked in with the Ravens, Jaguars and Cowboys.

Of course, it’s been reported that the Ravens, picking 26th, are the floor for the Wisconsin running back, so it’s interesting to see which other teams in the middle of the first round are interested.

The Dolphins, picking 14th, have more pressing needs, such as wide receiver and cornerback.

But Gordon also has the potential to be a workhorse back, and that will interest a number of teams in that neighborhood, especially if they’re uncomfortable with drafting a back with an existing knee injury (Todd Gurley).

This time of year, the term "rising up draft boards" means "draft experts are finally catching up with scouts and coaches."

List of players attending the draft.

Winston to watch draft with grandmother in Florida and Mariota to watch draft from native Hawaii.

Even without them, the list is a little light. If they don't add more names, there will be multiple picks in round one without the player present.

Looks like all the top pass rushers are there, even my man Colling OT LSU is there...other than Cooper, is there someone else I missed?
