Best of Day 1 at NFL combine: Top risers, how best prospects fared |
Running backs and offensive linemen went through workouts at the NFL combine on Friday, the first day of drills for the top prospects for the 2018 NFL draft. ESPN NFL draft experts Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay recap how the best backs and linemen -- including Saquon Barkley, Sony Michel, Orlando Brown and Quenton Nelson -- fared, and Scouts Inc. analyst Steve Muench breaks down the under-the-radar prospects who are rising up draft boards. We'll also look ahead to Day 2 of workouts, as the quarterbacks, receivers and tight ends will participate http://www.officialwinnipegjetsstore.com/authentic-26-blake-wheeler-jersey.html in testing and drills on Saturday.
McShay: As I'll touch on below, my biggest takeaway was that Barkley was as advertised. He crushed his workout and is the clear No. 1 running back prospect. I was also impressed with the athleticism some of the developmental offensive linemen exhibited. Desmond Harrison (Western Georgia) and Brian O'Neill (Pittsburgh), among others, had terrific days.
Kiper: Barkley was the biggest story of the day -- he was phenomenal. But UCLA offensive tackle Kolton Miller was the second-biggest story of the day. He had the best workout of any of the offensive linemen, showing supreme athleticism for a guy in a 6-9, 309-pound frame. I had Miller in the first round of my latest Mock Draft, and he showed why on Friday.
This comes a few weeks after Carruth, scheduled to be released in October, sent a letter to WBTV in Charlotte, saying he planned to pursue custody of his 18-year-old son. Carruth has spent the past 17 years in Sampson Correctional Institution in Clinton, North Carolina. He was found guilty in 2001 for conspiracy to murder his pregnant girlfriend in 1999.
Cherica Adams died in the hospital after being shot multiple times by Van Brett Watkins, who was hired by Carruth. She was pregnant with Chancellor, who as a result of the shooting was born prematurely. He has cerebral palsy. "For all involved or invested in this ordeal, please calm down," Carruth wrote in the letter to the newspaper. "I will no longer be pursuing a relationship with Chancellor and Ms. Adams. I promise to leave them be, which I now see is in everyone's best interest."
Carruth wrote that including in the first letter his desire to enter Chancellor's life was a mistake and he admitted that was too optimistic, even though he still wants to "make amends with Chancellor and try to be the father that I should have been from day one.'' "I now understand that any notions of me one day being welcome to Sunday dinner is totally out of the question," Carruth wrote in the second letter, which was postmarked Feb. 21. "And lastly, I didn't foresee the media and general public being unanimous in its belief that I shouldn't be allowed to ever have anything to do with Chancellor."
"I'm a big believer, you don't just blindside a player like that if that happens," said Pederson, asked if Foles will have a say in his fate if a potential trade comes up. "I think you've got to have that open communication with him. And we'll see, we'll see where it goes. Howie just mentioned, we'd love to have everybody back, but we know the nature of the business. We'll talk about it before, if and when the time comes."
Foles stepped into the starter's role when Wentz tore his ACL in December and helped guide the Eagles to their first Super Bowl title. He threw six touchdowns to just one interception in the playoffs and went blow-for-blow with Tom Brady in the championship game, throwing for 373 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.In the final year of a two-year contract, Foles comes with a 2018 cap hit of $7.6 million. He is a pricey No. 2, but he more than showed his value this past season. With Wentz still rehabbing from a torn ACL and LCL, it's important that the Eagles have a good insurance policy heading into the season.
Roseman noted that he thinks Sudfeld, the 24-year-old out of Indiana whom they picked up in September after the Washington Redskins released him, has the tools to potentially develop into a starter. Depending how ready they feel Sudfeld is, there is logic in dealing Foles while he's at his peak value, especially considering the Eagles don't have a second- or third-round pick in the upcoming draft.
The Eagles are in a position of strength when it comes to Foles. Donatas Motiejunas Womens Jersey They'd be in great shape with the Super Bowl MVP in the fold for another season but can deal him if an offer comes around that's simply too good to refuse. By the sounds of it, they're leaving their options open.Sando: Miami Dolphins. I think the Dolphins are motivated to trade Landry, but how many teams will be motivated to acquire -- and then pay -- a limited receiver deemed expendable by his own offensively anemic team? Landry ranks third in receptions since 2014 with 400. However, he has only five scoring receptions on passes that traveled at least 5 yards past the line of scrimmage. That is tied with Tavon Austin, among others, Brad Daugherty Jersey for 121st in the league over the past four seasons. Schatz: Baltimore Ravens. Quarterback Joe Flacco is the king of short completions that aren't actually successful plays for the offense. It's only appropriate to give him the top receiver in short completions that aren't actually successful plays for the offense.
Seifert: Ravens. Flacco led the NFL in 2017 with 241 attempts that traveled 5 or fewer yards past the line of scrimmage. If he's going to throw short passes, the Ravens might as well pursue a slot receiver who excels at catching them.Yates: Chicago Bears. There might not be a team more desperate for depth at wide receiver than the Bears, whose depleted core hamstrung rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in 2017. http://www.officialcowboysfootballauthentic.com/COWBOYS-COLE-BEASLEY-JERSEY Chicago has the Denzelle Good Jersey cap space to acquire Landry, who would get a lot of targets under new coach Matt Nagy. wholesale jerseys from china wholesale nfl jerseys from china wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys
