The Bengals were in heavy pursuit of Maxx Crosby earlier this offseason, per @TonyPauline “The Bengals were unwilling to match the pair of first-round picks the Ravens initially sent to Vegas for Crosby before a failed physical nixed the deal.” The team has since acquired Dexter Lawrence.
The Saints will likely wait until Day 2 to select a WR, per @TonyPauline “The team told agents they did not intend to spend big or position too many assets at the WR spot, considering the money they would have to spend to keep Olave.”
The Jets could move back from pick No. 16 in the NFL Draft, per @TonyPauline It will likely be to a team that wants to jump Detroit and select an offensive lineman. “Conventional wisdom says the Lions will take either Kadyn Proctor or Monroe Freeling with the 17th pick.”
If Dallas can’t secure one of the Ohio State LBs or Reuben Bain, they may look to offense at pick No. 12, per @TonyPauline
Two defensive players the Cowboys have been interested in are: Oregon S Dillon Thieneman Toledo S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (via @TonyPauline) Dallas has No. 12 & 20 in the draft.
Quick notes from @DanGrazianoESPN : - Expects 7-10 offensive lineman to go in the 1st round - Cleveland wants to exit first round with OT & WR - Colton Hood could be second CB taken due to Jermod McCoy’s knee condition - Wouldn’t be shocked if Seahawks took RB Jadarian Price - Matt Patricia says S Caleb Downs is also best Punt returner in draft - Cowboys more likely to move back from 20, than they are to move up from 12
The Cowboys do not want to trade both No. 12 & No. 20 to move up for just one player, per @DanGrazianoESPN “A small move up from No. 12 that doesn't involve No. 20 seems possible if they feel like one of their preferred targets is within range.”
At pick No. 7 - the Commanders have their eyes on: Jeremiyah Love Carnell Tate Sonny Styles Caleb Downs (via @DanGrazianoESPN)
