his latest mock (Mar 17) has us taking 6-2/212 WR Breshad Perriman of AAC Co-Champs UCF (who didn't work out at Combine due to hamstring, but his Pro Day is tomorrow), writing: "Carolina went with a wide receiver in the first round a year ago, and I expect a repeat. Though offensive line remains a glaring issue, Perriman is the type of selection who can further elevate quarterback Cam Newton's game. A 6-2, 215-pound specimen, he's a wild-card prospect who has some scouts' mouths watering and others calling him a project. He didn't compete at the Combine, even further making his first-round grade a difficult one to cement. Perriman isn't a household name, but I like the fit for Carolina." his 1st R WRs: #4 Kevin White - "has all the tools" #10 Amari Cooper - "a rare talent" #11 DeVante Parker - "can end up jumping even Amari Cooper" #12 Jaelen Strong - "has a lot of upside" #25 Breshad Perriman #31 Dorial Green-Beckham - "no questions as to whether he can play the game" #32 Nelson Agholor - "best player available...Agholor at 32nd overall would be quite a haul" http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/nfl-mock-draft-jameis-winston-marcus-mariota-leonard-williams-kevin-white-amari-cooper-031715 UPDATE: and now, in his April 13 Mock, he has us taking an OT

Collins is a 1st R safety as a run stopper but not a 1st R safety in coverage. Plenty of mocks have him falling to us.I have a whole thread on it on the draft board

neither are projected Top 15. More like Top 25. But Wayne has a much slimmer chance of falling to us than Collins

Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com wrote this about Landon Collins today: "Collins can play safety on run downs and slide down to nickel linebacker in passing situations" http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/mock-drafts/daniel-jeremiah/245602 I'd like that

Solid chance Collins will be their at #25. And good chance he won't be the BPA available at #25

Fox 29 Philadelphia Howard Eskin @howardeskin 2h I'm told by #NFL source that #cowboys Greg Hardy could get as many as 12 gm suspension after investigation at owners meetings in Phoenix.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Moeaki is the second tight end the Falcons have signed today, following the acquisition of Jacob Tamme earlier today. The team now has three tight ends who will essentially be duking it out for a starting job, and even if one guy clearly emerges with the job, you should expect to see all three utilized in Kyle Shanahan's offense. http://www.thefalcoholic.com/2015/3/19/8259471/tony-moeaki-signs-with-falcons-may-step-in-as-starter-at-tight-end

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet Wow. Day 3 of NFL Draft will feature teams announcing their picks from facilities or other locations (draft parties). That’s new.

Turtle and the Hare is what i keep thinking about. The rabbit is flashy and exciting, the turtle is old and boring. But the turtle knows how to pace himself and wins in the end

at end of 2013 season, PFF profiled Ball in their Secret Superstar series: "[ball] finally got some substantial playing time in 2009 [ball's 3rd season in the NFL] ... in 2010 [balls's 4th season in NFL], Ball gradually became the weakest link in Dallas’ pass coverage. Historically more of a press-man outside cornerback, Ball looked lost playing deep in space. His -8.0 coverage grade that season was fourth-worst of any safety in the league. ... the seven touchdowns he allowed tied for the most at his position. He was demoted to backup cornerback in 2011 [balls's 5th season in NFL], spent some time miscast in the slot, and again posted a negative coverage grade. The damage had been done, and Ball entered free agency in 2012 as a low-valued commodity. [in 2012, Balls's 6th season in NFL] Ball followed his former head coach Wade Phillips to the Texans, where he was once again relegated to special teams duty and had his lowest defensive snap total since 2008. ... [in 2013, Balls's 7th season in NFL] Ball won a starting job in training camp [in Jacksonville] and was reliable for the first half of the season before going on an impressive run down the stretch. He finished with seven positive coverage grades in his last eight games ... his +4.9 coverage grade put him in the Top 20 at his position. For perspective, that was the same grade notched by the more-heralded Alterraun Verner. Ball allowed just two touchdowns in coverage and a reception for every 13.0 coverage snaps, the 10th-best rate among 81 qualified cornerbacks. ... What stands out on Ball’s film is how good he uses press-bail technique to prevent deep passes. On the 15 plays he faced Deep Targets last season (passes 20+ yards past the line of scrimmage), he allowed three completions and a 36.9 passer rating. A perfect example came in Week 11 vs the Cardinals, with 0:22 left in the second quarter, when Ball lined up in press, matched Michael Floyd stride-for-stride on a go route, and knocked the ball away as soon as it arrived. ... With another year in this system and a seemingly improved defensive line in front of him, don’t be surprised if this veteran Secret Superstar carries his newfound success into 2014 [balls's 8th season in NFL]" https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/05/23/secret-superstars-2014-jacksonville-jaguars/

Sports Illustrated Chris Burke @ ChrisBurke_SI 11m Well worth a shot. Good player when healthy. [in response to: Panthers reach one-year deal with Alan Ball]

NY Daily News Ebenezer Samuel @ ebenezersamuel 3h Random observation: Hakeem Nicks remains available on the free agent market. That one-year, prove-it deal in Indy didn't exactly pay off...
