Hopefully that means they've got insight into him going in round one - preferably early. Couple guys on that list who could wind up sitting around for a while, including Griffin.

On the heels of breaking the story on Kentavius Street last night we’ve been notified of another potential injury which took place during a private workout.
On Monday the Detroit Lions traveled to Wisconsin where they worked out fast rising safety Natrell Jamerson, cornerback Nick Nelson and several other Badgers.
Three unrelated sources tell me Nelson hurt a knee during the workout. I'm told it was nothing major and Nelson is still getting the injury checked out but some believe it was very likely meniscus related.

The hand aside, he's going to have to excel in the pros doing things he hasn't really shown he could do in college. He seems like a good kid, natural leader, and obviously a spectacular athlete, but it's hard to see him going in the first, and even the second seems high.

Because I’m 90% certain that a minimum of 4 QBs will go in the top 5. Chubb and 4 QBs will make up the top 5. I also think that there will be a 5th QB that will end up being drafted within the top 8 (due to trades and what not). If/when that happens (5 QBs, James to the Bucs, and Chubb at #4) then that tells me that Nelson or Barkley will fall to #9.
1. Browns - QB 1
2. Giants - QB 2 - still a toss up. They can go everywhere IMO still but leaning at QB.
3. Jets - QB 3 for their sake, the best one of the bunch after trading all those picks.
4. Browns - RB 1 / DE 1
5. Broncos - CB 1 no QB imo after signing Chase.
6. Colts - OL 1 / RB 1 / DE 1
7. Buccaneers - OL 1 / DE 1
8. Bears - ????
9. 49ers -
I guess you might be thinking of someone trading up to get QB#4? Unless you believe Broncos going QB...

The NFL probably forced or coerced he and his family to accept their invitation for this event. He has no shot of going in round one. The cameras are going to give them EXTRA attention making it a story within a story. I don’t want to come off as sounding like a careless prick. But they're going to oversatuate his story and I really don’t believe that the extra media attention is coming from a sincere place, but rather for the ratings. That’s just my opinion.

I know that made a couple of you fellas cringe. Pozz, Sick, Ray, and Crims.

To be fair to some of these guys who were sent invites. The NFL no longer places sole emphasis on just inviting the guys who they believe will be 1st-round picks - early or late. They are moving towards being in the story business as you also said. Back in the day it was almost exclusively about getting those guys invited that they thought would come off the board quickly. They've moved away from that exclusively. It's an apples to oranges comparison if anybody wants to compare the two time periods.

A minimum of four QBs in the top five? It's absolutely possible, but a minimum? I'd consider it a surprise, frankly. We'll see. It's an interesting year for QBs, but that would be a lot. And five in the top-ten would be something of a shock without an incredibly active top of the draft. I'd love to see it happen, I'm just not counting on it at all.
