Reporter: “There’s speculation that you may not want to go to Washington. Do you want to just squash that?”

Charles Davis on the OT market in the first round: “It’s going to be really hot…I think the run starts somewhere around 15 and goes into the early 20s.”

Had @gregcosell
and others talk up TCU TE Jared Wiley late in the process. The Commanders brought in the
6-foot-6 Wiley target for a 30. Wiley had an FBS-leading five red zone touchdown receptions last season.pic.twitter.com/96MjSi6wZj— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) April 24, 2024
I ride with @dpbrugler and he’s the highest I’ve seen on Marshawn Kneeland. More DE than edge. Limited numbers a but concerning but this is an upside thought should Washington snag him in the 2nd.pic.twitter.com/pgN3tM7X0T

Sources: The #Lions have a deal for one of the top young talents, agreeing on an extension for WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. He gets 4 years and more than $120M with $77M guaranteed.
The deal done by @JobyBranion of @VanguardSG makes St. Brown the highest-paid WR in the NFL. pic.twitter.com/EIoBNU6jJw

Missed this from earlier, but using Mockdraftable percentiles and the consensus big board, here are the 32 corner prospects on the board and if they pass/fail the 50th percentile arm length test.
(I gave those close to 50% a pass) https://t.co/KpLTludn1M pic.twitter.com/m4gjXE7fRe
