The 75th NFL Draft is Thursday night and as happens with the fast approaching date, rumors are flying around television, Internet, and phone lines. Here's a taste of the talk via this NFL Draft update: news about Conte Cuttino, Tim Tebow, and The Philadelphia Eagles.
If you remember my blog post on Stony Brook University Running Back Conte Cuttino, the 4.4 quick speedster overlooked by a number of draft experts, a source close told me that Cuttino's being looked at closest by the teams in the East: the New York Jets, New England Patriots, New York Giants, and the Philadelphia Eagles. No, not the Buffalo Bills on the list. As to where Cuttino may go, he looks to be taken in the 3rd round, but with leaks about the condition of Cal Running Back Jahvid Best, Cuttino could move to as high as the 2nd round.
There's a hot rumor that the Buffalo Bills are sold on Florida Quarterback Tim Tebow, so much that they're willing to trade into the 1st round to get him.
Oakland Raiders Head Coach Tom Cable said Offensive Tackle's a priority for the Raiders. Many expect the Raiders to take Maryland left tackle Bruce Campbell. But that may be a smokescreen because Bruce Campbell did not perform well on the intelligence test called The Wonderlic, the 50-question document that's more cultural test than real I.Q. exam, but NFL teams place so much value in.
Bruce Campbell placed below the average score for offensive tackles in the 2010 NFL Draft, posting an 18 versus an average of just over 20 for all. So, hold a star by what Cable tells you; it's not certain.
Another hot rumor by ESPN's Adam Schefter is the Eagles are looking to move up to the 12th pick in the first round of the Draft. But what they will do is another guess. The Eagles have 11 picks in all for the 2010 Draft, which gives them currency to deal.
Stay tuned.
