Myles Jack told SiriusXM NFL Radio (Twitter link) that he has only worked out for the Dolphins and Saints so far. The UCLA linebacker, widely considered to be one of the top talents in the 2016 draft, is pegged to go No. 2 overall to the Browns in PFR’s (v. 1.0) mock draft. The Saints (No. 12 overall) and the Dolphins (No. 13 overall) may have to move up in the draft order if they want to land the athletic prospect.
Here’s the latest NFL draft news:
- LSU linebacker Deion Jones has already visited the Saints, Ravens, and Jets, according to Rand Getlin of NFL.com (on Twitter). Jones is now set to visit the Eagles and Colts this week. He also had solo workouts with the 49ers, Dolphins, Titans, Lions, Falcons, and Panthers (link).
- Louisiana Tech defensive tackle Vernon Butler visited the Seahawks on Monday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). After that, he has the Lions on Tuesday, the Buccaneers on Wednesday, and the Bills on Thursday.
- Utah running back Devontae Booker will visit with the Dolphins on Tuesday and also with the Patriots later in the week, Rapoport tweets.
- Baylor wide receiver Jay Lee has visits lined up with the Ravens, Browns, and Seahawks plus private workouts for the Patriots, Cowboys, Lions, Seahawks, and Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle tweets.
- San Diego State offensive tackle Darrell Greene visited the Vikings and Chargers and he’ll have private workouts with the Texans, Browns, Eagles, Colts, and 49ers, Wilson tweets.
Dolphins traded away Any opportunity to draft in the top ten for two bad players what is the sense in this futile waist of time they still act as though they have the 8th pk
I don’t think the deal was that? Are Alonso and Maxwell top players at their positions? No, but they are starter-caliber players and the Dolphins were able to get both in exchange for moving down 5 spots in the draft. Also the team should be doing its due diligence in looking at all guys…you never know who is going to drop to you. Leonard Williams was widely regarded as the best prospect in last years draft yet he fell all the way to 6.
Isn’t Jones a linebacker?
Yep, that’s been fixed, thanks.
Players fall all the time, ask the Packers (Aaron Rodgers)! All teams should at least look into 1st round guys!
