NFL Notes: Draft, Chargers, Cowboys, & Jets

Draft

Mike Mayock mentioned Thursday that teams drafting in the latter portion of round one now believe there’s a chance that Nebraska DE/OLB Randy Gregory could fall to them.

“I’ve had a bunch of teams in the bottom half of the first round going, uh oh, we’ve got to be all over this guy from our owner, because you might have to bring him into this conversation, from our owner down to our coaching staff,” Mayock said, via Pro Football Talk.
