NFC Notes: Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Washington

Cowboys

Cowboys VP Stephen Jones said owner Jerry Jones is intrigued by Florida TE Kyle Pitts.

โ€œThese mismatch tight end players can make a big impact on offensive football,โ€ Jones said, via Jon Machota. โ€œHeโ€™s a unique player that doesnโ€™t come around every year, and Jerry was acknowledging that.โ€

  • NBC Sportsโ€™ Peter King thinks the Cowboys could be a spot teams are eyeing to trade up for a quarterback on draft night if one starts to slip. 
  • Jones also said one of the Cowboysโ€™ goals in the draft is to improve on defense, but wouldnโ€™t rule taking an offensive player if a dynamic one falls to them. (Machota)
  • Jones also admitted that the team has received calls for the No. 10 overall pick. (Michael Gehlken)

Eagles

  • Sports Illustratedโ€™s Albert Breer says the Eagles have explored potentially trading back into the top ten, which Breer thinks would be for a cornerback. 
  • Although, Breer adds the Eagles have also explored trading down again after dropping from No. 6 down to No. 12. 

Giants

Washington

  • Sports Illustratedโ€™s Albert Breer reports Washington director of college scouting Tim Gribble was at Ohio State QB Justin Fieldsโ€˜ second pro day last week. 
  • JP Finlay said not to read much into Washington not attending North Dakota State QB Trey Lanceโ€˜s second pro day since OC Scott Turner, GM Martin Mayhew and Gribble were all at the first.
  • Finlay also said that attending this pro day could tip Washingtonโ€™s hand if they want to trade up for Lance. However, it remains a โ€œmysteryโ€ what Washington will do in the first round.
  • Finlay mentioned that even though QB Alex Smith retired, he still counts as $8 million against the cap in 2021.
