NFL Notes: Draft, Buccaneers, Eagles, Seahawks

Draft

  • Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com polled five executives about who they view as the best defensive back in this yearโ€™s draft class. Ohio State S Malik Hooker and LSU S Jamal Adams both got two votes while Ohio State CB Marshon Lattimore came away with one vote.

Buccaneers

  • The Buccaneers worked out Ashland TE Adam Shaheen on Friday. (Brad Gagnon)

Eagles

  • Eliot Shorr-Parks writes that the Eagles could end up coming away from this yearโ€™s draft with two running backs and completely overhauling the position.
  • Shorr-Parks considers it โ€œunlikely, but impossibleโ€ that the Eagles will use their first-round pick on a running back.
  • He suggests either taking Tennesseeโ€™s Alvin Kamara and Texasโ€™ Dโ€™Onta Foreman or a combination of Pittsburghโ€™s James Connor and San Diego Stateโ€™s Donnel Pumphrey in the middle round of the draft.

Seahawks

  • Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times writes that there are still positions the Seahawks could address in the weeks leading up to this yearโ€™s draft including receiver, backup quarterback, and defensive line.
  • Seattle brought in WR Kamar Aiken for a visit, but he elected to sign with the Colts last week. Rod Streater has also been linked to the Seahawks, but thereโ€™s hasnโ€™t any buzz about him in recent days.
  • Condotta mentions that Colin Kaepernick is an unlikely option for the Seahawks, given that heโ€™s likely targeting more money than Seattle is willing to spend on the position and canโ€™t offer him even an opportunity to compete for the starting job.
  • As for defensive line help, Condotta could see them re-signing veteran DT Tony McDaniel, who played pretty well for them last year. Otherwise, this could be a position they fill in this yearโ€™s draft.
