NFL Rumors: Draft, 49ers, Cowboys, Ravens

Draft

• Adam Schefter spoke to one NFL GM on Tuesday who estimated that there is a “50 percent chance” that four quarterbacks will be selected in first five picks on Thursday.
• Ian Rapoport reports that N.C. State DE Kentavius Street underwent successful ACL surgery last week and is expected to make a full recovery. In fact, Rapoport adds that Street should still be drafted, despite the major knee injury he recently sustained.
• According to Tony Pauline, Temple DL Jullian Taylor scheduled last-minute workouts with the Titans, Patriots and Eagles.
• South Dakota State WR Jake Wieneke is drawing interest from the 49ers, Texans, Jets, Ravens, Vikings, Saints, Panthers, and Dolphins. (Darren Wolfson)

49ers

• Tony Pauline reports that the 49ers “covet” Virginia Tech LB Tremaine Edmunds and would likely be their pick at No. 9 overall if he’s still available to them.

Cowboys

• Sources tell Tony Pauline that the Cowboys are believed targeting DT Vita Vea, LB Leighton Vander Esch and WR D.J. Moore in that order at No. 19 overall.
• We have the Cowboys taking Vander Esch in our latest 2018 NFL Mock Draft.

Ravens

• Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com reports that Alabama WR Calvin Ridley and DT Da’Ron Payne are both in play for the Ravens at No. 16 overall.
• According to Pauline, the Ravens are as desperate to come out of the draft with a tight end as some have assumed.
• Interestingly enough, Pauline says that there’s a belief the Ravens could sign WR Eric Decker to a contract at some point in the near future.
