— Want the next Tyron Smith? According to one NFC team scout I talked to this week, just draft Ole Miss tackle Laremy Tunsil: "He's Tyron 2.0. Big, mean, athletic. The total package."
— The No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL draft is for sale. That's according to multiple general managers I spoke with this week. The belief is that in a class that's described as "flat," there is no can't-miss player for the Tennessee Titans to draft at the top of the order. They're willing to move the pick to a team in need of a quarterback.
— The general consensus in talking to NFL scouts this week is that a quarterback will go No. 1 overall after someone trades up with the Titans. The most common answer to which player that will be is Cal quarterback Jared Goff.
— The LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide always dominate the recruiting rankings, but the internal recruiting done by head coaches Les Miles and Nick Saban has been impressive. LSU will keep star linebacker Kendell Beckwith and cornerback Tre'Davious White after both considered leaving early for the NFL, and Alabama returns anchors O.J. Howard (TE) and Jonathan Allen (DE) to an always loaded roster.
— The 2016 linebacker class is stacked with Jaylon Smith (Notre Dame), Myles Jack (UCLA) and Reggie Ragland (Alabama) all ranked inside my top 15. The last time that happened? 2014, with Khalil Mack, C.J. Mosley and Anthony Barr.
— Vernon Adams finished the year hot at Oregon, leading to manyquestions about his NFL draft stock. One scout in attendance at the East-West Shrine Game practices in St. Petersburg, Florida, this week texted me that Adams "won't be in the NFL in two years." With a small frame (5'10 ½", 195 lbs, 8 ¾" hands), he has a lot to overcome, but he's worth a late-round flier in my opinion.
