—The quarterback class is more than a two-person race, and one player I keep hearing positive buzz on is Mississippi State's DakPrescott. One AFC West college scouting director told me this week that Prescott is "firmly" a Day 2 player.
—In talking to team sources in Philadelphia and to area scouts who know general manager Howie Roseman, there is a feeling the Eagles will look to draft at least one wide receiver. As one scout put it, they "have to clean up the mess Chip [Kelly] made at receiver."
—While polling teams on background information for wide receivers, I learned that three teams have Bowling Green wide receiver Roger Lewis off their boards. Lewis, who was charged with two counts of rape as a senior in high school, is an interesting study in how teams alter their draft boards for off-field issues.
Lewis was acquitted on one charge, but a mistrial was declared on the second charge after the jury couldn't come to a consensus. Lewispleaded guilty to falsifying a police report before a new trial and was given three years' probation.
—Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson continues to draw praise from scouts and NFL coaches I speak to. When I asked around this week on his draft range, seven teams replied that Lawson is a Round 1 player and his expected draft range is between picks No. 8 and No. 18.
—How impressive was Paxton Lynch's pro day? An NFL coach I spoke to said it was better than any he saw last year and on par with CarsonWentz's showing at North Dakota State last month.
