Steelers | Team keeping draft options open
Tue, 24 Apr 2007 08:15:25 -0700
Teresa Varley, of Steelers.com, reports the Pittsburgh Steelers could possibly trade down in the first round of this year's NFL Draft. "As we always do, we call all of the teams and touch base as far as trading up or trading down," said director of football operations Kevin Colbert. "It is less likely that we are going to go up from the 15th position because it is very expensive to get up in that top echelon. Trading down could be an option for us." Outside of quarterback and tight end, the team could address any number of positions in the first round. "The only two positions you could eliminate for us in the first round would be a quarterback or a tight end," Colbert added. "Anything other than that will be wide open."

no way that happens unless JJ trades multiple picks this year and next year.
even he's not that stupid.
The only way they could trade up for peterson is if he slipped out of the top 10, and even then I doubt it. No way on Calvin, never gonna happen.
I would take him in a heart beat over what we got, he is basically a combination of Julius's speed and Marions strength and toughness
That was one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

Redskins | Landry a strong draft possibility
Tue, 24 Apr 2007 14:25:53 -0700
Jason La Canfora, of the Washington Post, reports the Washington Redskins are very high on Louisiana State S LaRon Landry and may draft him with their first-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. The Redskins believe Landry is an elite player and feel he would thrive in their defense. Landry's versitility and blitzing presence would help S Sean Taylor. However, some feel Landry would need to become more of a student of the game, according to sources. Despite perception that safety is not their pressing need, the Redskins may decide to take the best defensive player available. Many in the organization see Landry higher rated than University of Louisville DT Amobi Okoye. If they select Landry, the Redskins will look at trade possibilities and free agents to fill in the defensive line needs.

Teams wary of Peterson's health
Oklahoma RB re-injured his collarbone in Fiesta Bowl
Posted: Wednesday April 25, 2007 5:57PM; Updated: Thursday April 26, 2007 11:21AM
Adrian Peterson is still considered to be a top-10 pick despite health concerns.
Former Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson, an almost certain top-10 pick in the first round of Saturday's NFL draft, re-injured his collarbone in the Sooners' loss in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Day -- an injury that has not been previously disclosed except to NFL teams.
Peterson broke his collarbone on Oct. 14 against Iowa State and missed the rest of Oklahoma's regular season, returning for the first time in the bowl game against Boise State. Peterson made NFL teams aware of the re-injury at the NFL Scouting Combine in February.
But at least two teams that SI.com spoke to acknowledged that Peterson's health was a consideration in their draft analysis.
A high-level source on one team said the evaluation of his team's medical staff was that Peterson will require a surgical procedure, which would delay his availability at the start of training camp and perhaps longer. That team estimated Peterson would be sidelined after the procedure for "two or three months." That would likely mean Peterson would miss the entire offseason workouts of the team that drafted him and make him questionable for the early part of the preseason.
"Because of him re-injuring it in the bowl game, it's not as far along as it should be, it's not healed," said a team executive. "He lost three months with the re-injury. The question is, will it be healed enough to take a hit. Or will he hurt it again, the way [ex-Detroit receiver Charles Rogers] kept doing.
"It's not enough to take him off anyone's board, but it's a concern because of his straight-up running style. He has been a bit injury-prone and now you've got a situation where you're drafting damaged goods."
A source on a second team stressed that Peterson's re-injury was a "minor" consideration in the grand scheme of things.
"If we take, we take him because he's a good football player," the source said. "If it takes him time to heal, it takes him time. We're looking at his skills. But it's one of those things that everyone in the league knows about. He re-injured it in the Fiesta Bowl, but he kept playing."
Peterson told SI last week that he was "completely healthy," and that his collarbone injury had suffered no setbacks during the course of his rehabilitation. Peterson underwent a re-check from NFL medical personnel earlier this month at which time the status of his recovery was forwarded to NFL teams. That is a common step in the league's medical evaluation process for draft prospects with injury concerns discovered at the combine.
Peterson, the top-rated running back in the draft, is a candidate to go as high as No. 3 to Cleveland and is not expected, in any scenario, to last past No. 10 Houston.
