No-Huddle Series: Iowa State WR Darius Reynolds | The Rookie Scouting Portfolio
As Jon Gruden said during his QB Camp episode with Brandon Weeden, Iowa State is "a pretty good football team. Quietly, they’ve become formidable." You don’t become that quietly formidable without some quietly formidable players. I think that pair of words fits wide receiver Darius Reynolds.
NFL.com news: Scout: TE Coby Fleener 'might be the most overrated' in draft
Stanford's Coby Fleener, considered by many to be the top tight end prospect, "might be the most overrated guy in the draft," one scout told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, via ProFootballTalk.com.

Quick-fire mock, Fletcher Cox & the countdown " Seahawks Draft Blog
I’ll be publishing my final 2012 mock on Wednesday just before the draft. You never know, maybe Kip will break out a mock too before Thursday (how about that for pressure).

St. Louis Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals. San Francisco 49ers will look to address issues in NFL Draft - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN
It was no surprise that the Seahawks' 7-9 record wasn't good enough to get into the playoffs, like it did in 2010 in the anemic NFC West. The defense, particularly the secondary, really began to come alive in 2011. Still, it needs to be able to put more pressure on the quarterback and a premier edge rusher doesn’t appear to be available in this draft.

Shea McClellin: '1 1/2 Concussions,' Zierlein: Lock for 1st Round in NFL Draft | Bleacher Report
Whispers, rumors and innuendo can be heard from all corners of the NFL draft scene when the event is this close, so it's no surprise that Boise State DE/OLB Shea McClellin had to dispel rumors about multiple concussions in college. With all of the attention paid to head injuries, that could make him less attractive to teams despite many reports that he is rising up the board.
The Shutdown 50 — #15: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A & M | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports
We continue this year's series with Texas A & M quarterback Ryan Tannehill, seen by most evaluators as the next man up behind Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III at the quarterback position in the 2012 draft class. However, Luck and RGIII didn't have to start their collegiate careers as a receiver like Tannehill did -- the Aggies took the Big Spring High School quarterback and made him a pass-catcher for his first two years. When Jerrod Johnson struggled in 2010, the move was finally made, and Tannehill was able to establish some pretty interesting records -- not only did he set single-season school marks for yards (3,744), attempts (531) and completions (327) in 2011, he's the only player in FBS history to post a 400-yard passing game and 200-yard receiving game ... AND the only player in FBS history to total more than 4,000 passing yards and 1,500 receiving yards in a career.

Why I’m starting to get excited about Upshaw " Seahawks Draft Blog
Last night I sat down to begin my Draft Spotlight article for Courtney Upshaw, and like I had done previously with Zach Brown, I had to stop partway through because I felt that a scouting report wouldn’t sufficiently convey the thoughts I had discovered while going through the process. I’ll go ahead and treat this like a scouting report and include my Draft Spotlight graphic, but there is also a larger point I want to get across.

Hawks don’t have many holes to fill from this year's draft | Seattle Seahawks - The News Tribune
They weren’t fooling anybody. Two months into his tenure as the general manager of the Seattle Seahawks, John Schneider looked down from his second story office window onto the practice field and saw veteran Ray Willis – a bruising run blocker but not the fleetest of foot – taking reps with the first unit at left tackle because of the expected retirement of Walter Jones.
Cooler heads prevail at draft | Seattle Seahawks - The News Tribune
Listen to the words. John Schneider is calm and in control. He has plans and contingencies. He’s a master of the variables; weights and measures, mass and velocity. And he’s ready for the varied ways this week’s NFL draft might unfold in front of him.
