The person that mentions it in two days time here will be Jason LaCanfora.

I almost feel bad for the guy. I think it was 2/3 drafts ago, he was getting picks wrong AFTER Goodell was announcing them.

I love his nickname Jason LaConfirma. All his tweets seem to start "I can confirm....(whichever exclusive Rapoport or Schefter get)"

Second contact with Rivers.

I wonder if we'll see a surprise DeMarcus Ware sort of situation where a small school passrusher with great athleticism goes a lot higher than expected. He might not even be there at 72. I think he would work wonders for our pass D though.

Guys? Guys? Anyone?

State record high-jumper. Special teams player. Had a kickoff return for a touchdown in Gillette stadium a few years ago. Knee injury in 2015 forced a redshirt year. Good size at 6'2 205.

Other than that, I've got nothing. Seems like an ideal candidate for that obscure early safety that destroys everyone's draft boards.

Would love to get him late in the draft, or even UDFA. He's a poor man's McCaffrey. Definitely one of my binkies.

As I'm typing this message from Amherst, I'd certainly like to see someone from UMass on the Pats.

Do you know much about Bailey-Smith? I've found a couple highlights online, but they're only a few seconds long for each clip.

An interview in March & now an official team visit. Barnett as well. Any other double dip players reported so far?

It should be noted that there were reports that Tabor didn't interview well at the combine (but bear in mind the usual caveats about 'reports').

If you include Shrine Game/Senior Bowl interviews, Combine interviews (both formal and "informal"), personal workouts/white board sessions at Pro Days, plus Official Visits, there have been at least dozen, by my count.

On a small-school level, eight offensive line coaches have been through Kutztown to work out Jordan Morgan. Among the teams are the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers.

...

(Kareem) Hunt visits the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday. Over the past three weeks, he has worked out for or visited the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Bucs, Tennessee Titans, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ersand New Orleans Saints. Whew!

Jordan Morgan is interesting. Dane Brugler and Bryan Broddaeus on The Draft Show podcast were really enthusing about him the other day and I made a mental note to check him out. And here is meeting with the Pats.
