Jets | Troy Franklin touched base with NY Jets Fri Apr 12, 02:12 PM
University of Oregon WR Troy Franklin recently met with the New York Jets, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Franklin met with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, April 12, and has already visited the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots this spring.
| Footballguys view: Do not forget about Franklin. There's the 'big 3' at receiver, and those guys should go in the top-10. However, Franklin is a first-round receiver too and he can make plays. We like his versatility to play outside or from the slot. While not the largest receiver (175 pounds), Franklin can get down the field in a hurry. |

Browns | Cleveland met with Ladd McConkey Fri Apr 12, 01:24 PM
University of Georgia WR Ladd McConkey recently visited with the Cleveland Browns, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: McConkey is drawing some Cooper Kupp comparisons in the pre-draft process. He's fun to watch on film, and McConkey was a favorite player of our very own Cecil Lammey down at the Senior Bowl earlier this year. He's fast, quick, and McConkey is competitive after the catch. He's not Kupp, but we could see him as a plus-Marvin Mims (Broncos) player for any team interested. |

Colts | Xavier Worthy visiting Colts Fri Apr 12, 10:14 AM
Texas WR Xavier Worthy is visiting the Indianapolis Colts Friday, April 11.
| Footballguys view: Worthy can flat out fly, and that's just one of the reasons teams are interested in him. Most see Worthy as a second-round pick with upside. The Colts have a fine receiver in Michael Pittman, and we appreciate players like Alec Pierce. However, adding Worthy would give them elite speed to take the top off the defense and open things up for other players. |

Giants | Ben Sinnott meeting with NYG Thu Apr 11, 04:03 PM
Kansas State TE Ben Sinnott is having an official visit with the New York Giants Thursday, April 11, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Sinnott has some freakish athletic traits. At the NFL Combine, Sinnott scored the highest in three of the most important drills (3-cone, broad jump, vertical), and his explosiveness is evident on film. If Darren Waller retires, the Giants could be in line for a guy like Sinnott on Day 2 of the 2024 NFL draft. |
NFL | Tom Brady open to late-season return Thu Apr 11, 03:32 PM
Retired NFL QB Tom Brady recently told Vic Blends of the DeepCut podcast that he would consider returning to the NFL if a team in contention lost its starting quarterback late in a season. While acknowledging the possibility that his return might be a violation of NFL rules - as a potential future minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders - Brady suggested he could be tempted to play if the league allows him to do so.'I'm not opposed to it. I don't know if (the NFL is) going to let me, if I become an owner of an NFL team, I don't know. I'm always going to be in good shape, always going to be able to throw the ball. So, to come in for a little bit, like (Michael Jordan) coming back (to the NBA after becoming a part owner of a team), I don't know if they'd let me, but I wouldn't be opposed to it,' Brady said.
| Footballguys view: Here we go again. Brady could still play, but he might have to be limited to a late-season return. Never say never, but it seems a bit far-fetched to think of a Brady return. It's a fun debate though! |

Vikings | Minnesota to meet privately with Jayden Daniels Thu Apr 11, 02:16 PM
Louisiana State University QB Jayden Daniels is scheduled for a private meeting with the Minnesota Vikings in the near future, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is arguably the best quarterback in this draft class. He had 90 explosive plays (both as a passer and a runner) last year at LSU, and the Lamar Jackson comparisons are easy to see. The Vikings may fall in love with Daniels (everyone should) but we think they have their sights set on moving up for Drake Maye. |
Browns | Michael Pratt meets with Cleveland Thu Apr 11, 02:07 PM
Tulane University QB Michael Pratt visited with the Cleveland Browns earlier in the week, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Pratt is an interesting mid-round prospect in the 2024 NFL draft. He's a smart player who sees the field well and can throw downfield with touch. The Browns could add Pratt in the third or fourth round as a developmental prospect behind starting QB Deshaun Watson. |
Panthers | Carolina gets to know Ben Sinnott Thu Apr 11, 02:01 PM

At the NFL Combine, Sinnott scored the highest in three of the most important drills (3-cone, broad jump, vertical), and his explosiveness is evident on film. The Panthers have Tommy Tremble at the top of the depth chart at the tight end position, but Sinnott could push him for snaps and targets as a rookie. |
