Buccaneers | Bradley McDougald signs tender
Tampa Bay Buccaneers FS Bradley McDougald signed his one-year restricted free-agent tender Tuesday, April 5.
Broncos | Dak Prescott visiting Denver Tuesday
Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott is visiting with the Denver Broncos Tuesday, April 5.
Footballguys View: We’d like the fit if the Broncos added Prescott. He’s athletic and there are shades of Donovan McNabb to his game. Prescott is a project as a passer, but he’s shown the willingness and ability to make plays from the pocket. He’s likely to be a mid-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft.
Jaguars | Eli Apple meeting with Jacksonville
Ohio State CB Eli Apple is meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars Tuesday, April 5, according to various reports.
Footballguys View: Apple has good size at 6’1″ and he can use that length to break up passes downfield. He likes to win at the point of the catch, and Apple can be quite disruptive on contested passes.
