Chargers | San Diego looking to move down?
San Diego Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said the team is in a ‘good spot’ holding the fourth pick in the second round of the 2016 NFL draft and may try to trade back.
Cardinals | Robert Nkemdiche expected to produce
Arizona Cardinals DT Robert Nkemdiche will ‘no doubt’ be an ‘impact player’ in the NFL, according to head coach Bruce Arians.
Cowboys | Dallas tried to land Paxton Lynch
Denver Broncos QB Paxton Lynch was being pursued by the Dallas Cowboys, but Dallas was unable to find a trade partner to move back into the first round of the 2016 NFL draft, according to sources.
Broncos | Paxton Lynch to compete for starting gig
Denver Broncos QB Paxton Lynch will compete with QB Mark Sanchez and QB Trevor Siemian for the starting job, according to executive vice president John Elway.
Seahawks | Germain Ifedi ends first round
The Seattle Seahawks selected Texas A and M OT Germain Ifedi with the 31st overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft on Thursday, April 28.
Footballguys View: The Seahawks finally address the line with a guy who can play tackle or guard. He’s got a lot of power and is a big guy but his technique is shaky. It may take time to get him coached up, but the Seahawks will be patient with him.
Browns | Corey Coleman to bring big plays
Cleveland Browns WR Corey Coleman has the speed to turn short plays into long plays and will be a dynamic weapon in the offense, according to general manager Sashi Brown.
Footballguys View: While perhaps not the guy we’d have expected them to pick, he still adds a much-needed element to a very thin receiving corps. The Browns have a long way to go to make us feel good about the passing offense for fantasy purposes, but it’s a good start.
Panthers | Vernon Butler goes to Panthers
The Carolina Panthers selected Louisiana Tech DT Vernon Butler with the 30th overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft on Thursday, April 28.
Footballguys View: Butler is a big, power guy who runs to the ball and who can rush the passer. The Panthers continue to put together an outstanding defense.
Broncos | Denver unlikely to pursue big-name QB
San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick and Philadelphia Eagles QB Sam Bradford are unlikely to be pursued by the Denver Broncos after the team selected QB Paxton Lynch with the 26th overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, but Denver could still add a veteran quarterback at some point.
Footballguys View: Since they got their quarterback, this isn’t a shock. They got what they wanted out of Thursday, and part of that was not having to spend money or picks for a retread.
Cardinals | Cards draft Robert Nkemdiche
The Arizona Cardinals selected Ole Miss DT Robert Nkemdiche with the 29th overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft on Thursday, April 28.
Footballguys View: The Cardinals improve an already awesome defense by adding Nkemdiche, who has some off-field issues but is a tremendous run stuffer. We are not shocked Bruce Arians took a shot with him, like he did with Tyrann Mathieu not long ago.
