Washington WR Rome Odunze would love to be drafted by Chicago and thinks he would add an extra element to their offense.
“It would be explosive,” Odunze said, via PFT. “Honestly, there’s a lot of weapons on the field in that offense.”
When asked about the Cowboys not having any fourth-round picks, owner Jerry Jones said it’s “very likely” they’ll have an opportunity to gain more picks in the middle of the draft and they are monitoring the trade market to move in either direction.
“It’s very likely to have an opportunity to do that,” Jones said, via Nick Harris of the team’s site. “Given the right people left on the board, or the wrong people gone off the board, and the right trade…Really, there’s a lot of variables here as to whether you’d go up or down. Obviously, we’d like to have some mid-round picks.”
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones thinks they are in a great position to take an offensive lineman at No. 24 overall and points out their offensive line unit took a big hit this offseason when losing C Tyler Biadasz and OT Tyron Smith.
“It’s great to be drafting a position when there’s a lot of them,” Stephen Jones said. “Quantity. If you’re where we are, of course it’s the 24th pick, but my point is if you can go in and it happens to fit need and there is a long number of them in the draft, that’s fortuitous. That’s a good thing to have happen. If you look at attrition, if you talk about where it hits us the hardest. It’s the guys we lost in the offensive line.”
Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy is eager to land a running back in the upcoming draft.
“My God, I hope we can get one of these running backs,” McCarthy said. “It would be great to add it to the room. But I don’t believe that these draft picks are just absolutely starters. I don’t succumb to an 11-man roster because it’s not the reality of how this thing works. I think the fact that we’re in a 17-game schedule, it’s even more exemplified. It’s going to take them all to get to where we want to go to.”
After receiving his four-year, $120 million extension, Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown said their team’s No. goal is to win next year’s Super Bowl.
“My goals for next year are definitely going to be loftier goals than last year, but I want to win the Super Bowl,” St. Brown, via Eric Woodyard of ESPN. “That’s goal No. 1 for me, for our whole team, is to get that Super Bowl. We’re hungry, we’re ready for it. We came up short last year, but we feel like we’re ready for it. We’ve got the guys on this team. We’ve been before now; we know what it looks like, and it starts now for us.”
