2007 NFL Draft Rumors
posted in Adrian Peterson, San Francisco 49ers, Rumors, Kevin Kolb, Atlanta Falcons, Denver Broncos, Trades, Green Bay Packers, Buffalo Bills, 2007 NFL Draft |Here are the latest rumors as we approach the draft. Hard to separate fact from fiction this time of year.
- New England is in love with MLB David Harris of Michigan and would like to select him in Round 1. Denver also has some interest in Harris who now appears likely to go in Round 1.
- Don Banks of SI.com reports that Adrian Peterson re-injured his collar bone in the Fiesta Bowl. If true - Peterson rushed for a TD on his final collegiate carry, the news may help Peterson slide past #3 and could present a situation where Green Bay or Buffalo trade up for the talented rusher.
- Banks also reports that Atlanta is very interested in moving up for Calvin Johnson, something that the War Room Report speculated on almost immediately after the Matt Schaub trade. It could still happen, but Atlanta should get a good value pick if they stay at #8.
- In an update to yesterday’s column regarding the third QB taken, Adam Schefter chimes in with a suggestion that Kevin Kolb could be the third QB taken.
- Schefter also reports that San Francisco could be targeting Patrick Willis - a player they coached in the Senior Bowl. We still think, as we have for months, that Adam Carriker makes more sense there.
Stay tuned to the War Room Report for the latest draft updates!
