2012 Senior Bowl: Monday Rumor Mill

By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell

  • The Washington Redskins held a long meeting with Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson on Sunday night. They spent more time with Wilson than a typical player interview, so that could indicate some interest on the Redskins part. Wilson would be a good fit in Mike Shanahan's offense, and he could be targeted on the third day of the 2012 NFL Draft. Wilson's lack of size (5-10, 203), was as advertised. It wouldn't be surprising if Washington acquires a veteran quarterback while developing Wilson to see if he can overcome the lack of height through good grooming and coaching.

  • Sources said the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coaching position has been turned down by six or seven coaches. That includes coaches declining interviews and actual negotiations about the position. Some of the known candidates to say no thanks are Oregon coach Chip Kelly, Texans defensive coordinator Wade Philips, new St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher and new Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin. Sources said they believe the Bucs are interested in interviewing both of the New York Giants coordinators Perry Fewell and Kevin Gilbride.

    One of the issues that Tampa Bay has been having is allegedly they are trying to slash the severance packages of the coaches if they are fired, for assistants and the head coach. The Bucs are trying to save money by making changes there, but it is not sitting well with coaches. Last year there were top college assistants making more money than the Bucs assistant coaches.

  • Many league staff believe the teams that are still searching for head coaches, the Bucs, Colts and Raiders, are hurting themselves with the overall quality of their staff. The longer the search for the head guy, the harder it is to land top assistants.



  • Some scouts have said that Texas A&M wide receiver Jeff Fuller is underrated. He had a down senior year from a concussion, pulled hamstring and turf toe injuries. If he has a good week at Senior Bowl, don't be surprised to hear that his stock is rising up draft boards.

  • The New York Jets have taken a liking to Arizona State wide receiver Gerell Robinson. They probably aren't the only ones, as Robinson had a solid debut practice on Monday.

  • The Bears appear to be doing homework and digging into Ohio State wide receiver Devier Posey. They will meet with Posey on Monday night.

  • Minnesota was said to be ready to offer the defensive coordinator position to Raheem Morris, but he already had accepted a job to coach the defensive backs with the Redskins. Morris was the head coach and defensive coordinator for Tampa Bay the past three seasons.

    You're the only douche that says Landry Jones didn't imimprove his stock this week...

    NFL scouts on NFL Network disagree with your ignorance.

    "At Notre Dame, Te'o played in a 4-3 defense."

    Did he really?

    Kuechly built for the pass? Dude is an outstanding run defender, but sucks against the pass. QB's had a 97.5 passer rating against him. He was targeted 55 times and gave up 45rec for close to 450 yards and two TD's. As for Te'o he was not even close to the best defender. Dude is all hype, he is a story from the most famous all hype team ever. The guy is a story and that is it. Kuechly got over drafted but is solid. Te'o is a total nut with a below average skill set, first round. Like scouts have a clue, if they did you would not have so many draft busts.

    The 2013 draft class is weak on the inside of the offensive line, so Quessenberry could easily continue to rise. He has the ability to play guard and center.

    ------

    Really ? Isn't there two potential top 15 Guards and even Warford could sneak into late round 1 consideration .

    Gotta love Jordan Mills fighting until the whistle. Every O-line needs a tough SOB like that to keep plays alive AND frustrate the defense.

    I like this Gillislee kid. I can see him tearing it up in Cincy. With A.J. Green and Marvin Jones demanding safety coverage, he should be able to make some big plays on short passes and edge runs.

    Why go with T. Wilson in the first round? Go take Carr in the 3rd-4th or someone like him and save some higher picks for more important positions.

    This doesn't sound like an interview. It sounds like you were standing next to a reporter and wrote down two things Monte Kiffin said.

    Tony Jefferson in a radio interview dispelled your bogus rumor, saying OU coaches have contacted him. Quotes from his interview:

    "I knew my coaches would never say anything like that. One, because it wasn't true. Two, my coaches aren't like that."

    "My coaches are good guys and we've always had a good relationship."

    Nice "inside information", Waltie.

    It's called a backup QB. There are a lot of rumors they want to get rid of Flynn. Then they'd need a QB in case Wilson gets hurt. Why not add a guy who can at least move the ball up the field?

    Fvck you guy. Tyler Wilson had to carry whatever was left of the team bobby petrino left in dismay. Two concussions this year to sh!tty o-line play (2 walk-ons starting), john l f'ing smith as head coach, and not to mention the worst defense in Razorback history. And he still might be the top quarterback taken. Are people so quick to forget Arkansas finished ranked 5th last year, mostly because of Tyler Wilson. Who likes Tyler Wilson, I sure as hell do.
