Scout.com has learned that several
teams are red-flagging Miami linebacker Jonathan Vilma as MRI's have revealed a
pre-existing knee injury. While it is not believed to be severe, there is
some thought that Vilma could slide into the late first round, potentially into
the top of round two. More as we receive it.
Update
Several other sources have confirmed the Vilma
injury situation and expect him to fall significantly.
Another player who could take a tumble is Will
Poole. Teams have gone back to his days at Boston College and his
"rap sheet" is inches long. Franchises are also looking into a
serious off-the-field issue from earlier this year Poole was involved
in.
Late word has Reggie Williams dropping.
Two weeks ago several scouts told us Williams was no more than a slow number two
receiver and not a difference maker. Now comes word his pre-draft
interviews were not good.
The Eagles are trying desperately to trade up
either with the Vikings or Niners.
