| 4. | Lions ready to pounce on Jahvid Best? | (Rotoworld) The Detroit News suggests the Lions may "pounce" on Cal RB Jahvid Best if he's still available early in the second round. Analysis: GM Martin Mayhew has made it clear that he wants to add a back, but he's been shut out thus far in free agency.

It's definitely something I'm looking forward to doing this year," Bodden said. | 5 hours | |

Jones | (KFFL) Updating previous reports, Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers representatives have met with unrestricted free-agent CB Adam Jones (Cowboys), but head coach Mike Singletary was not among the team's representatives. | 5 hours | |

| 32. | 3 Year Deal Sends Joey Porter To Arizona | (FFChamps) The Arizona Cardinals signed free agent OLB Joey Porter to a three-year contract worth $17.5 million. Analysis: The Cardinals are making some changes to their defense this off-season. They failed to sign Safety Antrel Rolle and LB Karlos Dansby. Joey Porter fills the void left by Dansby and also brings some veteran leadership to the squad. | 7 hours | |
| 33. | Seahawks Sign RB Quinton Ganther | (FFChamps) The Seattle Seahawks signed free agent Running Back, Quinton Ganther, to a one year deal. Analysis: Ganther saw some action in Washington last season when Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts got injured. He finished the season with 300 total yards and 3 TDs. Seattle's backfield is already crowded with Justin Forsett and Julius Jones on the roster, plus the Seahawks may draft an RB in the upcoming draft. | 7 hours | |
| 34. | Eagles | Will meet with D. Alexander soon | (KFFL) Aaron Wilson, of the National Football Post, reports University of Missouri WR Danario Alexander (knee) said he will meet with the Philadelphia Eagles soon. | 7 hours | |

| 36. | Blair White posts impressive forty times | (Rotoworld) Michigan State WR Blair White posted forty times of 4.42 and 4.46 at the Spartans' pro day workout. Analysis: White also recorded a 35 1/2 vertical jump and a 10-foot broad jump, showing impressive athleticism. The fluid pass catcher is likely ticketed for the mid rounds as a special teamer and NFL ready route runner. | 7 hours | |
| 37. | Dolphins | Haynos, Carpenter re-signed | (KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports the Miami Dolphins have re-signed exclusive rights free-agent TE Joey Haynos and PK Dan Carpenter to one-year deals, according to their agents.

| 38. | Dolphins | Bess re-signed | (KFFL) Omar Kelly, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports the Miami Dolphins have re-signed exclusive rights free-agent WR Davone Bess to a one-year deal, according to his agent. Financial terms were not disclosed. | 7 hours | |
| 39. | Mizzou's Alexander to be ready by August | (Rotoworld) Missouri WR Danario Alexander (knee surgery) expects to be at full speed by June or July and ready to practice by training camp. Analysis: The most recent of four knee surgeries for Alexander was designed to repair a small defect in his cartilage. With unanswered questions about his speed in addition to concerns over his knee history, Alexander will likely slide to the late rounds of the draft. | 7 hours | |
| 40. | Calvin Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson told MLive.com that he believes new teammate Nate Burleson can help loosen defenses and attract attention away from himself. Analysis: The Lions have searched in vain to find a compliment that can alleviate the growing attention paid to the third-year receiver, but have yet to find an answer. Burleson has had some injury problems in recent years, but he could be the solution to a problem that eventually ended with Johnson seeing triple teams. | 8 hours | |
| 41. | Indiana OT Saffold's stock on the rise | (Rotoworld) Indiana OT Rodger Saffold's stock is on the rise to the point that he has a "strong chance" to get drafted in the first round, according to Scout.com. Analysis: Saffold, at 6'5/316, had a strong showing at the East-West Shrine Game before an impressive Combine performance. Originally considered a third- or fourth-rounder, Saffold is now in the mix with USC's Charles Brown at the end of the first or early second round. | 8 hours | |
| 42. | Landon Johnson | (RotoWire) Johnson has signed a one-year contract with the Lions, according to the Detroit Free Press. Analysis: The news first broke on Johnson's agent's Twitter account on Friday. The 29-year-old Johnson put up big numbers before moving east to Carolina, and the Lions are banking on a return to form in a new scheme. He may contribute on special teams as well. | 8 hours | |
| 43. | Jets re-sign WR David Clowney | (Rotoworld) Jets re-signed exclusive rights free agent WR David Clowney. Analysis: A burner with the potential to stretch the field, Clowney hasn't been able to translate his preseason success into a steady role with the Jets. He'll remain a situational deep threat behind Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery. | 9 hours | |
| 44. | Dolphins re-sign K Dan Carpenter | (Rotoworld) Dolphins re-signed exclusive rights free agent K Dan Carpenter. Analysis: Carpenter landed in the Pro Bowl this season after nailing 25 of 28 field goals. He's sitting at an impressive 86.8 percent on field goals in his two-year career. | 10 hours | |
| 45. | Dolphins re-sign TE Joey Haynos | (Rotoworld) Dolphins re-signed exclusive rights free agent TE Joey Haynos. Analysis: Haynos, originally signed off the Packers practice squad in 2008, will return as Anthony Fasano's backup. He's stretched as anything more than a situational No. 2 tight end. | 10 hours | |
| 46. | Dolphins re-sign Davone Bess | (Rotoworld) Dolphins re-signed exclusive rights free agent WR Davone Bess. Analysis: Because he was undrafted out of Hawaii, Bess was safe from other teams bidding on him this offseason. Even if the Dolphins finally bring in a playmaking receiver, Bess will remain a high-reception slot receiver. | 10 hours | |
| 47. | Browns | Schedule Tebow for private workout | (KFFL) Tony Grossi, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, reports the Cleveland Browns will work out Florida QB Tim Tebow prior to the NFL Draft, according to team president Mike Holmgren. | 10 hours | |
| 48. | Tom Brady | (RotoWire) Brady plans to be in Foxborough at some point for the Patriots' offseason conditioning program, possibly as soon as next week, the Boston Globe reports. Analysis: Brady has been under a degree of scrutiny of late for working out in Southern California instead of Foxborough. Of course, the workouts are voluntary and despite his absence back East, Brady has always been a hard-working, well-prepared player. This is a non-story and perhaps what we should be focusing on is that Brady is further removed from the knee injury that finished his 2008 season in Week 1, as well as presumably healed up from the finger, rib and shoulder issues that bother him last season. | 10 hours | |
| 49. | Raiders | Howard working out with team | (KFFL) David White, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports Oakland Raiders restricted free-agent LB Thomas Howard joined the team for an offseason workout Thursday, March 18, even though he has yet to sign his second-round tender. | 10 hours | |
| 50. | Chargers | Showing interest in Mathews | (KFFL) Bill Williamson, of ESPN.com, reports the San Diego Chargers spoke with Fresno State RB Ryan Mathews during the NFL Scouting Combine and could target him with their first-round pick in the NFL Draft. | 10 hours | |
| 51. | Darnell Dockett | (RotoWire) Dockett and the Cardinals are not currently "engaged in any active discussions" regarding a contract extension, Arizona general manager Rod Graves told the team's official site on Friday. Analysis: Dockett says that he will test the open market an an unrestricted free agent following the 2011 season unless he receives a contract extension this offseason. The Cardinals might be interested in talking to Dockett in May or June, after the draft and free agent signings calm down. | 11 hours | |
| 52. | Seahawks | Hasselbeck's days numbered? | (KFFL) Eric Williams, of The News Tribune, reports the clock appears to be ticking on Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck's future with the team after the addition of QB Charlie Whitehurst. If the Seahawks were to trade Hasselbeck, they would clear the way to begin playing Whitehurst now and accelerating his development process by getting him on the field early. | 11 hours | |
| 53. | Pitts open to playing on the right side ... | (Rotoworld) Free agent OG Chester Pitts said on Friday that he would be open to moving to right guard if he was to sign with the 49ers. Analysis: David Baas is the team's left guard while Chilo Rachal is at right guard, but the Niners have questioned whether Baas is a long-term solution at the position. Pitts played left guard for his entire career in Houston. He is also drawing interest from Seattle and Detroit. | 11 hours | |
| 54. | Cowboys | Scheduled to work out Bowman | (KFFL) The Dallas Morning News reports the Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to work out Penn State LB Navorro Bowman. | 11 hours | |
| 55. | Cowboys | Scheduled to work out S. Lee | (KFFL) The Dallas Morning News reports the Dallas Cowboys are scheduled to work out Penn State LB Sean Lee. | 11 hours | |
| 56. | Lions | Suh visits Friday | (KFFL) Tim Twentyman, of the Detroit News, reports Nebraska DL Ndamukong Suh left the Detroit Lions' facility Friday, March 19, excited over his visit with the team. "From talking to him, he was very excited," Suh's agent, Roosevelt Barnes, said. "He just felt really good about the whole visit." | 11 hours | |
| 57. | Rams | Still considering Suh with top pick in NFL Draft | (KFFL) Tim Twentyman, of the Detroit News, reports Nebraska DL Ndamukong Suh's agent Roosevelt Barnes said the St. Louis Rams still have not made a decision on the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft and are still in play for Suh. Suh will visit with the Rams in the coming weeks. | 11 hours | |
| 58. | Saints | Thomas likely to sign long-term deal | (KFFL) Jeff Duncan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports the New Orleans Saints will likely sign RB Pierre Thomas to a long-term contract extension. | 11 hours | |
| 59. | Will Davis | (RotoWire) Davis has more competition for playing time, since Joey Porter signed a three-year, $17.5 million contract with Arizona on Friday, ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Davis is now very likely to come off the bench in 2010. Porter, who is expected to occupy a starting role, is a proven veteran that fills one of the Cardinals' biggest needs. Davis showed potential off the bench last season, but he's still pretty raw, and probably not ready to be a starter in the NFL. | 11 hours | |
| 60. | Cody Brown | (RotoWire) Brown has more competition for playing time, since Joey Porter signed a three-year, $17.5 million contract with Arizona on Friday, ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Brown is now very likely to come off the bench in 2010. Porter, who is expected to occupy a starting role, is a proven veteran that fills one of the Cardinals' biggest needs. Since Brown missed almost the entire 2009 season due to a dislocated right wrist, it makes sense for the Cardinals to bring him along at a slower pace. | 11 hours | |
| 61. | Suh excited about possibility of Lions | (Rotoworld) Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh was "very excited" after his visit with the Lions, but his player rep still suggests that the Rams are still in play for him at No. 1. Analysis: "St. Louis hasn't made a decision yet. St. Louis is still in play," said Suh's agent Roosevelt Barnes. Suh will meet with the Rams in the coming weeks, but it still looks as if the Rams are leaning towards Sam Bradford. Barnes realizes this and added that Suh really likes Lions DC Gunther Cunningham and DL coach Kris Kocurek. | 12 hours | |
| 62. | Joey Porter | (RotoWire) Porter signed a three-year, $17.5 million contract with Arizona on Friday, ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Incentives could push the total value of the deal to $24.5 million. Porter is expected to replace Chike Okeafor as a starting outside linebacker. That position is often asked to rush the passer as a hybrid linebacker/defensive end in the Cardinals' 3-4 scheme. Porter has familiarity with the role, since he spent eight years with the Steelers, who employ a similar system. On paper, Porter is now Arizona's biggest sack threat. Last year, no Cardinal made more than seven sacks, but the team still ranked sixth in the NFL in that category. | 12 hours | |
| 63. | Cardinals | Looking for more pass rush help? | (KFFL) Steve Wyche, of NFL.com, reports the Arizona Cardinals could look to add a pass rusher in the NFL Draft despite the addition of LB Joey Porter. | 12 hours | |
| 64. | Henne pleads for veteran help at WR posi... | (Rotoworld) Dolphins QB Chad Henne admitted that he wouldn't mind seeing the Fins bring in a veteran receiver like Terrell Owens or Brandon Marshall this offseason. Analysis: "There's T.O. [Terrell Owens]. There's Brandon Marshall. Where we're at, we have a bunch of young guys who are definitely learning...But you need kind of a veteran guy that's really going to take hold of our young guys and teach them the right ways," said Henne. Henne's pleas for a big, playmaker receiver haven't yet come to fruition. Look for Miami to at least upgrade in the draft. | 12 hours | |
| 65. | Cardinals | Porter expected to be three-down player | (KFFL) Steve Wyche, of NFL.com, reports Arizona Cardinals LB Joey Porter is expected to be a full-time, three-down player for the defense. | 12 hours | |
| 66. | 49ers | Have met with A. Jones | (KFFL) Jason La Canfora, of NFL.com, reports the San Francisco 49ers have privately met with free-agent CB Adam Jones (Cowboys). | 12 hours | |
| 67. | NFL | A. Jones workout results | (KFFL) Jason La Canfora, of NFL.com, reports free-agent CB Adam Jones (Cowboys) posted times of 4.42 seconds and 4.48 seconds in the 40-yard dash during his workout Friday, March 19, according to his agent, Ray Savage. | 12 hours | |
| 68. | Lions | Meet with A. Jones | (KFFL) Carlos Monarrez, of the Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions officials met with free-agent CB Adam Jones (Cowboys) Friday, March 19, before Jones held a workout for NFL teams, according to NFL.com. | 12 hours | |
| 69. | Colts announce coaching changes | (Rotoworld) The Colts announced on Friday that Tom Moore will return for the 2010 season as the team's senior offensive assistant, while Clyde Christensen moves into Moore's old position as offensive coordinator. Analysis: Indy also confirmed the hiring of Ron Turner as wide receivers coach and Ron Prince as offensive line coach. Moore has served the past 12 seasons as offensive coordinator. Christensen, in his ninth year with the club, was promoted from assistant head coach/wide receivers. | 13 hours | |
| 70. | Greene says he is fully healthy | (TheHuddle) Manish Mehta, of The Star-Ledger, reports New York Jets RB Shonn Greene said he is fully recovered from the rib cartilage damage he suffered in the AFC Championship game. Analysis: Greene still has plenty of time before he'll be taking any rib shots. Plus, the Jets now have LaDainian Tomlinson to handle at least some of the workload. | 20 hours | |
| 71. | Holmgren not sold on Tebow's throwing motion | (TheHuddle) Tony Grossi, of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, reports Browns president Mike Holmgren has some reservations about University of Florida QB Tim Tebow's new throwing motion because he is worried that Tebow may go back to his original motion when he is under pressure. "I just think in the heat of battle guys will usually revert [to old form]," Holmgren said. "I think, and I told him this, that he was so thinking about his mechanics that at times it looked a little robotic." Analysis: Tebow is in a no-win situation: scouts didn't like his old throwing motion, and now his new throwing motion is too mechanical. Of course, analysis from a guy who actually appears excited... (More) | 20 hours | |
| 72. | Porter's deal could be worth $24.5 million | (TheHuddle) Updating a previous item, Adam Schefter, of ESPN.com, reports Arizona Cardinals LB Joey Porter agreed to a three-year deal worth $17.5 million. The deal could be worth a maximum of $24.5 million. Analysis: The addition of Porter at least partially addresses the Cardinals' needs at linebacker. Whether he can still play at a $24.5 mil or even $17.5 mil level, however, remains to be seen. | 20 hours | |
| 73. | Saints unlikely to match offer to M. Bell | (TheHuddle) Jeff McLane, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports there is only an "outside chance" that the New Orleans Saints will match the offer made by the Philadelphia Eagles to restricted free-agent RB Mike Bell, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Analysis: The Eagles snuck a "no-trade" clause into Bell's offer sheet, which may be enough to prevent the Saints from matching the offer. | 20 hours | |
| 74. | R. Williams hires Rosenhaus | (TheHuddle) Mike Berardino, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins RB Ricky Williams has hired agent Drew Rosenhaus, according to the NFL Players Association's web page. Analysis: Word on the street is that Ricky has changed his mind and now wants to play beyond the 2010 season. That means he'll need a new contract, and who better at squeezing teams for a big contract than Rosenhaus? | 20 hours | |
| 75. | Four Indy coaches change titles | (TheHuddle) The Indianpolis Colts announced Tom Moore will hold the title of senior offensive assitant coach, Clyde Christensen has been promoted to offensive coordinator, Pete Metzelaars has been promoted to offensive line coach and Jim Bob Cooter has been named offensive assistant coach. Analysis: Peyton Manning, however, will still call the plays. | 20 hours | |
| 76. | Vobora, David | StL | (SportsGrumblings) LB David Vobora re-signs with Rams Analysis: Vobora, 23, started 10 games last season for St. Louis at strongside linebacker. He was suspended for four games for violating league policy on performance-enchancing substances.<p> Vobora recorded 40 tackles with one forced fumble and one pass breakup last season. At the moment, he appears to be the favorite to hold down the strongside job once again in 2010. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) | 21 hours | |
| 77. | Dolphins | D. Thomas hires Rosenhaus | (KFFL) Mike Berardino, of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reports Miami Dolphins OG Donald Thomas has hired agent Drew Rosenhaus, according to the NFL Players Association's web page. | 22 hours | |

| 81. | 49ers | Pitts expects to start if he signs | (KFFL) Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports free-agent OG Chester Pitts (Texans) expects to start if he signs with the San Francisco 49ers. Pitts said, "I would expect the five best players to be on the field, whoever they are. I definitely expect out of myself to be one of those five guys. But if I signed up and they felt differently at that moment in time, you roll with it and whatever your role is you do the best with it. But I definitely would expect to be a starter here." Pitts has been a left guard, but he said he could easily make the transition to right guard. | 22 hours | |
| 82. | Lions | L. Johnson signs with team | (KFFL) Charles Chandler, of the Charlotte Observer, reports free-agent LB Landon Johnson (Panthers) has agreed to a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions, according to his agent, Andy Simms. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. | 1 day | |
| 83. | NFL | Three teams attend Beadles' Pro Day | (KFFL) Aaron Wilson, of the National Football Post, reports the Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks attended Utah OL Zane Beadles' Pro Day. Beadles completed 30 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press during his Pro Day workout. | 1 day | |
| 84. | Browns | Beadles works out for team | (KFFL) Aaron Wilson, of the National Football Post, reports Utah OL Zane Beadles conducted a private workout with the Cleveland Browns, according to a source close to the program. | 1 day | |
| 85. | Cardinals | Porter's deal could be worth $24.5 million | (KFFL) Updating a previous item, Adam Schefter, of ESPN.com, reports Arizona Cardinals LB Joey Porter agreed to a three-year deal worth $17.5 million. The deal could be worth a maximum of $24.5 million. | 1 day | |
| 86. | Saints | Outside chance team match's offer to M. Bell | (KFFL) Jeff McLane, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports there is only an "outside chance" that the New Orleans Saints will match the offer made by the Philadelphia Eagles to restricted free-agent RB Mike Bell, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. | 1 day | |
| 87. | Dez Bryant attends Pacman's Pro Day | (Rotoworld) Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant reportedly attended free agent Pacman Jones' Pro Day-style workout on Friday. Analysis: What would make the red-flagged prospect think getting anywhere near Pacman Jones is a good idea is well beyond us. Everything from his association with Deion Sanders, to selecting of Eugene Parker as an agent, to his presence at Pacman's workout confirms that Bryant isn't a good decision maker. He's a stud on the field, but this won't stop speculation that his stock is falling. | 1 day | |
| 88. | Joey Porter gets big money | (Rotoworld) The Cardinals' three-year agreement with Joey Porter is worth $17.5 million in base value. Another $7M is available in incentives. Analysis: And they cut Antrel Rolle? And wouldn't pay Karlos Dansby? Aside from the suddenly penny-pinching Redskins, the Cardinals didn't have serious competition to get Porter, so the pricey contract is shocking. It also means Porter is going to be an every-down player. The move comes days after GM Rod Graves made Derek Anderson, perhaps the league's least accurate quarterback, one of the higher paid backups in the game.

| 89. | Lions sign LB Landon Johnson | (Rotoworld) Lions signed LB Landon Johnson to a one-year contract. Analysis: Johnson has the ability to play all three linebacker positions, although he doesn't do anything particularly well. He'll be strictly a backup in Detroit. | 1 day | |

| 91. | NFL | M. Brown works out at Pro Day | (KFFL) Arkansas State DB Marcus X. Smith measured in at his Pro Day with a weight of 195 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds and 4.39 seconds. He measured a 37 1/2-inch vertical jump, a 11-foot-1 broad jump. | 1 day | |
| 92. | Reshad Jones runs 4.53, 4.47 | (Rotoworld) Georgia S Reshad Jones ran 4.53 and 4.47 at the Bulldogs' Pro Day. Analysis: He also did 22 reps of 225 pounds. At 6'0/215, Jones is significantly smaller than his 6-foot-2, 215-pound college listing, but he's got good speed. Jones projects as a third safety type/special teamer at the next level. | 1 day | |
| 93. | Eagles | Decline to match Babin offer sheet | (KFFL) Aaron Wilson, of the National Football Post, reports the Philadelphia Eagles have decided not to match the offer sheet DE Jason Babin signed with the Tennessee Titans, which officially makes Babin a member of the Titans. | 1 day | |

Analysis: At 6'1/207, Owusu-Ansah has Raiders measurables. Also an interception machine in the D-IAA ranks, he has production to match. Owusu-Ansah is a legit second-round prospect, and it wouldn't surprise if he went in the top 50. | 1 day | |
| 95. | Cardinals | Porter agrees to terms | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms with unrestricted free-agent LB Joey Porter (Dolphins) on a three-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed. | 1 day | |
| 96. | Linebacker-needy Cardinals sign Joey Por... | (Rotoworld) Cardinals signed OLB Joey Porter to a three-year contract. Analysis: With Porter opposite Clark Haggans, the Cardinals now look like the Steelers West, 2005 version, at outside linebacker. Porter's nine sacks last year seem good enough on paper, but he only had 11 QB hurries all season and turns 33 next week. He offers some leadership, but the Cards shouldn't let Porter get in the way of promising young pass rushers Will Davis and Cody Brown. | 1 day | |
| 97. | Birds don't match Titans offer sheet to ... | (Rotoworld) Eagles failed to match Tennessee's one-year, $1 million offer sheet for free agent DE Jason Babin, making Babin a Titan. Analysis: The Titans need defensive ends, but Babin managed just five QB pressures and 2.5 sacks off the bench in Philadelphia last season. The 30-year-old isn't suddenly going to turn into an every-down player. He'll be a situational pass rusher, rotating with speedy Jacob Ford and trusty Dave Ball. | 1 day | |
| 98. | Vobora re-ups with Rams | (Rotoworld) Rams re-signed exclusive rights free agent SLB David Vobora to a one-year contract. Analysis: According to Pro Football Focus, Vobora missed just one tackle all last year on 401 snaps, was effective in coverage, and was quietly the Rams' best run defender from the linebacker position. St. Louis may bring in competition -- Na'il Diggs is on the radar -- but 2008 Mr. Irrelevant appears to be a keeper. | 1 day | |
| 99. | Dunlap not a first-rounder | (Rotoworld) NFL Network's Mike Mayock predicts that Florida DE Carlos Dunlap will not be drafted in the first round. Analysis: "His problem is he has a lot of average tape," Mayock says. "I don't see him going in the first round due to his lack of consistency." Dunlap is a physical freak at 6'6/277 with 4.6 speed, but the depth of this talent-rich draft figures to work against him. He may be the biggest boom-or-bust player this year. | 1 day | |
| 100. | Cardinals | Not talking with Dockett | (KFFL) Darren Urban, of AZCardinals.com, reports Arizona Cardinals general manager Rod Graves said he has not engaged in any active contract extension talks with DE Darnell Dockett at this time. | 1 day |
