Pre-Season News and Notes

Jordy Nelson - probable torn ACL.

How much does this bump Davante Adams in drafts? He went at the end of the 10th round in the RJ Mock Football Draft that we're just finishing up.

Cobb went at the end of the 2nd and Nelson had went at the beginning of the 2nd round (sorry Gris, at least it was only a mock).

Another question does this move Eddie Lacy up to a possible first pick overall?

Also, does it do anything to the value of Cobb & Rodgers (both 2nd round ADP).

Rodgers is Rodgers, I don't think it means much for his ADP. Cobb is now a WR1 with Rodgers throwing to him. He moves from a low 2nd rounder to a mid to high 2nd rounder IMO.

I don't see any change for Cobb; his increased opportunities will be countered by increased defensive attention. With Aaron throwing to him, Adams is a 4-5th round pick.

Eddie Lacy now moves to my #2 RB pick overall .

I'm hoping the Pack brings in Randy Moss for a tryout. Packer fans would go nuts.

Adams should get bumped up to 7th/8th round with a breakout ceiling; Rodgers should get dinged a bit, but not enough to knock him down from his #2 QB ranking; Janis & Montgomery are now draftable; Lacy doesn't move IMO.

[redbroyer]

Janis & Montgomery.....or, Janis OR Montgomery?

Janis & Montgomery.....or, Janis OR Montgomery?

Too early to tell still. Both are worth late-round fliers.

Adams went for $36 in my $250 cap auction last night. That's just shy of Brandon Marshall and Amari Cooper.

ETA: To the guy who had to drop Jordy from his keeper list.

Steelers sign Michael Vick to a one year contract. Apparently, coach Mike Tomlin worked him out personally and recommended the signing.

Dallas' best CB, Orlando Scandrick, out for the year with torn ACL and MCL.

The RGIII era is over, as Jay Gruden names Kirk Cousins as the starter for the 2015 season.

The Bills release Fred Jackson.

The Steelers have their third kicker in the last month after signing veteran Josh Scobee. Kickers Garrett Hartley (hamstring) and Shawn Suisam (ACL) have both suffered injuries in pre-season games.

Julius Thomas needs surgery on his finger and will miss 4-to-6 weeks, so he's likely headed to the PUP list.

the amazing downfall of Trent Richardson continues, as he's cut by the Raiders.

Julius Thomas needs surgery on his finger and will miss 4-to-6 weeks, so he's likely headed to the PUP list.

You can only be on the PUP list in the regular season ("reserve/PUP") if you were put on it before training camp started ("active/PUP."). I don't think he was, but I could be wrong. If he wasn't, then they have to carry him as an inactive or put him on IR/designated for return, which costs him the first 8 games.
