San Diego Union Tribune

With the NFL season in our rear view, I’ve had more time to study tape and I’ve monitored how prospects adjusted to pro-style environments across various college all-star games and practices. Front offices are currently deciding whether to slap the franchise tag on any of their potential free agents, but the center of the football universe will be Indianapolis this week, where the avalanche of information we will be gifted could fundamentally alter how this draft is perceived going forward. The on-field work makes for decent television, but I’ll be more focused on the measurements, medical evaluations and interviews happening behind closed doors.
