3/4/10 – News and Notes

Looking for updated news and notes on the 2010 NFL Draft? Look no further than Zobel’s Blog here at Draft Headquarters for frequently-updated information and analysis on all things NFL Draft.

- One of the fastest risers in this year’s draft is Hillsdale offensive tackle Jared Veldheer. After a fantastic workout at the Combine, many are projecting that he could go as high as third-to-fourth round.

- The 1983 NFL Draft is considered one of the best of all-time; how close could this year’s draft be in comparison?

- Oregon’s Walter Thurmond is overcoming a knee injury suffered during the season, which is why he hasn’t been able to workout this offseason. Thurmond is a player that I really like in this year’s draft; he plays very similarly to how his former teammate Jairus Byrd plays, and with Byrd leading the NFL in interceptions as a rookie (nine), Thurmond’s stock could see a rise because of it.

- After pulling his hamstring running the 40-yard dash, Alabama cornerback Javier Arenas should be good to go for the Crimson Tide’s Pro Day next week. Arenas needs to have a good workout there to remain as a mid-round pick in this year’s draft.

- Get on the Linval Joseph bandwagon while you still can. After a great workout in Indianapolis, the pure nose tackle from East Carolina is developing into one of the sleeper’s of this year’s draft.
