He lists Hopkins and Beckham as the team's [most likely]( targets. Hopkins: The Athletic’s Nate Taylor Taylor thinks a [trade package]( for Hopkins would center on the Chiefs' second-round pick. - Ian Rapoport is reporting that trade talks surrounding the 5x Pro Bowler have [ramped up]( among interested teams. - The Patriots, Giants, Bills, Titans, and Falcons are also believed to have interest. Beckham: According to Taylor, the Chiefs have wanted to sign Beckham for over a year now. A deal likely hinges on Kansas City’s willingness to offer a multi-year contract. - According to multiple reports, teams believe Beckham’s [asking price]( is too high. - The 30-year-old has appeared in just 21 of 50 possible games over the past three seasons. Interesting: Former NFL receiver Dez Bryant — who has been training with Hopkins this offseason — recently tweeted that he could envision [both]( Hopkins and Beckham going to the Chiefs. Bryant’s tweet was notably liked by Patrick Mahomes. Image: MSA/Icon Sportswire Vikings [Hendon Hooker] Vikings doing homework on QB draft class Details: The insight comes from Daniel Jeremiah, who has the Vikings [selecting]( Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker with their first-round pick (No. 23) in his latest mock draft. Cousins: Kirk Cousins is entering the final year of his contract. According to reports, the team is [not]( planning to offer him an extension. - Cousins has led the Vikings to just one postseason victory in five years. Hooker: Hooker, who tore his ACL in late November, played at a Heisman caliber level in 2022. He completed 70% of his passes for 3,135 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions across eleven games. - The 6-foot-4, 222-pounder was named SEC Offensive Player of the Year. Draft Stock: Hooker would probably be receiving top-ten consideration if weren’t for the injury and his advanced age (25). He could turn out to be a massive steal at the end of the first round. Visits: The Colts, Titans, Bucs, Texans, and Giants have scheduled pre-draft visits with the former Volunteer. Image: Jeffrey Vest/Icon Sportswire Eagles [Bijan Robinson] Eagles hosted Texas RB Bijan Robinson on a pre-draft visit Details: The Eagles have used one of their 30 pre-draft [visits]( on Robinson, who was at the Novacare Complex on Tuesday. - The team’s decision to use an official visit is a signal they’re interested in selecting him next month. - The Eagles did not conceal their pre-draft interest in last year’s first-round pick Jordan Davis. 10 or 30? Robinson will likely be available when the Eagles pick at No. 10 — but is unlikely to be available when they pick again at No. 30. - The Cowboys are a strong candidate to take him at No. 26. Streak: In his fourteen years as the Eagles’ GM, Howie Roseman has never drafted a running back in the first round. RB Depth: The Eagles' depth chart at running back currently features Rashaad Penny, Boston Scott, and Kenny Gainwell. Profile: Robinson (6-0, 215) totaled 1,894 scrimmage yards and scored 20 touchdowns across twelve games last season. Image: William Purnell/Icon Sportswire Cowboys [Ronald Jones] Cowboys signed RB Ronald Jones, OL Chuma Edoga Jones: Jones [agreed]( to a one-year contract. Profile: The 2018 second-rounder appeared in just six games with the Chiefs last season. He totaled 70 yards on 17 carries. - His best season came with the Buccaneers in 2020, when he finished with 978 yards and 7 touchdowns on 192 carries. Fit: Jones will compete with Malik Davis and a TBD rookie to be Tony Pollard's primary backup. Edoga: Edoga, who the Cowboys tried to trade for last year, [signed]( a one-year contract. Profile: The 2019 third-rounder made one start at left guard for the Falcons last season. He also has starting experience at right tackle from his time with the Jets. Fit: Edoga will provide versatile depth along the Cowboys' offensive line. Image: @dallascowboys Ekeler [Austin Ekeler] Austin Ekeler would like to stay with Chargers “under the right circumstances” Details: Ekeler, appearing on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast, praised the Chargers organization and made clear that his trade [request]( is strictly financial. - He is willing to rescind the request if the Chargers offer him a suitable long-term deal. Underpaid: Ekeler is set to make $6.25 million in the final year of his contract. He is the NFL’s 14th highest-paid running back based on per year average. Production: The 27-year-old’s production is worthy of a raise. He totaled 1,637 scrimmage yards and scored 20 touchdowns last season. Insider's Take: The Athletic’s Daniel Popper expects the Chargers to [find]( a middle ground with Ekeler — though he thinks the situation could drag into training camp. Image: David Rosenblum/Icon Sportswire Falcons [Tyree Wilson] Falcons likely to draft a pass rusher with No. 8 pick Details: The [insight]( comes from The Athletic’s Josh Kendall, who notes that the Falcons have not added a pure pass rusher this offseason – despite it being the team’s top need. - The Falcons ranked 31st in sacks last season. Checked Off: Atlanta addressed needs at safety (Jessie Bates), defensive tackle (David Onyemata), and linebacker (Kaden Elliss) last week. Which should allow the team to take the best available pass-rusher at No. 8. Wilson: Kendall suspects the pick could be used on Texas Tech’s Tyree Wilson. The 6-foot-6, 275-pounder tallied 61 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 7 sacks across ten games last season. Interesting: Kendall thinks the Falcons are likely to pass on Georgia DT Jalen Carter, who has been red-flagged for maturity and work ethic concerns.
