College pro days are attracting attention from NFL executives and coaches, including Terry Fontenot and Raheem Morris. Recently, the duo made a trip to Huntington, West Virginia, prompting speculation that an edge rusher from that area might be headed for the Falcons in the upcoming draft.

Analysts have highlighted the top needs for various NFL teams, with positions such as QB, OL, and EDGE frequently noted as priorities. Tennessee's general manager, Mike Borgonzi, remarked that "everything is still on the table" regarding this year's No. 1 overall draft pick. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns may look to resolve their quarterback situation before the draft or even acquire a quarterback without drafting one.

The Giants made headlines by signing Russell Wilson to a one-year deal, which defers their long-term quarterback decision. Other notable team needs include defensive positions for Miami given Jevon Holland's absence, along with offensive strategies for teams like the Seahawks and Broncos.

During a recent visit to Marshall for pro day, the Falcons' head coach Raheem Morris reportedly liked what he observed. However, questions remain whether the level of competition Marshall's Green faced will impact his future performance.

In other developments, Cincinnati's potential deal with Trey Hendrickson might reduce their need for an edge rusher, while New England's interest in Membou seems to be rising among draft experts.

As the draft approaches, diverse strategies unfold, reflecting each team's requirement adjustments and the valuation of upcoming draft talents. Moves by teams are anticipated, keeping fans and analysts alike engaged in the dynamic landscape of the NFL draft.
