I'm watching the Combine coverage on NFL Network, and here are some snippets (will update as the day goes on):Mike Tomlin was asked if he was looking for more offense or more defense in the draft, and he said that he was looking at the third phase of the game Special Teams, that he was looking at all three phases and would draft whatever would help him win. One can't help but notice he was letting it slip a little that the Steelers are going to try and upgrade their special teams.Lane Kiffin tells the NFL Network the the Raiders will not have Aaron Brooks back next season. But he goes on to say that he had a nice meeting with Jerry Porter, and they will be getting off to a fresh start next year and he fully expects for Jerry to be a big part of the offense next season."David Carr is our starting Quarterback, all we said was that we were willing to listen to trade offers." Rick Smith said that he likes David Carr, and he likes his abilities, but that no player isn't availible for trade for the right offer, even the quarterback.Southern Cal. Center Ryan Kalil weighed in at a very solid 299 pounds, showing that he has the frame needed to survive the NFL.

There isn't exactly a decent QB market out there. Jeff Garcia or Matt Schaub don't have great arms for the Raiders Gunslinging ways and I can't see them going after someone like David Carr or Jake Plummer. The rest really isn't a suprise to me. Of course the Texans aren't going to tip their hand even if they're going to move Carr.
