We'll have to wait and see. Reggie Nelson-DB-Player Apr. 27 - 3:06 pm et The Rock Hill Herald reports that the Panthers don't have Florida's Reggie Nelson as the second-rated safety after LSU's LaRon Landry.No surprise; we feel Nelson has been overrated by draftniks after having one strong season at Florida. We're guessing Texas' Michael Griffin, a better all-around safety with far more experience, is ahead of Nelson. Brian Kelly-DB-Buccaneers Apr. 27 - 3:02 pm et Bucs cornerback Brian Kelly could be part of a draft-day deal with Detroit that nets Tampa Bay the No. 4 pick overall.MLive reports the Bucs and Falcons are actively speaking about moving up to No. 2. The proposed deal with Tampa would require the Bucs and Lions to trade first-round picks, net Detroit Tampa's second-round pick, and a late-rounder. The Lions would then take Gaines Adams at No. 4. Adrian Peterson-RB- Player Apr. 27 - 11:19 am et Browns GM Phil Savage said that Adrian Peterson's re-injured collarbone has not affected their opinion of him for this draft.Yeah, they probably weren't going to take him either way. Peterson seems unlikely to fall out of the top 12 because of the injury, but he's a longshot to be a top-five pick now.Calvin Johnson-WR- Player Apr. 27 - 11:10 am et Veteran Cleveland Plain Dealer writer Tony Grossi is confident the Browns would take Calvin Johnson if he's on the board at number three.Which he won't be. Every mock that has Johnson falling to four is going to be scrambled. Whether it's through a trade or not, it would be a major surprise if Johnson fell past the second pick. Cleveland will probably choose between Brady Quinn and Joe Thomas.</div>Pro Football Talk, so take it with a grain of salt.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>POSTED 3:13 p.m. EDT, April 27, 2007RUMORS FLY OF QUINN TO RAIDERSThere are rumors right now in media circles that the Raiders are closing in on a deal with (drum roll, please) Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, who would then be named the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.Adam Schefter of NFL Network tipped us off to the rumor.
