PACK TAGS WILLIAMS
Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that the Green Bay Packers have applied the franchise tag to defensive tackle Corey Williams.
HAYNESWORTH TAGGED, TOO
We mentioned earlier in the evening that the Titans will soon apply the franchise tag to defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.
Actually, they already have.
Haynesworth gets the non-exclusive tag, with a one-year tender of $7.5 million.
Not bad for a guy who 16 months ago took his cleats to another man's face.
From Draft Daddy:
Also, the New York Jets, Tampa Bay and Indianapolis really love defensive tackle Sedric Ellis of U.S.C. Our source thinks the Jets have the best shot of getting him at 6, but he may slip past them and a few other teams due to his injury history (right knee is getting a lot attention in Indy)....Glenn Dorsey is the ideal one gapper, but lacks the size that most scouts look for. Before you hear it anywhere, don't be surprised if the two stud defensive tackles slip out of the top 5. Both defensive tackles have issues and neither are slam dunks, but may be overdrafted because of a lack of depth at the position. Both of these guys must go to the right scheme.
---------------------------------------------
A little surprised that GB tagged Williams...
An unlikely as it is, it would be nice if the Jets would trade a 2nd to jump ahead of KC and Atlanta for Ellis... Getting an extra second and still wind up with McFadden/JLong/Gholston would save this draft for me...
