Top QBs to throw … On further review, multiple sources are reporting that both of this year’s top-rated QB prospects for the 2015 draft – Jameis Winston of Florida State and Oregon’s Marcus Mariota – have indicated that they will participate in the throwing drills for the position at the scouting combine on Saturday. In the past, top-rated QBs have usually chosen to sit out the combine passing drills, where they would be working with unfamiliar receivers running sometimes unfamiliar routes and instead worked out at scripted sessions on their own campuses.

You can hear a lot by listening … One of the bonuses of the combine is that the coaches and G.M.s of every team hold short press conferences. And while most don’t offer much past platitudes and cliches, sometimes one can pick up some legitimate information by listening closely to the tea leaves. Here’s the full interview schedule of coaches and GM.s courtesy of CBS Sports which gets underway literally as we speak. And the NFL Network covers many of these interviews either live or on tape.
