Scott pioli is giving his press conference at the Combine now. You can watch live on NFLN. If you are at work, like me, you have to rely on Twitter. I will be posting Josh Looney’s Tweets so keep refreshing this thread. Newest stuff will be at the bottom.

Pioli says that’s he’s been in conversation with re-signing a lot of KC UFAs

Pioli says TE is a position of need and KC will talk to a handful of ends in what he thinks is a deep class…here at the combine

JoshLooney
Pioli points to medical testing as key component of combine

RT @greggrosenthal: Pioli says interview process isn’t as important as it used to be because players are too well-coached for every question

JoshLooney
Pioli – 3 4 nose is a difficult position to find…period

JoshLooney
Pioli…offensive line may not be THE priority in draft but it is definitely a position of need.

JoshLooney
Pioli- offensive players becoming more difficult to evaluate…due to offenses colleges are running

Hmmm: I’m translating some of these as 3-4 NT hard to find (okay, that one wasn’t translated), OL not likely to be used with #1 pick, and offensive players are too much of a gamble to use a #1 pick on because they are harder to evaluate. Now the questions are what’s their board order for which DEF players they are taking with #1, and which one of those will fall to use first? I doubt they’ll tip their hand for their board order. Dang.

Kris:

Good points but you may be reading too much into it. Pioli could go o-line in the first round and claim ‘positional value’. I still think McClain is the frontrunner, but you never know.
