2:43pm: It’s not technically a Draft nugget but still too good to not discuss. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reporting that Tim Tebow recently worked out for the Jacksonville Jaguars…..at tight end. Weapons for Trevor Lawrence.
Update on a former first-round pick: Tim Tebow recently worked out for the #Jaguars, source said, and there has been at least some discussion of him signing. Oh, and he’s a tight end now.

2pm: The 49ers reportedly reached out to the Green Bay Packers about possibly trading for Aaron Rodgers. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, there is zero chance the Packers trade Rodgers.
12:15pm The Patriots are more tight lipped than ever about their feelings on the potential draft quarterbacks. Greg Bedard reports that this is Bill Belichick’s tightest circle ever and only he and McDaniels are inside the circle of trust.
Anybody who thinks they know how the Patriots feel about the draft QBs and how they might approach it has zero clue. Total lockbox. Anything could happen.
