head coach Mike McCarthy and the Cleveland Browns organization have made sense ever since the Packers fired McCarthy after their week 13 loss. Now reports indicate that the Browns are indeed making a serious effort to bring McCarthy in
Darnell Savage Green Bay Packers Jersey , at the very least to interview for their vacant head coaching position.There are plenty of reasons to make a logical connection between the two parties. John Dorsey, a former Packers executive, is the Browns’ general manager. Eliot Wolf, another former Packers executive, is his right-hand man. Alonzo Highsmith, yet another former Packers personnel man, holds a prominent role in Cleveland’s scouting department.Adding in a talented young quarterback in Baker Mayfield and it’s easy to see why McCarthy would be interested in the job. Now we have the first firm report that the Browns have contacted McCarthy about the possibility of coaching the team in 2019, as reported by the Toronto Sun’s John Kryk.Cleveland is interviewing a wide list of individuals

One name that both teams have reportedly asked to interview is Dan Campbell, the New Orleans Saints tight ends coach. Expect Josh McDaniels to receive a request from the Browns as well.Still, at least one individual thinks the McCarthy-to-the-Browns possibility is already a done deal:Bob McManaman is a beat writer for the Arizona Cardinals, who reportedly made overtures to McCarthy recently. The Cardinals offered him complete personnel control, as reported by CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora on Sunday, but McCarthy reportedly turned that offer down. La Canfora further reported that McCarthy plans to sit out 2019, though that could change if given the right opportunity.It’s too early to trust reporting about a deal being in place between McCarthy and the Browns, but all the connections make sense

But they started day two by turning their attention toward the offensive side, specifically the offensive line.With the 44th overall selection, the Packers landed center Elgton Jenkins, who played multiple positions on the line in his college career. For Mississippi State, Jenkins started all 26 games at center over his final two years in Starkville after making starts at left tackle (5), left guard (2), and right tackle (1) in his first two collegiate seasons.

He did not run the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, but he posted the seventh-best bench press number among all offensive linemen (29) and is lauded for his ability to anchor down. Jenkins’ hand placement and ability to gain leverage is efficient despite not having elite athleticism. Interestingly enough, new Packers quarterbacks coach Luke Getsy spent time in Starkville last season as offensive coordinator & wide receivers coach, and was given a first-hand look at Jenkins.Curiously, Jenkins was announced at the draft podium as a guard despite catching the attention of NFL scouts for his play at center. Without a clear backup to Corey Linsley on the Packers’ roster, Jenkins will instantly provide a second-string option at the position and may be able to challenge newcomer Billy Turner for snaps at right guard.

After watching the Minnesota Vikings select NC State’s Garrett Bradbury in the first round yesterday, Green Bay drafted the second center of the draft just four selections before Texas A&M’s Erik McCoy was chosen by the New Orleans Saints.Barring a trade, the Packers will be back on the clock at pick 75 in the third round.
