Zach Wilson stuck in limbo as the wait for an acceptable trade offer. In the meantime, he’s skipping team workouts (voluntary). espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Some takeaways from Joe Douglas presser:

* Didn't mention Brock Bowers by name, but was obviously referring to him when he said there's a TE who is 'a swiss-army knife...and can really stress a defense.'

* On whether he'd draft a TE in the first round: Mentions Kittle, Kelce

GM Joe Douglas will have his pre-draft press conference at 10. Perhaps there will be an update on QB Zach Wilson -- or not. Wilson has been on the trading block for months. He's not attending the off-season program as he waits for his situation to be resolved.

Daniel Jeremiah (Daniel Jeremiah), on a national conference call, on what he thinks the would do at 10 if the choice is between TE Brock Bowers and the OT2 (Joe Alt is gone):

'My gut tells me I think they would take Bowers. (Joe Douglas) comes from an organization ... in

Agree with D-Wood. Bowers is a good player, a unique prospect, but the need and positional value are greater at OT. That said, I think Bowers is in play at 10.
