Howard Smith-US PRESSWIRE

You’ve likely read a lot of articles recently that referred to a conference call that NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock held on Wednesday, February 15. While those articles contained bits and pieces of what was said, there is a lot of information that didn’t make it out to the masses.

Good news, the full transcript is now online. The Detroit Lions were the focus of three different questions. One was about the team in general, one about the offensive tackles that could be available for them in the first round and one about Michigan Wolverine Mike Martin and the likelihood of the Lions drafting another defensive tackle.

Besides Martin, other college players of local interest discussed were Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins and Jerel Worthy, Michigan’s David Molk and Western Michigan’s Jordan White.

Read the transcript here.

We’re just about a week away from the start of the 2012 scouting combine in Indianapolis. The invite-only event is a prime opportunity for draft hopefuls to showcase their skills and also get poked, prodded and grilled by NFL front office execs.

The on-field portions of the combine are held at Lucas Oil Stadium but it is not open to the public. Thankfully, NFL Network’s coverage gives the average fan a view inside and they just announced their schedule today.

Take a look:
