I haven&#8217;t been paying much attention, but I assume the big story focuses on whether Cleveland&#8217;s new front office will still <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/jimmy-haslam-says-homeless-man-convinced-him-to-draft-manziel\/\">take input from a homeless guy<\/a>. That&#8217;s all well and good, but what we care about here is the Dukes. And we&#8217;d like to know if you think any Dukes will here their name called during the draft. We&#8217;re thinking that this won&#8217;t be the year, but several guys should land undrafted free agent slots. And call us crazy, but we wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if one or two of those guys ended up making a roster. Khalid Abdullah, Taylor Reynolds, Mitch Kirsch, and Gage Steele all have plenty of talent. Will they end up playing on Sundays?
