Our CB's when healthy have been good.  I don't think you take a DB in the 2nd round( My picks)

 

2 Zach Martin G/ Notre Dame

3 Hroniss Grassu C/Oregon

5 Rashad Greene WR/FSU

6 Ronald Powell OLB/Florida

7 Ben Gardner DE/Stanford (Redding's replacement)

 

Zach Martin is beyond overrated. He struggles in both pass-protection and is mediocre in run-blocking. At best, he's a scheme player who translates best to the backup position in the NFL. 

 

I'd rather not draft another centre the year after we spent a 4th rounder on one. 

 

Rashad Greene is pretty good, but he's another tiny WR (6'0, 180lb). We have too many of those already.

 

I'd stay away from ALL Florida prospects this year (exception of Purifoy). After the season they had, and considering how a team just put 400 rushing yards on them last Saturday, I'd be a bit skeptical of their D-Line and linebacker corps.

 

No way, Ben Gardner lasts till the 7th round. At the latest, 5th round for him. He's tall, strong, and is impossible to contain. Had he not gotten injured, he'd a borderline early-2nd round player. Now, probably 3rd round, 4th at the latest.

I don't think we would Re-sign Bethea.  As a good guy as he is, he isn't a play maker.  We need a real talent at the safety position. Hopefully someone big and fast

Bethea won't be back next year you can count on that. Neither of our safeties can cover but Landry does have speed and can hit. I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted a ball hawking safety early in the draft.

As the lone Stanford fan here on the website, I'd like to share some Gardner thoughts and tidbits....

 

First....   Ben is out for the rest of the year with a bad shoulder.   Needs surgery, so this is going to impact his draft stock.  

 

That said,  even if he was healthy I don't think he'd get drafted as high as you think, and I'm a Big Ben Gardner fan.

 

Second,  he's 6'4" and 275.   And while that's big enough for a 3-4 in college, I don't think it is in the pro game.   He'd have to gain 15-20 pounds,  and I'm not sure his body can support that kind of weight...  (290-295)    He maybe maxed out now at his current weight.

 

So,  between his injury and his size-limitations, it's possible he'll be available late in the draft.

 

Don't get me wrong,  Ben is a tremendous college player.   One of the leaders of the defense.   He's a terrific player and we miss him on defense right now!    I'm just not sure what his up-side is as a pro....

 

Hope this helps.....

Finally.  Someone else thinks Lokombo is a player.  I love his athleticism and versatility.  Could play Walden's spot (add pass rush) or play ILB.

Zach Martin overrated in pass protection?  Has not given up a sack this year.  He shut down Calhoun from Michigan St. and Van Noy BYU.  Martin is an above average run blocker and a good pass blocker.  He won't be available at our pick anyways probably.  Check out his film.  He dominates the Left Side.  I agree on Florida prospects except Purifoy is overrated.  We need DE, NT, ILB, drop OLB, CB, FS, OG, C, WR.  We need DE, OG, C, WR, and NT right now.  DaQuan Jones from Penn State might be a guy in the 3rd at NT.  Franklin & Chapman are not getting the job done.

      Bad clock management at the end of the game

      By Dingus McGirt · Posted

      A “fireable offense?”

      AR vs Bryce Young

      By Restinpeacesweetchloe · Posted

      It clearly isn’t all the line  in panthers land. Dalton had no issues. Young is small and meak. He gets swamped up. He isnt like Murray. If young had Murray’s body type he might be ok but he doesn’t. He looks like he don’t know what he is doing.

      Bad clock management at the end of the game

      By ColtAndOrioles · Posted

      That is so far my third biggest gripe with SS.  First being his offense seems very vanilla.  We are approaching Frank Reich status here.   Second I don't think AR is making as much progress as he should be.   Third he seems to make very poor in game decisions and then takes the blame as if that is a huge testament to his character.   I could care less about character.  Just learn how to coach.  And when the clock is at 2:01 and you have a kickoff coming against a team with 1 timeout left?  You run the ball out of the endzone and you literally scream at your special teamers or your special teams coach to do that.   The fact that he didn't literally tells me he is a stupid person when it comes to football IQ.

      Colts vs Bears post game thread

      What did you think of Luck after his first 7 games? How about Peyton Manning? Josh Allen? Richardson has a higher completion percentage (54.8) than Luck ( 49.5) and Allen ( 52.8) through his first 7 games. And less than 5% completion percentage behind Manning (59.5). Richardson has more Yards per throw (7.4) than any of them (Manning 7.1, Allen 6.8 and Luck 6.5) . Richardson has a higher QB rating (72.7) than Manning (71.8) and Luck (65.9), and less than 4% points behind Allen (76.3). Sure..... Allen is the exception that proves the rule.... ok. Richardson's accuracy is the type of throws that CAN be fixed. Those short and intermediate throws are easier to fix than the deeper routes. And oh by the way, it's not like we havent seen him do it. He had a darned near 60% completion percentage last year in the games he played as a pure rookie. The guy is coming off of season ending surgery and had no offseason and you are writing him off..... give me a break.

      AR vs Bryce Young

      By jimmy g · Posted

      Today AR is ahead, but he wasn’t when they were picked. Young WAS far more accurate in College. And he led a team to a National Championship.  That has to mean something.
