My thoughts on some draft picks.

[Briggs32]

We really need a good draft this year. I'd love to see 3 starters from this draft. We need at least 2 and a couple of others who can contribute right away in some way. 

 

Guys who I'd love but won't fall to us:

Jaylon Smith

Myles Jack

Deforest Buckner

 

1st round options I'd be fine with:

Jack Conklin

Taylor Decker

Eli Apple

Noah Spence

Reggie Ragland

 

2nd/3rd round picks:

Vadal Alexander

Joshua Garnett

Von Bell

Nick Martin

Cody Whitehair

Ryan Kelly

 

Later picks:

Jordan Howard

Jeff Driskell

Nate Sudfeld

 

As far as my first rounders go, we need a starter.  If our staff believes Spence has put his problems in the past, then we should take him. We need a pass rusher. I have no problem with a tackle either because we could slide Mewhort back inside. If we landed Conklin or Decker and Alexander, Garnett or Martin, I'd be content with those being our 2 first picks. Solidify the OL

 

I do kind of want Bell pretty badly. Pagans has shown he can be good with DBs and Bell could be our ball hawk in center field. While he would need to improve his tackling and be more aggressive and willing in the run game, I'd love this pick. 

 

We we also need more in our run game. If Howard is there in the 4th or later, I could live with that. I also put Driskell or Sudfeld because we need a backup QB. Tolzien was a cheap guy with experience, but I don't want to see him in. If Luck does go down again, I'd like to see a QB who can still run our offense and get the ball downfield. Driskell and Sudfeld can make throws dowfield.  Our offense was pretty limited that way last year when hasselback was in. 

 

Anyways, just a few thoughts.

The only guy you got up there that I'm wanting nothing to do with is Spence but the rest of that looks pretty good. I think you'd be getting probably 3 starters if not a definite to with your 1st 2 pics. I think your spot on with Bell. He's shown he's got the measurable's.

[Qcolts]

Spence is unlikely IMO with the lack of success we have had with players with character concerns in the past few years. I do not believe Grigson can take that kind of risk in this draft with our first pick.

 

Jeff Driskel is awful. He has no pocket awareness whatsoever.

[Briggs32]

I'd also love to see Scooby Wright III with our need for another ILB and Jacoby Brissett as a late round option at QB.

[BProland85]

With LB now a huge need, here are a few guys I like...

 

Round 2 - Kamalei Correa

 

Round 3 - Kentrell Brothers

 

Round 4 - Jordan Jenkins

 

Round 6 - Victor Ochi

Sio Moore will surprise a lot of people if he starts. But I'd take Wright in the 3rd. Or Josh Perry in the 4th if we pick an ILB early. I even like Deion Jones and Dom Alexander. Jones would need to bulk up about 10lbs, but I think he can be really good. Both of those guys are fast and athletic with coverage skills. Josh Perry is more of a 2 down thumper, but I still think he can be a good ILB. And Scooby Wright is going to be a really good player. Mark that down.

Agree with you on Moore. He is really good at coverage. He's injuries are a concern. I check Scooby Whight's combine numbers today ( I know I'm late). 4.90 40??? That scares me.

i woudnt be surprised if we take Elliot if he falls to us, the forum would blow with angry people but they wont be so angry when and if he turns out to be the next AP, which could be possible

Every day that passes it seems less and less likely that Elliot would make it to our pick. That being said, if he's there and he's our pick, I think it's kind of hard to be mad about that. He's pretty consistently listed as a top 10 talent I  this draft. I understand you don't draft first round running backs unless they're  game wreckers, and we have OLine and defense as bigger priorities, but I wouldn't get the pitchforks out for that pick.

 

The majority of the people here though? They definitely might.

AP is the GOAT at the RB position. Zeke can't be compare'd to him. And will never play on AP's level.

you have nothing to base that assumption on except your own opinion which makes your argument void

You right. We don't know how a player will performe in the NFL before he play in the NFL. Just an overreaction by me. I get angry reading the post, I don't know why.

lol believe me i do to my friend. especially the way the offseason has been, i had one day where several people got angry at me for all my posts about grigson, but ive cooled off and trying to get on board with what were doing

[Briggs32]

Wright reminds me of Borland.  Not a great athlete and a little short....but stout.  Great motor and great instincts.  Borland was a stud as a rookie.
