It'll be very interesting to see where White ends up. He's not a finished product but his college production and highlight tape are pretty awesome. Would love to see him and the Maniac wreaking havoc together but I think he'll be gone by then and it's not exactly our biggest need.

Yeah... He won't make it to 26, but we can dream, right?

Saw that on the NFL Network. 

 

That is just awesome.

Gary Johnson in the 4th-5th would be nice. He ran 4.43. I've been a fan of him for a while... I'm not sure he lasts til the late rounds now, though. Bobby Okereke is another later round prospect I like.

Anything on Jaylon Ferguson?

 

Hes the Small school pass rushing terror that most here are cool on?

 

Ive seen no numbers on him.   Was he uninvited for some reason?

 

Any info would be appreciated.

Gary Johnson is having a good day.

 

I agree. He is worth a Day 3 flyer. 

 

I am still holding out hope that we bring in Tranquil in the 4th, 5th or so.

He's one of the players with off-the-field incident. He got into a fight in a McDonalds restaurant or something when he was 18...

The NFL rescinded his invite... He had some issues in his background check. 

 

These numbers are off the charts though. Even though he did play mostly against non-Power Five teams.

To Denver at #10?     Or higher?

I don't think it's out of the question, but it just depends on the DL guys and how desperate teams get for QB's. I don't think he makes it out of the top-15 for sure.

Let the Cowpies draft him.

I think you’re probably in the right neighborhood. Denver might be as far as he falls. Vic Fangio and the Bears took Roquan Smith in the top 10 last year, so positional value would not be an issue.

For the sake of argument......IF Eberflus wanted this guy so he could run a more traditional 4-3, inserting him in at the MIKE and sliding Walker to SAM would still give us roughly the same sideline to sideline coverage as having Geathers in the same role.

 

At least in my humble opinion....

We run a lot of nickel to counter 11 personnel so we don’t often have 3 linebackers on the field. When we call cover 1 or cover 3, having a strong safety who is strong against the run and can also drop into zone coverage is very important. 

 

Its damn near impossible to play effective cover 1 without a lightning quick free safety (Hooker) with ball skills, and a multidimensional strong safety (Geathers) who can penetrate gaps when needed (cover 1) and also drop into coverage (cover 2 & 3). 

 

If we drafted a linebacker then it would cut into Walker’s playing time. We need to ask if an upgrade is even needed or if our depth is that poor. Then there’s also a possible BPA argument that could be made. That’s another debate and an argument can be made either way.
