Tampa Bay ...Gronk?

Uhh..we will see. Gronk was looking pretty much on his last legs two years ago. To get a 4th rd pick for a guy that hasn’t played a snap for you in over a year and would never again isn’t bad at all!

Oh damn, Hightower just got picked by the Eagles.

 

Hand gone too... There aren't many long corners left in the draft.

 

@NFLfan you got another one of the long corners.

 

Good. We still have 7 picks to go haha

 

I guess we won't be signing too many UDFAs.

I would argue he won the Dwayne Allen and Philipp Dorsett trades with NE, so I'm good with getting 1 more pick even though the trade value is not ideal

It was more tongue and cheek. Those were more player deals not draft pick (Banner did nothing for us) and NE Went to 2 SB and won one with those guys...so ehhh maybe not.

You guys should take Gordon, I think he will be good.

 

He was compared to Christian Ponder. We have been there before. Lol. But many Vikes fans would not mind using a pick on him.

 

Some Vikes fans like the Hawaii QB. 

 

How about this other one Montes (or Montez)?

The Hawaii QB put up some good numbers, I like Gordon better than Ponder.

Rob Windsor - DT.  Seems to lack some weight.  Can’t see him playing here?  Camp body...

 

No idea, but that's another player PFF seems to like, He's ranked no. 164 on their board:

Windsor may have similarly transition towards the edge like former Penn State defensive tackle Anthony Zettel. He's so slight for the interior that he's likely a DPR if he stays there. Still his pass-rushing tools look like they'll translate to the NFL.

 

Sounds like a 3T in our system.

So far I give this draft a B+, not quite an A/A- but I like it. Very good, not great. I love the Pittman pick, like the Taylor pick, not sure what to make of the Blackmon pick, I actually love the Pinter pick as well. Pinter is a great athlete and a smart football player. He adds depth to our O.line. I am ok with the Eason pick, don't dislike it but the jury is still out on him. Eason has potential = tall and strong arm. 

 

If the Buckner deal is included in this draft than I give it an A. It was like we got him at 13. Getting Rivers in Free Agency is an upgrade to Brissett. We have done very good in this offseason.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
