2/1- Who's Your Pick

[TNCowboy]

I'd take Jahdae Barron over Will Johnson every day of the week.

 

[Dalmations202]

Shemar Stewart
Walter Nolen
Jalon Walker
Derrick Harmon
Kenneth Grant
Mike Green

I would trade down 5 spots or so, and still pick up one of these guys-- if possible (takes two to trade). If I couldn't trade down, this is my order I would take them on 2/3/25.

Will Johnson and it's not close. I think he'll be making Pro Bowls by his 2nd or 3rd season.

If Johnson was unavailable, and say Jeanty dropped in the re-shuffle, I would probably draft Green or Pearce. You could sell me on either. Nolan is absolutely in play too.

I'm not bothering with Josh Simmons. We have gambled on so many of those injury rehab candidates, and they've come back to bite us every time. The only one I can remember who worked out is Sean Lee, and it's not like he overcame the injury bug either.

I've never seen what the actual knee injury is for Simmons.

I could swear I read patella tendon a while ago. but I am not 100% positive.

 

[J-man]

Walker, Pearce, Johnson, Williams, Nolen or Burden
Probably in that order for me.

Lance just took Nolen for the Cowboys in his first mock draft. Sounds good to me, we've needed a better interior pass rush for a long time.


"Mason Graham gets most of the buzz as the consensus top defensive tackle in this year’s draft, but I like Nolen's disruptive ability on all three downs more."

Overview​

Nolen has NFL-starting size but won’t blow you away with his physical traits. However, he gains quick advantages with his explosiveness into contact and ability to beat up blockers when singled up. He has the athletic talent to play into gaps but needs to play with better hands to keep himself clean at the point of attack. He wins as a rusher with his athleticism and play strength, and doesn’t need to be schemed for. The pass rush still requires refinement, but he already flashes quick-win moves that foreshadow good pressure and sack production as a pro. Nolen’s blend of explosiveness and playmaking talent create high upside as a three-down interior lineman.

Strengths​

• Impressive playmaking production as an interior defender.
• Twitchy off the snap and into blockers with good pop.
• Power to punch and shove defenders aside to take over the gap.
• Can absorb double teams or play across blocker’s face and into backfield.
• Outstanding body control to regain balance and make a play.
• Ability to pressure the pocket creates three-down value.
• Sets up his edge-to-edge rush challenges.
• Able to bend and rip his way under redirect blocks.
• Rush stays alive with active hands and secondary effort.
