2018 Draft Chatter

Jaylen samuels should be our new running back

That sounds like excuses. We're talking three years. That's less than 2 TFLs a year. I assure you Vita Vea's not pinning his ears back one gapping and he put up double that number. What you describe is a 1 tech. They're not drafting a 1 tech in the first round here. If they take a DT he's going to have to play the 3 for Marinelli. Which means getting up the field and making plays in the backfield. Something Payne hasn't done.

Actually what was said was they have to have 3 tech traits...... Doesn't mean they will play the 3. That being said I agree with you on Payne, it's very alarming

Again, the "tied up blockers"excuse is all too convienent; someone forgot to tell Marcell Dareus, A'Shawn Robinson, Jarran Reed, et cetera.

In fairness, Reed and Dareus were DEs in the Bama 3-4. Payne was a NT. Robinson played DE in 2013, moved to NT in 2014 and then back to DE in 2015. He had zero sacks in 2014 as the NT but 9 total sacks the two years he was at DE. If you look at the NTs in the Bama defense, none really put up big sack or TFL numbers.

A player that strong and explosive should have more than 5 tackles for loss over 3 years. Especially on a defense that talented.

Maybe but was just pointing out comparing Payne to Reed or Dareus isn’t exactly an apples to apples comparison.

Austin Corbett - C - Wolf Pack
Nevada OL Austin Corbett will work out for the Tampa Bay Bucs, Tennessee Titans, Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys, according to Tony Pauline.

Corbett is likely viewed at a variety of positions, mostly center and guard, and could fill a utility role early on after being selected in the third or fourth round. That is an important player on NFL rosters, and Corbett could use it to develop into a starting role.


Jumbo Joe’s replacement

Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline relays that Boise State LB Leighton Vander Esch has both a private workout and official visit scheduled with the Dallas Cowboys.

Pauline was hearing rumblings of the Cowboys' interest in Vander Esch dating back to the Senior Bowl. That interest has understandably not abated following a strong showing at the NFL Scouting Combine -- the 6-foot-4, 256-pounder tested in the 96th percentile of NFL linebackers, the best overall mark in the position group. Holding pick No. 19 for April's draft, Dallas is near the front edge of Vander Esch's likely draft range.

===============
It's a huge day on the pro-day calendar, as Sam Darnold is set to throw for NFL teams. The Georgia pro day is complete, and USC's is about to get underway. Here are a few notes from yesterday.

The big news from Florida State's pro day Tuesday was Derwin James not doing position drills, which irked a few people.

On the other hand, pass rusher Josh Sweat continues to impress. Sweat clocked anywhere from 6.88 to 6.95 in the three-cone and looked good in both defensive line and linebacker drills. The linebacker drills were run by the Baltimore Ravens.

The Cincinnati Bengals, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets all had coaches on hand to watch Sweat, who will be working out for the San Francisco 49ers later this week.

After the workout, Sweat interviewed with the Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Bucs, who sent their general managers.

Workout/Visits

Arizona State linebacker Christian Sam, who timed as fast as 4.69 at his pro day last week -- an improvement from his combine mark of 4.75 -- is working out for the Houston Texans today. Sam also had dinner with the team last night.

After a very full schedule at NC State's pro day,Nyheim Hines of North Carolina State worked out for the Tampa Bay Bucs yesterday and will be working out for the Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saintsand Dallas Cowboys next week.

Staying with the Dallas Cowboys, we initially reported Boise State linebacker Leighton Vander Esch as being a target for the team during our Senior Bowl coverage. The junior is set to work out for Dallas next week and will be making an official predraft visit to see the Cowboys.

Central Michigan pass rusher Joe Ostman, who crushed his pro-day workout, is on an official visit to see the Los Angeles Rams today.

we got a good one from Emporia State once...DT Leon Lett.
maybe this time,we get 1 from Fort Hayes St...DT Nathan Shepherd.

Glad we’re showing interest in linebackers. I liked Christian Sams tape as well. Enough wide receiver talk
