Broaddus:Quinn eyeing Molden

[Pessimist_cowboy]

In the 2nd round. Said both coaches and scouts are in. Says Quinn would move him to safety just like he moved Kazee from CB to safety after he was drafted. Other targets at 44 Holland, Ossai, Bolton.

note:draft101 is live right now on 105.3 the fan. Some good nuggets.

Lets hope we go with the other 3 targets.

 

[CATCH17]

Interesting..

Do they see him as a Free or Strong?

Im watching some of his stuff right now and he is making plays when he is playing underneath like a SS does in a cover 3.

Barf.

Holland is the only one of that group I'd want at #44.

Molden is a 3rd round prospect at best IMO. He's limited to nickel and slot.....and spare me the "his instincts tho" comments. He's small, slow, and short playing against alpha athletes and 6'-2"+ receivers that run 4.4s.

One more target at FS is good news. It sounds like we will finally address the position in a serious way

 

[Daygoboy6191]

Not the targets I'd go after tbh

 

[Gaede]

Fan of each of those guys, and think they would all help our defense

What can you tell us about the actual player on the field..anybody can find his pro day info

 

[RS12]

Two corners in the first two rounds? Risen might turn in his fan card. Hope those two are real good at covering and tackling because with the trash in front of them it will be a necessity.

Good college player. Best playing zone underneath in the slot which is why I would imagine there may be some real interest with the new defensive staff. That said, he cannot (at least I'm sure of it) play outside against NFL caliber receivers and I would not want to put him in single high safety coverages as he doesn't have the footspeed or length.

Their interest in him is to put him at single high. He did that at Washington besides playing in the slot.

In other words, they're targeting safety or LBer at 44.........

Molden is the #2 option at FS in my eyes. Would be a good pick at 44. Tyrann Mathieu is obviously a very lofty comp...but I think it’s a pretty good 1 for Molden

 

[Carson]

Pretty much, whomever the fans are chasing in the first few rounds, we won’t go after.

IMO

Horn
Molden
Williams

That will be our first 3 picks

He did not play single high at any significant clip in college.

Clearly Quinn is targeting high competitive type of players.

Isn’t Ossai an Edge who was a former off the ball backer?

 

[sjmike]

No way he goes in he second round. Too many better players will be there

horrible draft IMO

He did not play single high at any significant clip in college.

This is from Dane Brugler:

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Washington, Molden played a nickel role in head coach Jimmy Lake’s five-man starting secondary, lining up primarily vs. the slot receiver while also seeing reps as a single-high safety. He was part of a secondary in 2018 with three future draft picks (Byron Murphy, Taylor Rapp, Jordan Miller) before announcing himself as a legitimate NFL prospect as a junior in 2019, leading the team in tackles, passes defended and interceptions. With his reactive athleticism, Molden quickly processes pass/run and stays coordinated in zone and man coverage to make plays on the ball. While scrappy and smart, you wish he were longer and faster to provide the versatility to play outside. Overall, Molden’s lack of ideal size, length and twitch will be a disadvantage at times vs. NFL skill players, but his instincts, competitive nature and read/react skills are tailor-made for a starting nickel role who shouldn’t leave the field (defense or special teams). GRADE: 2nd Round (No. 45 overall)
