Combine Chatter Thread

[Manwiththeplan]

I don't think Wentz, Goff and Lynch are Manning, Rivers and Roethlisberger (4 combined SB wins, 13 combined pro bowls), but I do think as with that draft all three QBs will be long term starters with solid success. If we pass on all three, I think we'll look back at this draft while we are struggling during the post Romo era and spoiler alert, he isn't going to last till 41...

 

[RS12]

Yea, I had a list of guys who I hoped would be there at 34 for a BPA pick, like Jackson III, Doctson and Rankins. But I'm pretty sure all 3 are going in the first. I still like Henry, but was hoping he'd fall to the late second. Tennessee may target him, which would be a mistake if u ask me. Not the type of RB I'd pair with Mariota, but it seems like the type of move they would make.

There is WR depth but not impact at the top so I think he goes early. Rankins I am reading KC loves. I know Henry tested like a fiend but he scares me.

How mad would you be at the first 3 rounds going like this:

1. Jared Goff QB Cal
2. William Jackson III CB Houston
3. Karl Joseph S West Virginia

For the sake of you Wentz worshippers, assume Wentz went before we picked.

I like Goff but we got to go DL in the 2nd and 3rd Rd,we can get 2 true starters out of this deep group.

I would be pissed. Too much finese . We need to get better on the defensive line. I want 2 Impact DL in this draft.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Top 4, Ramsey or Elliot please, they stepped up. They are players that make this team better and see the field immediately for maximum impact. Ogbah and many other DLs flew up charts. WR Will Fuller is now a first round choice.

In the top 4, Bosa and Treadwell dropped, then Buckner fell out because of pure depth at DL. WRs as a whole were slow and took a step down the ladder as well.

Actually none of the QBs in the Draft were ever worth a top 10 choice but Lynch fell hard on most draft boards.

I'd be happy with that as long as we picked up a DT and a RB with our next two picks.

I think Hargreaves performed better then Ramsey with ball drills. Watch Ramsey on deep balls, he looks back too late and he puts himself in a bad location. Hargreaves has better hands and more fluid.

And I was a big Ramsey fan at #4. Rather trade back and get Hargreaves.

Can Hargreaves play 5 different positions (FS, SS, LCB, RCB, NLB) Ramseys' versatility is just too outstanding to over look. He's a team Captain, directs the entire field and reads plays like the next Polamalu. Jalen makes the entire Defense better from Day 1 and my Official Pet Cat....then Zeke.

I would be pretty happy if that was our 1st 3 picks. We have so many holes we can't address them all. Would love a DT that possibly slides, but I have Jackson and Joseph rated higher than where we would have took them in this scenario so its a win to me.

Switch out Karl Joseph with the best DT available and you have yourself a deal.

(This is only acceptable if Sir Carson Wentz has been selected already)

If the DL has been properly addressed in FA, I'm good. If not......

It'd be a shame not to snag a DL in a deep draft for them, but who'd be made at a franchise QB and two quality DBs in the first three rounds?

 

[Macnalty]

You shouldn't be off of it.

If you think he looks bad in the drills, just watch him play some more to feel exactly as you did before the Combine.

We get Butler and we have upgraded the DLine IMO in his rookie year.

From a lot of people's posts, there's going to be around a 50-50 split on the 4th pick. Half want the QB and half want to draft for the Romo window. Either way, there's going to be a lot of complaints about that pick.

The rest of the draft will probably be similar to usual. A few will complain, but most will probably be ok with whatever direction they go. I've only been reading here for 3-4 years, but I doubt if there's been a pick anytime recently thats been as polarizing as our 1st this year will be.

 

[Floatyworm]

Who is the one player that most changed your opinion of him for the better at the Combine? If any.

I'll give you my top 10 who killed it......

Darron Lee LB Ohio St.
William Jackson III CB Houston
Andrew Billings NT Baylor (wasn't that big of a fan to begin w/)
Joe Dahl G/T Wash. St.
Malcolm Mitchell WR Georgia
Emmanuel Ogbah RDE Oklahoma St.
Tyvis Powell SS Ohio St.
Bronson Kaufusi DE BYU
Artie Burns CB Miami
Cyrus Jones CB Alabama

My top 10 that should have stayed in bed....(expected to see more)

Hunter Henry TE Arkansas
Braxton Miller WR Ohio St.
Darian Thompson FS Boise St.
Duke Williams WR Auburn
Bralon Addison WR Oregon
De’Runnya Wilson WR Mississippi St.
Kyler Fackrell OLB Utah St.
Austin Johnson DT Penn St.
Eric Striker LB Oklahoma
Ronald Blair DE Appalachian St.

 

[Floatyworm]

Assuming he passes all of the medicals, I'd take a chance on Keith Marshall. I think he's a much better version of Dunbar.

Hard to say....You just don't know how Dunbar is gonna come back from the knee injury... And you gotta remember Marshall is coming off an ACL tear as well. Gotta be impressed w/ his 40 time though.

 

[Floatyworm]

BTW, Alexander's been dead and buried to me for some time. After that stunt, he's dead, buried, exhumed and re-buried in a much cheaper casket in like the ugliest part of the cemetery. That spot where the grass doesn't fill in right and is not really maintained.

He has been cranky lately...what gives?

 

[Floatyworm]

I didn't think Shaq Lawson was as athletic as he showed. I thought his bookend teammate was going to out shine him in the workouts.

I thought Lawson was gonna actually measure taller. 6'2 and change was disappointing. but not a deal breaker. Thought he ran pretty good considering the knee sprain he had in the playoffs.

Depends on what we do w/ the next 2 4th rounders....We gotta get some DTs in here.
