Couple of interesting prospect notes from Pauline's board

[Hawkeye0202]

Honestly, I'm starting to think Lawerence may be the only player we all can guess he's going 1st overall. After that, who knows until NFL coaches and scouts start breaking them down.

I agree, doesn't mean he lacks instincts, just one person's point of view, but it make you pause a little bit, especially if they use a top 5 pick to select him.

You can sort of see it in the tiny bit of tape out there. When he's not blitzing, he's regularly a step behind other defenders in deducing plays. He's so incredibly gifted physically though that he makes up for it.

I think Parsons may have the highest upside of any defender, but man would I be trigger shy with that pick.

If you don't to LB at 4th or DL - I think you have to trade down, because I am not sure you want to use a 4th for players who might be available later in Round 1. Somebody will won't to move up to get a QB....or a WR. I think moving down to around 10th you might still be able to get a solid OL and or a LB. I like Parsons, but he has to be a difference maker.....

No dl not worth it if your extending Smith sorry.


I would trade down no matter and gain more picks. I want Surtain or Horn unless Parsons falls. A good lb fall back option is Joe Tyrone or Hamilcar Rashard.

Js both would suffice

 

[cjlopez]

I can see trading down, but how much and for who. You better have a few players targeted later in the Rounds. Plus with this year being what it was in College....you better hope your scouting dept is ready to pick and have more picks. This is not the year to have Premium Picks...I think more is better this year to cast a wider net. I do think we need a CB...so I won't argue there, but we also need to come out with a LB and an OFFENSIVE LINEMAN.

I dont know what hes talking about re: Parsons




looks like he has good instincts here. Look at the second play in this clip...

You can almost guarantee that Sewell will go to the Bengals either at 2 or 3 (where they will likely be picking).

 

[Future]

Just remember some things college players can camouflage will not work or be enough in the NFL.

This is definitely true for Parsons.

I don't but the instincts thing, necessarily, but he definitely gets away with dancing around blocks in a way that he won't be able to in the NFL.

That video is spot on. How he weaved through that oline to get the reverse is incredible

We better fix the interior of the DL or these slip type linebackers are going to struggle, which I believe both Lve/Jaylon fall into that category as does Parsons.

 

[CATCH17]

We needed Lawrence badly. Everything else is a road to mediocrity.

Sewell is our 2nd best option as of now I think. He solves quite a few problems for this team.

5. Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State
There is a lot to love about Micah Parsons, as he’s a tall, athletic linebacker who makes plays all over the field and impacts games. Parsons is fast in a straight line as well as laterally, makes plays both behind the line of scrimmage and in pursuit, and covers a great amount of area on the field in coverage.

While he has great upside, I am concerned about his instincts. Parsons is a bit slow to read and diagnose on occasion, but he makes up for it at the college level with superior athleticism. That won’t be as easy in the NFL.

11. Patrick Surtain II, CB, Alabama
Patrick Surtain II is a big, physical corner who has a great combination of athleticism and muscle. He physically beats down opponents to defend the pass, but I’m concerned with the way he constantly faceguards opponents and rarely gets his head back around to locate the ball.


4. Penei Sewell, OT, Oregon
Penei Sewell is a fluid, strong left tackle who easily slides out in pass protections and shows a lot of ability blocking in motion. He’s fundamentally sound, strong, and has upside.

If there is one red flag in Sewell’s game, it’s that he doesn’t block with a nasty attitude. Unlike many other top-rated offensive linemen, I don’t see Sewell working to bury opponents into the ground. Otherwise, he’s a sensational left tackle prospect for the next level.

Ability to play the ball when it arrives is my top criteria for CBs.

Awuzie is big and fast. Not a burner but faster than many successful CBs. The problem is that he struggles to play at the point the ball arrives.

An off-ball LB needs to be a perfect player in order to be worth a top 10 pick.

I agree, better be a three down player and have star abilities against both the run and the pass.

 

[visionary]

No to Parsons

Not picking LB in top 5 unless he’s the next Ray Lewis

Who the hell is Pauline and what does she know?

 

[Rockport]

Parsons sounds like Jaylon pre-injury.

No surprise you believe everything on the internets.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

This guy has to be kidding about Sewell. The dude is as nasty As they come. He plays with a ton of aggression.

 

[StoneyBurk]

Voch Lombardi and Jeff Cavanaugh both questioned Parsons ability to read play fast

 

[baltcowboy]

That’s why you don’t draft him. Pauline in nit picking Sewell.

 

[baltcowboy]

Surtain got burnt bad this week but most people wont see it because we dropped it. I dont want him at all in round 1.

I saw the play. The safety blew the coverage. The problem with Surtain is Alabama is just too good defensively to rate him. To be honest I feel the same about the quarterbacks (Lawrence and Fields). As a freshman Surtain held his own against Murray and CeeDee he is legit.
