DC.com Draft Show 1/24

[LatinMind]

Seantrel Henderson is a monster size wise. Alot bigger in person, wingspan is huge.

Josh Huff has a "wow" factor. Not a skinny 5'11. Crisp route running and made it easy for the QBs. Can play the outside aswell.

Mike Davis 6'2 ability, and blocked down the field aswell.

Zack Martin, looks like he can play in any scheme, can play G or T.

Aaron Donald, wins with leverage, but will be limited teams who have him on their board because of size.

Kareem Martin, didnt show passrush. Unable to get off blocks.

Hageman, loses the ball too much. Too interesting in one on one matchups and the ball goes past him.

Van Noy, too much of a rollercoaster to play OLB

Michael Sam, He is not a OLB, DE all the way

Richardson, heavy footed and cant handle speed. Not a finisher, not a mauler type bad thing especially with his size.

Draft a speed RB?
Cowboys happy with the RBs on the team

Fales?
Not a fan, little mobility not a quick thinking qb.

RD1 priority BPA

Dont get enamored with the SR Bowl guys, because there are 98 jrs and alot of them are better then whats at the sr bowl.

 

[Corso]

Interesting stuff... Thanks.

Zack Martin, looks like he can play in any scheme, can play G or T..............

I'm starting to like the idea of drafting Logan Mankins 2.0..... Slide him next to Tyron Smith and Frederick and not worry about the left side of you line for the next 10 years.

I like Donald.....

but wouldn't want to spend your #1 pick on a guy that might be a 1 or 2 down pass rush specialist

This place would go volcanic if a guard is chosen over d-line in the first round. I'd be OK with it assuming 1. he's good value and 2. D-line is addressed in other rounds.

Seems we hear that every year. BUT this year it really looks to be very true. Oh so I've heard.

I had Martin as a 3rd round pick in my mocks....But Martin blew up @ the Sr. Bowl. Guy was rock solid. Just about all the D-line guys scare me....(except for Barr) I don't see anyone that I just gotta have where we are picking in the 1st. Give me someone that I think is gonna be a solid/pro bowl 10 year guy and be happy you got him.

If this is the case, then he probably needs to drop off our radar. This defense relies heavily on tracking the football from the tackles.

Yeah Broaddus was talking about that with Donald. He said he liked Easley more than donald and Jernigan was right with Donald. mentioned watch out for Sutton if he can get down to about 300. He's playing too heavy right now

Sutton scares the crap out of me. When he is on...he is super on......But the weight he is carrying right now is really bad. No explosion whatsoever. I wouldn't be shocked to see him slip to late 2nd - 3rd round. But if he loses the weight before the combine maybe he can recover his draft stock.

Martin would be a good pick in the 2nd. Get that pass rushing DE in the first and then get a DT in the third.

3rd round? seriously? he has low 1st, high 2nd round grade....I watched every one of his games this year at ND, and he is REALLY good...has a little bit of nasty in him at times as well...while I would prefer DL in the first if the value is there, it would not upset me at all if they chose Martin, albeit after a slight trade-down in the first round...not sure he has #16/17 value just yet

Martin is going to be a top 10 pick watch

I had my doubts about his strength playing inside....but after seeing him @ the SR Bowl. The kid is a stud. I've got him penciled in to San Diego in my mock.

gotcha...I have had him with late first round grades all along and then in the bowl game for ND, he pretty much dominated, which knocked him up a few spots for me...I love his intensity and teamwork as well....he is going to be a long-time starter for some team in this league

 

[jterrell]

Martin is a prime example of a guy being overrated at the Senior Bowl.
Solid player with legit NFL talent but also with a pretty low ceiling. 4th or 5th OT and not a fit in power schemes.

Would fit our OL well and be about right in round 2 once the hype plays out. But he doesn't start in Dallas year 1.

 

[NeonDeion21]

I listened to the show and I agree with most, except for Bryan's comment on David Fales. From what I have seen, he is a quick thinker and has good feet inside the pocket.

Might be a little ambitious. He projects more to G in the NFL, and although Warmack went top 10 last year, it's still rare for a G to go that high, especially with QB being stronger at the top this year vs. last. You may be right. He is shooting up the boards after this week. If he has a good combine/pro day, some team at the top could absolutely fall in love with him. But I see him more top 20 than top 10.

Eric fisher jumped all the way to 1 overall with his sr bowl. Martin showed more than fisher. Martin dominated at 2 spots.

Totally agree in principle but if Donald really could be the Warren Sapp type of disruptive 3 that Kiffen made his bones on, I'd jump on it. Many miles to go obviously, and I never try to slot picks until a week before the draft, but Donald will be a fun guy to watch over the next couple of months.
