Draft Questionaire I

[darthseinfeld]

- Paxton Lynch hype: Is there smoke to that fire?

- If you trade down and target Elliott, how far can you go without losing him?

- If your taking a pass rusher in the second to pair with Lawrence, do you look for more of an LDE or RDE? Who would be your guy?

- If your drafting a DT on Day 2, are you looking for more of a 3 Tech or a 1 Tech?

- If are going to take a WR at anyone of our picks, who are you taking and where?

- Second round CB's: Who is the best fit?

- The Day 2 Safties: Rich or poor class?

- Kenneth Dixon: Could he beat out Morris and McFadden in camp?

 

[Risen Star]

- Paxton Lynch hype: Is there smoke to that fire?

Cowboys interest you mean? I don't buy it. I don't think it will matter anyway. He's not in play at 4 and will be long gone by 34.

Lynch scares me. He gives me a Jay Cutler vibe.

- If you trade down and target Elliott, how far can you go without losing him?

Honestly, I don't think more than a few spots. Elliott is very much in play to Philly at 8.

- If your taking a pass rusher in the second to pair with Lawrence, do you look for more of an LDE or RDE? Who would be your guy?

Weakside edge rusher. If Kevin Dodd's one year of productivity causes him to drop to 34 he would be hard to pass up at that spot.

- If your drafting a DT on Day 2, are you looking for more of a 3 Tech or a 1 Tech?

Need depth at both positions.

- If are going to take a WR at anyone of our picks, who are you taking and where?

Braxton Miller at 34 is a distinct possibility.

- Second round CB's: Who is the best fit?

Kendall Fuller. 3rd round - Harlan Miller.

- The Day 2 Safties: Rich or poor class?

Decent. I've seen worse. Joseph and Neal are going to be good picks in the 2nd-3rd round.

- Kenneth Dixon: Could he beat out Morris and McFadden in camp?

With this coaching staff probably not but he could be the most productive back on the field if given the chance.

 

[JBS]

We signed Thornton...we need depth at both the 3 and 1, yes...but we better take a 3 at 34 and not a 1

Good responses. Im trying to sell myself on Lynch. Extremely talented but very raw. Very Ryan Tannehill to me

If we actually start looking at cover 2 CB's and playing that style of coverage, Fuller would be our 2nd best CB the first day of camp.

Dixon is guy alot of people arent talking about as a 3 down back. One of the issues with Morris is that he doesn't offer much on passing downs. McFadden does, but he is a poor scheme fit as a runner. However os hard to project a 3rd round type back as a day 1 starter

 

[bodi]

the only thing about Dixon he has lots of miles on those legs already - IMO

Artie Burns, CB, 6 #200 Maimi 2 rd

Bronson Kaufusi, DE, 6-6 #285 BYU 2 rd

Tajae Sharpe, WR, 6-2 #195 Massachsetts 4 rd

I think there's a genuine interest in Lynch when you combine the number of visits with the talk of the Cowboys calling around about moving back up into the 1st. Has to get past the Rams though.

Risen is right on the money here. 7 is probably the furthest you should go if he is the target.

Weak side pass rushers are always harder to find. If given the choice I'm going for the weak side player. From the looks of the players though, you probably don't have much to choose from. Lots of strong side players projected around there. Maybe Spence, but thats about it.

Again, not a lot of 3T projected around our 2nd. Really deep 1T draft. I wouldn't particularly target either, but if a 3T falls I go that direction.

Would love Doctson or Miller in the 2nd/3rd, but I don't think they will be there. I would take Pharaoh Cooper or Sterling Shepard in the 3rd though.

I think Jackson would fit in well with what we've been doing, but I question if he's going to be there at this point. Fuller is another name scheme versatile and also has the ability to play some safety.

I would call it average-above average. Definitely better than what we've usually seen lately.

Dixon is my RB3. He can do everything and is a really good fit for our ZBS. Run between the tackles guy who can catch out of the backfield as well while being pretty elusive. Slight concern on tread, but talent wise he would walk in our best RB and I don't think it close.

Good RDEs dont slip into the 2nd generally. When they do there is a bit of a bust potential.

 

[AzorAhai]

Agreed. Spence is about the only one I could maybe see there for us. His stock has cooled again after only an ok combine. Other than him, maybe Ogbah? I would rather have Bullard or Dodd at 34 than Ogbah.

Ogbah is interesting. A bit boom or bust. I like him more in the mid 2nd. He does have RDE potential though

 

[KingintheNorth]

- Paxton Lynch hype: Is there smoke to that fire?
Team needs to do their due diligence on this class's QB's. Romo's health is a concern, our back-up situation is suspect, and the 2017 class looks thin. Short answer: yes.

- If you trade down and target Elliott, how far can you go without losing him?
9

- If your taking a pass rusher in the second to pair with Lawrence, do you look for more of an LDE or RDE? Who would be your guy?
BPA at DE, Lawrence allows you the flexibility to go either way.

- If your drafting a DT on Day 2, are you looking for more of a 3 Tech or a 1 Tech?
Again, BPA. We have a need for reserves at both spots. If it's close, 3 Tech is more valuable.

- If are going to take a WR at anyone of our picks, who are you taking and where?
Braxton Miller, if he somehow slips to pick 67.

- Second round CB's: Who is the best fit?
William Jackson III

- The Day 2 Safties: Rich or poor class?
Day 2 is Round 2 and 3, so overall still poor. There's like 3 guys I like there.

- Kenneth Dixon: Could he beat out Morris and McFadden in camp?
No, not even close.

Paxton: I don't think it's hype unless I missed an article saying he's going top 10. He's an athletic 6-7 QB with a strong arm, good accuracy and very good pocket awareness. Outside of vs Auburn in bowl game and vs Temple, he was highly productive as well.

Elliott: I'd like to say 7 but he's an Ozzie kind of pick for the Ravens at 6. Forsett is 30 and they have little behind him.

Pass Rusher: I wouldn't draft a LDE at 4. If we traded down, I'd take Emmanuel Ogbah. Unique physical skills can provide a very high ceiling but his floor is at least capable of manning LDE. Can work from both LDE, RDE and 3tech spots and big enough to also play limited snaps at End in 3-man fronts.

Day 2 DT: Either; Need better talent and depth on the DL. If we're going to be effective on DL, it's going to be because we can stay fresh and send guys in waves.

WR: I'd go as early as RD2 if Will Fuller lasted. Someone with petrifying, immediate speed. Create the Dallas edition of the Vermeil/Martz Rams. Doctson is interesting but he's more along the lines of what we already have. We'll see what Pharaoh Cooper runs 3/30 but he might be a candidate a little later in RD2 or early RD3.

RD2 CB: I genuinely can't tell what we want in a CB anymore.

Day 2 Safety: Poor class

Kenneth Dixon: Fan favorite in camp. Coach favorite by November.

Hype as in our interest in him.

Poor choice of words on my part

 

[Killerinstinct]

- Paxton Lynch hype: Is there smoke to that fire?

I don't think so.

- If you trade down and target Elliott, how far can you go without losing him?

7

- If your taking a pass rusher in the second to pair with Lawrence, do you look for more of an LDE or RDE? Who would be your guy?

Nassib and it might be possible to trade back and grab an extra 3rd and still nab him. 16 sacks last year.

- If your drafting a DT on Day 2, are you looking for more of a 3 Tech or a 1 Tech?

3 tech. Thornton erases the need for a 1 tech.

- If are going to take a WR at anyone of our picks, who are you taking and where?

Probably a flier on a 6th rd pick. Too many needs.

- Second round CB's: Who is the best fit?

William Jackson III

- The Day 2 Safties: Rich or poor class?

Joseph, Cravens, Cash, Bell. I think it is a rich class.

- Kenneth Dixon: Could he beat out Morris and McFadden in camp?

I don't think so. Wait until next year to draft a RB when there are so many great ones coming out.

got ya. I think then our interest in not at 4. Maybe as a trade down from 4 or trade up from 34. I agree with others he probably can't make it past Denver given their offseason debacle. Probably would need to get ahead of KC at 28.

I've always felt he had some Romo to his game as far as pocket awareness and extending the play.

 

[Leadbelly]

- If your drafting a DT on Day 2, are you looking for more of a 3 Tech or a 1 Tech?

3 tech. Thornton erases the need for a 1 tech.

Doesn't Crawford erase the need for a 3 tech if Thornton's presence erases it for 1tech?

Maybe erases it for pick 34 but 67 seems in play. We're very thin inside with basically just David Irving and an injury-prone Terrell McClain.

Thornton is most likely a pure run defender, and if that's the case he will come off the field in nickle and dime which is over 60% of our snaps. Of not 70%. They want another pass rusher there, either in the mold of another 3 Tech like they used with Melton and Crawford or a DE that can flex inside. Like they did last year. Id much prefer another 3 Tech.

A 3 Technique at 34, while technicaly not being a starter, could see well over 50% of defensive snaps and up too 70% depending on what subpackages they have a role. Depends on how they choose to rush the passer in those subpackages

- If you trade down and target Elliott, how far can you go without losing him?

Tough question. Safely 7, 8-10 is a gamble I wouldn't take if I wanted him.

- If your taking a pass rusher in the second to pair with Lawrence, do you look for more of an LDE or RDE? Who would be your guy?

Either, he'll be 6 3 guy around 250-270 lbs. I think Buckner is not on the shopping list as he is too tall. Unfortunately there is no Sparq hero like Frank Clark in this draft. Well do what we can. Wouldn't be surprised if we trade back and grab Lawson. Clark 140, Lawson 130 Sparq score.

- If your drafting a DT on Day 2, are you looking for more of a 3 Tech or a 1 Tech?

I'm looking for a 3, like Javon Hargrave.

- If are going to take a WR at anyone of our picks, who are you taking and where?

Ricardo Louis in the 6th if he's there. Would be shocked if we get a WR earlier in the draft.

- Second round CB's: Who is the best fit?

Realllly like Eric Murray and scored high on Sparq. I also like Tavon Young for the slot. He's 5 9.

- The Day 2 Safties: Rich or poor class?

Richer than what people say. Better athletes at CB than Safeties but not by much. Simmons from BC gaining ground on boards. Sparq monster. Think he goes in 2nd.

- Kenneth Dixon: Could he beat out Morris and McFadden in camp?[/quote]

No

We have completely bought into Sparq scores and why not.

1) If you're referring to whether he's going to be a good NFL QB, I can't tell you that unless I know who drafts him.

2) 10th would be the farthest I'd trade down to.

3) I'd be targeting Kevin Dodd, Noah Spence, Kyler Fackrell.

4) If I'm drafting a DT on Day 2, I'm going for a 3-tech, unless a round one 1-tech type of guy falls into the 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd. Regarding DT, there is a lot of mid round talent to like in this draft.

5) If I'm drafting a WR, I'm going for a guy in rounds 3-5. I'd be looking hard at smaller, blazing fast guys that can stretch the field.

6) It really would depend on what base coverage style Marinelli/Eberflus are planning on runningoing
--Press Man/Man- Eli Apple, Mackenzie Alexander
--Zone- William Jackson III, Kendall Fuller

7) Decent. I like Sua Cravens and Karl Joseph at SS.

8) No.
