First Pick?

[cowboybish]

For the heck of it, who will be our first pick?

 

[morasp]

They've been alternating Offense and defense in round 1 like clockwork. Parsons Tyler Smith Mazi Smith Tyler Guyton. So I'll go with a defensive player since they need help everywhere.

My top 12 are
1Jeanty
2Carter
3Hunter
4Warren
5 Nolen
6Loveland
7Johnson
8Membou
9Graham
10Burden III
11Williams
12Green

I like value so the options are Carter who will be gone, Hunter who will be gone, and Nolen who I think might be there. So I'll go with Walter Nolen.

"Nolen’s blend of explosiveness and playmaking talent create high upside as a three-down interior lineman."

Strengths​

• Impressive playmaking production as an interior defender.
• Twitchy off the snap and into blockers with good pop.
• Power to punch and shove defenders aside to take over the gap.
• Can absorb double teams or play across blocker’s face and into backfield.
• Outstanding body control to regain balance and make a play.
• Ability to pressure the pocket creates three-down value.
• Sets up his edge-to-edge rush challenges.
• Able to bend and rip his way under redirect blocks.
• Rush stays alive with active hands and secondary effort.

You need to make a prediction also.

It will be either Jeanty, or Tet. Whichever one is there. Everything points to them drafting WR and RB in first 2 rounds. Then expect a defense heavy draft the rest of the way. Other than a QB late Day 2 or Day 3. Of course if a Lamb situation occurs, then that changes a little.

If they don't sign a good Slot CB before the draft I would go with CB Jahdae Barron, Texas.
People are going to say that's to high for a nickelback, I disagree. Slot is a harder position to play because they have more area to cover, no sideline to save them. A lot of teams put their best WR in the slot to give him more route running options. Kupp and Lamb do this a lot.

I have Barron ranked 16 in my top 300. It's not that much of a reach and he is the best slot by far this draft.
I've wanted them to move Bland into the slot the past few years. I don't think they will and I don't think Bland wants to do that anyways.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Will Johnson

 

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

I think if Jeanty is gone, they take a WR...Tetairoa McMillan

I don't care who it is (lying) but I want us to trade down

I noticed you did not mention his weaknesses; you over rate him

Is he lazy or take plays off

 

[Acceptablename]

Nolan would be nice if they can keep him motivated

They all have weaknesses, I Just use NFL.com's rankings, have for quite a while. It will be up to White Cotton to coach him up.

Weaknesses​

• Below-average extension and control at the point.
• Needs to play with consistent inside hands to stay clean.
• Base width can narrow on him in both phases.
• Looks to disengage from blocks too quickly at times.
• Rush needs a more diversified first-phase approach.
• Inconsistent to capture rush edge when it opens.

I think Carter, Hunter, Warren and Graham will definitely be gone. I would also scratch Loveland because I dont think we will take a TE.

If its offense Id say we would take Jeanty or Tet. Defense either Nolen or Williams.

I do think they will take Jeanty if he is there.

I wouldn't be against Jeanty. He's probably the closest to Barkley in this draft. Lance was pretty high on him.

I saw someone else say that. If his motor runs hot and cold that's not good.

 

[gtb1943]

For any lineman the first requirement is a motor that does not stop. For me, anyway.
You can be a technician or a brawler; I am fine with either one. A motor that does not stop and self discipline.

 

[rambo2]

For the heck of it, who will be our first pick?

Tet McMillan
Mathew Golden
Emeka Egbuka

Jeanty

 

[Flamma]

Jeanty

I don't think he makes it to 12.
