From Ourlads.
I agree with this.Interesting that he has Liafau above Eichenberg.
I think a lot will depend on what we do in FA. If they come out of FA with a legit inside option like Jewell or Wagner (end the Queen dream) I could then see them coming back in the 4th or 5th with an Eichenberg or Liafau if one was there. But if they whiff at LB in FA, then you are likely staring at using your 2nd rounder on a guy like Trotter or 3rd rounder on Wilson.
I agree with this.
I have Liafau around the 3rd round. Put on solid muscles and weight. Great hands and 26 pressures and 5 sacks. Over aggressive with an 18.9 missed tackle rate. Elite blitzer. I think he can turn into a stud.
Eichenberg should go 4th to early 5th. Good block shedder, great sideline to sideline player. I feel like Eichenberg is a guy who gets drafted and quietly plays 10+ seasons.
Yeah, Eichenberg is a guy I could live with in that 4th to 5th round range. We don't have a 4th now but who knows what Jerry might do with a move down that could net us a 4th.I really like Liafau. He's got a great motor, good speed, and he diagnoses quickly. That's a ball magnet recipe in the pros. I didn't really see him engage a lot of blocks, but as the Will in ND's scheme, that wasn't really his job. He looks willing to if asked, at the least.
Eichenberg is the old school block-stacking MLB we need, but his athleticism looks pretty marginal. The Combine could put him anywhere from 3rd round to undraftable for me
I think this should be the way to go. Get a FA LB in here and also a FA DT. You are more likely to get good play out of them early than a rookie.Need a starting MLB in FA so we can use early draft picks on OL
Yep OT in 1 and C in rd 2I think this should be the way to go. Get a FA LB in here and also a FA DT. You are more likely to get good play out of them early than a rookie.
Then you can be a bit more focused early in the draft on the OL. I am assuming Tyron is back (pure guess on my part), and with Tyler and Martin, a rookie C can slide in there and likely be solid while he learns. So you go JPJ or Barton in the 1st, or Frazier in the 2nd or Van Pran in the 3rd. Then you can even go OT at the other pick if you want or then maybe LB or DT as well.
