Honestly dont like either of those guys at 20

 

[Mikexike]

give me option A

I solidify the back end and I get a Great Lb prospect we absolutely need.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Option B

I think Styles has significantly more upside than Allen.

 

[cnuball21]

Dont love either but I would take B.

Thieneman is higher than Allen for me.

 

[Mikexike]

Option B

I think Styles has significantly more upside than Allen.

i agree, but hard for me to pass on downs.

 

[TheDank]

How about Styles and Mcneil-Warren?

Otherwise probably A. Styles and Downs are very close for me so the player at 20 ends up being a bigger differentiator.

 

[beware_d-ware]

The way I see it

• Styles is a top 5 player in this class, no holes in his game.
• Downs is a top 10 player in this class, no holes in his game.
• Allen is probably a 25-40 guy. Solid starter at a low-value position who's not going to be bad, but might not be that good.
• Theineman is more of a 40-60 guy. Guy at a low-value position who might be really good (high football IQ, my #1 priority among safeties), but might be really bad (small and a straight-up poor tackler, probably my #2 priority among safeties).

I suppose I'd take the Downs/Allen combo between the two.

Think you are low on Thieneman...Top 30 in Bruglers latest list and I think he could go end of 1st.

 

[Hardline]

A:
Because Downs is a blue chip talent.

 

[reddyuta]

Styles,a trade down from 20 and Emmanuel mcniel warren.

I like how Thieneman always ends up around the ball, but he doesn't always make the play. He's got some bad misses where he over-pursues the ball carrier, runs straight into a blocker, gets punished with a stiff arm, etc. You could make a Yakety Sax montage out of his lowlights.

Some of those misses are a result of the huge volume of tackles he attempts, and I'd like to see his missed tackles stat as a percentage. But my impression is that he's a lot less reliable than I'd want for a top 20 safety.

 

[MonsterD]

Hard to pass up Downs but I take B. Theinmann is going to be a great safety too but he won't be the general of the secondary like Downs.

 

[cowboyec]

A.

 

[My3Sons]

Who would you rather?

Option A:
Downs and CJ Allen

Options B:
Styles and Theimann

Downs and Styles are both good value at 12. CJ or Theimann would take a trade down from 20 imo.

 

[stilltheguru]

A

 

[Gambit]

If these are our only options I guess A.

Passing on Downs would be difficult

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Whatever scenario gives me Downs. CJ Allen is rich at 20 but if I got Downs I wouldn’t care.

Fair...but I would be interested to see that missed tackle stat as well.

Having 3 years in a row of 90+ tackles is insane IMO especially considering he was also playing some center field at Purdue.

Evenly split but A
