I would take Williams off because of his off field issues.

 

[UncleOscar]

No Taco for you?

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

I like your list. I'd add QB Mahomes, TE Njoku and HB A Kamara, and I wouldn't have CB King in Rd 1. But I agree way more than I disagree.

 

[Sydla]

Mahomes is going to be the fast rising QB because teams are so desperate for QBs who ends up, not surprisingly, stinking the bed.

I don't trust kids that play in these air raid style offenses like Baylor and TT.

Thats why he has a star. Undeniable talent. Combine interviews and perception of his troubles will either help or hurt him.

Njoku has a star. He is really good but 2 Tight ends in the first round doesnt happen much. The combine could change my mind. I know he is a freak, athletically

I also think Mahomes ends up in the first round, but hes not on my board

 

[DeaconMoss]

No Taco for you?

Watch these 2 tapes. Both tackle are potential 1-2 round guys hes going up against. No hes a 2nd rounder to me




And FWIW he looks eerily similar to David Irving

Thorpe Award winner. Position flexibility. Lots of picks in college. Willing tackler. Big body at 5'11 200 lbs. And can return kicks.

I wouldn't mind Dallas drafting him at 28. Checks lots of boxes for us.

I think it would be a reach at 28 when you could likely still get him in the 2nd round.

Though I did read he could really rise if he rocks the combine.

if he runs a 4.55 to 4.6+ he is off the board.

if he runs 4.4 anything to low 4.5s he is a lock I think for first round

I know the player well, and I even like him. Just don't have him as a first round guy, that's all.

Not very fluid in his hips. That's a big one for me for a CB.

Well If I only have one wrong thats not too bad. Combine will tell me alot about him.

 

[UncleOscar]

Watched your clips of the big Taco. Is it just me, but this guy seems to have a very slow reaction to when the ball is snapped?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Didn't review the whole thing but I'd definitely take Desmond King off and add Njoku to the list.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Pretty good list.

 

[Leadbelly]

This list seems pretty 4-3 centric on D. A team needing DE for a 3-4 is going to have both Taco Charlton and Malik McDowell in round 1.This draft isn't strong enough to keep them out. Neither have character or injury risks (that we're aware of). I consider both easy first round talents for 4-3 teams as well, but much more of a fan of Charlton. If Taco makes it to 28, he's a very easy pick for us.

Harris and McKinley, I don't care for either in a 4-3 but both are going to be appealing to teams in a 3-4. McKinley is a little more up in the air due to surgery.

Over on O, unless there's an injury concern, I'd have Feeney (OL-G) on my list. Agree with others on Njoku. If he made it to RD2, a lot of teams reached on lesser players. Bolles will be interesting. If not for age, I'd have him on my list. Mahomes, I've been in the bag for him since last spring.

I'm going to respectfully, but forcefully, disagree with you on that FSU tape. He was disruptive on a lot, if not most, plays. I'll give you he screwed up his run lanes a couple of times but otherwise he looked like Bosa 2.0. Needs more pass rush moves but he seems to have the hands to learn them.

I think on some you're right. But on most the slow get-off is put in by design for run contain. They mix it up. It was a big part of Gregory's tape too.
