Pretty much what he said.
the big board claims to just show the best TALENT. Though I shake my head at how high either QB is.
I don't think he's the 2nd best talent though.
ITs hard to tell. There have been a lot of college RBs that look great and end up as meh in the NFL.
Walker would be fine but I don't like the fact that we've attempted to take LB so high in the draft and failed miserably due to injury...we need some firepower on the second level in round 2-3...especially if a new DC is coming in here and everyone is learning from scratch again
I like this opinion, and i'll say 1 more thing what about trading up? If we need to secure a player like Graham or Jeanty and we are wasting our later round picks on flyers...why not secure a dominant force in RD 1 with giving up little capital, possibly next years 3 or 4?
Deep at RB but the drop off from Jeanty is significant... also the drop off from the 1st receiver to the 2nd is also extremely significant...this is why I'm tempted to go defense RD 1 and secure a back like Hampton or Neal in Rd 2
who you putting at #2 for talent? Jeanty is one of the best backs to come out in the last couple of years. Look at the difference Gibbs is making on DET.
Yup - I did this for PROSPECT RANKING and not MOCK DRAFT...this is a week QB class... I talked to Matt Owen Professor O on X and he let me know that he thinks these QB's would be ranked between 4-6 if it was last years draft...although I think Shadeur Sanders with some experience and a mediocre OLINE will shine in the NFL
I mean Atlanta when you say it like that it sounds bad, but when I say that we failed at drafting DL from Michigan and have a 66 percent chance of failing on a top tier DT what does that sound like? Dak needs help - let's be honest here. The offense cannot survive 40 passing attempts per game, not in this league.Yeah, let's blow the 12th pick on a rb bc they are so hard to find later in the draft, and they are expensive to sign as free agents.
But thats also picking toward the end of round 1 where the projections are more difficult. RB is probably the easiest projection in the NFL. Thats why they can be found just about anywhere in the draft. Dowdle , an UDFA, was actually one of the better rbs in the league this year. It just took the coaching staff half a season to figure that out. He would have had 1500 yards this year if MM had utilized him in the first 8 games like he did in the final 9 games.
The issue is we have spent at these positions except CB. DE was a 1st round pick defacto LBer but it has now turned into an EDGE. OT was a 1st round pick 2 years in a row. CB has been picked and paid quite high, although he might not be the same you can say we struck GOLD in cap value by hitting on Daron Bland.
Walker will mostly be a pass pusher here.
I get that. But it's still over 3 months before the draft. And a lot can happen between now and then. Getting through the Scouting Combine will shake things up.
