You're Will McClay, on the clock at #34 . . .

[casmith07]

Robert Nkemdiche and Derrick Henry are both still on the board. Who are you selecting, and why?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Robert Nkemdiche because I am getting a RB in the 3rd or 4th.

 

[DuDa]

I would select neither but I'll play the game and say Nkemdiche. He is a true freak athlete and he worth a second to find out if you can get him close to his potential.

 

[TheFinisher]

well nkemdiche is off my board due to red flags so I'm not drafting him, and Henry is a 3rd rounder for me.

So I'm not drafting either of them at 34

Play the game. No red flags - look at it in a vacuum.

 

[CIWhitefish]

Who did we take at #4?

 

[CATCH17]

Robert Nkemdiche.


Henry just isn't special enough and we could probably find someone later on that can meet his production or be even better.

It would be a lot harder for us to find a pressure player at DT later on.


Since our defense is pretty basic we desperately need guys who can get to the QB.

 

[Mountaineerfan]

I'll take the DL because if we haven't addressed RB yet. I'm waiting on Wendell Smallwood in the 5-6th who can back up Morris and Dmc or possibly take a spot.

 

[Aven8]

Henry. We've already paid Crawford. Henry will bring this team back to its only winning formula of Garrett's tenure.

 

[casmith07]

Who did we take at #4?

Carson Goff.

 

[conner01]

Got to know who was taken at 4 to give a good answer. I think Wentz, tunsil and Ramsey go 1,2,3 and I think we take Bosa at 4. With that I go DT or CB there depending on the talent with each position, maybe even a WR if someone falls. I'm not taking a RB at 34 myself because as much as I like Henry I'm not using the 34th pick on a player who will be gone when second contract comes along

Robert Nkemdiche.

Same logic here. I think the boom potential for Nkemdiche is sky high, whereas Derrick Henry will top out as Brandon Jacobs.

Nkemdiche could top out as Jared Allen, Michael Strahan, etc. type with his talent. I'd rather roll the dice on him becoming an impact pressure player than roll the dice on a running back who will never see a second contract from this team.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Play the game. No red flags - look at it in a vacuum.

I mean if there are no red flags Nkemdiche is a top 10 pick.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Hard decision to make for various reasons.

1. RN is a freak of nature athletic wise. If you can get him to play to his potential you have a killer DT who can make a world of difference. Only problem is you have a knucklehead who was on drugs, fell out of an apartment building, threw his team mates u under the bus saying they were there and if you look at his career on tape he plays sometimes and other times just seems to be in the way by taking plays off. Just don't know what you are getting with him.

2. DH - You can get other RBs in the draft and even though it might not be fair to him you have to factor in that he played at Bama and most bama backs have not done as well in the pros and have also been used up more than other backs from other schools.

You can get both RBs and DTs later in the draft. However after last year do we really want to risk missing on a RB and thinking we would take one later only to keep missing on them later until we have no RBs at all.
By the same token...at the very least we have Alfred Morris this season going into the season compared to not having him last year and going FA and trades all through the season.

I think you go with RN.

Even if he is not a full time starter on the D line, his rotation in can help this Defense tremendously. I also happen to think you can get a good as RB in Dixon or Booker compared to Henry. I think the tie breaker is probably the idea that you have Morris here just in case you don't get a RB in the first few rounds, if push comes to shove you can get a RB later in the round even if that means just hedging your bets on Dunbar staying healthy.

 

[funkytown]

Nkemdiche. The talent is hard to pass up.

 

[TheFinisher]

In a vacuum as a player, of course I'm taking nkemdiche.

I'm taking Jack and then nkemdiche at 34 and trying to recreate the bucs 95 draft when they took sapp and brooks.

But nkemdiche scares me based off what we've heard. Hard to look past those issues, it's why he's not a top 10 pick like his talent suggests.

 

[erod]

Nkemdiche. The talent is hard to pass up.

That was the thinking on Randy Gregory.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Nkemdiche easily. McFadden and Morris will be solid for us.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Henry. If I'm forced to choose.

[DeaconMoss]

neither. Although of the 2, Nkem.
