animaltested Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 QB: Russell Gonna Russell. Beyond that, you know what you are gonna get with Austin and Morris. McGough could be kinda cool to watch in PS. RB: I come around on the Penny pick. I think Carson and Penny complement them themselves well. This is CJ's last chance. Guessing him and JD will battle out for the last spot. Not sure how Davis can make the squad barring an injury. WR: Thin, but talented. Brown- Darboh - Johson - Moore battle for the 3rd spot should be interesting. TE: Vannett needs to take the next step. OL: The top four is pretty much set, the RT battle will be fiercely competitive. I have no stock invested in Fant, but hopefully he can overcome. Ifedi and Hambone are entering their 3rd year, so maybe things click for them in the new scheme. Heard great thngs about Skylar Phillips. Might have a chance to make the team? DE: Green really helps solidify the depth. Barring injury, they can go four deep at LEO. And ya never know about Avril. M. Smith might be the odd man out. DT: Gonna be a interesting scramble to replace Bennett. Shame about McDowell, this would his year had he not gone and blown it. LB: Solid group. Griffin really helps fill out the depth. Mingo will be interesting, hopefully he can be Irvin 2.0. CB: All depends on Maxwell. Can he replicate last year? If not, who steps up? Im gonna keep my eye on Mike Tyson. Not sure why, but I am. Gonna be interesting to see if Flowers can make the transition. S: Not counting on Kam, luckily McDougald was brought back. I really like Hill alot. Has flash's of mini-BamBam. I want to see him get more PT this PS. K: Hopefully Sebass solidfies this position. I miss Hous$$$ P: Dickson needs to win this job. Could end up saving the Hawks 4 million of the next two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltagi Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Concentrating on the post-draft and UDFA signings - I was disappointed we took Penny in the 1st - but having thought about it more, I think we did all we could to get him where we did. We didn't have much bargaining power re. draft picks to go much lower. Is he going to be another Lynch or another Michael? Who knows - but I like the pick - as so does at least one analyst at USA Today. Griffin - like that pick a lot! Think he'll fit in well at Will or an in-the-box SS. If Dickson doesn't get the P job I'll be amazed - first one off the board. Not seen any of him on film but if a punter can win a MVP - wow! I'm seeing Green as a Bennett's heir-apparent in 2/3 years time. A few of the UDFAs to comment on - Ford, Frazier & Phillips especially might make the 53.

Eagles23 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 You guys are trying out S Jason Matovu, I went to highschool with him. Hope he can latch on to the PS at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I really liked McGough and Phillips as late round prospects. McGough physically is pretty similar to Trubisky, and Phillips is just damn mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Poona Ford (DT) Skylar Phillips (G) Khalid Hill (FB) Marcus Martin (FB) Seem to have the best shot to make the team of the UDFA. 4 FBs into PS would be crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Team looks very solid and a lot will be determined by how the younger guys can impact games. They should be a team that is in the thick of things for a wild card spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Avril was just released. I have a feeling you saw that coming with the way you labeled him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Punch Man Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Looking at it as a whole, the roster isn’t as bad as I anticipated. But considering this year’s FA class and draft class/player availability, the roster isn’t as pretty/talented as it could’ve been. We’ll see. I like the depth at RB. All we need are two offensive lineman to develop. Just two. Brown-Ifedi-Britt-Fluker-Fant/Jones Is what I’d like to see. Ifedi can be masked by our two best OL. I like Jamarco Jones and Fant is a JAG but with Russ, I guess that’s all we really need. Our WRs scare me. TEs are whatever. Just send Dissly in to block. Our DL depth is fine. So pumped for Green. He and Clark are the new Avril and Bennett. LBs are above-average. Step below great. Our secondary scares me but we don’t need spectacular play from every one of them. I say we end up a wildcard playoff team, at best. Another 8-8/9-7 year, at worst. I don’t see this team going below .500 but I don’t see it doing much better.

Agreed, post draft, WR is definitely the weakest position. Baldwin is the man, but Lockett has been a huge tease since he came in. If he gets hurt, or flounders in the bigger role, things look pretty awful. Darboh was drafted to be a factor at the WR position but is a a complete mystery at this point. Jarron Brown was brought in for those 50/50 balls, Moore and Johnson are lottery picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_W Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 are there any players that can pass rush left out there ...somewhere?, that we can get. can quem-Grif do it? everywhere I read says he's fast I don't want to give Jimmy all day to throw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he can pass rush super effectively at this level without a second hand. I'm sure he could do it from time to time and beat blockers with pure speed, spin moves, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he could do it from time to time and beat blockers with pure speed, spin moves, etc. I think the staff is relying on Dion and Marcus Smith to pick up the slack. They had 6.5 sacks combined last year in medium to light roles. Add R. Green into the mix and you should be able to replicate the pass rush numbers lost (MB, Avril). I think Naz Jones in year two might take a huge leap forward and bring more pressure from the middle, as long as Jarran Reed brings his A game (in year 3). I figure we will see alot of more blitzes from the LB's and Secondary as well to mask the weaker coverage the team will have down Sherm, Kam etc. Especially if Maxwell and Griffin struggle on the outside. I dont have big expectations for Shaqeem in year one, as Seattle barely use 3 LB packages, and he wont be lining up on the LOS as a PR either (or at least, not often). Im guessing his biggest impact will be on Special Teams. But until PS we wont see how the team uses him on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
