palmy50 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 13 hours ago, Cheech said: After the draft my impression of 83 was a speed merchant who didn't have a clue how to run a route and also had unreliable hands. From the little I've seen of him he's a guy who just pops off the screen. I love how he attacks the ball away from his body. He looks a lot like Allison when he catches the ball. More surprising to me, however, is how crisp and quick he can make some of his routes look. His play speed actually matches his timed speed. This is a player to watch as the season progresses. I hope MM begins to work him into the lineup more and more as he gets more comfortable with on the fly adjustments. I can tell you for a fact there are a bunch of area scouts down there right now being forced to answer questions about MVS. Very good looking prospect and by all accounts wants/gets it.

That has been an issue with some of the younger receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepler Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The rooks are looking good so far. GB really needed a good deep draft class. Hopefully we'll see how Burks pans out soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That list of 6 guys is pretty much what you would expect, given where they were all drafted. Sure Ward could be a spot higher and Alexander two spots lower, but broadly speaking it is close to what you would expect. There is one notable name not on the list, Derwin James, but tbh I'd expect it to be more mixed up than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, true enough, i stand corrected VonKarmen. I was thinking DB because Fitzpatrick was there (and could play either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 On the topic of "watch", has anyone seen Norm lately? Last we heard he was in a bar at a golf course the night of the Bears game. Then radio silence ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantyWrestler Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I feel a little vindicated as well. I really liked Davenport and his combination of speed and power. I felt he was an all around OLB. Didn’t like Edmunds because he played ILB at Tech, not OLB. Rarely blitzed or played the edge. All that said, I wouldn’t change this draft and give up the #1 pick next year. I feel we will be more than happy with a number of edge players from this next class.

Redt Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 My top three wants in the draft were R. Smith, J. Alexander, and J. Washington. Obviously love JA and JJ looks to be special as well. Now, I have to hope the Smith is a bust, but unfortunately he is going to be really good, especially with Mack as a teammate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
