DudeWhat??? Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Tough season. Bitter...i know..especially since we were literally a few easy to complete field goals away from not only the playoffs but damn near being undefeated....Time to regroup and improve. Going heavy on D in the beginning of this draft. I am actually satisfied with Offense...i think connor and jalen could actually make for a kamara and ingram type of combo ...our OC would have to be good enough to put them in those positions and schemes though. I am concerned with the age of Foster and the RT position. We haven't pick this high in a while...here is the bad news..its really not that high...we are still out of range from the game changing pass rushers... if you look at the stats..the majority of those von bell...types...14 to 16 sacks a season types...are top 5 to 15 easy...we had to learn the hard way...there is a reason why dupree fell to us... we were lucky..finding talent like harrison....but reality is more like lamarr woodely...when you pick in this area..the rushers are gone. still...tj watt has out paced dupree...and i hope we sever ties if possible and give some of the younger guys a chance. being this high in the draft...we may be able to trade down. we happen to be near teams like the raiders and colts who have picks to spare and might want to move up if an offensive player drops to us. ...the first mock is my favorite...from draft game...i can see us getting an extra 2nd round pic..and yes..a kicker. Round 1 Pick 28 (LAC): Mullen, Trayvon, CB, Clemson (B+)Round 2 Pick 19: Hodge, Kalhil, ILB, Buffalo (B)Round 2 Pick 28 (LAC): Ximines, Oshane, DE, Old Dominion (B)Round 3 Pick 18: Ivey, Martez, OT, Florida (B)Round 3 Pick 27 (LAC): Snell Jr, Benny, RB, Kentucky (A+)Round 4 Pick 19: Ghaifan, Youhanna, DT, Wyoming (A+)Round 6 Pick 4: Mims, Denzel, WR, Baylor (A+)Round 6 Pick 18: Baron II, John, K, San Diego State (A+)Round 7 Pick 6: Jones, Hootie, SS, Alabama (B) second is a no trade draft. fanspeak. im thinking love wouldn't be their in the second..but who knows. 19: R1P19 LB MACK WILSON ALABAMA 51: R2P19 CB JULIAN LOVE NOTRE DAME 82: R3P18 G CONNOR MCGOVERN PENN STATE 121: R4P19 EDGE CHARLES OMENIHU TEXAS 179: R6P4 OT COLTON JACKSON ARKANSAS 193: R6P18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jebrick Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Mack Wilson is staying in school. Please not Devon Bush in the 1st. That is a reach and a 1/2 If your 1st round pick is not Devon White then pick a CB or EDGE BPA. After White there is no 1st round ILB talent in this draft. Picking at 20 leaves them in in a bit of a trough for CB as well. After Greedy Williams and Byron Murphy( if he comes out), there is a big gap to the next level. I think it depends on how you see DeAndre Baker. I think they could trade down and get him because he is 5'11 but I am guessing. After him you are looking at the 2nd round talent. They are in the right area for Jachai Polite (EDGE) who would be a very good speed rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chieferific Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 OX is getting a lot of love and I couldn't be happier. He plays for my Alma Mater ODU. While there are some UDFA sprinkled around the NFL, I don't think ODU has ever had a player drafted. 2nd seems high to me. I know some "experts" even have him in the 1st. But I've seen him neutralized by small school talent. Of course he could be coached up but that concerns me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Here is what I wrote on Oshane in October and I stick by it. I think he is an early to mid 2nd round pick. Might get pushed down because of the depth at the position in this draft. Oshane Ximines DE/OLB Old Dominion 6'2" 250lbs Who? From where? While he's not the athlete that Polite is, what sets him apart is his polish as a defender. He not only can rush the passer but does a very good job in the run game. He has excellent hands and can get off blocks. He might not possess the upside of an elite pass rusher but his advanced game could allow him to see the field early.

I wouldn't disagree with a lot of that but (1) When I see a guy described as an Edge player to me that means Pass Rusher. He is very inconsistent there often times literally jogging towards the QB. And (2) while I agree with much of your description, to me that doesn't sound like a 2nd Rdr. I do hope so. ODU is starting to get some talent in the 757. Talent that often went to UVA and VT.

jebrick Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 To me, OX is like Hau'oli Kikaha without the knee issues. A technician. Kikaha went in the 2nd round. The depth in the position might push OX to the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I think OX is going to be a pass rusher only early in his career and that's what's going to make him slide. Unfortunately I think that takes him off the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
