moretti19 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 What a fun free agency it has been! Sucks to lose Breeland, overall the defense should be greatly improved however. I do not think we will be seeing any other moves made prior to the draft. NFL Draft: RD1 #12 Ed Oliver*, DT, Houston Height: 6-2. Weight: 287. Projected 40 Time: 4.70. Projected Round (2019): Top-25. 2/16/19: Oliver was excellent in 2018, showing his great speed and motor, and still managing to produce despite double or triple teams. The junior totaled 54 tackles with 14.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, one forced fumble and two passes batted on the year. A knee injury caused Oliver to miss some time, and he decided not to play in Houston's bowl game. RD1 30 Clelin Ferrell*, 3-4OLB, Clemson Height: 6-5. Weight: 265. Projected 40 Time: 4.77. Projected Round (2019): 1. 2/16/19: Ferrell recorded 55 tackles with 11.5 sacks, 19.5 tackles for a loss, four passes batted and three forced fumbles during 2018. Returning to school for 2018 looks like it was a wise decision on his part, because he improved in his run defense and was more stout at the point of attack. However, Ferrell did not as look as fast and explosive over the course of the season. As a result, some team sources are projecting Ferrell as a mid- to late first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. RD2: Mike Weber*, RB, Ohio State Height: 5-10. Weight: 214. Projected 40 Time: 4.57. Projected Round (2019): 2-3. 3/7/19: Two NFL running backs coaches told me that Weber was one of the backs who impressed them the most at the combine. He ran fast in the 40, ran well in the bag drills, and showed skill as a receiver. Weber could be a steal in the 2019 NFL Draft as he has three-down starting potential with a good skill set of size and speed. RD3: Michael Jordan*, G/C, Ohio State Height: 6-6. Weight: 312. Projected 40 Time: 5.20. Projected Round (2019): 2-3. 3/16/19: Jordan moved to center in 2018 and proved to be a good starter there, which really improves his value for the NFL. In speaking with sources, they see Jordan as a potential second-day pick. Some scouts who were through Ohio State told me that they thought that Jordan was unlikely to enter the 2019 NFL Draft, but after the season, he announced he was skipping his senior year instead RD4 Mike Bell*, S, Fresno State Height: 6-3. Weight: 203. Projected 40 Time: 4.58. Projected Round (2019): 3-4. 3/16/19: Bell ran slower than expected at the combine. In 2018, Bell totaled 87 tackles with eight passes broken up and three interceptions. He had 77 tackles with three breakups and a pick in 2017. Bell has good length and height to help him match up versus big receivers or tight ends. Scouts say they like Bell's versatility. He is a fluid, smooth athlete who is interchangeable between free or strong safety. Bell is really good coming downhill as a run defender while also flashing range and ball skills downfield. Sources feel that Bell will develop into a starter. RD4 Terry Godwin, WR, Georgia Height: 5-11. Weight: 185. Projected 40 Time: 4.50. Projected Round (2019): 3-5. 3/7/19: Godwin was one of the best players at the East-West Shrine. He ate up the cornerbacks in the one-on-ones as they were incapable of running with him. Godwin is a dangerous route-runner as he explodes out of his breaks and that generates separation. After gaining a step, his speed is too much to handle as he would pull away from corners. In the NFL, he could be a good slot receiver using speed and route-running to get quick separation. With his strong performance through these practices, Godwin could have turned himself into a mid-round prospect in the 2019 NFL Draft. Godwin sat out Georgia's first game of 2018, but had 23 catches for 385 yards and three touchdowns after that. RD 5 Michael Jackson, CB, Miami Height: 6-2. Weight: 195. Projected 40 Time: 4.54. Projected Round (2019): 4-6. 3/16/19: In 2018, Jackson totaled 42 tackles with six passes broken up. Some have projected Jackson as an early-round pick, but in speaking to some team sources, they have graded him well into the third day of the 2019 NFL Draft. 8/29/18: Jackson was only in his first year starting for the Hurricanes in 2017, but there was talk about him entering the 2018 NFL Draft. In 2017, he totaled four interceptions with five passes broken up and 43 tackles RD6 C.J. Conrad, TE, Kentucky Height: 6-4. Weight: 250. Projected 40 Time: 4.75. Projected Round (2019): 4-6. 3/7/19: Conrad recorded 30 receptions in 2018 for 318 yards with three touchdowns. He is a similar player to former Kentucky tight end Jacob Tamme. While he does not have great speed, Conrad has quality hands and is a nice route-runner. He is also a very good blocker and really contributed to running lanes for Benny Snell. In January, Conrad had a solid week of practice at the East-West Shrine RD7 image: http://walterfootball.com/college/Toledo_logo.gif Diontae Johnson*, WR, Toledo Height: 5-11. Weight: 181. Projected 40 Time: 4.52. Projected Round (2019): 6-FA. 3/7/19: Johnson had 49 catches for 761 yards and eight touchdowns in 2018. He decided to enter the 2019 NFL Draft. Johnson would fit best as a slot receiver. Read more at http://walterfootball.com/draft2019WR.php#2soZi2Q0ydK0kJ5x.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacman5252 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I actually really like this draft. We’d have a scary front 7. I don’t mind the Weber pick. If we are going to run more this year, we need another quality back in the top 4 rounds (Jones hasn’t held up, and Williams is JAG). I’d like to see a TE somewhere top 4 rounds.

moretti19 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Thanks! I really like Michael Jordan and am surprised he is not talked about more on here. I like the idea of a RD2 running back whether it be Jacobs from BAMA or Weber. If we are going to run the ball like we need to, we need a couple of legit running backs.

I'm honestly shocked Jacobs isn't mocked to us more, he has dropped a bit, but I could see us considering him in Rd2 if he's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and I was very close to using him. To be honest he scares the **** out of me. He greatly benefited from those around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetana34 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I love the idea of a 2nd round RB and was going to put one their in my next mock with Jacobs. This team has a low key need at RB since jones can't stay healthy. Im just not sure I can bring myself to it with holes elsewhere. The first two picks are great, as is a 3rd round lineman. Really don't want to wait till the 4th to fill our safety hole though. I think our 2nd is best suited to fill that hole, with a RB in round four instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Round 2 and 3 are no go for me. Love the first round but doubt Ferrell is there at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StartBarr Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 To be frank, I feel we have too many young guys at CB to put Michael Jackson in that room... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
