AZBearsFan Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 8 hours ago, WindyCity said: I am torn. What if the difference between decent and dynamic is what the 2019 season comes down to? I like more RBs in this draft then others here, but I reject the trade because I want with 2 2nds next year to have the opportunity to use that to get back into the late 1st if we love a guy. I like Henderson but not more than the other guys in that tier to the extent where he’s worth a 2 AND a 3 to me, and really it’s not like we’re the only team looking for an explosive potential big play RB on the cheap - if consensus is that he’s that good then someone else will just take him and this is all moot. Honestly once we get past Jacobs and Sanders the next 7 or so guys are pretty close for me each with different things where they excel, and because of that I’m more inclined to trade down from 87 than up. If I can move from 87 to like 97 and add another 4 this year then I’m all about that. There are a lot of guys I like in that 3/4 range this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a subscription required to view his stuff? @beardown3231 Yes, you need a sub for Atlantic. But, you can hear Dane on Dallas Cowboy draft show podcast. It's pretty good.

WindyCity Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 I could very easily see Pace making small moves down in round 4 and or 5 to gain some 6th round picks and add volume. On day 3 it is much about multiple swings as it is deep scouting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do not go RB in round 3 I think CB is the most likely pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to be the head draftnik for CBS but then left for the Athletic. He's right on a ton of stuff and IIRC he was the guy who said the Bears were taking Trubisky and stuck with it for the month leading up to the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benzschawel would be a good pick that late. Not sure I love Long and Armstead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is solid and does not go to extremes like guys like Matt Miller and Silva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to like Miller, but as time went on, I realized how he's wrong often and how little I care about his beloved state of citizenship (Missouri) and Natty Light beer.

Armstead seems a lot like Howard. Lot's of power but not nifty and not a great receiver. I don't think it's a bad pick as much as I do a head scratcher. Long = Slot CB? Seems to lack what we look for in an edge CB. Harris = more of a "banger" than a coverage guy but who knows what Pagano values just yet.

Still why go for mediocre? Seems anti-Paceian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Armstead, despite a nice 40 time did not test well in the explosive tests. His vertical, while better than Montgomery, was very OLish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
