{Family Ghost} Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Here's my latest TDN draft. I tried to hit a lot of different positions where I thoght there was good value at the time. My draft philosophy is to go with bigs early, and then work from there. Getting Blacklock and Niang gives is a couple of quality bigs out of the gate. Doing this may cost us getting a true top flight receiver, but I was able to rebound with Tyler Johnson, and then one of my favorites in the draft pretty late with James Proche. I hit LB'er in 3rd and 5th .. hopefully improved our unit. I think we could go corner much earlier than I did, but couldn't find the right fit earlier. Garvin is a solid OLB prospect. Pinkney at TE and Corbin at RB kind of rounded things out. I passed on QB's on this one. Hurts was available in #3, but I didn't think he'd really be there so I passed and took Wilson. 30 Ross Blacklock, IDL TCU 62 Lucas Niang, OT TCU 94 Logan Wilson, LB Wyoming 136 Tyler Johnson, WR Minnesota 175 Justin Strnad, LB Wake Forest 192 Jonathan Garvin, EDGE Miami 208 Nevelle Clarke, CB UCF 209 Jared Pinkney, TEVanderbilt 236 James Proche, WR SMU 242 Reggie Corbin, RB Illinois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Isn't Tyler Johnson more of the same tho? Big WR that can't get consistent separation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe .. he's no burner for sure. Not super huge at 6'-2" and 205. Super productive guy with a nose for the endzone. A lot of people seem to think he's a strong fit for the slot.

I don't mind Johnson at all, fwiw, just looking for something different from what we already have, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather be stout on the lines going forward than have a flashy wideout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not pegged to take any one position so we're flexible. Might be an advantage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantyWrestler Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Do we really need a WR very high? If EQ comes back healthy and Lazard and MVS take a step up, even a small one, aren’t we ok there now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EQ has had a hard time staying healthy and MVS looked lost out there last year. We really could use at least one more guy who can get separation IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lowry bounces back and develops an anchor, Adams finally pieces it together, Keke makes a great jump. Do we need an ILB? Burks could stay healthy and figure things out, Summers could blossom. You can play this game at every position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play this game at every position. For me it comes down to this, When we invested in receivers, we had a devastating passing game When we filled the receiving group with UDFAs and late round picks then the passing game fell off a cliff Yes, Rodgers regression plays a big part but I don't see why you wouldn't want to at least try and see if he can do it again with weapons instead of yet another year with all the top picks thrown at the defence. You can take the 'we are OK there if player X steps up' in every position. Surely we are OK there at MLB now. Seen people mock us safeties and corners in the first - surely we are OK there now.

Brit Pack Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 If we really wanted to improve the defence there were plenty of options at ILB/DL and CB. All reasonably priced. On the other hand there was short supply of good offensive talent in FA. This team needs more talent on the offensive side of the ball desperately. Our oline is not as good as it used to be and we have two further players entering free agency next year. We are lacking top WR talent and need better TE's. With two RBs free agents as well next year (those I don't mind picking up next years draft) but we desperately need talent on the offence for now and the future and this draft really needs to spend premium picks on them.

Lazard was undrafted and MVS was a later pick who was terrible for a majority of the season. I think we have to add someone early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't hit on all the ifs and buts on this team but one or two would sure the heck help. This year is going to tell who and who isn't replaceable.

Lazard is JAG and expecting MVS to "take a jump" is setting yourself up for disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
