marshpit23 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 4 hours ago, SemperFeist said: I’m wondering more and more if the team might double up on defensive backs in the 1st round. 22 - Jeff Gladney. A physical press corner outside 25 - Antoine Winfield Jr. A smart and instinctive player who can jump in at nickel from day one. I was thinking this as well. I wouldn’t be disappointed.

Heimdallr Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Give our OL needs and history of liking young players, I feel like Austin Jackson is definitely near the top of our draft board. I would be shocked if we passed on him if he falls to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a lot of CB depth, specifically press CBs where there should be a good option at 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Dolphins taking him since they need OT badly and Austin Jackson I feel is better than Josh Jones but they could go with him at 18 as well. Then you have the Patriots and if they are sold on Stidham and Hoyer at QB they would absolutely want a OT. But yeah if he was there would be hard to pass on him.

SemperFeist Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Guys like Gladney and Johnson, who had surgery after the combine, are going to be interesting to watch on draft day. Without any medical rechecks, or team visits, it could be an interesting weekend for players recovering from an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boibreezy Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 What are peoples thoughts on Amik Robertson? He obviously has the size more associated with nickel (where I think he would be great as with his tackling ability), but I think his ball skills and ability on the outside are really intriguing. He honestly reminds me a little of Antione Winfield. I'd be ecstatic to grab him in the 3rd and think he's only their because of his size concerns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Winfield have been able to play in Zimmer’s defense? MN ran a Tampa 2 when Winfield was here and I thought he came from a zone scheme in Buffalo.

MN ran a Tampa 2 when Winfield was here and I thought he came from a zone scheme in Buffalo. I guess I meant more in his physicality and ability to come up and hit for being undersized. His man ability probably reminds be a little of Jason Verrett pre-injury. I think at worst he can be an excellent nickel or even moved to a safety position as he can both tackle and ballhawk. I've seen some people say we should draft Winfield Jr to play that type of position and I'd honestly rather have Robertson. Think he's the better prospect.

swede700 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 With Harry and Harris, I see the odds of selecting Winfield as slim to none. He is going to play safety in the NFL, he's not a CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Quote MINNESOTA VIKINGS: JUSTIN JEFFERSON, WR, LSU After the shocking trade of Stefon Diggs, the Minnesota Vikings only have Adam Thielen and Bisi Johnson as dependable targets on the perimeter. Justin Jefferson is a slot-only option that brings a well diverse skill set. In years past, we've seen how good Kirk Cousins is with slot options dating back to his time with the Washington Redskins and Jamison Crowder. Jefferson would be a welcome addition to a group that is starving for talent after trading away their best receiver. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/five-best-draft-prospect-team-fits-midway-through-free-agency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battle2heaven Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I really love watching Jalen Reagor's film. He is electrifying. Not just with the ball in his hands, but also in and out of his cuts. He cuts so violently, I just love it. He also plays bigger than his size and has the ability to go up and apex contested 50/50 balls. I wouldn't have any issues projecting him to the outside in the NFL. It's really a shame his QB play last season was so piss poor; I think it definitely cost him some money. I like him as a 2nd round trade up option if they go in a different direction in the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Man Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Raegor with a 2nd round trade up with be great imo. Then go CB + BPA between OL/DL in the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
