tannenballs Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 With it being mid-season in baseball, I thought I would try and create my own version of a "Top 50 Prospect List" A couple of notes: 1) The players considered are from 2017-2019 draft classes 2) Certain players have already broken out such as Mahomes, Watson, Barkley, etc so if someone isn't listed, that's probably why TOP 50 PROSPECTS 1. Devin White ILB TB 2. Quinnen Williams DL NYJ 3. Minkah Fitzpatrick DB MIA 4. Nick Bosa DE SF 5. Montez Sweat OLB WAS 6. Kyler Murray QB ARI 7. Devin Bush ILB PIT 8. Andre Dillard OT PHI 9. Jonathan Allen DL WAS 10. Malik Hooker FS IND 11. Marcus Davenport DE NO 12. Ed Oliver DT BUF 13. TJ Hockenson TE DET 14. Josh Allen DE JAX 15. Dwayne Haskins QB WAS 16. Garrett Bradbury OC MIN 17.

HTTRDynasty Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 10% of that list are Redskins? Have a like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost didn't list Allen because of the year he had but I think he takes an even bigger step forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Quote 8. Andre Dillard OT PHI 38. Derek Barnett DE PHI 42. Dallas Goedert TE PHI 50. Sidney Jones CB PHI Would be nice if Sidney can shed the injury bug and Barnett comes back from his shoulder injury. Both have tons of upside if healthy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Activated10 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Wouldn't this be easier to just have best young players instead of prospects. Hard to project which players have broken out or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 If we're including the 2017 class, ILB Zach Cunningham should be in consideration. He's quietly turned into a great ILB for the Texans and a big component of the Texans run defense. I'd rate him significantly higher than Justin Reid, but I wouldn't think he's broken out yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Reid and Cunningham is going on year 3 as a starter. You'd really take Cunningham over Reid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically for the Texans? No - simply because the secondary was a mess last season and the Texans lost Kareem Jackson, Tyrann Mathieu to free agency and Andre Hal to retirement. Reid is the only guy on the DC who has experience in Romeo Crennell's defense, and Jahleel Addae isn't exactly someone you want to see on the field that often. Cunningham is at a position of strength at ILB, with Berdnardrick McKinney as a keystone defender and Dylan Cole as a very capable backup. If Cunningham got hurt, Cole could step in and play well (there's a drop off, but not much - certainly not as much as from Reid to Addae). If I'm creating a defense from scratch and looking at each player in a vacuum? I go Cunningham over Reid, because Cunningham has proven to be very skilled in coverage and a dynamo as a run stopper. My comment was under the impression we're looking at these guys in a vacuum. If you watched the Texans v Cowboys game, you'd see what I am talking about - Cunningham was a monster that game, with 10 tackles (7 unassisted) and was one of the biggest reasons Zeke Elliott could only muster up 54 yards on 20 carries - Cunningham drew a bullseye on Zeke and hit him every opportunity, including a pivotal 4th and 2 that led to the Texans tying the game and eventually winning in OT. It was a wrecking ball kinda day for Zach, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I like the effort put into the list. It's a pretty bad list though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaguarCrazy2832 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Looked at the list and thought, man just 1 Jaguar?...and then I looked at our last 3 drafts... I say you nailed that part at least lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Is this supposed to be viewed as how they were viewed coming out, or how they’re viewed now? If the latter, not sure how you can have Bush at #1 (others too). If the former, not sure how you can have Bush at #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be the best linebacker in the NFL for 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
