resilient part 2 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I don't watch as much college football as I used to. But any players that you guys watch that might be a solid draft pick please put in this thread. I will be relying on you guys to keep me updated.

Texas_OutLaw7 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I honestly don't know what our needs would be. QB - No (at least not high, back up - yes) RB - No (maybe a #3) FB - Sure, but not high. WR - No. Maybe a #3/4 for the future. TE - Fine. But I hate drafting TE's early. OT - No. Maybe a swing tackle? OG - No. Maybe a back-up? C - No. Maybe a back-up? ...so offensively early we should maybe target a TE. MAYBE. LB - No. Unless you want Lee's replacement. But we run a lot of nickles. Back-up is fine. DE - I mean, sure. But it is not a "NEED". DT - Giddy Up. I am down for this. CB - Maybe with jones leaving? But if we re-sign him then no. S - Maybe. Def a back-up. Maybe a starter. ....so defensively, focus on the trenches? Okay. K - Yes, but UDFA please. P - Yes, but UDFA please. LS - Yes. Overall...we really just need to do BPA.

BPA regardless of position will be fine. besides what doesn't seem like a need now may reverse by next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy_z34 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Everyone will agree BPA is the way to go. Our needs should be OT, CB, S, DT, K, WR, LB, RB in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 We really don’t have any glaring weaknesses...really depends on what we do with guys like Crawford, Collins, and Jones and how Jarwin, Schultz look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) DE is a glaring need. Quinn is a 1 year rental. Crawford should be playing his last year. Taco is a healthy scratch week 1. We need someone opposite DLaw for the now and future. Safety is a need, until we know for sure D.Wilson is the answer. Because as it stands Jeff Heath is one if the worst starters in the league. TE is a need. Witten is Jerry's age. QB needs to be drafted every other year, and we didn't get one last year. OL needs to be drafted every year Same with DL Edited September 8, 2019 by DaBoys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 I always like to hear about good quarterbacks regardless of need. Drafting one may lead us to be able to trade for many more draft picks down the road anyhow if a true stud Falls in our laps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 I also agree with Daboys, a good DE can be a game changer. .. since we are so deep currently maybe a trade up for a real stud could be the difference of winning or losing a Superbowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextyearfordaboyz Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Byron and Brown expire this year, Awuzie, Lewis, and Woods the next. I think DB will be a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 For a decent rough look at the "what will be a need" see the table below. My opinions, in order of positions most likely to be drafted early: Cornerback is riddled with question marks over the next couple of years and the 2020 CB draft crop is supposed to be really good. I'd be surprised if we don't take a corner early, even if we do re-sign Byron. With Mike Jackson failing to make the 53, there are no clear "next men up" to replace the existing top-4 corners with shortly expiring contracts. DE is also a pretty glaring hole, considering we likely won't re-sign Quinn, and Crawford is almost certainly a cap casualty. Compared to CB, there is more potential for it to be filled with the existing roster, if Dorance Armstrong can develop and/or Randy Gregory can get and stay on the field. 3T is a sneaky need. Ideally, Trysten Hill will take over full-time, but he hasn't inspired a ton of confidence. We rotate these guys enough that you'd have to consider a real disrupter. I wouldn't expect a 1T early, though. Maybe Woods or Covington re-sign one a cheap deal. WR will be interesting. I'd like to think Cedrick Wilson could come camp next year and play the slot full-time. I also think they would re-sign Cobb on another 1-year deal if they could. But if the right option is available in the draft, you'd probably say yes. Safety, of all the question marks, probably has the most promising backup with Donovan Wilson. And Wods seems like a player they will want to re-sign. I don't expect that this will be an early draft pick. TE is wide open after this season, but I don't expect them to invest big here. I wonder if they can extend Jarwin on a cheap deal. 2019 2020 2021 Offense QB Dak Dak Dak RB Zeke Zeke Zeke WR Cooper Cooper Cooper WR Gallup Gallup Gallup WR Cobb ? ? TE Witten/Jarwin ? ?

D82 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I admittedly haven't watched much college football or paid too much attention to the draft prospects for next year as I usually do...but these are a couple guys I wouldn't mind seeing land here: TE: Al Okwuegbunam, MissouriEDGE: Chase Young, Ohio State A.J. Epenesa, Iowa Terrell Lewis, Alabama DT: Raekwon Davis, Alabama Derrick Brown, Auburn Rashard Lawrence, LSU CB: C.J. Henderson, Florida Bryce Hall, Virginia Kris Fulton, LSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
