If/when they play the games this year he should have a major impact. No. I meant the guy who rode Chases back to the ground. Came from off screen, shed the guard and piled on the qb behind Chase. That was pretty dang quick for an LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably LB5-LB6 in this draft. Fast and a tackle machine Edited April 13, 2020 by AkronsWitness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has speed, directional speed and likes to hit. As a OSU fan I can say Malik has a nose for the football. He just always seems to be there on run plays and is incredibly good at sniffing out screens. He may lack extreme BOOM potential as a pro bowler or anything like that but he has a very high floor. He actually reminds me a lot of Wesley Woodyard (TEN) or Craig Robertson (NO). Guys who may lack elite traits but are exceptional (and fly under the radar) early down LBs.

And, I'm tired of being accused that all I care about is promoting players from Ohio State, so I try to shy away from it except for the obvious. Still not true by the way.

I enjoy reading his articles and insights a lot. I’m not surprised he’s a fan of Pittman — there’s just a ton to like in his senior year film. He didn’t have a ton of production prior to this year, but that’s really the only knock I see at this point. Dominated on the field this year, had a great Senior Bowl week, really surprised with athleticism at the Combine. Unfortunately, I think he’s gone in the top 40 picks. So hopefully he goes to somebody we barely ever play. Would make a lot of sense as a reliable target for Tua to the Dolphins at 39. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He almost reminds me of Michael Thomas coming out. Just not great QB play but really solid numbers and production in big game great hands good body use for contested catches. I think there’s a whole lot too like with this guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget who wanted Michael Thomas over Doctson, I think it was Gruden who wanted Thomas and McCloughan wanted Doctson and well, the rest is history.

I mean I remember being one of the few that thought he was the highest on my board but doc had the highest ceiling. But apparently I was wrong about that because Thomas has outdone what I thought he would. He’s been amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e16bball Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 So Bill Barnwell from ESPN just did his annual “trade mock,” where he comes up with an interesting trade for every pick. Three of the deals he came up with involved “Washington,” as he insists on calling us. Trade 1: WAS Gets: Yannick Ngakoue, 1-9, 2-42, 2021 1st (from Rams) JAX Gets: 1-2, 2021 2nd Trade 2: WAS Gets: Christian McCaffrey, 1-7, 5-152 CAR Gets: 1-2 Trade 3: WAS Gets: Riley Reiff, 4-112 (from LAC), 4-132, 5-151 (from LAC) [was part of a 3-way trade] MIN Gets: Trent Williams Any of those trades strike anyone’s fancy? I like to look at outside trade suggestions because they’re generally free of hopes, preferences, and biases when it comes to what they consider a fair and equitable swap.
