NJ Raider Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 He looks really good. Chubb looks decent as well. Roquan Smith has not been impressive. Oklahoma is running right at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roi34 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Chub looks good but Michael looks like he'll be better pro. better hands too, little smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 We can't give up on Obi after one game in his rookie year. I think he'll be a good player. Safety isn't a huge need. Corner, linebacker, and defensive line/pass rusher are much bigger needs. I think we need at least one talented DL in this class if we want a successful draft/year next year. Mo Hurst is an interesting player. He's a bit of a tweener, but he's so disruptive. I know Rich likes him and I tend to agree with most of his "likes/dislikes".

Totty Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Not sure if it's been mentioned... If Barkley is there when we pick (as unlikely as it is) Do we take him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Raider Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Highly unlikely that he is there but if I’m making the decision and he is there I am running to the podium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Raider Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I would much rather we go offensive tackle or anywhere on defense but safety in the first, but if they took guice with our pick, I would not be upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Raider Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Smith looked A LOT better second half. Guy made some big hits and clutch stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich7sena Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Liked what I say from Chubb and Michel today. I’d probably throw in Michel with Harris as a guy I’d take in round 2. Roquan Smith had a great game with some nice stops. Still, I’m not taking a second level linebacker top 10 without having the front 4 sorted out. Okoronkwo looked great, but I’m not sure his fit in a balanced 4-3 if that’s the direction the team goes. I suspect he’d be better as a SLB than end.

Trojan Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 1: Minkah Fitzpatrick, FS Alabama 2: Taven Bryan, DL Florida 3. Antony Miller, WR Memphis 4. Royce Freeman, RB Oregon Would be my ideal first picks at the moment. I really like Taven Bryan and buy some of his round one hype, but his consistency, lack of counting stats, and lack of experience I could see him being available to our top ten second round pick in a deep class similar to how Chris Jones from Miss State went to KC. DE: Michael Bennett -- Taven Bryan NT: Tony McDaniel -- Eddie Vanderdoes DT: Brandon Mebane -- Mario Edwards Jr. DE: Cliff Avril -- Khalil Mack LB: KJ Wright -- Obi Melifonwu LB: Bobby Wagner -- Navarro Bowman LB: Bruce Irvin -- Bruce Irvin CB: Richard Sherman -- Gareon Conley // Sean Smith if legal issues resolved CB: Tharold Simon -- David Amerson CB: Jeremy Lane -- Travis TJ Carrie SS: Kam Chancellor -- Karl Joseph FS: Earl Thomas -- Minkah Fitzpatrick Obviously there are some stark differences in player to player, but I view this as an option going forward. Vanderdoes is slimmer and more penetrating than the typical Seattle 43 Under NT, but I view this as a functional benefit as additional pressure up the middle would benefit us in my view and Vanderdoes if he tweaks his technique to be less aggressive (he is extremely aggressive at 3 tech penetrating under tackle where he can loose his balance and fall opening a running lane) when lining more as a 1 technique a shade off the center could solidify our defense up the middle. His talents at NT being able to dominate that center and guard shade gap would allow Bowman to shoot the gap opposite quite well in theory. Additionally Obi playing as a linebacker is likely unpopular, but I could see him doing well on the strongside with the assignment against the playmaking TEs. Telvin Smith on the Jaguars isn't too far off body build wise as well and his athleticism in their LB corps allows for a lot of play in the zones as well allowing more complex blitzes than we have shown in the past year. Fitzpatrick's versatility along with the ability to start at CB, both outside and in the slot, would allow depth and allow sets with Obi at safety and Fitz at CB, but Fitzpatrick's deep center field cover excites me allowing Karl Joseph to act as a punisher in the box. Another view could compare to the Cardinals with Edwards and Bryan playing 5 technique with Ward and potentially Autry as depth there and Obi at LB mimicking Deone Bucannon with Mack as Jones, Bowman as Dansby, Irvin as Reddick, Fitz as Mathieu and Joseph as Baker. In the third and fourth rounds I'd begin to try and find a runningback and athletic twitch guy for the slot like Antony Miller, WR Memphis, DJ Chark, WR LSU or whatever hard working speed option remains on board to complement Cooper and Crabtree. The runningback class is loaded enough to address into the 4th I believe with options like Royce Freeman from Oregon or one of the bruisers from Alabama potentially being available. Just an early thought to kick the offseason off. 1: Minkah Fitzpatrick, FS Alabama Versatile defensive back that can play cornerback outside and inside, but would be a phenomenal complement to Karl Joseph patrolling the deep ball. 2: Taven Bryan, DL Florida Ideal frame, quick off the snap disruption that can play across the d line. Needs additional counter moves as he relies too heavily on power bull rushes, but talented fit whose versatility and explosiveness could emphasize that which sometimes lacks from our dline. 3. Antony Miller, WR Memphis This prospect is exciting and I offer DJ Chark as another option as I could see Anthony Miller rising potentially as things shake out as they always do. Walk on and extremely hard worker who went from productive player with Paxton Lynch to stat packing almost Antonio Brown-like production his final year. This is a guy to flip on a highlight video for to see the way he moves. 4. Royce Freeman, RB Oregon Highly productive, but not the Saquon Barkley Darrius Guice level price tag. I think a red zone option and short yardage back would complement Richard and Washington in the backfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 13 hours ago, Frankie2Gunz said: I've been doing some research on draft picks. I dont know much about these guys but here are some names I see popping up at positions of need for us at 9 or 10. Let me know your thoughts? OT: There are a few guys here that I don't know much about. If any are legit studs they should be considered. Edge: Chubb/ Key. We need edge rushers to compliment Mack. Both of these players have potential. RB: Barkley. I doubt he is there but he is the only RB I can see us pulling the trigger on in the top 10. S: James/ Fitz Both these guys appear to be good players at areas of need. I'm not convinced Obi is the long term answer so they both should be considered. CB: I'm not to sure who the top guys are but I do know we can use help at CB. LB: Smith. He is the only LB I see us taking in the first. He sounds like he should be a good player. WR: We need a legit 1x, not sure if that type of WR is in this draft. I am not a fan of taking a WR top 10 unless he is an elite 1x. DT: Hurst/ Vea. Both of these guys appear to be legit players at areas of need. One of these 2 combined with EVD could provide that interior rush we have been lacking. good breakdown.. a few guys who is being overlooked DT Da'ron Payne, CB Denzel Ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
