e16bball Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I’m hopeful that there will still be 4 on the board for us at #44. Will personally be very surprised if there aren’t still at least 3. I would probably take either of the UGA guys at 44 if they’re still on the board. But if they were gone, I can’t say I would necessarily take Jones or Penny or Johnson if there was still a top interior OL prospect like Wynn or Price or Daniels (or Hernandez, though it’s looking like he’s pretty solidly out of our range at this point) available. Or some other unexpected falling stud at a position of general need. And if we did pass in the 2nd, that’s when I’d just stand pat. None of those guys are making it to our 4th, and I’m not sure even acquiring a moderately high 3rd (pulling the “Alvin Kamara”) would get us any of them.

oldman9er Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The only realistic RBs I would be stoked for in the first 2 rds are Guice, Jones, and Michel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia RBS are both great and would take either one honestly but their online in college was no joke. Made them look pretty good, which like I say they are good. Ronald Jones intrigues me honestly, USC line play not great by any standard last year and he still had great success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one of my favorite prospects in the draft obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Am I the only one who thinks then Giants are going to take Bradley Chubb? I also think the Bears take Vita Vea. Going to be a weird draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSkinGM Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I agree with Lavar - Gonna be a weird draft. We usually always know the number 1 pick in advance and usually number 2 but this year --it's all a crap shoot. Mainly because the teams are Q B hungry but the Q B's all have questions . I just hope we don't add to the weirdness . It's going to be very exciting Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 There are a number of teams picking in the top 20 of the second round that are looking to add talent at running back. Fortunately for those teams there are some excellent running back prospects who should be available in the opening frame of the draft's second night. Two players who may or may not be available are Georgia's Sony Michel and LSU's Derrius Guice. Both of them have a shot at being late first-round picks. Sources say it is 50-50 that Michel goes in Round 1, and the odds are slightly lower for Guice. Michel and Guice could be off the board in the first five picks of the second round, but in speaking to some of the teams that are hoping to land a running back, they feel that there are other prospects who could be worthy of going in that range. Georgia's Nick Chubb and San Diego State's Rashaad Penny are both said to be worthy of high second-rounders according to sources at multiple teams. USC's Ronald Jones is as well, depending on the team. Between Michel, Guice, Jones, Chubb and Penny, there is likely to be a run on halfbacks in picks No. 30-50. Two of those teams that are in the running back market are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Washington Redskins. In speaking to sources at both of those teams, they like Chubb and Penny. If they miss out on Michel and Guice they still have good options available in those two. Chubb and Penny are options for each team's second-rounder. Jones is also in play for Washington. http://walterfootball.com/NFLHotPress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His “best guess” is that Guice doesn’t go on the 1st day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks for the update Knight! I’m extremely excited about this RB class. Penny and Chubb are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I would be happy with any back honestly and each have their own niche at what they would bring to a team. I think in the end though its Ronald Jones for us and that's exciting. I would be real happy if we landed Kerryon Johnson, no other back in the draft falls forward at the end of nearly every run quite like him. He is very consistent and highly underrated. The other back in the draft that doesn't get near the credit he deserves is Akrum Wadley, best feet in the draft by far. He will be a great pickup for some team out there. In all honesty the two Georgia backs worry me the most to draft. How much of their success was credited to the online and scheme they had? I don't know the answer but it does bother me some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSkinGM Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Trade Back. I read a few times the Chargers might want our pick 13 for their 17. They might need to jump up for Lamar Jackson. We need their 3rd and 5th to balance out the "points".. Would you be O K with this deal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vita Vea is there, I think we have to take him. Assuming Vea is gone by the time we pick I would accept the trade and select BPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Yeah you make the trade, if you miss on Vea then you take Daron Payne, only hesitant if Minkah is still on the board though. If he's there I see no way they trade back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 On ESPN sporstwriter mock Keim took Edmund's from VT. He was the last impactful defender that fell. If no trade down the only other option would be Payne. If this actually happened Thursday night would you guys be excited or bummed about the pick?
