A TRAIN 89 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I know it shouldn't matter, but Derwin James destroyed the combine. Athletic freak at his size. Would not mind having him roaming our secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s doesnt matter if we have a young Ronnie Lott and Sean Taylor there if we don’t get a NT who can stop the run and occupy two guys on pass plays to free up the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case scenario, we trade down...lose out on both Vita & Payne. Pounce on CB Jackson or RB Guice. While landing additional draft picks from trade down.

Ok first off, there's no way to know if any of these guys will be future HOFers. Second, we have two quality Safeties already on the roster, and we don't have a single NT on the roster. Third, I don't entirely disagree with you about passing on a 2 down run stuffer in the first (Vea) but I think Payne is more than just that. I think he's a difference maker up front.

e16bball Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I fell hard for Derwin James as a freshman. On a different level than just about everyone else on the field, he flashed immediately and repeatedly when watching him. Can’t see them going that direction though. As has been noted before, they like Swearinger and Nicholson, and there’s just so many other places where we need more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to make a point- we need big bewfy guys up front more than safety's. I'm with Claira when I look at our NT: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSkinGM Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Whoa, just read a mock where D James falls to us at 13. We trade the pick to the Chargers ( The Cowboys and Jerrah are dying for this guy too keep in mind ! ) for a 1, 3 and 4 and we draft Leighton Vander Esch LB at 17.

SeanTaylorsaPIMP Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 So people are falling in LOVE with LB Tremaine Edmunds. Does he fit our team at all? Just because I'm usually for taking BPA and he seems to be around our draft position. If we're on the clock at 13 and he's available, what would be people's reaction be?

Woz Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 We interrupt this draft thread for a public safety announcement: On 3/4/2018 at 1:22 AM, Doc Draper said: My buddy told me about some OL who ran close to a 6.0 in 40. That’s running in mud Hippos are effing mean creatures. Also, don't believe the slow-mo picture there: https://www.oddee.com/item_98002.aspx Quote Many experts believe that the Hippopotamus is the most dangerous animal in all of Africa. Weighing up to 8,000 pounds, a Hippo can gallop 18 mph and have been known to upset boats for no reason and bite the passengers with their huge, sharp teeth. Not only that, but Hippos are aggressive, unpredictable and have no fear of humans. People die most often when they get between a hippo and deep water or between a mother and her calf. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-36320744 Quote Hippopotamus Image captionMale hippos can weigh up to 2,750kg. Ungainly as it is, the hippopotamus is the world's deadliest large land mammal,. Hippos are aggressive creatures, and they have very sharp teeth. And you would not want to get stuck under one; at up to 2,750kg they can crush a human to death. The two sites differ in the fatality lists, but the range is 500-3000 people per year get killed by a hippo. And now back to your regularly scheduled draft thread.

We should continue this with the other threads as we are a brotherhood . We're a family. Like any family, we bicker and argue and taunt and mock. And if anyone from outside comes in to start something, we stomp them bloody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
