Epenesa IDL/EDGE IOWA Niang 2019 film showed a fair amount of struggles in the few games he played. His season ended early due to getting his hip cleaned up. From what I hear his 2018 film showed his ability to move much better, and that he has the tools to be a player in pass protection as well as the run game. IMO much more polished than Josh Jones or Austin Jackson. Easily my OT 5. I like Niang, but the hip issue does scare my lo g term. First round pick, that matters more vs 3rd or later. 1 hour ago, Lieker said: Blackock has a lot of parallels to Simmons last year (The guy I wanted over Gary). Explosive mover. Enough length to two gap, needs some more good weight to hold up in the run game. His combine was good not great but he is not far removed from an ACL injury. Has the ability to be the interior penetrator and pass rusher we need alongside Clark. My choice as well 1 hour ago, Lieker said: Epenesa was almost my first choice. He looks like exactly the type of EDGE you’d play in Pettine’s system who also has the ability to move to interior on obvious pass downs ala Zadarius Smith. Like Smith, his game is predicated on his size, length, and technique rather than athleticism. Take a look at Smith’s combine numbers and you’ll see some similarities. At the same time, I’d be wary using premium draft capital on such a poor tester. I believe there’s a pretty decent correlation between testing numbers or lack there of and success in the NFL as a EDGE rusher. Z. Smith was a 4th rounder I believe so much less risk taking that player. It’s a shame Epenesa didn’t get a chance to run at a pro day. His highlights show a good not great mover, but not as poor of a mover as his combine indicates. Agreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him in the slot year 1 and forget about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) I think it's a bit of a reach, but I'm taking Austin Jackson. He's not ready to play this year, but with Bak up next year and Wagner pretty much a 1 year contract, I've got to go that way. I"d love to grab one of those D-lineman though and would not be disappointed if we went that way as well.

Pilprin Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 If Jackson can't play RT...I think Epenesa is the best player left. He could play DE in a 3-4...Blaylock is option #2...I probably would be screaming to trade down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitnhope Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 1. Blacklock 2. Shenault 3. Niang if can medically clear. Doubtful in today's limited travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'd want to trade back here given this board. The safeties might be good value here .. McKinney or Delpit. How do these guys compare to a guy like Minkah Fitzpatrick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if neither of those safeties are terrific coverage options, or ultimate chess piece types, I'd probably go with Ross Blacklack. We lack top talent on that Dline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The board is pretty brutal. I think you shop for a trade down if at all possible. If not, I think you go with Blacklock there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
