VigilantZombie Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I think the most disappointing thing about this draft is that once again Daniel McCullers is gonna get handed a roster spot due to lack of competition at the position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping for Davon Hamilton in round 3. I dont know how someone can be 310 LBS and not be the least bit fat but he was gone. In order to have obtained a NT, we would have really reached. I'd expect Wormley to be the starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margus Hunt is 6'8" as well... Some of these guys have learned to be great players at that height. Sure, their are disadvantages, but their are also advantages...

Ward4HOF Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 So...since I was interested to see...turns out, 2 of the 6 players we drafted yesterday are the same age as Fitzpatrick, and were born a few months earlier...so technically, being older than Minkah. So, while in the past, some fans, or writers, wouldn't consider Minkah as being part of our draft class, because he's already and NFL pro, and I could even see the point if the vet player was like 28 YO or something, but Minkah fits in perfectly within the age group of our new draftees... ...and as one writer mentioned, our #135, 4th Rd pick was roughly 25 picks earlier than our pick before that trade, which was even more of a bonus !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People kept forgetting we got Miami’s 4th in that deal as well...hidden bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all depends on your definition of NT. Traditional occupy 2 hole clogger? Yes. Penetrating NT like Hargraves? There are a few. However, they don't appear to be as good as Hargrave.

MOSteelers56 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I think it'll be Alualu for all intents and purposes starting at "NT." I really don't see the position as overly important, and it really seems like the team doesn't either. Our subpackage is the base defense now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel McCullers shouldn't even be on the roster Alualua. Wormley played it in Balt in Sub packages and actually was pretty good at it. Buggs has played it and now they have Davis. That's 4 in addition to McCuller's. But I don't disagree that none are ideal. Edited April 26, 2020 by Chieferific 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ward4HOF Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Question on Claypool...people keep trying to compare him to Funchess, and some have compared him to Calvin Johnson, which, you can't even say would be his ceiling..that's likely his ceiling + aother floor, lol... ...anyway, to me, I see a closer resemblance to Vincent Jackson, and TBH, I think coming out, that would be his closest comp IRT physical features... VJ - 6'4 3/4", 241, 4.46 40 back in 2005 Chase - 6'4 1/4". 238, 4.42 40 in 2020 That is who I am hoping he can become...VJ was a nightmare at his peak...if we can get that type of production out of him, then watch-out!! Haha... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
