I’m probably just going to let one poster make the pick. How about you take the 5th round. Thanks, but I don't think I am going to be in front of my computer when we pick. I think it is going to be like 10pm EST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible value in the 5th. Overall, I think the BPA for us is probably Chris Rumph. I think the team (along with many of us) is kinda underappreciating the need at DE. There are still a fair number of decent veterans on the market at the position, but this is a big issue for depth. Kerrigan and Anderson played almost 550 combined snaps last season, so that’s a pretty significant hole that has yet to be addressed in real life or this mock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him as well but listed around 230 lbs. I know he can put on weight but Wouldn’t that be too small to play DE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s definitely a part-time player in this defense, a pure pass rusher who you’d be looking to get on the field in certain packages and probably in 2-minute situations. He would be the lighter half of a backup DE platoon with James Smith-Williams, but potentially the more impactful half. He’s a legit pass rush threat, with an explosive first step and a pretty wide array of moves and a motor that runs hot all the time. He weighed in at 244 at his Pro Day, and while he’ll never carry that during the season, it’s not too far off from a guy like Azeez Ojulari (249 at his Pro Day, which he’ll never carry either). These guys might bulk up over the years, but for now they’re going to be light in the pants and you’ll have to use them wisely. At this point in the draft, I feel like a dangerous situational pass-rusher is a quality get for a team that it seems might not have much of that behind the stars. It kinda gets to one principle I have in the later rounds, which is that there’s definite value in specialist players. Kick returners, 3rd down or power backs, deep ball or jump ball receivers, nickel LB/S, situational pass-rusher, etc. You’re likely getting backups (at best) at that point in the draft, but if you find a guy who can make a major impact on a few specialized plays, that can provide more meaningful in-game value than just an across-the-board backup level player.

ovfd55 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I'd go WR Cade Johnson or HB Khalil Herbert since Rumph is gone,feels like I'm forgetting someone who still on the board on defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e16bball Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I think it’s good value for Khalil Herbert at this point. If we were inclined to go OL, I think Alaric Jackson is a guy who is likely to be at least a solid and versatile option at several spots along the line. At one time, he was a potential early pick, but he kinda topped out as a decent college tackle. I think he’s a potential starter at guard, and he could probably be at least a spot starter at RT as well. Probably a decent depth option if we’re in the market for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was watching some Shi Smith this morning after reading comments and He's Awesome at locating the ball and making a catch,wish he was taller would be a excellent outside WR,just scares me his size makes him look more Slotish in nfl and he doesn't seem to like contact on hits either,would still be great value at this point like you said 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTMONK HOF Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Herbert or Moore is fine with me. Go with the majority. Maybe we can get lucky if Moore will be there in the 7th rd. Edited April 8, 2021 by ARTMONK HOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
