cannondale Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) I heard more than one person give a Sam Shields comparison. Not sure how true it is but I'll take that all day long Edited April 30, 2021 by cannondale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already taking a hit with Linsley gone. And depth takes a huge hit throughout. I 100% take an OT over WR at #62 Edited April 30, 2021 by cannondale 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Jackson played a bunch of boundary injury-replacement snaps. But a vast number of inside snaps were divided among Redmond, Sullivan, Greene, Black, and Scott. Could adding Stokes directly or indirectly enable replacement of some of those inside snaps this rookie season? Or is he strictly a boundary guy who'll only replace boundary snaps of Jackson, Hollman, King, and Jaire? Put differently, if Stokes impresses quickly, do you see the effective usage of all three of Stokes, Jaire, and King on the field at the same time? If so, only in dime, or might there be a way to use all three in nickle? I'm not a defensive designer. But at a simplistic level, I'd like to think that Stokes might quickly emerge as a better football player than Redmond, or Sullivan too. And that perhaps creative coaching would be able to utilize all three of Jaire, King, and Stokes. Perhaps not only this year, but beyond? If Stokes is good, and if King plays well without commanding a knockout contract, could you keep all three guys together into 2022 and beyond? Field a knockout secondary... and free up draft picks 1-2-3 for other positions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say long speed is about the same, Shields was freaky fast at top speed. Definitely a more fluid player than Stokes. Stokes is very twitchy.

badgers0821 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 10 hours ago, Green19 said: The issue is WR isn’t a premier position... every draft we discuss this. Until we get a GM that isn’t from the Ron wolf tree/Ted Thompson tree they aren’t taking RB, WR, TE, IOL, LB in the first. the most interesting pick is Savage as traditionally S would also be in that group too. Fact is 2nd round is where those picks will come. So until Brian steps down or gets fired... WR is unlikely in the first. Tomorrow might be the day they get a guy. I think you can throw the Savage pick out as technically it was our second pick in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgbeethree Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 That 1.75 40 time minus 20 yard split is ELITE. That's crazy top end speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Turner and/or Jenkins playing OT lead to a drastic drop-off in offensive production relative to the 2020 offense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
