I’m not sure yet on cam smith. Phillips can ball, like Witherspoon, a little on the smaller side. id add deonte banks, love him. Bigger corner, played press man and off man, and just tremendous feet. and Forbes is up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bresee is the pipe dream, perfect fit as the 5 tech for us. but if they move on from Z, I’m super intrigued by will McDonald. I think he’s gunna put on a show at the combine and Iowa st played him out of position. The dude has incredible bend off the edge. some McDonald clips here Edited February 25, 2023 by battle2heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmanuel Forbes (my favorite) 3. Devon Witherspoon 4. Joey Porter 5. Deonte Banks Honorable mention: Eli Ricks. He reminds me of Jalen Ramsey but he’s got some durability concerns. If he can stay on the field, he’ll be a problem. My favorite out of this class is Forbes, just based on everything that he brings to the table and his consistency throughout his 3 year college career. I think he’s almost a sure bet to be a lock-down CB in the NFL. I just wouldn’t put him ahead of Gonzalez, who’s a better athlete and has more potential.

vike daddy Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 @goldfishwars' 7 round mock for us. what say ye? Minnesota 1 23. Jaxon Smith-Njigba | WR | Ohio State 3 87.

SemperFeist Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Jaxon Smith-Njigba isn’t a receiver I’d say is worth the pick, especially with Quentin Johnston still on the board. Johnston is the deep, downfield playmaker that this offense lacks. If the team were to go with a receiver. Overall, with Bryan Bresee, Johnston, and Drew Sanders all still on the board at the Vikings pick, I’d be very disappointed with Smith-Njigba.

battle2heaven Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 21 minutes ago, SemperFeist said: Yay I desperately want interior pressure with Flores scheme. This draft doesn’t have too many interior penetrators. It’s going to push the prospects that can rush the passer up draft boards. I need kancey to measure taller than 6 feet, more than 280lbs and arm length greater than 32 inches though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 1 hour ago, battle2heaven said: Calijah Kancey is John Randle 2.0, yay or nay? He would be very interesting in a 3/4 as a pass rusher. Will be curious how he does at the combine athletically. Honestly though no way he has anything close to Randle's motor, emotional drive or passion so compared him to a Hall of Famer is a bit much. Kancey would be lucky to be a productive pro period. Could he hold up against the run in a 3/4, I am not sure. Vikings had the cheaper version of him with Jaylen Twyman they could have developed and they just cut him. Injuries hurt him and he is not the athlete Kancey is granted. Also had McGill and because of injuries let him go and he was pretty solid on the 49ers late in the year. There are other options at DT in terms of athletic DTs outside of Kancey. Karl Brooks is one with rare athletic ability as a DT or DE and might fit better than Kancey, could be around in the 3rd but is kind of a long shot if he works out well. Dante Stills is a fine pass rusher and could be around 3rd or 4th round, athletic guy who can get after the QB. Jalen Redmond has solid athletic ability as a DT and could be a mid to late round pick with good upside. Jonah Tavai had great statistics and production as a undersized DT who go big time penetration and should be a late round pick. Jaxon Player another undersized DT who got awesome production and can really bend and get low, should be a late round pick as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Brian Branch is an interesting prospect. He’s the epitome of versatility, and given Flores’ comments regarding versatile players, Branch is an intriguing option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build the line first and come back to the boundary in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
