He could potentially be a base end that kicks inside like Izzy did on 3rd and longs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really high on Addison. All he does is get open. Reliable hands. Good speed. He doesn’t have prototype size but WRs at 6’0” as WR1 are reasonably common in the modern NFL now. He’s listed right now at 175 lb. I’d be curious to see if he could play at 185-190. That would put him at about that Stefon Diggs size (6’0” 191) - not big, but big enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha...I think what it says to me is scheme fit is everything...very few of these guys had no talent but a lot ended up on really bad spots...we need to focus in on getting guys who fit a role in this scheme to have success...hopefully in the 2nd & 4th rounds rather than the 1st mind you hahaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they were bullying college CBs with their size/physicality or were lightning quick so 90% of college CBs simply couldn't run with them. OBJ was a master route runner and constantly was leaving guys 4-5 yards behind on his outs. He had highlights before the throw, catching a lot of poorly thrown balls in tight coverage, and then a ton after the catch too. I'd be looking more for guys like him, hopefully more sane but still. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that list above, I see less of the busts being guys who came in as refined technicians vs. those who came in as physical freaks (speed or size) but with unrefined skill. Especially in today’s NFL where DBs can’t be as physical as they used to be 6’2”+ and 215 lb isn’t a need to be a legit #1. That’s what has JSN and Addison 1 and 1a for me. Give me a guy who can get consistent separation over a guy who’s raw with freak athleticism all day early in the draft.

Madmike90 Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 Every time I hear Poles & Flus speak about what they are looking for in players and how players must fit the system the more I feel we are going to target H/W/S/L guys...Chris Ballard with the Colts who has obvious connections to both Poles & Flus is well known to have minimum athletic standard for every position and will remove guys completely off their board if they don't meet them...I 100% think Poles will be the same... That leads me to really wish that Texas LB DeMarvion Overshown could tackle better because in in terms of his physical upside you would think he had been built in a lab for that WLB spot...6-4" 220lbs with what look to be over 34" arms...he was recruited as a safety and has retained a lot of speed...great blitzer...can play in space and cover down field...in his last 29 games has 182 tackles...18.5 TFL...5.5 sacks...7 QBH...12 PBU...2 INT & 2 FF...if he could tackle properly you could possible double the sack total and put at least 10-15 more TFL on there...his lack play strength is the main issue for his poor tackling but the fact he into the right spots makes you wonder if we could add 10-15lbs to that frame which would give his that extra ability to hit.

WindyCity Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I am not sure WR is a realistic target in round 1. If we are running the BeaRaven offense there are significantly fewer reps for WR3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we are...I think we have taken 10-15 plays from that offence...same as we are taking 2 or 3 plays from offences like the Bills & Giants...Getsy is doing what all good offensive coaches should do...adjust your gameplan to your players and if you see something elsewhere that works? Steal it... Sean Payton made a living out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are borrowing plays, personnel usage, and tendencies from them. 12 personnel way up. QB run game. Our protection scheme is borrowing a ton from them. Run:Pass ratio.
