MWil23 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 5 minutes ago, Dogbite said: I am not even going to argue Fitzpatrick as a CB because that is not where he should be playing I agree with you there 100% it would be Peppers/Wimbley/Veikune/Mingo all over again. I didn't realize you meant if both of them were CB but again that is just a silly thought as if you are taking Minkah it is to be a safety. If you are picking between Minkah and Ward playing in there best position is still a blow out victory for Minkah, that is what I am arguing and that won't change. We're on the same page, I just don't know how you'd ever gotten that I advocated for Minkah at CB when I posted this, which you quoted: I like Minkah a lot, but I still see him as a free safety. If we're drafting a CB that high, it had better be Denzel Ward. Minkah, at best, would be a nice slot/#3 CB from what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbite Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I watched Ward in High School. Small freaking world. I'm pretty sure it was him anyway. I just googled Denzel Ward to find more info and I saw he played for Nordonia. My son in law coaches at a school called Midview. They were really good so we made a trip to watch them in the playoffs every weekend. I think they won 3 and had State Title hopes and then the Nordonia game happened. Midview had lost like 5 games in a 4 year span and every game I had been to that year they were the class of the field. They had their doors blown off by Nordonia and it could have easily been worse. If I remember correctly it was a 40 some point beat down and could have been in the 50s if they wanted it to be. Anyway I remember all the talk about this Ohio State recruit killing them. He was a force at WR and CB. They also had 2 other Big10 recruits on their team. I guess I cannot for sure know if it was Ward that day or not but whoever I was watching was damn impressive for a high school kid. The time frame and school was right so I am just going to say it was Denzel Ward. Maybe I will have to take a liking to him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztec Hammer Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 What are some of the comps you guys have for your favourite non-QB prospects? Not necessarily how good you think they will be but their playstyle and who they remind you of. A couple for me: Rashaad Penny - David Johnson Anthony Miller - Antonio Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not an amazing athlete, but is there anything that guy can't catch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the type of player if we drafted and he busted I wouldn't even be mad dude is a baller you dont want to be the team that passes on that guy apparently hardest worker on the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztec Hammer Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 So similar to AB in the way he runs his routes, runs with the ball, and controls his body to catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang son. That right there is a huge heart play. Taking the extra contact to get into the endzone instead of having 1st and goal at the 4-5. That is an impressive play.

Dogbite Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Can't say that I have watched him outside of that video but, yes, yes, yes all day yes. I would love a receiver like that on this team. I really liked what I saw from the QB as well I don't know if he is in this draft or not but I wouldn't mind double dipping on a QB like him just in case the #1 overall guy can't hack it. Anthony Miller is a good find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2ThaIzzo Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Miller actually reminds me of another Memphis alum who had a pretty illustrious career in the NFL. Issac Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztec Hammer Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Gordon, Coleman, Miller, Njoku and Duke all on the field at the same time. That's better weapons than most teams. And a great set for Darnold/Rosen to throw to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginaldm9 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I like Anthony Miller too, but I want to see how he stacks up in the bowl game when facing more NFL style opponents. I'm worried separation might be a problem at the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Rashard Higgins (Who is 6-1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoGrahamsGhost Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I know Calvin Ridley is older and not blazing fast (and projected in the first round). But I think he is probably my favorite WR in the draft. He just seems so fluid with good hands. He doesn't seem to be the fastest but everything he does he does well. I would love for him to fall to the beginning of the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztec Hammer Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Overlooked because he plays for San Diego State. Really intrigued to see how he times because he's got a really good, well rounded skill-set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
