Psychlone Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 For the metrics guys, here's the SPARQ's link for 2018... https://3sigmaathlete.com/rankings/safety/ Never thought Leighton Vander Esch would be in the discussion for athleticism compared to his peers. The Urlacher comps sounded ridiculous prior to the combines but the relative athletic score says different. Mike Gesicki should be a Seahawk given their high propensity to utilize this metric. Can see them taking a flyer on Troy Apke late (or PS) just for ST. Where the hell did that come from. Josh Sweat - Aaron Lynch clone IMO. Everything there but effort. Still hard to ignore the raw potential later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Quote RB Ronald Jones, USC DE Bradley Chubb, N.C. State DE Marcus Davenport, Texas-San Antonio WR Deontay Burnett , USC EDGE Harold Landry, Boston College DE Rasheem Greene, USC RB Royce Freeman, Oregon G Will Hernandez, Texas-El Paso C James Daniels, Iowa Confirmed combine meetings. One position certainly stands out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One position certainly stands out I'm hesitant on Davenport, but I'm starting to favor Landry more and more. I wonder if we could trade back with someone like Buffalo and get Landry and maybe Jones, Hernandez, or Daniels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special talent if drafted to the right offensive coach. Absolutely. Been a big fan of Samuels for awhile now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I like Troy Apke...I thought it was hilarious what Deion Sanders claimed he could not say on TV when he was surprised at Apke's 40 times. Hmmmm...there is a common focus in those interviews, Forge: 4 of the 9 are pass rushers. Only one of them any good and likely to be gone before we pick, IMO.

His combine was not ideal. I still like what he brings to the table if for nothing else a niche role. Een our 4th would be OK since it's a relatively low 4th. I still want at least one big-bodied WR. With tlaent of course. Doesn't have to even be a stud just a piece that we're missing in our offense., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hard to ignore the raw potential later. Hadn't heard much about Vander Esch until somebody here posted a highlight film of him Loved his technique and his avility to play all over the field. THought he'd might make a good pick with our second. Since then I see him listed higher and higher. Now a likely first rounder. Had no idea he was that athletic, although his play certainly looked like he was pretty athletic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interior o-line and RB obviously a need too. The only surprising thing is no mention of CB interviews. IMO that's the weakest position group on the teamn.

Every team in the top 20's fan base probably have their version of a trade for the Bills picks. There's a lot of competition, so yeah, seems unlikely to happen.

TecmoSuperJoe Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Draft Edmunds. Don't over-complicate the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Looking at Edmunds combine numbers it's easy to understand why some draftniks want to try him at LEO. He's got prototypical size, speed, and length for an edge rusher. I'm curious to see what his 3 cone time is. His proday in on the 14th so we won't have to wait long to find out.

I pondered him at Leo as well. He's a project to some degree no matter where you put him to be honest. But he could still work very well in the SAM role. Can blitz, can cover. If he can be competent in coverage, lock in 8 sacks from the SAM spot similar to what Bruce Irvin used to do for Seattle (but again, better in coverage), then I think that's a great pick and I'm pretty happy. He could also stay on the field all three downs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could also stay on the field all three downs So basically what you are saying is that he has the athletic ability of Ahmad Brooks? That guy was an absolute freak of nature, he could have played any linebacker position in both the 3-4 and 4-3. It's a shame he didn't have any heart and started to mail it in after he got paid, because he truly was a special athlete with unlimited potential. Funny how being so talented means that you can get away with bad habits or cutting corners when you are young, so you don't actually end up as successful as other people who have half of your natural ability but who work hard. Sign me up for either of those two linebackers. Defense with our first two picks and then RB, TE, OL with our next three (in that order).
