bigben07MVP Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I have been wondering if AD Mitchell will fall to us at 51 like Pickens did. Or at least to striking distance for a small trade up. The ingredients are there like they were for Pickens. Stacked WR draft full a ton of options in the same range, teams will opt to pass on the “risky” option with underwhelming stats and effort concerns. People forget Pickens was consistently mocked from 20-40 leading up to the draft. Brian Thomas, Troy Franklin, McConkey, Pearsall, Legette, Xavier Worthy, Keon Coleman, Burton, Baker is a ton of names that could go ahead of Mitchell. Now I love the talent but the thought of combining Mitchell with Pickens is terrifying in both a good and bad way. But if he did fall to the mid 2nd round I don’t think Tomlin would be able to resist himself. Im rambling at this point but imagine a Mims - AD Mitchell start to the draft.

Devontez ran a 4.36 and has a 40" vertical and 11'2" broad jump. I want someone special at 20 and AD is just another linear speed guy. He did play with George Pickens at Georgia so that's a plus but the difference between Walker and Mitchell is too close for me to be a fan of AD at 20. Walker didn’t have a great senior bowl process, but he could be a better value than a lot of other vertical threats in this draft. How is his character is my question…?… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this guy does is shut down elite WRs in press man coverage. The idea that he could be had late in the 3rd round is crazy to me. Put him on the other side from JPJ and outside receivers will not be able to breathe against us for 6-8 years.

Very similar to last year's draft haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 What's the skinny on Patrick Paul, OT from Houston? Would you rather take him in the 2nd or Blake Fisher in the 3rd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id prefer Baker or Thrash over several of the guys mentioned higher. The McCaffrey kid is nice, McCorley is decent in his way, the Florida kid is nice but I think is getting pumped up higher than Id like when getting a draft value / sleeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’d start in the slot, and be one of the better nickels, from day one. I’m sure he could be a great one on the outside, eventually…too.

Thrash runs great routes, limited drift, economy of movement and sets it up well. Edited April 10 by rlon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't aggressive with his hands and when he strikes, he attacks and grabs/holds the outside of the shoulders. If he fixes those issues, he can be good. I liked him a couple years ago but he hasn't developed too much. I'd rather have Blake Fisher. He's very active with his strikes and I like how he gets movement in the running game. He does give a lil too much ground in pass pro but can be coached up out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they need 2 corners early. They have other needs. To me, they can even just target a slot in this draft, which is what they are really lacking. I think CB is slated to be a stronger position than people think for this team, best case is getting one guy in the draft who can play the slot immediately and with a high ceiling overall. Either Of the two above corners would be good picks IMO. And, of course, replacing Kazee with Justin Simmons would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
