I'd be fine with it if we can still get Guice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie2Gunz Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The 2 players I am really warming up to at 10 are Edmunds and Ward. If we come away with either at 10 I will be happy and both players will help the team tremendously. Our focus in round 2 has to be DT, OT or CB is we dont take Ward in 1st.

Silver&Black88 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'm starting to get the vibe that in order to mess up this pick we're going to have to do something really stupid. Honestly if you gave my any of the defenders who could be available when we pick (Fitzpatrick, Vea, James, Ward, Smith, Edmunds or Hurst) then I'll be varying degrees of happy. A decent bit of them are guaranteed to be there simply due to math after Barkley, Chubb, Nelson, and the QB run. And any of them would improve our defense. Some more than others in terms of position or pro readiness but still, that's somewhere between like 2 and 5 impact defenders available for us. I know the Kolton Miller thing should be taken with a grain of salt but I can't lie, the fear of another Left Field pick is in the back of my mind, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason should be reassuring enough to rid me of the fear of a WTF pick, but I just can't shake it off! The Miller rumour, a few Mcglinchey mentions have made me pretty anxious. I just hope that Gruden and Reggie can be the others check and balance and it helps to curb any crazy impulses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT would be the left field pick that would be completely stupid and desperate. I could live with - Edmunds, Hurst, but there is higher risk with them. Smith, Ward, Vea, James, Fitzpatrick - These guys are all studs and instantly impact the defense. Dark horses, I see two - Davenport and Landry. That would be a left field pick I understand, but risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdb36 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 At 10. Want: Ward, Smith, Edmunds, Fitzpatrick. Don't want: Vea, James. Vea is good in his role but that's not something i'd spend a top 10 pick on. I don't see what's so great about James to make him a top 10 prospect. His athleticism? His hard hitting style? Also, i'm a huge fan of Hurst but we can't pick him that high with the medical concerns. Looks like his stock has dropped quite a bit and he could fall out of the 1st round. If he's still available after day 1, trading up to the top of round 2 to get him could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABYLON 5 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I pray to the football gods we don't draft Kolton Miller in my opinion he's not gonna be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNBlackFan Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I have really gotten my hopes up the past few days that Ward might actually be there for us at #10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdb36 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2018-nfl-draft-heres-why-these-27-prospects-are-locks-to-be-taken-in-the-first-round/ So after reporting that Miller would be a top target in a trade down, he doesn't even list him as a possible 1st round pick. I guess he doesn't trust the "source" he got his info from. Or Miller is a target in the 2nd round. Or he can't even build a credible story...

Chali21 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Kolton Miller is this year’s Bruce Campbell. No way the Raiders take him in the first. They are not that incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not totally sold on Smith, with Whitehead being brought in we really need a MLB and I don’t see Smith playing there. Worleys signing again shows that we seem prefer the bigger CBs which would rule out Ward (admittedly Worley could be a smokescreen). Vea doesn’t look to be a 3 down player which is what you would want from a top 10 pick.I think Hurst is the best scheme fit player to play the attacking 1 gap system Gruden has mentioned. However he seems to be dropping and could be picked up later in the draft. Want - Hurst (in a trade down), Safe pick- Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
