Prospects You Love

Ewwwwwww

Don't you say Ewww to Kay Adams! Them fighting words!

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

God, I'm so in love with Kay Adams

Wouldn't it suck to have to come home everyday to that football mind of hers?

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Fumagalli in the 5th is fine. Before that, yuck.

So you wouldn't take him with the 133rd pick, but would be fine with the 138th pick? What 5 other guys at that point are you missing out on? or are you saying not until the end of the 5th round? I don't think he makes it that far.

Given your moniker, are you Amish?

Sister Kay is Amish you know. I can hook you up.

I can find a lot of players I like better than him.

Small, slow, just an ok blocker, good hands. Mehhhhhhh. Give me an inline or somebody with upside.

I would raise many barns just to have dinner with her once.

I couldn't imagine a worse fate. I should be punished and I should be punished now.

I don't think it would just be barns that were getting raised!

And a day after we hear the rumor that the Cowboys want to move up for Ridley, we read this:

Starting to hear Courtland Sutton's name come up as the first WR off the board in front of Calvin Ridley. Will be interesting to find out how many teams will prefer Sutton's size as the determining factor.

It's mid April!

Careful.....you will over excite Brandon!

 

[Dantés]

He doesn't need me for that.

 

[GleefulGary]

Well Brandon...you might just win that bet!

 

[GleefulGary]

CB Top 5:
1) Jaire Alexander
2) Denzel Ward
3) Mike Hughes
4) Josh Jackson
5) Carlton Davis/Isaiah Oliver


Quenton Meeks just outside, but he's a mid-round favorite of mine.

Imma say it.

Guice > Barkley

I highly doubt that to be true but would give you huge props if you end up being right.

Fumagalli in the 5th is fine. Before that, yuck.

I'm with Poker here in that I would be fine with the Packers selecting Fumagalli in the fourth round.

I was listening to a podcast and heard a rumor. Apparently a Packer scout told Tony Pauline that they’re looking at LVE as an outside linebacker for their defense. I also heard from a different source that Tennessee cancelled their visit with him because they’re convinced he will go well before they pick.

Now this might be nothing. The Packers are pretty tight lipped generally. But it would be interesting. Athletically, LVE is off the charts. So the metrics say that edge is no problem. But in terms of his field work, it would be a transition.

I imagine that part of the equation is that Pettine’s SAM linebackers are often more off-ball blitzer types than true edge pass rushers. He has used a lot of under fronts in the past where the SAM isn’t truly an edge.

In any case, it’s something I considered when I saw his metrics and find it very interesting that they might actually be looking at him that way. He would be an exciting pick.

Ive stated all along that we have to get Sutton at 14 or were gonna lose him to the Cowboys. The Niners at 9 is another spot Sutton could potentially go(depends on what happens with Dez) as I see the Niners as a landing spot for him and then Gute would miss out on the "Sutton Sweepstakes"..

Its all "fun and games" until your on the clock and I believe teams are gonna have a hard time pulling the trigger on Ridley early knowing he is such a marginal athlete that also lacks size.

 

[brandon2348]

Yeah the Dez Bryant release kinda "telegraphs" it doesnt it?

Silly kids.

And the closer we get to the draft I expect more "seperation" from Ridley.

Makes perfect sense to me.

I heard about us converting him to pass rusher somewhere before too. I mean his 3-cone is pretty damn good which is obviously the best number for determining success for a pass rusher. I'm not saying he can't be an OLB, but it seems like an odd switch for him when there's more natural fits at the position. However, there are some sleepers at OLB and the top end of this edge class is very weak. Maybe they're considering bringing him in to see if he can translate to the position and know that worse comes to worse, they can shift him inside. Plus, I haven't watched Pettine's defense in all that much depth, but it makes sense and he could excel at that position. Either way, I've heard that he's our potential pick at #14 for a month or two now and I'd be super excited as he's absolutely one of my favorite prospects in this draft.

That could be the case-- they would see if he thrives at the more valuable position first, knowing that he has a safety net as an ILB backer if it comes to that.

I'm wondering if Gute looks at CMIII, who coming out of USC was a freak athlete who was still learning how to play his position, and thinks he can replicate that in Vander Esch.

It's possible, but I think Clay was clearly a pass rusher coming out, LVE seems like a more natural Mike. Can it just be draft day already lol

Yes, that's true he was.

If you want a distraction until draft day, go claim a team in my forum mock thread.

 

[GleefulGary]

I hate the idea of LVE at Edge.

Just stare at his mockdraftable web until you believe.

I believe he's a very good coverage LB.
