To be honest, I have no problem with Pierce, Pickens, or Watson as first WR drafted. I would love #2 to be Skyy Moore, Clavin Austin or Shakir. Bo Melton also.

Be patient they say, I no like. Finally. They sign Tavon Young / CB played NB good player 5'9 They sign Ryan Griffin/TE. 27 rec. 2 Ts for Jets.

Good plan.

I'm not sure any OTs in our range to get can start day one. There's a handful of IOL , hope we get one of them. Green....Z Johnson...Linderbaum...Jurgens.... Salyer.... Strange Ideal scenario is someone drops, Green? I would say grab a WR Watson at 2a, Trade back with 2b get an extra 3rd, grab a S Nick Cross or DL Logan Hall . At 71 grab Cole Strange, 5 a Zack Tom/OT and a CB, Castro-Fields. In 6, LB Mike Rose. I used GBNReport big board for player value.

Not worth it, hasn't had a healthy season in 5 yrs and is a year older.

Coaches will sort it out. I read where Smith has a lot of technical issues and won't be ready to start his first year. Bradon Thorn is a noted OL expert in draft circles stated that.

I think this year an all Georgia draft would give better quality. 2-a. Lewis Cline/SS 2-b. George Pickens/WR 3. Jameree Salyer/OT 5-a Derion Kendrick/CB 5-b. Justin Shaffer/OG 6 Jake Caramda/P

CHGO sports podcast interviewed Brandon Thorn that has become a OL expert in the draft circles. He stated 3 names of later round OL picks to watch. Cade Mays /OG....Cam Jurgens/OC....SpencerBuford/OG. He also stated that if you don't get one of the top 5 rated OTs in the draft, probably won't find a first year starter in this draft.

We have signed D. Evans that played for Tennessee and a FB, Blasingame. Why do we need to replace Damien Williams?

If I was a FA now , I would be getting nervous about not being on a roster before the draft.

I thought they would have brought in a couple more FAs since camp starts today.

With them giving Jones a two yr contract, plus I heard rumors they might give Ogunjobi a one yr deal and still bring him in camp, maybe not early round pick for 3 T spot.

DK is just rumors created by agents. There are several WRs that could be there in 5th. Bo Melton, Danny Grey, Tanner Connor for sure.

Here's a draft I did with PFN draft simulator not making any trades. 39. Perrion Winfrey. DT 48. Alex Pierce WR 71. Jalen Tolbert. WR 148. Jamaree Salyer. OG 150. Bryan Cook SS 186. Josh Jobe. CB. The only thing unrealistic about this draft is Jobs will never last until pick 186. I couldn't grab Nick Cross who has great speed so took top rated S at the time.

That is a realistic draft and great draft if it would happen. I totally expect them to draft 2 WRs and 2 OL, a OT and OG prospect. I do think they grab a S in the draft . I also think he trades back with one or two of the first 3 picks for more picks. If I remember correctly didn't NE always trade back and get multiple middle round picks? They seemed to be successful.

Or who on our team that didn't play well in last scheme, can play better in this scheme? The SAM LB is only on the field in Flus cover two for 20% of time. Can Jackson look like old AJAC with change ? Does Vidor and Graham play better in zone than man to man? We obtained our NB in SS Cluirshank? Who shut down TEs in nickel at Tennessee. Flus wants 7 to the ball every play. Who fits better than two LBs with 4.51 and 4.52 speed. No matter how you say it Quinn plays his best as a DE in his career. Gibson was DE in college, so better fit for him. Roquin is a stud can play in any scheme. I think possible that one of top picks will be a speedy safety. Nick Cross has 4.34 speed. Imagine this defense with great speed, will be fun to watch.

That's one question we don't know, Poles evaluation of current players. Good article, Vidor may have better traits for the cover 2. Plus Graham may be ideal for it. I think we have our NC in Criukshank , he showed excellent play against TEs and running backs. What about Charles Snowden, Ledarius Mack , can they play SAM ? Flus stated the SAM only plays 20% of the time. I think Edwards is a good fit as rotational 3T. Jones may or may not be a starter type but they gave him a two year contract, maybe?

Patrick wasn't his first choice at OC but being in the scheme for the last few yrs, he can help Fields get set up right and has an attitude, like Jenkins, to bring a different culture to the oline. I suspect he wanted Bates for his attitude plus his upside at RG. We are out of the running to draft Zion Johnson or Greene but Tyler Smith is in reach of our pick. Those all carry the physically and nasty attitude that Poles want. If I remember, didn't they say Whitehair had a nastiness to him when he came out? If we could have 5 starters that just beat people up every snap, wouldn't that be refreshing compared to the lack of accountability Nagy carried in the locker room.

Been listening to a lot of podcasts lately and think Poles will invest in offense with most his picks in the draft. The first three will be offensive. WRs, OL, or maybe a TE. Poles is taking all the money they spent on D and trying to balance the spending for both sides of the team. Unless you spend money, you're not getting high end playmakers or OL . So he's plugging holes with cheap options.

Another podcast I heard explained the Jenkins situation. His last year in college, he was the LT, but the other OT got hurt and the replacement player was more comfortable on the Left side, so he moved to right. The best rookie LT last year was Matt Slater from SD. He only had 3 more games playing LT than Jenkins did. So that talk that Jenkins didn't play on the left side is bullshit. He's a good player or he's not.

Heard Olin talk on a podcast this morning , he said he has gotten the impression from the front office that they like Borom on the Left side and Jenkins on the right. So I think they draft a OT that can play either side and concentrate on the RG spot early in the draft.

Jones is like Blackson was last year, can make some plays but doesn't standout. Dependable rotational vet. I definitely think we draft one because of importance of the position in Flus defense. I think Karmara and Edwards sees some time at the 3T. If we can get Logan Hall at 71. He can play both DT and DE. Really to get a impact player at 3T , we will have to use pick 39. I would love to see Poles's draft board. After hearing Poles talk at the winter meetings suggests Ogunjobi could still be coming. He hasn't signed anywhere else yet. I also seen where Ledarius Mack was practicing pass coverages. There going to try him out at SAM LB spot. He's got 4.66 speed and fact he's still on the roster says something. At Buffalo he played some off LB. At the least we have a cheap depth player.

Good article. We see these names we never heard of and after you dig a little deeper, they could be very good players. Watch all 22 film study on Pringle, he was second in the league in separation last year, is highly rated on all advanced metrics. Could easily give us Mooney type numbers he had this year. Very under rated player. Also watch film on St Brown, more than just a roster player. We draft one big WR (Watson, Pickens, Pierce) and a speed playmaker ( Skyy Moore, Clyde Austin, Khalil Shakir) , then our WR room will be crazy talented.

Just watched a video on Criukshank on YouTube video No Flags Flim.He does a video on Dane breaking down the film. I'm on my tablet so not sure how in give a link but good stuff. He will be our NB or hybrid LB, taking out TEs.

I don't think Ajax was called out for his down turn in his play. Poles and Eflus won't care what he's paid, they will sit him.
