Re: 2015 draft??
 

Latest mock on Fanspeak, covers all of our issues & makes everyone Happy Happy Happy...

Rd1(13) NT Danny Shelton, Washington

Rd1(31) CB Marcus Peters, Washington

Rd2(44) ILB Stephone Anthony, Clemson

Rd3(75) OT/OG Cedric Ogbuehi, Texas A&M

Rd3(78) WR Breshaud Perriman, UCF

Rd5(140) OG Shaq Mason, Georgia Tech

Rd5(146) ILB Jordan Hicks, Texas

I'll start off by saying, chances are slim to none both 3rd selections will be there.

This draft would shore up our interior defensive front seven with Shelton at the nose & Anthony/Hicks adding much needed athleticism at the ILB positions. Both have great instincts & can cover!

Ogbuehi can play LG if we so chose to put him there making a VERY athletic left side next to Armstead. Shaq Mason is the RG of the future after Jahri's career comes to an end & also gives us great Depth as he can play Center & guard.

Peters is a tremendous talent & the idea of Browner/Lewis coaching him up & keeping him in check makes the pick all the better.

Perriman more than likely goes no later than mid 2nd. Hard to see him falling...Latimer scenario last year is a great example of his ascension this year.

Slim chance Ogbuehi falls to the 3rd, but it is possible. Brandon Thomas is a good example from last year. Fell of a bit at LT & moved to LG & then had the injury, so we'll see how that goes.

I also like DT/DE Marcus Hardison, Arizona St. In the middle of the draft somewhere if his stock doesnt rise.
Measures 6'5, 300lbs. Believe he weighed around 311 at the senior bowl.
Versatile guy that can rush the passer & had great production this year(54 tackles, 11 sacks, 16 TFL, 2 INTs, 3 FF, 1 FR) ....gives us depth we're lacking outside of Foster.

Cant wait til April 30th

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Only did 5 rounds

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Id love Peters if he was there in the second but i cant see the front office taking anyone with character issues this year.

Didn't he put his hands on his coach?.

Id take him like a shot if he has sorted his head out or that was false reporting though

Re: 2015 draft??
 

two case examples

- Peters guiding influence is Marshawn Lynch to get his head straight

- Dorial Green-Beckham influence is his brother who moved in and kicked his butt back on the straight and narrow.

think i would roll the with family.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Yep, heard that. I wish the Saints would consider him, but i understand. To get him at 31 would be legit.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

ok i am going to get shot for this bit :brood:

but here it is. :chug:

Re: 2015 draft??
 

So I looked up clips from the top 12 ranked receivers for the draft. And I like them in this order


1.We're not getting him but given the conference he has played in he is clearly the best of the bunch

Amari Cooper

2.In the head to head game with Amari he had the better game. However its one game and he plays in a rather defenseless conference but he should be good none the less.

Kevin White

3.This is the one I like I feel we can get. He is not projected to go in the first round and his two big games against the SEC West's two top recruiting and also powerhouse rivalries is eye opening

Sammie Coats
And this should say more about him

4.The receiver that is the third projected but I have him fourth. There were some things I didn't like here that I thought the other three were better. He does not have any great reels against the likes of the better ACC teams. He'll still be great but I think the top three will be even better.

DeVante Parker

5.Well I thought highly of this guy though I don't think he played at all in 2014 with Oklahoma. However, here's his game against Auburn. As the game grew on, he did not have the longevity but maybe this is where he would need coaching on. As someone said SP is not likely to draft him due to his character issues.

Dorial Green-Beckham

6.This guy has the makings to really good and maybe coming from a medium school he would want to play harder but that hasn't translated with former teammate Storm Johnson. And it is Florida also, a place where character is in question. But I liked what I saw. However, he did not do much against the biggest team on his schedule in the bowl game, NCSU.

Breshad Perriman

7.This is one we should definitely get. He has size for sure and is thought of as a tightend. I don't trust a lot of big ten play though. Eric Decker looked good for Minnesota but he is ultimately a number 2 receiver.

Devin Funchess

8.He's small, so injury risk is a concern until he gains more weight. But he's had some big games and one was against the SEC's best.

Devin Smith

These are behind the cutoff as there's too much to not like about them.

9.Tony Lippet

10.Rashad Greene

11.Nelson Agholor
He's good at this though
But this is something I needed to show

12.I thought this might be another one I liked but after seeing his clips, I just was not blown away and the conference is a concern. Furthermore he does not fit our team better than the one above.

Jaelen Strong

So with that said based on what we can get. I like Coats, Perriman, and Funchess if we cannot get the top 3.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Lol at coates #3. His drop issues can just not be overlooked. Rather have a sure handed wr then someone with bulk or speed which is the craze for Coates. Saw it in the senior bowl as well. Pass.

Parker could end up being the best wr from this class & he along with White have higher ceilings than Cooper. Have no problem saying that. We have a smaller version of cooper in Cooks. Cooks game against Green Bay really shows some similarities.

Strong that low is laughable as well.

Lippett has always intrigued me, versatility he played for Michigan St was awesome. Two way player(CB/WR)
needs to polish his game so he wont go til rnd 3 at the earliest.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Benjamin's knock was also hands and he was one of the best rookies last season. I just don't want a developmental project and believe Coats performances against LSU and Alabama shows he has what it takes to get up for big games.

Strong plays for the pac 12. I'm not gonna lie. I had Cooks not in my top five last year. I thought Watkins, OBD, Benjamin, Evans, and Robinson were better and four of them did play well and made more big plays than Cooks. The other one played on a bad team. Thats not to say Cooks is not good but as someone else said he may not be a true number 1 type of receiver. Cooks played for Oregon State. I think NFL defenses are just way more impactful than college defenses but with five star defensive players in the SEC and ACC and playing against such most of the season they prepare a player well for it.

If we draft Strong he better be ready to beat coverage because Brees usually makes some of his best plays to receivers in between defenders. Can Strong deal with that?

If we're not looking for a number 1 receiver then thats fine any of them can do but the more they weigh the less injury prone.
