Re: 2015 draft??
 

It's a rainy Sunday morning so I figured it was time to take another stab at this on Fanspeak. I only did 3 rounds and no restarting it to get the picks I wanted lol.

R1P13 DE ALVIN DUPREE KENTUCKY
-With his combination of size, strength and speed I think he could play the strong side OLB position in the base 3-4. In four man fronts he could be a much more well-rounded DE than Junior Galette allowing us to use #93 sparingly as the situational pass-rusher he's better suited for.

R1P31 ILB STEPHONE ANTHONY CLEMSON
-Some will say this is a hair too high for him but I think our coaches love him and won't be afraid to pull the trigger. He has the size and speed we've lacked at the position for years.

R2P12 G TRE' JACKSON FLORIDA STATE
-Nothing much to say here... Bring him in and let him compete with Senio Kelemete and Tim Lelito for that left guard spot.

R3P11 DT GRADY JARRETT CLEMSON
-From what I've read he's not a great fit for the 3-4 but as a rotational player in a four man front he'd be good. That's fine because we don't have much of anything at DT other than Jenkins and Bunkley.

R3P14 TE MAXX WILLIAMS MINNESOTA
-I don't think it's imperative that we find a new TE in the draft but if Maxx Williams is available here then why not? With Ben Watson being on his last legs a two TE set with Josh Hill and Williams would be pretty nice.

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Realistically, Jacksonville is as big a threat as anyone in the top 10 to take Beasley...

They've got a mixed 4-3/3-4 defense and he's an excellent candidate to upgrade any linebacking corps, but is better suited to the 3-4 base...

Biggest threats to select Beasley...

(01) TB 4-3
(02) TN 3-4
(03) JAX 4-3/H
(04) OAK 4-3
(05) WAS 3-4
(06) NYJ 3-4/H
(07) CHI 3-4
(08) ATL 3-4
(09) NYG 4-3
(10) StL 4-3
(11) MIN 4-3
(12) CLE 3-4

Re: 2015 draft??
 

If he falls to #13; I wouldn't be disappointed to take Cooper... Use the rest on defense...

Re: 2015 draft??
 

Rather take DGB before Cooper...

Look Cooper is a fine receiver, but in the NFL, you've got to have 6' 3" or better with plenty of wing-span to geaux up and get the jump balls in the end zone...

Now we rightfully traded Graham and Colston has little time left so if we're going to geaux out and get a WR that's tall and if the other kids aren't it this year, then go get you a DGB without the baggage...

Players We Met With At The Senior Bowl:

Sammie Coates, WR, Auburn
Davante Davis, WR, UNLV
Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State
Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson
David Cobb, RB, Minnesota
La'el Collins, OT, LSU
Doran Grant, CB/S, Ohio State
Geneo Grissom, OLB/DE/3-4OLB, Oklahoma
Jordan Hicks, OLB, Texas
JaCorey Shepherd, CB, Kansas
Preston Smith, DE, Mississippi State
Martrell Spaight, OLB, Arkansas
Gabe Wright, DT, Auburn


Players We Spent Extra Time With At The Combine:

Mario Edwards Jr., DE/DT/3-4DE, Florida State
Danny Shelton, DT/NT, Washington
Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State (I think this was just to get more insight on him, knowing he was coming to the south)
Clive Walford, TE, Miami
Alvin Dupree, OLB/DE/3-4OLB, Kentucky
La'el Collins, OT, LSU


Players We Met With At The East West Shine Game:

Blake Bell, TE, Oklahoma
Bryce Callahan, CB, Rice
Sam Carter, S, TCU
Dillon Day, C, Mississippi State
Amarlo Herrera, ILB, Georgia
Darrian Miller, OT, Kentucky
Jordan Richards, S, Stanford
Tye Smith, CB, Towson
Bryce Petty, QB, Baylor


Players We Made Special Trips To See At Their Pro-Days

Tavaris Barnes, DE, Clemson
Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson
Alvin Dupree, OLB/DE/3-4OLB, Kentucky
Blake Sims, QB, Alabama
Keon Williams, RB, Chattanooga
Preston Smith, DE, Mississippi State


So Here's What I See:

1. The # 13 pick obviously comes down to Alvin Dupree, La'el Collins or Danny Shelton. I think Shelton will be gone so I would just say Dupree or Collins.

2. The players we made a point of seeing twice could show that we have high interest in that player. There's only 3 of those so far La'el Collins, Alvin Dupree & Stephone Anthony. But it could also mean that what we saw the first time was enough, we only met with Cooks one time last year. Sean Payton has said how much just one 15-minute interrogation segment with a player could make or break an evaluation. For example, the Saints felt no need to bring Brandin Cooks to New Orleans leading up to last year's draft. The wide receiver wowed the Saints so much they felt the utmost confidence in Cooks as top-flight draft prospect that would fit in perfectly within their program.

3. I think we are going to draft a QB with either one of our 3rds or one of our 5ths and and looks like it comes down to Petty or Sims. We wouldn't have went to Sims pro day unless we really wanted to see what he had and if he would fit in our system.

4. It looks like out of our first 3 picks that 2 of them will be defenders, LBs or DEs. I think the #44 pick is a lock for Stephone Anthony.
