Re: 2016 first round pick

Whatever mock has us taking Coleman had better be wrong. He has prolific numbers, but it's in an offense that produces lots of prolific stats, against the lesser teams on it's schedule, and more importantly the players very rarely have gone on to have success in the NFL.

The biggest problem I have with him, though, is that he's a Brandin Cooks body type. We already have him. If we're going to draft a WR he needs to be a more physical presence. But really we need O-line help before WR.

Defensively, if I am to believe that the young guys will mature and get better, than there's no question in my mind that DT is top priority. I'm just not quite sure who best fills that role yet. Robert Nkemdiche gets all the hype, but I kind of like Montravius Adams better. He's quicker and seems like he has a better ability to both stop the run and rush the passer. I have heard some negative things about his motor, though.

Adams is more likely to be available to us, however. Despite our poor defense it does not look like we'll be picking in the top 10.
Rugby Saint II and ChrisXVI like this.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

I had to look at the two schools for those players and yes Adams would be better. I mean Nkemdiche just got blown up by Arkansas.
