I think we're OK at SS, with Vaccaro, Bush, Sunseri and Sanford.

I just hope we don't become addicted to his measurables.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

Reality at Safety...

Raphael Bush has been the backup Free Safety; he's set to be a Unrestricted Free Agent at 29 years of age; Bush has missed 21 of the last 32 games going back to 2013...

Vinnie Sunseri played in nine games as a reserve in 2014 before being placed on injured reserve; this past season, the 2015 season, Sunseri was placed on waivers after a preseason game knee injury, cleared waivers, and placed on IR; Sunseri has played as a reserve in nine (9) of a possible (32) regular season games...

Jairus Byrd, since being signed as a Saint, has started in sixteen (16) of a possible thirty-two (32) regular season games, with one (1) other appearance; his production is limited to just one (1) interception, two (2) forced fumbles while recovering just one (1) fumble...

Jamarca Sanford is thirty (30) years of age and is set to be an unrestricted free agent...

That leaves Kenny Vaccaro - mixed bag and all...

I'm not saying we don't have holes, priorities on this team, but now y'all can see why my mock draft has two (2) safeties...

R1, S12 (Pick 12) WR LaQuon Treadwell, Ole Miss; Height: 6' 2"; Weight: 210 lbs.

R2, S16 (Pick 48) FS Darian Thompson, Boise St; Height: 6' 2"; Weight: 210 lbs.

R3, S15 (Pick 79) SS Miles Killebrew, Southern Utah; Height: 6’ 2”, Weight: 223 lbs.

R4, S14 (Pick 110*) OG Joe Dahl, Washington St; Height: 6' 5"; Weight: 310 lbs.

R5, S13 (Pick 141*) QB Kevin Hogan, Stanford; Height: 6' 4"; Weight: 218 lbs.

R6, S12 (Pick 172*) TRADED (This pick with 2015 Sixth Round Pick traded for DB Damian Swann)

R7, S16 (Pick 208*) LB Nick Kwiatkoski, West Virginia; Height: 6' 2"; Weight: 236 lbs.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

We need front 7 more than secondary.

I read up on him a little bit after asking and I remember him now. I don't know... He could have his head on straight now. Sometimes it works out like Tyrann Mathieu or Janoris Jenkins. I'm sure we'll find out what kind of impression he's making on coaches and GM's as this process plays out.

I'm gonna be doing my assessments early and get it all in before the sb.

First I will start with guards. Then I will move over to DT, and then TE and WR. Since those are our major needs.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

Guards
1.

He appears to be the only option for far for round 1. I had him originally second but found out Vadal Alexander was also a guard and tackle. He looks good against Auburn here and got better as the game went on against LA Tech.

2.

Martin looks to be second round. He looked good here.

3.

He can be gotten in the second round or third. If we miss out on Whitehair and Martin it might be best to go after Peat's former teammate.


4.

Second rounder here but there were things I didn't like. Too often he appeared lost at times. And factor in he is playing a SEC team and Duke in these highlights. Developing? But can we afford that?

5.

He's decent at run blocking but pass blocking. I didn't like much here. And he was awful against Michigan State, the better of the three schools in these highlights.

Draft
Round 1-Whitehair
Round 2-Martin
Round 2-Garnett(I say round 2 because he could be gone in round 3)

Do not draft
Round 2-Turner
Round 3-Drango

Seattle from what I hear may be looking for a guard so this is something to keep an eye on. If we want Whitehair, better be staying ahead of Seattle in the draft. Oakland could be a contender for Garnett, but what round they get him between 2 and 3 is undecided.
