Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
What scares you a bit on big man Billings? This guy could really move people down in Waco. I mean fork lift, white rhino type strength. To say this kid is only 21, he is already a grown man strong. Pretty light on his feet to say he is a tad over 300 lbs.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
With Billings the Buttttt revolves around playing against spread offenses. OL players from the spread are fundamentally flawed at the pro level. They are always a project. So my fear is what happens when he faces a pro offense were the OL does not bail into pass coverage eliminating the gaping lanes he got in college. Can he handle an OL that punches first before giving as little ground as possible.
Billings does come with some bull strength. BUTTTTTT....... Rankings is all about speed so he is still the biggest BUT in the draft for me. |

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
I think a 3 tech DT is our biggest need at the moment, but with so many good DT's in this draft we can find an instant starter in the 2nd round. I just did a quick 3 round mock to see how that approach could work:
Round 1 Pick 12: Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson - Perfect weak side DE to complement Cameron Jordan. The group of DT's is too deep to pass on a great DE here. Round 2 Pick 16: Chris Jones, DT/DE, Mississippi State - Boom. Day one starter at the 3 technique. Round 3 Pick 15: Joshua Garnett, OG, Stanford - Probably won't fall past the 2nd round so it's a no-brainer here. |
"When you get into one of these groups, there's only a couple of ways you can get out. One, is death; the other, is mental institutions."

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
big pro day IMO. This is the pro day I have had circled since day 1 of the draft beauty pageant season
March 24 Arizona Ball State Cal Poly East Carolina Houston Lamar Massachusetts Missouri Western State North Dakota State Rice Southern Miss Utah A bunch of serious day 2 and day 3 prospects hit the field Mike Jordan, CB/FS, Missouri Western Montese Overton OLB East Carolina Bryce Williams, TE, East Carolina Mike Thomas, WR, S. Miss Connor McGovern, OG, Missouri Evan Boehm OC/OG Missouri William Jackson IIl CB Houston Tajae Sharpe, WR, UMass Tevin Carter S Utah Joe Haeg OT/OG North Dakota State Cayleb Jones WR Arizona Jordan Williams-Lambert WR Ball St. Some top priority UDFA in the mix. |

McShay's latest mock has us going Rankins in the first and Jaylon Smith in the second.
