Looking Gooooood!!! Now. Onto the draft. :smile:

Re: UPDATED DEFENSIVE DEPTH CHART
 

Draft a corner and safety.

Re: UPDATED DEFENSIVE DEPTH CHART
 

Completely agree with that sentiment.

Re: UPDATED DEFENSIVE DEPTH CHART
 

Don't forget CB PJ Williams

Re: UPDATED DEFENSIVE DEPTH CHART
 

Draft a DE, DT and CB and this defense would be set for a playoff run

IMO, a consistent pass rush would improve the play of the safeties

Re: UPDATED DEFENSIVE DEPTH CHART
 

He'll end up being our starting slot CB imo.

Re: UPDATED DEFENSIVE DEPTH CHART
 

PJ had an issue with giving losing to inside moves in college so slot will need some coaching.

Re: UPDATED DEFENSIVE DEPTH CHART
 

PJ WILLIAMS

STRENGTHS Possesses desired height, weight and speed. Able to face up and handle business from press coverage all game long. Bump-and-run specialist. Length and strength to put a receiver into detour mode off the jam. Waits to open hips up until receiver has committed to his release. Able to turn, run and close. Has feel to stay wired on inside or outside releases. Able to get on top of vertical routes and smother. Can carry speed down the field. Outstanding timing and ball skills to knock throw away. Instinctive and aware, extending outside of his area to make plays. Sure tackler in open field with second gear to explode into ball carriers.

WEAKNESSES Physical down the field and could take time to acclimate to NFL illegal-contact rules. Stays on high-side down the field, opening himself to easy comebacks. Appears to lose some interest when asked to cover in zone. Won't be able to consistently jam savvy NFL receivers off the line. Motor runs hot and cold. Shows up ready when stakes are high, but puts it in cruise control and play looks less motivated against lesser opponents. Inconsistent to step downhill and attack the run.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 2

SOURCES TELL US "I think his best position will end up being safety. He's strong enough as a tackler to make the move and his cover skills are what most teams are looking for from safeties now. He would be the second safety off the board if you project him there." - NFC general manager "Can't run. The more I watch him, the more limited I realize he's going to be." - NFC defensive backs coach

BOTTOM LINE Cover cornerback with the talent to play on an island, and the swagger to regroup and forget when beaten. Williams can cover outside or from the slot, and has potential to come in and start right away for an aggressive man-cover defense. Williams had some issues recovering when beaten deep and may end up making a move to safety on the next level. He has the talent to be a capable NFL starter at either position.

I still think PJ was a hellava steal in the 3rd, however up to this point we simply don't know what he can do.

Hopefully he can stay healthy and make a solid contribution at the position in 2016.

Re: UPDATED DEFENSIVE DEPTH CHART
 

I bet we still draft a receiver.

Re: UPDATED DEFENSIVE DEPTH CHART
 

do not get me wrong i still think PJ was a steal. But transitioning to slot will come with some bumps along the way that is all I am getting at
