Priority FA? LMAO is it to early?

Actually there is one RB I really like that is getting absolutely no chatter which is a good thing. Needs some coaching. In a year on the PS you might have found yourself a steal. He is one of my top diamond in the rough players.

Chris Carson RB Oklahoma State 6005 215 4.52 #32 Sr
Square peg round hole? Great power, determination and athleticism. Solid option out of the backfield 5.8 YPC on 115 attempts during his three years. A spread offense may have not been the smartest choice for him. May not be an every down back but has the potential to be a solid part of a rotation.

Two rumors from WalterFootball...

"Sources with the Saints say their first-round pick might come down to the best available player at edge rusher or cover corner." - Charlie Campbell

"While it is very early in the process, here are five teams that are showing a lot of interest in emerging Connecticut safety Melifonwu: Seattle Seahawks, Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, and Carolina Panthers." - Charlie Campbell

Scary when a guy goes from 3/4/5/6 to 2/3 prospect. Did he really answer all the questions in one week? I am good with a solid 3rd at this point. A second? not sure if I am ready to go there yet

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I so far have looked at two ILBs and it appears that Foster is the clear top tier option. I saw a lot of flaws with McMillan(think his ranking is due to OSU and being on a defense with other good players). I will only look at one more and that will be Jarrad Davis.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I like foster but would rather a CB Marshon or that guy from Florida. I think we should alternate CB then DE throughout the draft

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Yeah I am pretty sold on ILB Foster - I think we move up to 7 or 9 to snag him.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I'm curious to hear your take on Jarrad Davis. I haven't looked at him too closely myself but I'm hearing lots of buzz about him being underrated. If we had a shot at him in the 2nd round I wonder if it would be worth passing on Foster in the 1st for a CB or DE.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

We had a shot at Deion Jones and Kwon Alexander and passed on both, they both had excellent rookie seasons and one is a major reason his team are in the super bowl.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

A CB in the 1st round? ... he better be Marcus Peters type talent and production coming out of college. I'd rather a pass rusher or LB (Beasley, Bosa, Leonard Williams, Shane Ray) at pick #11.

There is Cam, Rankins, Fairley, (UFA) and everyone else. This defense is in desperate need of play makers.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I keep coming back to this quote on Washington CB Sidney Jones from his NFL.com draft profile:

"I think he picked up all of (Marcus) Peters' good traits as a player without the personality defects. He marries that great FBI (football intelligence) with an explosive close-out and that will win in the pros just like it wins in college. You will always wish he was 198 pounds, but he won't be." -- NFC East regional scout

That's hard praise to ignore.
