I think the edge rusher is the best option. One pick that immediately helps two position groups. I'm not sure we need to draft a DB if we shore up our line. At least not in early rounds.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

It really depends on what site you go to some saying a 3-4 space eater other comparing him to A'Shawn Johnson and Jarred Reed 4-3. They do say he is a force to deal with. My bad news is 2 sights saying he's returning to Washington for this season. My opionion he would be a great fit.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

My prediction is that they are going to draft one person on each level...

OL, WR, O backfield. DL, LB and DB

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I hope your right. Although our FO has started the 2 picks for 1 player thing.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Paaaaaaassssss

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Got caught with a gun earlier this year to boot. as a player he is more of a one trick at DE. That is why I like Ryan more.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Here in Indy it's reported that the Colts want a 4th round pick as compensation for losing Fleener.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Is it a comp pick or did Mickey get fleeced.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

A comp pick. is what I heard.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I still feel we got fleeced just glad we didn't have to cough up a pick.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Either for Vita Vea

" He is a big boy with exceptional quickness and power stuck in a phone booth"

He holds his ground while eating up double teams all game long and when you screw up and try to block him with a single blocker he will make you pay the price

I really like this kids upside

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Huskies defensive lineman Vita Vea will return for junior season, UW says
Vita Vea - Bing

he comes off the board

Smart move probably a first rounder projection at the start of the 2017 NCAA season.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Breaks my heart. He might be the #1 overall pick next season if he stays healthy.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I got to start my homework over now. He was 2nd round steal this season.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Well, if that happens, there's always the Patriots...

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

For those who want Tim Williams, contemplate this on the Tree of Whoa!

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Why do you always have to be a d--k? Not one person on this site cares to hear from you. Go away for goodness sake.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

We should get a compensatory pick for that signing...

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Thought Kendricks at the bottom of the 1st was a safer, more desirable pick than Anthony.

Wanted big MLB McKinney in the 2nd but I think he went prior to our pick.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Vic Beasley, Bud Dupree, Shaq Thompson, Stephone Anthony, Benardrick McKinney (one pick before Kikaha)...

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

That was a good year for lb'ers. Perryman and Kendricks was there also. Just goes to show what good coaching and bad coaching can do. Scheme goes a long way.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Quack.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Oh please say no to Watson

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

If the like button would let me click it 1000x from your post I would. Let him go anywhere but here.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I was hoping for Eric Kendricks out of that draft class. Hindsight is 20/20 but he was definitely a steal in the 2nd round.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Benardrick McKinney has looked pretty good so far. huge improvement in his game this year at MLB for the texans. 129 tackles 5 sacks

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

OMG!!!

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Some players we've talked to so far at East-Weat Shrine Game practice:

TE Blake Jarwin (Oklahoma State)
QB Wes Lunt (Illinois)
DT Chunky Clements (Illinois)
DT Matthew Godin (Michigan)

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I agree after watching that video. I was mostly impressed by his blocking, it looked pretty good.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

I liked his tape but when I tried looking his 40 time up I didn't find it. Also what round is he projected to be drafted?I do think we need 2 tough TE. I'm nowhere near a Fleecer fan and don't have a clue what Payton sees him.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Eric Saubert TE Drake 6036 242 4.72 #85 rSr
I am going to guess 6-7.

others that have caught my eye

Check this freak out 6/7

Phazahn Odom TE Fordham 6076 245 4.74 #15


Mighty mice 7/UDFA Top priority FA IMO

I really like
George Kittle TE Iowa 6036 250 4.77 #46 rSr

Interested for sure
Darrell Daniels TE/OLB Washington 6032 246 4.54 #15 Sr
verified Vernon Davis-like 4.4 speed?


Keep an eye on as an option
Cam Serigne, TE Wake Forest 6025 250 4.78 #85 rJr
underrated smart, tough, great ball skills, great route runner.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Good list I was impressed with the guy from Washington, it didn't show much on his blocking but him playing olb he has to be at the least a decent blocker. If we wanted to go with a blocking TE the Iowa guy. I see no reason Payton don't pull the trigger in the draft on a TE.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Kittle is my poor mans Butt in the draft. Do not under estimate his receiving skills. He ain't pretty like all 3rd down traditional TE but he gets the job done in all phases of the game. Like C.J. Beathard it is had to judge how good they may be because of the system they were stuck in at Iowa.

Darrell Daniels is a swiss army knife on offense. He was not asked to block much in Washington's offense so it is kind of a mystery. Like the fact you pointed out the experience at OLB, Good indicator he will shy away from taking on defenders. If he does put the numbers many think he will, his stock should sky rocket by draft time.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

The way Brees/Payton likes to throw to high buckets (Spot Locations) we really need a 6-5/6-6 Tight End with reliable hands and good route discipline...

Fleener really cost us with those drops this season...

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

That last statement is true in more ways than one.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Today we can add:

LB Calvin Munson (San Diego State)
WR Tony Stevens (Auburn)

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Thanks. Keep them coming Chris.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Colby we are married to through 2018 looking at his contract. The drops are an issue but the next glaring concern is his lack of effort in blocking. Even setting a hard pick appears to be to much to ask.

Draft a freak like O.J. Howard and you get your contract out from Fleener if he does not get his act together down the road. Plus he is a huge up grade as a blocker. Nice to draft a player that gives you another weapon but also offers freedom if all goes as plan. Dull threat at TE would be a nice. Taking a page from the pats playbook here.

I always look for true impact freaks on day one. Player that only come around once in a blue moon. Add in the ability to free you from a contract trap down the road is a huge plus. Fleener is a huge contract trap from 2018 on. 2019 and 2020 he is a 9 million trap. Yes the dead money gives us an out.

Add in a trade down once or twice and the picks it would bring would not only offer flexibility but allow a huge influx of youth on defense.

Re: 2017 draft prospects thread
 

Mel Kiper's first mock draft has us taking...

New Orleans Saints

Reuben Foster, ILB, Alabama
Foster is one of my favorite prospects in this draft. At 6-1, 240 pounds, he has stellar range, runs sideline to sideline and is a complete linebacker. He's a terrific blitzer, too, and recorded five sacks in 2016. The Saints need defensive help -- 2015 first-round pick Stephone Anthony played just 127 defensive snaps this season.
