Just from reading a few tweets on Obi, he has closing speed and middle of the field awareness are very good. Mike Mayock's recent analysis (feet/hip movement) of him seems to be more gear towards playing corner back in the NFL. He could end up as the next Taylor Mays or Kam Chancellor. |

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
Trubisky? Really JP? You haven't been raiding Hagan's scotch stash have you?
Hagan's about talked me into a TE at eleven, but a single season QB? |

Now, there are only three quarterbacks I take in this draft...

Third Round - Nathan Peterman, Pittsburgh I think the Saints should definitely nab this kid if we've taken our DE, DB by the third round; really like this kid's moxie (impressive, poised takedown of Clemson); and he's got good arm strength; if Payton and he click, future will be secure... Fifth Round - Chad Kelley, Ole Miss Big Ole Miss fan, and this kid is as tough as nails with impressive defeats in the SEC including the Big Elephant; but his head is as tough as nails as well and I don't see Holmgren, Mariucci nor Gruden type that can handle this Favre-esque personality; but the physical tools are there... Many of the other kids that are highly rated have some serious flaws in their games and played at Big Schools (e.g. Notre Dame, Clemson) where they had outstanding receivers that bailed them out time and again... These three were quite impressive; if I had my choice, and I don't like my options at No. 11, I try to add a Day 2 pick and move back 5-10 spots... Believe me, there are teams that want that 11th spot real bad in this draft... |

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

A million dollar arm (see Jamarcus, Leinart, Manzell) and a .15 cent head doesn't cut it at this level anymore.
I don't even think Kelly is on Sean Payton's radar. |

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
There it is. Thanks for putting it into words JP. I'd rather draft no one at eleven than any of the quarterbacks out there. Turn it into more picks further back instead.

Great black mail stuff. A simple flip of picks with the Browns could change the enter draft for the saints at those over valued prices. swap seconds. 33 end of day 1 and pick 33 at the start of day 2. by all odds would be huge. gotta get pick 145 round 5 to start off day 3 and whatever else we can milk out of them. |
