Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Nice... but LSU and SP does not compute. Don't shoot the messenger!

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Oh man, I think this would be an incredible draft.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Yeah I know but unlike most LSU players were talent is not the issue and football IQ is. In SP eyes - I am guessing.

Ethan Pocic is just the opposite. may not be the most gifted player out there but he has the smarts and attitude to make up for it.

So if my assumption is right about SP view point on LSU players, he is an option.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Pocic can play guard I believe. We must draft a guard early if we don't sign one in free agency, which I hope we sign Zeitler incidentally.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Just ran one, here are my results:

Round 1, Pick 11: Derek Barnett - DE - Tennessee
- the compliment to Cam Jordan. FInally legit pressure from both ends

Round 2, Pick 10: Gareon Conley - CB - Ohio State
- thought about going LB, but felt Conley was a better value than the LBs available at the pick. Solid CB, should improve our DB group

Round 3, Pick 12: Dion Dawkins - G - Temple
- big guy, played LT at Temple but moved inside during the Senior Bowl and was successful. Nasty guy, plays hard, quick feet... should fill in at one of our guard spots

Round 4, Pick 11: Connor Harris - ILB - Lindenwood
- small school guy, with reported great work ethic and high character. Set NCAA for college tackle record of 633 tackles during his career. Also, projected as one of the fastest ILBs in the draft (4.65 prediction). Adding speed to our defense

Round 6, Pick 12: Tarik Cohen - RB - North Carolina A&T
- nicknamed the "human joystick", and called by NFL.com as Darren Sproles 2.0. Small but quick, stops on a dime and makes great cuts with excellent vision
Tarik Cohen Draft Profile

Round 7, Pick 11: Eric Saubert - TE - Drake
- another small school guy, put up solid numbers. Had a great week at the East-West Shrine Game, but tendency to drop balls. Late round TE who still put up good numbers, so why not?

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

I could see someone doing something pretty crazy to get Fournette. Not that crazy though.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

You had me at Reuben Foster.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

I like Gareon Conley over Marshon Lattimore -
Marshon Lattimore - chronic hamstring dating back to his high school
Gareon Conley - His mental game is ahead that of Lattimore's. He needs work as a tackler.

I am leaning towards Quincy Wilson because of the big slow WR/TE in our division

Cordrea Tankersley improved his all around game so much I wonder about how high his ceiling really is,

I really like him at OG but how bad will the baggage hurt his stock

Ok I gotta see more of this kid :beer:

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Tarik Cohen, ahhh that would be a great pick. Looks like Sproles but more agile.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Keep a lazy eye on this kid in the 6th and or UDFA... played very close to home (Baton Rouge/Southern University). Quick, elusive, deceptively strong and has a knack for getting into the end zone.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Here's another Tarik Cohen video. Kid has skills..

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

I see now why he's nicknamed "Joystick". Very Barry Sanderesque. But 5'6" / 179 lbs? Wonder how long he would last.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

fun to watch but i question his willingness to block at this point as a 3rd down back. He is not as bad as D'Onta Foreman who will get a QB killed to avoid picking up a blitz. He is a solid option IMO

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Most mocks have Foster gone by then, but I would love that pick. If he is there at 9 I'd like to see us move up. I don't think the Bills at 10 are a threat.
I love Adoree Jackson- the type of guy that can save you a few a roster spot or two as well- he actually caught 27 passes two years ago when USC was still very low on scholarship players

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

I am waiting for the combine... but I would sign off on moving up to get Foster.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

I have been somewhat critical on the Saints for trading up (Sedrick Ellis, Mark Ingram, Cooks, etc.) but this is a year where I wouldn't argue with going up to get a true difference-maker.

Assuming the Saints FO stays put at #11, cross your fingers Cincy or Buffalo go corner back or safety.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Isn't Darren Sproles 5' 6"?

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

I'd love it if Adoree' came in and played nickel and fielded punt returns kick off returns; with the triplets on offense, why overwork him?

Now Foster could fall to us; but Buffalo is taking him if he's there, unless there's a quarterback or wide receiver they really like...

Though, the Bills may shy away from Clemson receivers...

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

With the shoulder injury, I don't know, Foster could fall to Pick No. 11...

Buffalo could use a MLBer but they also need weapons on the outside, and may even need a QB...

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

I'm not seeing Barnett's game translating to our defense, much less the NFL as he's a one-trick pony - Keep seeing Danny Wuerffel - Great College Player, Lacks elite athleticism for a pick this high, and lacks size, length for the Pro 4-3 DE; and it showed when playing the SEC big dogs; we've seen his ceiling...

Can think of four, five cornerbacks I'd take ahed of Conley; if we're taking a CB this high, be sure he's an NFL starter...

Is he out of the ARD (Accelerated Rehab Disposition) program? You know, normally for non-violent types but in his case he's a college thug-life type that should be doing three to five for aggravated assault with conspiracy but because he and Reddick are local college thug heroes, they get special dispensation with a non-admission plea? Besides, Dawkins' technique is awful; maybe Houston will pick him and JJ Watt will beat his @ss in training camp and he'll wash out...

I like this guy, I really do; reminds me of a Sam Mills/Zach Thomas type potential, but there are a couple of these guys per draft season and their size is their undoing; you picked him where he's slotted, but I'd wait and see if he fall to mid-fifth, maybe sixth and then move to get him...

We had Darren Sproles 1.0 and let him out of the door and was perfectly summarized by Drew Brees, "You only see a Darren Sproles type of player come around once in your career." We were saying the same thing with Murphy...

"...but tendency to drop balls..." - Don't we have this guy under contract already? Or do we just want that player at a cheaper clip? Actually I like Saubert and he'll be more of a Todd Christensen type tight end and a little more reliable than the Human Mullet...

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Foster won't be doing drills at combine. He may not even be ready by 'Bama Pro Day...

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Yes and 190 lbs. I think Tarik (178) would have to put on more muscle weight to take that nfl pounding.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

I've purposely avoided doing mock drafts because they're pointless before free agency. Can't wait til next week! We should have a lot more clarity on how the top 10 could play out.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

So did Sproles...

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Ok cool. I don't know what Sproles weighed coming out of college.

Edit: Sproles was 187 on his pro day. 9 lbs on a 5'6" Frame makes a big difference.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Get rid of Cooks and get the #5 pick. Get someone to trade up for Fournette @ #5 outside of the division.
What would that be worth? The goal is 4 new defensive players with 2 #1 and 2 #2 round picks. Sorry Mike the Tiger.

Re: Fanspeak 2017 NFL Draft Simulator
 

Wish the guy well, except when playing us, but I get the feeling Fournette will not be all that in the NFL...

See, Miles and LSU media blitz proclaimed he was the greatest before he earned the title...

He wasn't even performing as the best back at LSU when he left...

And now he's got that water weight...

Well, these will certainly be changing after today...
