16-17 College/Draft Talk

Cook will make a top notch NFL 3 down Back. Low to the ground, excellent leg power, vision, explosiveness ... you name it. Well worth an early to mid 1st round pick.

 

[old duke]

Yes, he does have serious wheels, probably a 4.3 something 40. If we add a CB and WR in free agency, then I would be fine with him in the 1st round.

 

[Rey]

LSU DT Davon Godchaux is a player to keep in mind in Rd 3 or 4. He's flashed in a few Tiger games I've watched this year.

It's a deep CB draft and I'd be cool with a CB in the first and a trade up in the 2nd if another top CB slips. We have a little ways to go and need WR, T, RB, G, LB but I have ZERO issue snatching up 2 CBs.

 

[Iggloo]

Cook officially declares. I wonder if he even makes it to our pick though.

Florida State running back Dalvin Cook declares for NFL draft

Bama LT Cam Robinson looks like a man among boys against Washington. Top 10 pick imo.

 

[old duke]

Where is John Ross?

Where is John Ross?

Double covered every single play ... Washington can't run and the Bama front is destroying the Husky OL. Saban decided to take Ross out of the game and let others beat them. Bama's D is just incredible.

 

[Iggloo]

Ross is not a first rounder. Shut down and manhandled by Bama.

He has some character issues and might slip. If he does, we should roll the dice on him.

So, my question wold be how can he be a game breaker in the NFL? I like him, but I thought they would have had some schemes to get him open a little.

 

[Rey]

Bama was destroying Washington's OL with just their front 4 (allowing LBers and Safeties to play coverage) ... aside from Browning having no time to look downfield, Bama was bracketing Ross with LB'ers and Safeties along with really good Corners. This Bama D is one of the all time best college Defenses I have ever seen ... I highly doubt Ross' first round status will be tied to this game.

 

[old duke]

Maybe, but right now, i place him below Williams (a stud), and Corey Davis.

 

[Rey]

Well, watching this final game of the season ... we may just need to draft 3 Corners in this draft. Wed have just flat garbage at the positon. Nolan Carroll needs to just not play football for a living ... and that's our best Corner ... lol

 

[old duke]

Agree. Carroll never turns and looks for the ball. We don't have a legit CB on the roster. Mills may become a decent slot corner, Maybe.

Where is John Ross?

Wash QB sucks, wash OL couldn't keep my grandmother out of the backfield.

 

[ctc]

Gilmour has has an absolutely abysmal season for the bills. He's not a shut down corner. He's not even a top 15 cb in the league.
Woods? He's a guy, better than what we currently have, maybe a 2nd or 3rd wr.

 

[Iron Eagle]

Looks like we're picking either 14 or 15 depending on a coinflip.

Not a bad haul for Sam.

 

[Rey]

I heard 14th it is.

The Philadelphia Eagles will pick 14th in the 2017 NFL Draft

 

[old duke]

We pick 14th, and Cleveland picks 12, so it didn't turn out too bad.

So lets start trying to pick the 14th best player available!
