16-17 College/Draft Talk

[Rey]

Watched Washington destroy Stanford last night ... WR John Ross has some serious game breaking speed. Would love to add a player like that to take the top off the Defense. There's talk he run a 4.25 or there about; I wouldn't doubt it.

My boy John Ross with another 3 TD game ... this time against Oregon. This kid does not get enough credit as one of the best receivers in the nation.

 

[old duke]

Very good size/speed. He's on the radar!

The more I watch of Washington CB Sidney Jones ... the more I like. Kid's excellent when the ball is in the air.

My only concern is that he is thin, and can he hold up in the NFL?

From a pure coverage perspective ... he's really impressive with instincts and timing. Haven't really scouted him against the run.

 

[Rey]

Man, what a perfect touch throw by Wentz!

 

[Rey]

Well, with Lane Johnson out the next 10 games we should look at some OLinemen. I'll throw out a name that's not one of the top names ... he's Avery Gennesy of Texas A&M. Dude plays with an excellent base and balance. Very good power and he's wide (hard to move or get around). I've seen him mostly play LT, but looks like a guy who has the power to move all over the Line.

Dede Westbrook has looked really good the last couple of games - JUCO transfer who has stepped up big time since Sterling Shepard's departure.

Kid's been flat out amazing his last 4 games.

Here's a WR I'd love to add for Wentz ... small school, but he's bad ass ... Corey Davis

Anyone catch my boy Corey Davis last night? 272 receiving yards and 3 TD's!! wow ... Doubtful we would take a WR in Rd 1, but this kid is for real.

 

[old duke]

Rey, I think we shore up the other needs in Free Agency, and draft a stud WR in the 1st round. So, Yes, I want Howie to trade up and get Corey in round one. I'm tired of setting for the best available WR, and want to ste[p up for another T.O.! I'm all in. If he can't get it done, then at least I want John Ross next.

 

[old duke]

Howie better move to draft Saquon Barkley in 2018!

 

[Rey]

My other WR I've been pimping (Washington's John Ross) had yet another monster game ... over 200 receiving with another 3 TD's.

 

[Iggloo]

Corey Davis--I am on his bandwagon now for sure. We need a guy like that with a combination of size, hands and speed to be our #1 receiver.

[Wings]

Yep already made a Thread earlier that Corey Davis is my guy in rd 1 I don't care if we need to move up for him...Kids the real deal.

Couldn't help overhearing the Ross talk in here. He made Browning look good this weekend handling some under throws. I'm guessing he won't be back for his senior year.

 

[I miss Dawkins]

Who is the BEST center coming out in this draft, and where do you guys feel like the most likely draft window he will be found at?? (ie, lower 1st; upper/middle 2nd round; 3rd round, etc)

Ethan Pocic, LSU. Biggest negative is his height - 6'6". Weighs over 300 lbs. I wouldn't draft a Center before round 3, unless a better Center comes along, and is a real stud, ala Fredrickson (Dallas). I just want the meanest, toughest, mangler I can get to plug up the mddle. Kelce is mobile, but too small.

 

[Frizzle]

I am liking what I am seeing from Corey Davis. Kid catches with his hands instead of his body. IMO that is a huge problem with our WRs is they use their bodies to catch the ball instead of their hands.

Yes my position has changed on what we should draft first. Its clearly evident that our WR group couldn't catch a cold.

1st priority is a WR
2nd OL/RB



FA could be interesting, however we only have 5 Million in cap space. I hope they re-sign our long snapper, his name is hardly ever mentioned which is a good thing! Big V seems to have stepped up, a good value for a 5th round pick, perhaps Lane moves to LT and we cut peters? If we cut Peters and Daniels that gives us 15 million in cap space.
