16-17 College/Draft Talk

[Iggloo]

He seems like a very intriguing prospect. But I am scarred by Danny Watkins.

 

[old duke]

Don't worry. Joe Douglas and team will have Howie make the right picks. we're in good hands now.

 

[Rey]

Here is a guy that many mocks have us taking:

Ryan Ramczyk, T, Wisconsin. Big, strong, tough guy.
I'm OK with that, as long as we wind up with Corey Davis in Rd. 2, which would mean a slight trade up.

I don't know enough about Ramczyk ... I'll focus in on him the next couple of weeks. The reviews on him are good.

 

[Iggloo]

He's only a freshman so he is out of the question this draft, but have you guys seen University of Houston DT Ed Oliver? Guy is the most high motor DT I think I have ever seen.

Don't know if you were talking about Ramczyk Iggy ... but he's a Senior if you meant him.

 

[old duke]

ED Oliver is a freshman at Houston, Rey. Iggy just threw his name out there for the future. Look for him in 2019 draft. 6'2, 290 #.

He changed the subject from Ramczyk. I'm not saying at this point that I'd draft Ramczyk, but saw a report that the Eagles pick him in the 1st round. If a OL is not a blue chipper, then I go for a CB, or WR, in the 1st.

 

[Rey]

So I watched Wisconsin and Notre Dame today to check out OT's Ramczyk and McGlinchey. My take is that both are solid prospects; Ramczyk shows better lateral mobility, but McGlinchey is a wall with excellent technique as long as he can keep the defender in front of him. McGlinchey did have 2 or 3 false starts and did struggle a couple of times when the End used counter moves. Both seemed better in pass protection than in the run game, but it's not a liability either for neither of them. I would take Ramczyk before McGlinchey, but neither guy left me wanting to put them in a Mock unless we're talking about a pick after 25.

Looks like RB Christian McCaffrey is finally healthy ... great vision and cutback ability on both TD's. Serious breakaway jets on that 90 yard TD. Dude may end up with over 300 rushing today against Cal.

 

[Rey]

McCaffery continues his dominance over the past 5 games since finally getting healthy ... kid's a stud! Explosive, tremendous vision and cut back skills as well as an excellent receiver.

Clemson WR Mike Williams with a 3 TD game ... would love it if we could get our hands on him in Rd 1. Talk about a guy who has Pro Bowl WR written all over him.

 

[mall3013]

I love Mike Williams as well. My 3 top WRs would be 1) Williams (Clemson) 2) Davis (WKU) and 3) Ross (UW) any of these 3 would be great.

 

[old duke]

You got that correct.

 

[old duke]

BTW, Draft Wire has the Eagles taking WR Courtland Sutton, SMU, with their first pick. What? No Corey Davis?

Not a fan ... big body with average speed/quickness. Pretty much what we already have in DGB ... no way in hell I would take him in Rd 1.

 

[Iggloo]

Sutton is a lot like DGB.

 

[eaglesnut]

After we lose to everyone in the division again the Browns are going to get a great pick.

 

[Northern Eagle]

Adoree Jackson is a stud - I'm hoping the Vikes bottom out so we can be in a better position to get this guy.

At least we won the only important game of the season.

So are we rooting for Dallas this week?

 

[Northern Eagle]

So are we rooting for Dallas this week?

Yes?

I never thought of a scenario where I might be pulling for the Cowboys to win. Excuse me while I go barf now.

 

[Iggloo]

I am not rooting for Dallas, ever, but realistically we know they will win and that will make our pick better.
