SJ's 2016-2017 NFL prospect chat

Wonder where Anthony Lynn is going? McCoy looks like a puppet. Hope they can bring in a DC with a hammer.

Lynn most recently interviewed with the Chargers. I'm not sure he's ready to be a head coach just yet; he's only been a coordinator for part of this season.

Wade Phillips would only be a good DC hire if he stays with the 4-3. We have a boatload of D-lineman and no LBs and it would be stupid to try and make Quinn a LB. Something similar to making Ogletree a Middle LB.

Who knows

Rams add Phillips to run defense, source says

 

[RamsFan88]

He's said he would adapt the system to the players.

@Retroram52

We gonna need some LBs regardless

So are you drinking the kool-aid on those guys, or accusing the article of drinking the kool-aid?

You have Magnuson listed in both, btw.

Rams were reported to have interviewed the OT from Michigan.

Wasn't he the RT for Michigan? I can't see him helping at LT for the Rams, and RT should be in OK hands with Havenstein.

I say we take him and move him to center?

Who knows wth the Rams are doing.

 

[SJ76]

Long way to the combine, but JuJu Smith-Schuster, USC WR seems to be a guy that could be there unless he tears the combine up.


He was a top 10 pick when the season began and had a good year. Sometimes these guys drop for no apparent reason.

 

[SJ76]

Pretty decent class of TE's coming out this year.


1. O.J. Howard, Alabama
2. Jake Butt, Michigan
3. David Njoku, Miami
4. Evan Engram, Ole Miss
5. Jordan Leggett, Clemson

Top 5 2017 NFL Draft prospects by position


Offensive tackles


1. Cam Robinson, Alabama
2. Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin
3. Roderick Johnson, Florida State
4. Garett Bolles, Utah
5. Dion Dawkins, Temple

Scouts have decried the lack of franchise offensive tackles in the 2017 class, but that won't stop them from taking a flier on a big, athletic blocker with a hint of agility, balance and body control. Robinson is the crown jewel of the class despite his reputation as a mauler/brawler on the edge. He is a monster in the running game but needs to refine his technique in pass protection. Bolles intrigues some scouts as an athletic edge blocker with outstanding athleticism and agility.

 

[SJ76]

Offensive guards/centers


1. Dan Feeney, Indiana
2. Ethan Pocic, LSU
3. Forrest Lamp, Western Kentucky
4. Pat Elflein, Ohio State
5. Dorian Johnson, Pittsburgh

The scouting community is always looking for rugged interior blockers with size, strength, athleticism and nasty dispositions. The 2017 class certainly has a handful of "hard-hat-and-lunch-pail" guys capable of stepping in as Day 1 starters. Feeney headlines the group as a blue-collar blocker with a nasty game. He is a scheme-friendly player with the capacity to play in a zone or power-based scheme at the point of attack. Johnson flashes some power and pop as a mauler-type in a power-based scheme.

Seems like this draft is loaded with DBs

Adoree Jackson at #10? I know it's CBS but..


No I don't have a thing for USC players either

 

[SJ76]

Value at WR?? These guys are down the list a bit


Malachi Dupre, LSU
Taywan Taylor, WKU
Travis Rudolph, FSU
KD Cannon, Baylor
Carlos Henderson, La Tech
Stacie Coley, The U
Amba Etta-Tawo, Cuse

 

[SJ76]

It's a homer pick, but one WR that has really surprised me has been Amba Etta-Tawo of Syracuse (graduate transfer from Maryland). He was just added to the Biletnikoff watch list, has 40-706-5 so far. Looks like he was an afterthought at Maryland that really wanted to play in new coach Dino Baber's uptempo system at Syracuse.

James Quick has looked pretty good catching passes from Lamar Jackson.

Funny how Louisville finishes so poorly and Quick's stock dropped like a rock.

 

[SJ76]

Wonder how many teams need a LT and will take 1 with their 1st pick?


Seattle would most likely.
