The 2019 NFL Draft Thread

[SteelersPride]

I'd actually take Hakeem Butler over anyone but Brown. I think he's going to be a beast for many years.

1. Brown
2. Butler
3. Brown
4. Harry
5. Campbell

butler has the tools, raw, needs to fix and put together some things

Did Brown give himself that nickname? That I did not know.

Gus Johnson gave it to him. AB's cousin. AB's involved.He fully embraces the nickname No thanks

He's from Hollywood, FL

6'5" 230 and he runs a 4.48. I don't know much about him as far as route running, etc. I also didn't see him play much so I can't give my opinion.

Like all big receivers he primarily runs 4 routes(Go, post, slant, and curl) he wins with size and speed, route running isn't that important with big receivers.

This might have been covered already, but what is this thing they're doing for the draft this year? I saw that 8 of the original NFL cities are "supplementing" Nashville. What does that mean?

Picks will be made from those cities? Just a guess....

Yeah, he's rd1.

I may have to walk back my gif. Polite apparently has hamstring issues in addition to his terrible, horrible interviews.

The problem I personally see with this is that he got injured adding weight which is a bad sign if you're running a 4-3. I think he should still go in the top 50 picks but maybe only as a 3-4 guy.

And probably not rd1 anymore.

I thought he was knocked out of Rd 1 likelihood a while ago.

Still a top pass rusher.
I don't need him to act all that professionally if he can get quarterbacks.

I didn't see a whole lot wrong with his 'interview' issues. His inability to be prepared for the combine in general on top of his inconsistency on game film probably pushes him to that Randy Gregory territory, though.

He is probably off the board or near it for about half of the teams. Its going to be the teams that take guys with character issues that will grab him.

For the Browns fans I just wanted to mention one more time how great it is to go into the draft and not have to think about a QB.

Typical BB pick.
Past injury✔
Character concerns✔
Florida Gator✔

To compound matters I was seeing draft projections for him going in the 4th round. I'm hoping NE learned their lesson with Gator players that have character issues being selected in round 4 (AH)

So for the DeAndre Baker vs Byron Murphy debate... Who do you guys think will be better at the next level?

From everything I’ve seen, Murphy would be my choice. Baker seems more scheme dependent.

Thoughts?

I believe you have hit the head on the nail.

Baker to me needs to improve on his one on one coverage, being able to be alone out on that island. Murphy can do it, but he as well needs to improve. He sometimes miss plays the ball, got in trouble a couple times which of course leads to giving up some big plays. Both to me need to get the extra work in, they can be plug and play guys but they might not get it right out of the gate.

Agreed. I think I read somewhere that Murphy has only started 20 games or so? So a lot of his mess-ups can be attributed to a learning curve. To be considered one of the top CBs in the draft with such little starting experience speaks volumes to his abilities.

Feels like the same discussions that were had over TJ Watt.
