HTTRDynasty Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Reddick is someone I'd been really hoping could fall to us at 17. His hype is getting out of control though, so I doubt it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailmary70 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I hope that we don't take a RB with our 1st pick. I'd like to grab Joe Mixon later. (I know what he did and I also believe that people deserve 2nd chances) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the Pats trading draft picks, I thought the same thing too of BB not liking the talent coming out this year. But the offseason the Pats have had lead me to believe BB has one or two more left in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hype is getting out of control though, so I doubt it happens. Reddick has some good film, so I can see how PFF really likes him. His athleticism testing numbers from the combine are all really good too. But what PFF is failing to account for is the size issue. He's only 6'1 and 237 pounds and has ordinary arm length. He's looking at a position switch unfortunately, because he simply does not have the body to stay on the edge in the NFL. And he doesn't play strong either, so he's not one of those guys with freakish functional power for his size. A couple of months ago, I thought it was crazy to move Reddick to the stack. He's a pass rusher who wins with speed. He needs to play on the edge to be able to do the thing he does at an elite level. But with his measurements, I just don't see how you can keep him on the edge in the NFL. He'd be a major liability against the run. And moving him inside is not going to be an easy transition. He's talented and productive, but he's a man without a natural position in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Bailey Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I like Christopher Carson RB Oklahoma as a value pick. Surprised he is projected as a late-round UDFA player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabbypatty Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Really a shame that Fournette won't be available when we pick. That guy fits Gruden's "power" scheme perfectly. Most of his big runs came from inside the tackles, just like Gruden likes to run. He would be the missing piece for the offense with his power, speed and agility running from the inside.. amazing athlete and running back.

Speaking of guys who would fit Gruden's running scheme, I hope the team takes a look at James Conner out of Pittsburgh. What some his carries and the guy is just freaking bulldozer of running back. I'd love to see how he would do for us. James Conner Highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddick's arms are only three-quarters of an inch shorter than Von Miller's, but his hand size is almost an inch larger. He's 9 pounds lighter than Von Miller but with a lower center of gravity. They compare favorably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did people say about Aaron Donald and Shaq Thompson? Some guys are just ballers and there talent demands a starting spot. Even if there not natural fit for any spot. Do I think it's smart to learn a position in the NFL with there limited practise time? No, but if guy is a filmrat who puts in his own time to improve. Then it is possible. This feels to me just like a guy who will make plays if you just let him loose. But I would not great him in top 15 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Has anyone said for sure they are moving Cravens to safety? Im wondering if they actually do target an ILB in the draft, and instead signed Swearinger to be the SS, plan to have Cravens at the second ILB spot, and Hall playing FS.

SkinssRvA Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 IMO it's a bad move to play Sua at safety. He's good in space close to the LOS. When put in space on the backend, going against top tier WRs/TEs in the NFL, he's going to struggle. My hope is that he plays as an in the box safety who rarely is asked to cover deep down the field.

He got beat up last year playing ILB too close to the LOS. The guy is a playmaker, he needs to roam and make plays in space, not banging with OL and TE's on every play.

SkinssRvA Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 When used on 1st and 2nd down sure, he's not an ILB. Do not disagree. Going against 12, 22, 21, etc personnel is not for sua either. IMO he's a nickel backer, and with more teams running spread sets there's plenty of room for him to play the majority of snaps. Problem is going to come when teams are in 00 10 or 11 personnel and Sua is covering WR2 deep. He's simply not built for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's simply not built for that. In those instances, defense would most likely be aligned in a dime package with Sua as possibly the only backer. This is why I'm intrigued by the possibility of drafting Peppers, if he's there. With Peppers, Sua, and DJ in the backfield, an innovative DC could move those pieces around quite a bit and cause major havoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez3 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Can someone please embed a film where Reddick shines. I watched 3 full games of him and was underwhelmed to concerned. I'm on an island here, but I am on the pass train with this kid. And what is his true position, ILB or OLB? I have a funny feeling the the BPA at 17 is going to be a WR again.

I think that would create a log jam at position. My wish is to somehow land Reuben Foster. I think the DL value is in the second round. I would love a S or CB personally.

Going Commando Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Williams is a top ten pick IMO. Ross and Davis could be BPA at 17, but I would have McCaffrey and McDowell ahead of them. I would probably have some of the DBs ahead of them too, but I haven't figured out which ones yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftech Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 With the addition of Pryor Skins will not be drafting a receiver. They'll probably go defense or a very talented game breaking running back if available. Hail Em Up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Gruden have smallish backs like Bernard and Green Ellis in Cincy? They didn't draft the bigger hill til Jay was gone. I always saw Scot as the one who likes a bruising back and stgrong defense like in Sea. Hence his big of Matt Jones to be his new Marshawn. Jay seems to like the faster backs like Kyle had in ATL. Maybe I'm wrong and wouldn't be the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
