2019 NFL Draft Tidbits
It's getting closer so I figure we could move some draft talk to the Lounge.
Charles Robinson usually has some good tidbits on stuff so heres a thread on some stuff he's hearing.

I like Montgomery and Sanders at RB. I remember when Reid traded up from the bottom in Philly to get Cox. So I can realistically see Reid trading up to get that defensive playmaker or TE and staying put for a CB.

One of Dorsey's faults was falling in love with measurables. That's part of it, but so much of defense is not about that, it's about wanting to knock the snot of the guy in front of you and 'feeling' what's happening even when you can't see it in traffic. The knock on Honey Badger was that he was too small and too slow for the NFL. He's a good example of instincts and aggression winning out over measurables. Kuechly was too slow and a mediocre athlete, too, remember? So was Tamba Hali. For the last few years of Sutton's regime, the defense sat on their heels. It's time to dictate; force the offense to deal with our will. First in sacks got us the #31 defense, so that's clearly not the answer. |

A true Ball Hawk who plays the position like a WR when the ball is in the air and hits like we have just invaded his house and will see you coming(instinct) before it ever happens. |

Well, I played TE and DE in high school. But I was too skinny, so what did the other team do? Ran right at me. In my case, I was physically too light to hold the edge even though I was trying to be physically aggressive. As much as I loved it, I was a basketball player physique trying to play football. Ford's not aggressive, just fast. He either beats you with the first step or he doesn't. When he does, it's flashy, it's a 'WOW' moment. The rest of the time you can block him with a WR. If nobody can run on us, we'll flirt with a perfect season. It's that simple. Your only hope unless you have an elite QB is to run the ball and keep Mahomes off the field. If you have to throw every down, well, we should cover better than last year with Breeland and HB plus the draftees. Daly has shown he can get pressure from JAGs in NE by scheme. You gloom and doom guys are all going to be pleasantly surprised. Consider this- are any of you picking the Patriots to suck balls because they let Flowers walk? |

I'm so hard right now thinking about the draft. I mean Mayock has put together a playoff roster already and he still has 4 top 35 picks left. Absolute madman.

Scandrick started what, 14 games? < Ward, who played two all-pro QB's and held his own in 3 games. Breeland>Nelson. Don't even try to argue. Okafor is a much better run defender than Ford. Not as good of a pass rusher, but still has an 8 sack season under his belt. Furthermore, a history of being relatively healthy. Wilson is at worst a quality rotational player that still has upside and some speed. a 4-3 front fits many of players better than the 3-4. Jones, Nnadi, and Speaks as well as possibly Kpass should all be at least as good or better just due to scheme/responsibilities. Hitchens looked excellent in the 4-3. O'Daniel fits better too. All 2nd and 3rd year guys can be expected to improve just due to experience. We still have the draft and bargain hunting to do. We've improved the defensive coaching staff. I don't think there's any reason to not expect them to be better. |

Breeland is better than Nelson and it’s not really close

Even when I agree with your overall point, your posts just scream "DUMBASS!"
