Hankins isn't that bad, just that I've heard he has weight problems and that's no good for a DT

Weight problems. 2 down player. Absolutely no pass rush whatsoever. Disappears for entire games. Injured.

Yeah!!! BPA!!!

The 3 DT's in the middle are neck and neck. Floyd's imo is the safest pick among them.

• Chance Warmack
• Jesse Williams
• Cordarrelle Patterson/Justin Hunter
• Sheldon Richardson
• Dee Milliner

edit: Oh Jesse Williams? Pure run stuffer, not a fan. There are other NT prospects in this draft that can actually move around and bring some pressure.

Side note: saw a mock draft with star falling to our pick, don't think it'll ever happen. But that would be amazing

What NT is more athletic and better at bringing pressure than Williams lol???

Not many nose tackles are elite pass rushers. Their job is to occupy blockers so that the pass rushers (Johnson, Hardy, Dwan) can rush the passer more effectively. A nose tackle that must be double teamed on every play is as valuable as any elite pass rusher, particularly if you have two elite pass rushers already on the line as we do.

He doesn't look that quick to me, then again I gotta watch more tape for a more informed opinion.

I know that, but NT's in a 43 don't tend to get drafted high. 3 techniques tend to go much earlier, especially in a passing league. There are exceptions to the rule, but those guys tend to be athletic freaks like Ngata and Poe. That's just how people have been drafting.

I too am high on Brennan Williams, chuck. He played right tackle at UNC, mainly because of another future high draft pick in James Hurst played LT, but I think he has the ability to develop into a LT. He's 6-7, 315-pounds, who is really flexible and has really good feet.

I could see him starting out at RT his first couple of years and moving to LT, similar to what Tyron Smith did for the Cowboys. I honestly don't think he makes it out of the 2nd round and may come off the board late in the 1st when all is said and done.

have you heard any updates on that shoulder?

[Navy_football]

I'm just going to do a top 5 because unless you're doing a top 50 then its kinda pointless.

Feel free to post as many prospects as you like.

My top 5:

1. Eric Fisher
2. Chance Warmack
3. Cordarrelle Patterson
4. Jesse Williams
5. Jonathan Banks

I like this approach very very much!!!

[BigBeezy]

I think he should be ready for the combine and pro days. He probably would've played in the Senior Bowl had he not gotten hurt.

[scarface]

1. WR Cordarrelle Patterson
2. DT Star Lotulelei - Jesse Williams - Sheldon Richardson - Sylvester Williams
3. CB Jonathan Banks - Dee Milliner
4. WR Keenan Allen - DeAndre Hopkins - Terrance Williams
5. OT Eric Fisher
6. OG Chance Warmack - Johnathon Cooper

I can't wait until you discover how overrated Hankins is.

I will go out on a limb right now and say that Jonathan Hankins will be a second rounder.

As much as I agree with you most of the time. Hankins won't fall past the 1st. I sincerely doubt it.

It's still really early, but in the scouting world Hankins arrow is pointing down down down.
