Just to give you an idea of everyone's stock out of the guys we're looking at... this all based on DraftExpresses rankings not mine

9th pick: Ennis, Hood

24th pick: Early, Robinson III, Hairston, Tavares

45th pick: Antetokounmpo, Daniels, Fair, Ejim, Benimon, Thames, Dawkins, Vives

These are all the guys we have scouted, interviewed, or scheduled/conducted workouts with.

If you want, feel free to choose the best three from each pick.

Everyone listed here has a grade outside of the 9th pick and even he's not set in stone there. Hood is in the mid to late teens of the first and Ennis is the same, some think he'll still be available in the early 20's.

I don't see one player listed worth the 9th pick at all. Which makes me lean even further to it being traded away.

Both Hood and Ennis will not be there at 24, which is why they are slotted at the 9th spot. Both players will go between the 14-18 range.

If you want either of them you're going to have to pick them at nine or trade down and select them with the pick you traded for.

Hairston may move up into this category but he currently isn't.

Hood is more of a project on defense than Biyombo is on offense.. Simply bc of desire.

It killed Duke to have Hood being batcrap awful on defense and Jabari who was good but half azzed it on D with minor conditioning issues.

Both on the floor cause tourny embarassment.

I'm not really high on Hood either but he's an interesting prospect. I've seen comparisons from Martell Webster to Rashard Lewis, to Rudy Gay.

He's nearly 6'9" so he's definitely playing the three spot. He's a good slasher and has a really good shooting touch but he'd be MKG's back-up and I don't want to draft a back-up with any pick earlier than 15th overall.

At 16, sure... take Hood and let him come in and get 20 minutes a game behind MKG but at 16 you could make the case for Hairston.... sooooo.... I don't see Hood as a viable option.

Not saying Hood was always great or even good on D, but this may be the first time I've seen someone say he was awful. And that Jabari was good. Jabari essentially never played help side, was out of position, and overall pretty bad on D most of the time IMO. Hood was one of the few bright spots, if only in spurts (when his mind was on it). If he can add some weight, to go with his length and athleticism, I think his defense will come around to be average enough at the NBA level.

Were trading back.  I'm not sure if we can move up....but the 9th and 24th for a pick in the mid teens and a vet.

 

Here's an observation of note.  Both the Timberwolves and the Jazz pick between our 9th and 24th pick.  Minny at 13 and Utah at 23.  Both teams give us potential sign and trade options: Minny with Love, and Utah with Heyward.  For love we'd have to give up both picks and probably MKG and Zeller (which I'm ok with), and for Heyward we're looking at giving up the 9th, MKG, and Hendo (I'm also ok with).  

 

The only scenario that I could see us trading up is if Marcus Smart falls to the 7th pick then we'd probably have the firepower to trade up two spots with the 9th and 24th and maybe Hendo.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
