Love this time of year. 

 

Round 1: OT DJ Humphries Florida

One of the more nimble athletic T's in the draft. Not polished yet, but has a alot of upside. 

 

Round 2: WR Nelson Agholor University of Southern California

Would be a nice addition and make for a nice young nucleus of WR's. 

 

 

Round 3: S Anthony Harris Virginia

This guy is a ball hack. Led the NCAA two years ago in picks. 

 

 

Round 4: OT Lawrence Gibson Virgina Tech

Double dip.

That's nice and all but DJ is a 2-3 round prospect. Drafting him 25th overall would be reaching.

 

You even keep up with draft news and rumblings?

 

Lol at DJ being a 2-3 round prospect. He is widely regarded as one of the few true LT prospects in the draft. 

 

He is probably be gone by the time we pick in the 1st.

What makes him a 2-3 round prospect? Because you say he is? Every single guy paid to evaluate these kids has him going in the first round. He may have started as a 2-3 guy very early in the process, but he's shot up draft boards every since and had a very good combine performance. He isn't a finished and needs to be coached up, but the same can be said for every prospect there at 25. Humphries is on my list of 5 players I'd be ecstatic to select in the first.

Yeah, um, no.

DJ is a raw, unfinished prospect who has been injury-prone the last two years.

Rumblings are just that.

You know how many raw players get drafted in the first every year? Every college prospect is unfinished to one extent or another. He's more inconsistent than anything but his natural ability make him a first round talent. So, tell me, who is there at 25 that is a finished product, is polished, and is a first round prospect?

I could see Humphries if he falls to 25.  Lots of people calling that a natural fit since he's a hometown player.  Might not be there at 25 though.  One player I think a lot of people are overlooking in the 2nd is LB Eric Kendricks.  The Panthers shocked everyone by taking DE Kony Ealy in the 2nd round last year after despite having no need at the position at the time.  Now the move looks brilliant with Hardy out the door.  Thomas Davis won't be around too much longer and grabbing the promising Kendricks would be a solid move in the 2nd.

Cue the "game is not played in underwear" soundbite.

I've seen nothing that suddenly indicates Humphries as a first round selection outside his combine performance. Prior to his workouts, DJ was viewed as a second day prospect. Sorry but I'm not a prisoner of the moment.

Then you haven't watched him very closely. Every flaw in his game is coachable. He has a high motor, plays nasty and through the whistle, possesses elite athleticism for the position, and flashed some dominance in his play. Like I said, consistency is his biggest knock and that comes from inconsistent technique.

Let's hear your selection at 25 that's free of any holes in his game.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along.  Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.

      Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.

      One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers.  There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride.  Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game.  I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams.  If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move.  I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.
