No matter what we go in the 1st round edge rusher or OT .. Marty better plan to get his starting free safety in the 2nd round.. That's where the run is going to come from.  Between Savage, Abram, Nasir, Thornhill, Thompson and Rapp.. You can get a starter and not pray they fall to the 3rd round .. Or get a teir lower than them and pray he beats out the crap on the roster.. With the word of Galuden switch .. I can't see how they aren't targeting the top FS talent in this draft...

Agreed. I'm not sure there will be a safety taken in the 1st but there will probably be a bunch go in the 2nd and 3rd. There will be some good options available at #47. There may or may not be at #77.

Ageee I think you get a day 1 starter at 47.. Your gambling at 77..jmo

Is Rapp still a second round prospect after his showing? Better yet is he even a option for our team? I dont think we can afford another slow guy back there with rapp being most likely to play SS or in the box. I think that has Reid all over it, we need a rangey Centerfielder type ball hawk. savage,Nasir, Thornhill are My top choices here and I agree it almost has to be safety here.

Been saying this.  With the QBs and edge rusher in the 1st.  And even a potential to have 3+ WRs in the 1st which is more than normal.  

Combined with this years Elite Safety FA class where many teams with glaring holes there filled them (and remember teams usually use FA to set up their draft)

There is going to be some really really good FS guys for us in the 2nd

I was talking to another Huddler about this over the weekend, with Reids extension IMO Rapps skill set should be off our broad. 

I know we had him in a few days ago but a Rapp/Reid safety tandem is gonna get abused in the passing game. 

I think the safety pick kinda has to be Savage/Thornhill since Adderley will be gone

SAVAGE

JR

A edge rusher like Sweat or Burns in the 1st

And

Savage, Adderly, or Thornhill in the 2nd

 

Our defense will be back on track and cooking.  Back to what we were when we won the division 3 consecutive seasons

Seems it depends on who is there and their ultimate value.  With quarterback and FS both projected as high as our second pick I suspect if both guys we want are there we will go QB first if there are questions about Cam. If we go FS it should suggest backup QB isn't a huge need.

I know right,... what a waste

I’ll believe it when I see it...I listened to Smiths interview all he said was we were taking a Qb...people trying to predict how high is pure speculation. It’d seem to me that we’ve met with several guys in the Grier/northwestern/auburn QBs tier so they don’t have to reach on one. We’ve met with like every 2nd rd safety and oline/dline prospect ha so that’s an indicator to me of where they want to go

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
