General Friday Draft Discussion - Rounds 2-3

Our secondary will limit the opponents if they can be kept fresh, so get me best available big nasty oline and/or te with the next two or three picks to keep our offense on the field.

Will also help us to see if Sam is the real deal so we know what to do at QB next year.

I would love a future left tackle pick here if we can find someone who can lock down the position and be our guy for years to come.  LT and shutdown corner in the first 2 rounds? What a huge draft this could be if we take care of 2 huge nagging issues in the first 2 rounds.

God Please NO! ...

Every Safety is in Play, All the TE's except for Pitts in play, and several decent LT's. I like Eichenberg, Jenkins, and Radunz. Cosmi I'm not thrilled about but I'd rather have him than Mond!

I don't think there are many elite LT's waiting. But I am okay with a LT that ends up being a very good OG. 

Hell, I'm happy with an NFL caliber OL at this point.

Nope.  All of the remaining ones have major concerns.   I hope we just throw a ton of darts and hope one hits.   I just dont understand this team sometimes.

There are some good IOL prospects available. I don't expect us to go OL in the 2nd, however.

Teven Jenkins.  I know his pass pro. isn't quite on the level as his run blocking, but oooeee, he is a road-grading mauler that plays with a mean streak in the run game. I know that might "sound" like a RT and not a LT, but I don't think he's incapable of playing on the left. Also, he's got to be better than who we have currently over there.  Obviously it would be nice for the team to give Moton a shot over at LT, where many feel he could also thrive.  But I don't think the Moton or the team have interest in screwing up a good thing, and he'll stay over on the right and continue to lock it down.  

Also, having Jenkins is insurance in case they can't reach an extension agreement with Moton.  If Moton leaves and Jenkins is better suited to RT, we can slide him over.

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
