To add to my reply…. I’m not the biggest fan of Thib, but if it’s between him or any QB because the top 3 OT are gone, I wouldn’t mind him or the safety from ND. 

Sure, I’d rather go offense but this team isn’t 1 or two drafts away. Grab the top talent on the board, fire Rhule next year, and start an actual re-build next year allowing your new coach and staff pick their QB. 

Thats how I think the draft plays out, Thib could be the clear BPA and I already know the topics on page one of the main board will be nothing but bitachin.

If we're not going to get a starting LT, and can't trade down, then I'm totally on board with Hamilton. Pairing him with Chinn would be huge. 

I can not support drafting a safety at 6 overall, that is least valued spot on the 22 man field(minus ST). Much rather have 2nd best DE/LT over the best Safety. Tho I will say this- Id prfer him over any QB in this best pool..... Id even say that last year given Mr. Pro bowler jones.

Honestly, if the top tackles are gone, Willis needs to be the pick.  Bust or not, the upside is beyond anything you get from these other spots.

I just feel like Thidobeaux is a bust waiting to happen. I've got no real justification to back that up; just a gut feeling.

I think he has some elite skills, but if you went in a time machine 5 years from now and told me he was a bust, it wouldn’t shock me. The thought of Thib, Burns, Brown, and Reddick really excites me. I do feel Thibs is a good fit here as well. Thibs is on the smaller size so that worries me, but I was worried about Burns for the same reason.

I think he has elite talent with virtually nonexistent skills. He's getting by on sheer raw physical ability. He's going to have to improve technically in a big way at the NFL level. Total boom/bust pick IMO. I'd bet on bust.

Good analogy and spot on. No way I am taking a chance on this guy. We are at pick 6 and I can easily name more than 6 guys I would draft over him, and that doesn't even include the trade down option.

Take him all day long.

You’re right, that’s what I meant. Elite talent, not skills.

Eerily similar from the same school.

Everett brown and Brian burns went to the dame school. Schools don't determine a players traits and ability.

The traits and rawness are very similar. The same school is coincidental.

At the Combine, in front of all the coaches & execs and media,  he took the microphone and talked extensively about building his "brand". 

He just released some type of cryptocurrency ??         Thibodeaux's cryptocurrency

Was quoted as saying 

"there's nothing (a coach) can tell me that I don't already know"

which shows he may not be very coachable or easy to work with.  

Has had to defend his love of football numerous times to the media.   Which makes me think "where there's smoke, there's fire . . ."

 

Thidobeaux just seems like he wants to be the next Kardashian.  So I have to wonder about his focus and commitment to the NFL.

I read that Philly was looking at him hard.

Perfect trade down for us

If they like Willis then he is the pick he is projecting to go at 9 so why not 6
