Brents visited nearly every NFL team---Not sure about the others.  He is tall-they like that.

 

Yup and it’s easy to see why—not necessarily height but it’s his length and athleticism. His length of crazy even for a 6’3 198 guy.  And when he’s flashed in school, he’s shown elite upside. Hard to pass on that IMO.

He’s easily my fave DB after Banks/Porter.

Ok, read it.  Here is what I know, which is very generic and limited--anxious to read people with more knowledge.

The 3-4 will feature a lot of zone in cover 2 and 4.  I think zone suits Henderson, but Taylor's cushion last year would have been a par 4 on a golf course.

That is all.

 

I foresee Chinn and Rowe eating in this scheme! As to the OP's question, I've been onboard with CB & Edge at 39 and 93 since we traded up.

After Gonzalez & Witherspoon, it's hard to see Banks or Porter falling far. 

So at 39, we're talking:

Kelee Ringo, Julius Brents, Tyrique Stevenson, Cam Smith, DJ Turner

I think Ringo & Brents translate and are my fave candidates.  (Big Brents fan)  Smith & Stevenson may not be as ready, Turner is like Forbes/a bit on the light side so could get pushed around.  

 

Brents and Porter have visited. Porter is my favorite CB , but he likely goes before 39. If he's there...take him! His dad is a perennial probowler and a coach, so his football IQ has to be high, plus he's big and physical, which I like.

They say he should be ready to go by August, but those Achilles injuries take a year to fully recover.

Yea and they still arent like acl tears yet I don't think.  Used to acl tears were bad bad news, now players return pretty much 100% of all their previous physical capabilities.   Im not sure achilles are thar way just yet.  Especially for such an undersized guy whose entire game was based on speed.   CB is definitely high on the list.  Evero's scheme relies on secondary.  Thats where all your money is spent.   The linebackers and dlineman are more plug and play in this system.

The more I read this thread, the more I think, 39 has to be for a CB.  Serviceable edge players could be there at 93.  Do not put it past Fitmagic to move back in round 2 and up in round 3--he is crazy that way.

Nice. I think we have several need positions and I go back and forth over prioritizing them so I hope we stay flexible and take the best available TE, WR, CB, Edge. At least one of those positions will have a first round talent drop to early second. Take that guy.

    • I see they blamed Slavin for the goal like I did. 
    • See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.
    • Svech only 1 goal behind the guy they've pretty much already given the Conn Smythe to...
