This is the best plan. Convince me otherwise

[RIPTreyLance]

I’ve been watching all the prospects and I’m open to a lot of options at 19. Lots of guys that if we chose I wouldn’t be mad. I started watching Emmanuel McNeil Warren yesterday (Toledo Safety) and he’s my undisputed favorite pick right now for us, especially after our free agency pick ups. He just oozes “Panthers” type of energy. Everyone in our locker room would love him. Also has shades of Kam Chancellor / Derwin James. He is 6’4 and runs a sub 4.5 40. Big hitter 
 

what if we took McNeil Warren at 19, and then went with Jacob Rodriguez OR Eli Stowers with our round 2 pick? Eli Stowers is not much different from Kenyon sadiq.

I’m all for going Safety since this draft has some interesting prospects, but I’ve never seen this franchise value the Safety position that high so I’m not holding my breath.

I bet a DT or OL falls. 

Someone good will be passed on. Take them.

I would be all for taking a Safety that high because I believe with an intelligent DC a roaming Safety (whatever name you want to call it) can completely change the ways you can attack and neutralize an Offensive gameplan.  See Nick Emmanwori effects on Seattle back end defense scheme most recently.  

Unfortunately I don't have that much faith with our current defensive coaching staff to get that type of immediate return and effectiveness out of that position and in return wasting that kind of draft capital.  

We wouldn't get the most out of a 1st Rd Safety compared to a OT, IOL, TE, ILB, DL or EDGE with our current coaching staff in my opinion. So i doubt we go this route but I wouldn't hate it.

Anything that takes Nick Scott off the field I am on board with.

That big DT from Ohio State is the way I think we go since Banks is made of tissue paper. This team wants to stop the run first and foremost

True and some blue chipper will fall bc of medical. Happens every year! I have a hunch that Caleb Downs may fall more than ppl think. Too many ppl blew away the combine with 1st round grades.  We could jump on that or definitely  an oline player. 

[Cpt slay a ho]

Yeah I’d like us to invest in a fs for once, it’s worth it, especially with how pass heavy the league is now 

I think our defense is very close to elite, a rangy fs would be the cherry on the top 

[Bear Hands]

You can move him around in some packages where he can play at star while having Ransom back in 2HS. 

He’s somewhere between Pitre and Emmanwori IMO. Could be a pretty solid choice.

I think more people need to watch his tape, dude is an absolute bulldozer in the run game. I genuinely believe drafting Kayden McDonald paired with D Brown and our improved defense that we would have the best run defense in the league.

[Chief Keek]

If they select a S I like Thieneman out of Oregon.

[csx]

Kayden McDonald looks like a 2nd round trade up possibility.

Yea everyone saying Dan Morgan is doing a great job right now hasn’t taken into account he hasn’t replaced by far the worst starter on the roster yet 

[jtm]

I don’t care what position they draft as long as the pick is a starter and immediate contributor. Good teams always hit on their first two rounds and after that, it’s a crap shoot.
