Top 3 Players For #9 Pick


bLACKpANTHER

Recommended Posts

Yes, we all want Claiborne overall - But of the projected players to still be available at #9, who are your top 3:

2) Quinton Coples

1) Fletcher Cox

Michael Floyd

Stephon Gilmore

3) Dre Kirkpatrick

Luke Kuechly

Dontari Poe

Riley Reiff

Out of those listed...

Luke

Coples

Floyd

Comparable DT can be grabbed in the 2nd to those listed. First 2 are BPA on D.....

1) Coples. I just think a DE is more important the DT at this point... Especially since I think the DT class is so deep...

2) Fletcher Cox. I know I just said DT is deep, but based on need, Coples outdoes him. If someone could prove that he was a safer pick, I might go with him at 1.

3) It's so open.... Floyd or Kirkpatrick would probably be my choice, despite the Kirkpatrick pick being a slight reach by 5 picks. But when you like someone, you go get em. I also know Floyd seems like a "luxury pick", but he would possibly be the most talented left.

    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
    • Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off. 
    • Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
