Joe Person Says "draft Is Shaping Up" (Lol)


top dawg

Recommended Posts

The top five suspects, in no particular order, are Fletcher Cox, Quinton Coples, Melvin Ingram, Kendall Wright, and (OMFG) Luke Kuechly.

Forget about Morris Claiborne and Justin Blackmon because they'll be off the board.

But, we could also maybe get Michael Brockers, Dontari Poe (Mel Kipers, guess), Michael Floyd, Stephon Gilmore (a possible reach), or David Decastro (If we trade down).

Now before you guys say something sarcastic, remember that Person is writing for the general populace.

It would appear that as the an inferior site suggested, WR is not necessarily taking a backseat to DT and LB in the minds of the FO. Basically, it looks like the wait-and-see, open-minded approach that has become characteristic of Marty Hurney's tenure. It's just that now we have Ron Rivera throwing in a little bit of creativity. Can't wait to see what happens.

I thought Hurney said he wanted a safe pick?? Since when is receiver a safe pick in the first round for us?? We have taken 1 in our history, Rae Carruth.

Just sayin....................

Since when have we already had a great Qb to get them the ball along with a top ranked dynamic offense?? Just throwing that out there.

Since we drafted Cam Newton?

I thought the point of having a great quarterback was so they could elevate everyone around them and make average receivers good and good receivers great. If Newton is all that he should be like Brees or Brady who can make low round draft picks into pro-bowl players. Any quarterback can do well with a top 10 wide receiver. Great quarterbacks take the Welkers who was undrafted or the Colstons drafted in the seventh and make them look great. Smith was a third rounder. Seems to me that wide receiver is definitely one of the spots where there is more value in later rounds than there is in the first.

    • I'm not too familiar with Chenal so this might be a lazy question..... Would a Chenal signing be any similar to us giving Turk a big contract? An under appreciated fringe starter in KC that teammates and front offices love and envision them taking off in a new city.
    • I LOOOOVED Nick Emmanwori in last year's draft and seeing him thrive and become an instant leader of Seattle's defense this year makes me want a similar rookie beside Moehrig.  In scanning this year's draft, I came across Zakee Wheatley from PSU. Not exactly the same build, but Senior Bowl measurements have him at a hair under 6'3" & 200lbs and runs a 4.4. His acceleration, ability to span the field and be a true center field coverage safety would allow Moehrig to float more near the LOS and play to his strengths with a worthy compliment. Wheatley is a modern day lengthy SAF and he excels in zone coverage, isn't afraid to get dirty in the run game and has a nose for the ball.  We play such a soft cover-3 scheme that having someone with speed to roam would be great. I'd especially like to see us roll Ransom out there with these two as well with Horn/Jackson to secure that backend for us. Looking like a R2 pick as of now with some saying early third. If he truly is an athletic specimen that his numbers show, I assume he will only climb higher after the combine.  https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25250463-nfl-draft-2026-scouting-report-penn-state-s-zakee-wheatley Will defnitely look to see how he does at the Sr. Bowl this weekend and in Indy next month.
    • Yeah, I can see that too. Sticky, reliable hands that does not drop a lot of balls and runs the whole route tree.
