I can't understand the Richardson hate. Are you just nervous because of past DTs busting? He is a great talent, and I think he'll do well in the league.

I dont like him because he gets shoved around way too easily. He would get gashed in the run. He looks more like a pass rushing 3-4 DE to me.

He's going to get pushed around in the NFL unless he adds weight... I want us to take a DT in the first or second but I want one that won't get ran over

In addition to the fact that Richardson is ancient by college prospect standards, there isn't a lot about his game, at his build, that looks like it will result in him being a good NFL DT. I know the media likes to project him to us in their mocks so they can save their more glorified prospects for their beloved NFC east teams and such, but I really don't think he's the pick. We've shown zero interest in him or any other DT prospect and Rivera has been relatively easy enough to read in his time here.

Wouldn't touch Floyd either.

Wouldnt touch Floyd? Can I ask why? He is a very good person, he is able to penetrate constantly. He would be a great 3tech and he really reminds me a lot of Jenkins without the baggage

That said if he was there at 14 I would take him, But what I really want is a trade down and Jesse Williams or John Jenkins. I value that 1 tech more

Why would I care what kind of person he is? Were drafting football players not lining them up for mystery dates. I don't care if he has some ridiculous story of triumph if he can't play.

I wouldn't touch Floyd because he's Richardson without as much burst, refinement, or even as much production.

In the 1st rd you dont want to take a player that has many red flags as far as drugs, work ethic, injury issues. Save those risks for late rd projects and fliers

He has proven to pass all of those and be a better penetrating DT than any other player. He was my favorite player at the DT position then everyone else fell in love with him over his workouts which pushed him too high for the Panthers. He has shown that he has the desire to play and works hard, he is very family oriented showing his character. All these things are just as important whether you think it or not.

Tell me film where he is being pushed around? He is constantly in backfield for much of the film I have studied, watch the Louisville game where he dominated all night. Just because you like another prospect better is no reason to bash Star or Floyd which are the best 2 prospects at DT

      Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?

      Rookie PFF Grades

      By t96 · Posted

      Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find

      Hoping someone tells us Bussi was in the starter's crease for the morning skate. Otherwise, place your 1st shot- 1st goal bets! Any closer to a deal that could land a 2C in Trocheck or Brayden Schenn? Or land a winger in Alex Tuch or reach for Jordan Kyrou?
