Growl's Senior Bowl South Practice Thread

I say if none of the WRs impress from now up to the draft take Jean Baptiste at the bottom of the 1st. Much as i want a receiver some of these guys have got to show a lil more that there not strictly second day picks. I think Jean Baptist stock is only gonna go up from here.

There is maybe more than one deserving 1st rounder playing this year.

It's a terrible lineup.

I agree for the most part, at least at QB. Outside of 1-3 players it was hard to see any first rounders. Moses was good, disappointed in Henderson. Some of the D stood out. If anything it did help us to evaluate some of the middle rounds, which is still very important.

I was impressed with Jean Baptiste at the Senior Bowl. He played in press with his back to the QB at Nebraska. But at the Senior bowl his best plays were reading the QB's eyes in zone.... something that he didn't do much in college and had three good breaks on the ball. He may be a fit for us schematically at CB.

    • Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.  
    • 1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.  
    • I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.
