Khalil Mack


stirs

Recommended Posts

After his pro day, I have a sneaking suspicion that he is going to mess up everyone's top 5 picks.

 

Guy is a freak, great pass rusher, tough, etc.

 

In my opinion, he will sneak into the top 5 and a team formerly thought to take a QB, will nab this guy.  Not totally out of the realm of possibility that he goes first, but I think the real watch starts at 2.

I thought he was going top5 all along.

 

 

 

The guy that people are ignoring who could mess the whole draft up is "Derek Carr"! More and more teams are coming out saying they preferred Carr over Manziel. Smokescreen, maybe/maybe not. Still, Carr had a solid senior bowl performance that helped solidify him as a top QB in this year draft. People want to mock Bortles to Houston, but I believe that Carr makes better sense with O'Brien.

 

People are too afraid to imagine another Carr QB in Houston, but he's a better QB than his brother. If Carr goes no.1 in May it's going to be an interesting draft.

We most likely will have to face one of Mack/Barr next year vs ATL/TB. Won't be fun. I honestly don't know too much about Mack except that he is supposed to be a freak athlete.  My impression is that he is a more refined/less raw player than Barr.  I'd find it hard to believe he's a better pass rusher than Barr though.  Barr had .5 less sacks being double teamed constantly against legitimate opponents.  You can't go wrong with either though. I've seen Barr fall to as low a 20 because of Mack which seems absurd they are both going to be studs.

    • It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth 
    • The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on. 
    • Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
