Players you are really high on


JJman

Recommended Posts

Just to take my mind off the puzzle of Gettleman's infamous plan, what players are you high on? Who do you really like that others might not be paying attention too? Sleepers, late rounders, anyone really. For me, it's

- Chris Borland, LB from Wisconsin

- Josh Huff, WR from Oregon

- Jackson Jeffcoat, DE from Texas

- Connor Shaw, QB from South Carolina

- Colt Lyerla, TE from Oregon

- Martavis Bryant, WR Clemson

Deone Bucannon, S, Washington State

 

Here is a good article on him (Eagles blogger).

 

Tidbits from the write-up:

 

 

 

Deone Bucannon fits these trends, running an official 4.49 40-yard dash, tied for third best amongst safeties and faster than Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Calvin Pryor and Dion Bailey. Bucannon racked up 19 reps on the bench press (third best), a 36.5-inch vertical jump (third best), 125 inches on the broad jump (second best), 6.96 seconds on the three cone (third). And he did all this as the fifth tallest safety, fourth heaviest safety and had the second longest arms of all safeties. He’s clearly a very athletic player, especially for a player of his size. Physically, Deone Bucannon profiles very similarly to San Francisco 49ers rookie Pro Bowl safety, Eric Reid.

I'm only high on Beckham Jr as a solid, NFL-ready, prototypical #2 receiver. Besides Sammy Watkins, I think ODB is the most ready to produce from day one. He's also a return specialist which fits a need for us. It's tough because we still need a #1 receiver and at our pick, Matthews and Benjamin may be the only true #1's that I see with the ability to become elite in their first rookie contract.

Of those two, I feel Benjamin has the higher ceiling but also as the biggest project of those two.

It's a quandary, do we go with the guy that is NFL ready but won't see be a number one receiver or do we go with potential to be a bigger impact player down the road in hopes that finding a #2 and return specialist later in the draft or in FA.

I do like Beckam in that regards and think we should draft him if he drops to us because otherwise, we would have to use an additional draft pick on a returner who would be less explosive than what we could get from ODB.

In the late second, Mewhort, Moncrief, JJames and Maybe Allen Robinson could be still on the board. Mewhort would be my pick because he is the most versatile lineman and could start from day 1...and we have to get at least one OL starter

In round 3 in hopes that Brandon Coleman or Keith McGill would be available.

In the fourth, I go with BPA out of all positions other than QB. I think that in the fourth round we will find our best value. Whether it fills a need or not, this is where I see us getting a player who will develop into a pro bowl caliber player that will eventually take the place of one of our aging core players.

Round 5 I like Jared Abbrederis WR or EJ Gaines CB. Depth at these positions with an outside chance at starting make both of these players a good value with a lot of long-term upside.

Round 6 I'm going best OL available between James Hurst, Cameron Fleming, Trai Turner and Cyril Robinson. Any I these guys have the potential to compete for a starting spot right away and could turn out to be some of the better linemen in the draft when all is said and done and these guys get developed for the NFL. I'm pretty confident that one of these guys will still be on the board and I'm taking if they are.

We have two picks in round 7 and if we didn't get that return guy in ODB with our first, I'm drafting bet playmakers available. The guy with great combine and pro day measurements and physical specimen that fell because of teams needs not being in demand or because they look too much like projects in the earlier rounds. We have our backup QB so no need to take one just because he might be BPA. Michael Campanaro WR, *Max Bullough ILB, Tre Boston S, De'anthony Thomas RB, Aaron Lynch DE, James Wilder RB, Carrington Bendom CB. Bullough and Thomas being my favorites.

    • This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.  
    • I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it. 
    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
