Which one player would improve this team's win total the most? We only get one, on the top half of this list.

https://theathletic.com/1758405/202...l-draft-prospects/?source=user-shared-article

Consensus of all the viable draft sites (where prospects will be picked) and pro evaluators draft grades. There is a formula they are using.



Take your pick:

Dane Bruger (final rankings) - Athletic:

5. Jedrick Wills Jr., OT, Alabama (6-4, 312)
A fired-up competitor, Wills looks like a man among boys as a run blocker, driving defenders off the ball and never passing on an opportunity to bury. He needs continued growth as a technician, but he has steadily developed in pass protection, gaining proper depth in his kickslide with fluid steps. Overall, Wills is a balanced, light-footed big man with the explosive power, aggressive mentality and budding confidence that should translate very well to the NFL level, projecting as a long-term NFL starter with All-Pro upside.

6. Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama (6-0, 217)
Tagovailoa owns phenomenal character (Saban: “Tua has probably had as much of an impact on our program as any player we have ever had”) and is an advanced passer for his age, showing the ability to hold post safeties and manipulate coverages. He is twitchy in his delivery and plays confident outside of structure, but those extended plays are also what leads to hits on his body and durability questions. While he benefited from an elite supporting cast, he does a great job taking what the defense gives him and spreading the wealth. Overall, Tagovailoa has obvious reliability concerns and the medical feedback must come back clean, but his passing instincts to read, process and fire are outstanding, projecting as an NFL starter who might require a partial redshirt as his hip returns to full health.

7. Derrick Brown, DL, Auburn (6-5, 326)
Brown is the rare example of a 300-plus-pound lineman who is explosive in his upper and lower bodies, firing off the ball and dictating the point of attack. A naturally powerful human, he is comfortable as a two-gapper, standing up blocks, locking out and finding the football. Overall, Brown displays the explosive strength to be a scheme-diverse NFL run defender with the athletic traits and motor to continue and grow as a pass rusher, projecting as a Pro Bowl level player anywhere from the zero to five-technique positions.

8. Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa (6-5, 320)
A natural athlete, Wirfs’ background in track (explosiveness) and wrestling (body control) have translated to his football skills, including the importance of training and preparation. While he is still refining his fundamentals, his ability to reset is impressive, rarely losing his center. Overall, Wirfs’ lack of ideal length will push him to guard on some boards, but his big-man twitch, developed power and tendency to always default to his balance are an impressive combination, projecting as a starting tackle or guard in the NFL.

9. CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma (6-2, 196)
Lamb has quick hands and feet to give defenders the slip before and after the catch, showcasing the football IQ and athleticism that allows him to find open space downfield. There is a backyard football element to his game and added refinement is needed, but his natural feel for creating after the catch is what he does best, showing multiple gears, vision and toughness to force missed tackles. Overall, Lamb is a balanced athlete with the body fluidity of a much small player and the ball skills and competitive nature of a much bigger player, projecting as a high-ceiling NFL starter due to his playmaking instincts.

10. Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama (6-1, 193)
Jeudy can run every route in the playbook and is a very quarterback-friendly target with his ability to separate, making sharp, collected cuts at full speed that defenders can’t match. Everything he does is quick, including his ability to snare-and-secure throws, but focus drops plagued his tape, especially over the middle. Overall, Jeudy doesn’t have the ideal body type or play strength, but his combination of play speed, brake-and-balance skills and route savvy allow him to uncover anywhere he wants on the field, projecting as an impact NFL receiving target.

 

[Proximo]

Whose consensus?

Anyway, I'd switch Thomas and Wirfs, and move Becton lower.

Which one player would improve this team's win total the most? We only get one, on the top half of this list.

Probably Chase Young.

But I think a close second would be Simmons.

 

[BurqueCardFan]

Wills is the only one I can't see being ranked where he is. There's just something about Alabama OLinemen that I can't trust. Over the last decade, who is the last legit OL player to come out of that program that would warrant a top 10 pick. I just think all 4 of the OL prospects this year are interchangeable to an extent. If we want one, move down. Otherwise, go BPA at #8

I don't believe we will go OL in the 1st. With the signing of Gilbert and Murray having some decent success we should be good there this season. They've been interested in, 135. Jack Driscoll Auburn OT 14
as a possibility maybe around their later 4th round pick. Or someone like Niang if he falls to 72, he'd be a nice get there.

67 Prince Tega Wanogho Auburn OT 9
68 Bryce Hall Virginia CB 10
69 Lucas Niang TCU OT 10

 

[AZCrazy]

there's a lot more later talent at WR than there is on the OL.

I won't cry if we get Lamb, Jeudy, or Ruggs. But it's too much draft capital in the last three years spent on one small position group the the detriment of all the other rooms. There are good receivers in every draft, later in this draft, and available as FA's. We have a solid room now.

The last really good DL this team drafted was Calais. The last really good OL was before many of you were born. Protect the investment. Take an OT unless one of the defenders drops.

only USC, Notre Dame, and Texas A+M have had two top ten tackles get drafted since 2010.

ETA: Ryan Kelly was drafted in 2016. He made the pro bowl last year.

Short term, I'd argue Brown. Long term, I'd argue Wirfs/Wills. Somewhere in the middle of those groups, I see Simmons and Okudah.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

If you care about school-position type stuff, you should be all over Jeudy and Ruggs. Cooper/Julio/Ridley since 2011. Three studs and zero busts for Bama 1st rd WR.

This isn't arguing for the sake of arguing, but is Ridley really a stud? Outside of TD production, Christian Kirk isn't that far behind, with a much less stable QB situation, and four less games.

I do fully expect Ridley to break out though.

Ridley is certainly nowhere near a bust where he went (#26), and the discussion was about school-position combos and being safe. Bama WR is about as good as it gets.

Ridley is a good deal better than Kirk. The objective stats as well as his much higher PFF rating indicate as much.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Ridley wasn’t as good a prospect as either Ruggs or Jeudy, either.

Reread your post then... you included Ridley in "three studs." He has a great QB, another WR & TE (two WRs as a rookie) drawing all of the coverage, and he's no stud yet.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Ridley had 9.3 ypt last year. That’s studly for a 2nd year WR. The only WR on the AFC pro bowl team that bested that was Tyreek (9.7).

why are you arguing against the wind?

 

[bennyperrin23]

Juedy is a stud and will be picked in the top 14. Anyone named Jerry juedy is a stud!

 

[bennyperrin23]

How many times I have said juedy! For a td

 

[bennyperrin23]

I would be very happy with Jerry juedy!

 

[bennyperrin23]

It’s called baller!

 

[WildBB]

It’s called baller!

We got it u want Jeudy.

 

[cardncubfan]

We got it u want Jeudy.

No he wants Juedy.
