My Draft Objectives

[BritCard]

In some ways, he reminds me of JJ Watt coming out.

I was thinking the same. But I think he's going to be more than a solid player. The more I watch him the more I like what I see.

I feel like you’re only saying this because they’re both Caucasian, lol.

It all boils down to “See dude with ball.” “Tackle dude.”

Most tackles in clutch situations equals top tackler.

Spare me the stats/show me the results.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think he is an unsexy pick that would end up being a solid NFL player.

In some ways, he reminds me of JJ Watt coming out.

I was hoping no one would say that out loud.

I hope we do a couple of trade downs and collect some more picks. It seems like there will be great value until Round 3 so if we can get an extra picks in those rounds we have a better shot at filling more holes.

Guys I like in Round 2 & 3

Sam Williams
Drake Jackson
Alex Wright

Got to admit. Never heard of Ralph Holley.

Don’t worry about it unless your sizing up UDFAs. He‘s from the MAC. I specialized in covering them for a period. He’s a medium size fish in a small pond. He lacks the speed and athleticism to likely become an impact player.

I've been watching more Karlaftis. I was harsh on him and bought into the negativity that he didn't have the speed and was a 3T in the NFL.

I didn't think he could play in a 3-4 but he rushes from a wide standing position a bunch. His testing has been very good. I wouldn't be unhappy at all at #23.

I didn't realize he only just turned 21 today. He's super young. Jermaine Johnson is 23.

He’s definitely a second tier Edge guy. He has enough speed & strength but he is an agility concern. He ducked the 3 cone drill both at the draft and on his Pro Day. One can only assume his agent didn’t like his practice time and instructed him to pass. While not an absolute predictor of success, the drill is a good indicator. I wouldn’t disqualify him based on that but it moves him down my board.

Logan Hall in the third works for me....OG and WR in the 1st and 2nd

Use those 6th red picks on DT's over 335lbs

Get ST players and a kicker in the 7th

Not a crazy idea depending on who’s there at 23.

Not at all. Watt had a similar play style coming out of Wisconsin.

Then pencil him in after we trade up into the 5th

What play-style is that?

Ryan Kerrigan is the comp. (I did not come up with this but agree 100% with it)
