Draft Talk

Trubisky is Mcshays and Kipers #1 qb currently
Watson's value has pretty much been killed by RG3 to be fair RG3 has set back most "Athletic" QB's for years after his draft.
I think we should take Mitch Aslong as he continues to show himself as a the top QB Available. But we wont do that. We'll trade down a little bit take a highly rated DE and then Watson and then hopefully a linemen -

Not true in the least.

Similar is the operative word...
There has always been a place in the NFL for the slightly undersized, quick, strong DT... especially lined up next to an anchorsaurus.

PFF has us taking Mason Rudolph from Oklahoma State with our second pick in the first. First pick? Allen, Alabama.. can't disagree.
My problem with Rudolph? We already took a guy from oklahoma state with our second pick in the first. Yep, Brandon Weeden. And I think we know how that turned out. Also, Rudolph hasn't declared yet for the draft, so there's that little detail.
Nope, I'm shutting down this Rudolph talk right now. I need him, and Washington, back in Stillwater to make our run next year.PFF has us taking Mason Rudolph from Oklahoma State with our second pick in the first. First pick? Allen, Alabama.. can't disagree.

Since you guys are obviously dying for a poke, check out Chris Carson. He'd be a late round flier but the dude breaks tackles and always seems to get stronger as the game wears on.
Edit: In the interest of not being a total homer, I'm not positive Carson knows how to catch, especially today, so he probably won't be a three down back.

I still remember Bill Belichick thinking and saying he likes to prioritize the middle of his defense when he selected Eric Turner at #2 overall. That idea produced so many fond memories to follow such as shutting out NE's go-to guy Ben Coates in the playoffs the day we won our last playoff game. I've seen other defenses draft Safeties in the first round like Earl Thomas, Eric Berry, Sean Taylor, Pollyneedsahaircut and Ed Reed which never made me question the wisdom.
If Garrett is a sure thing off the edge and he's relentless - getting him at #1 and then landing Malik Hooker with our other first round pick would be a great start in 2017.

Garrett with 4.5 sacks today against UTSA and says he is almost back to form, not as painful as it has been most of the season.

well put logic

How many hands do you need to count the number of 4.5 sack days in college football this season? 1?

"College football" is the key phrase there....
Only 13?
At least we can agree that Texas losing to Kansas is fucking hilarious.

He got more than half of his total sacks for this year against a punching bag. If he shows out well against LSU then I will gladly apologize for understating the importance of the big game against a C-USA opponent.

Classic stuff! Can you imagine if his last name was Bosa and he was wearing a Buckeyes uniform? Fruit of the Loom would give him his own air tight underwear line...

Didn't you love him laying out Gronk with that clean shoulder to sternum hit?
Every once in a while we do get to see a glimpse of the game we love...

- Two top national scouts from NFC teams said that Hooker's skill set is the best they've seen from a safety since Eric Berry. They like Hooker more than Jamal Adams, Jabrill Peppers or Marcus Maye. One scout said, in his opinion, Hooker could end up being an elite safety prospect comparable to Berry or the late Sean Taylor. Many in the scouting community feel that Taylor was the best of the best in terms of safety prospects this century. Both of these scouts believe that Hooker is a future top-10 pick.
Some other team sources said they have been impressed by Hooker, but at this point, think he would be rated behind Adams and Peppers for them. Numerous team sources believe that Hooker is going to end up being their top-rated safety for the 2017 NFL Draft.
That'a about Malik Hooker, obviously, a lot of us have watched him a lot. The First 2 or 3 may very well go in the first round. Malik and Jamal
are, imho, a lcok to be a pick of the Browns ini the first. Jamal was team captain, so I dont "worry" about the general character thing with
LSU players. If the Browns second pick goes later, both could be gone by the Browns second pick. Seems that these top two are in a
"very best of safeties class", and it drops from there.
The Browns will pick a safety with one of their two picks. I hope I can make a bet with Mr. Hoorta on it, so I can get my dollar I owe him off the books.
I'll even bet Flugels a $1.50 just for more fun.
Then there is Jamal Adams, LSU...

Spent many, not all, but many, snaps focused on Elfein yesterday because of the buzz here about him.
The good:
- at 6'3 and 300 kid looks to have an exceptionally strong core;
- clean snapper and gets off quickly with pop and great leg drive;
- takes great angles, many of which were begged to be taken by MSU's 4-man look, many of which were set up by initial double-team;
- moves well, if a bit choppy, so is capable of pulling and turning corner;
- alert and quick to react in PassPro with his feet;
- polished posture with nice knee-bend and "seat"; and
- can anchor even if initially knocked back a yard... or two.
The other:
- blocks old school vs. DTs, i.e., with shoulders and forearms, depending on drive for "control";
- uses hands on 2nd and 3rd level D, mostly keeping them inside, but not always (called for one hold IIRC).
Summary:
Very good prospect... maybe even great. To elevate conclusively I need to see:
- Response to bigger, stronger NT/DT playing heads-up on him making him find/create angles;
- Response to above who can hand fight and/or swim his old school efforts, i.e., does he have the upper body/hands to fight back?;
- Results when pulls to trap and not turn up field; and
- Ability to chip DT to aid OG before releasing to 2nd level.
I look forward to more tape time.

Good stuff - do you think he's a second rounder? or late first?

Thanks, cal... and Yes?
Really just need to see if he can do the things the MSU games left unanswered. If he can, and it's just a matter of repetition ingraining them, then it falls to who else is out there... wherever they are playing on the OL.
I think it was 2 or 3 OTs, mostly LTs, that came out the last couple years and blew their teams away at Center. Mitch Morse, class of '15, springs to mind. KC took him in R2 and he's started every game at Center... and at 6'6... so tall Centers can make it.
