Who is the top non-QB prospect?
-
Fitzpatrick or James for us
-
Derwin James is probably the best physical prospect. He's an absolute physical monster.
-
I have seen way less tape than many people around, but if it's between a FS/SS similar to Peppers and a good CB who can also play as safety, I'd go that way.
I think Peppers has underperformed because the secondary is the worst part of our defense and he's played out of position.
There's no RB or WR that stands out as great as other years' first rounders.
-
For me, to date - Chubb.
-
Depends on wut we do in FA. Lets say Dorsey gets us ansah, well that negates the need for chubb. Barkley is obviously the best non qb player but he'll be gone by the texans pick.
I dont think im thinking out of the box here when i say......holy fuk we need a wr. After the qb position its the next most glaring absolute need. We cannot go another year with a roster if gargoyle handed a'ssholes that drop touchdowns. Cant do it. We dont know wtf gordon is gonna do from one month to the next so we have to draft or sign a #1.

The NFL is a passing league. Look at the bottom ten teams ranked against the pass, and then look at their win-loss record. If you can't stop the pass, you don't win...it's THAT simple. Minkah Fitzpatrick is the best non-qb player in this draft because of his versatility. He can play free safety, cornerback, and he's even pretty good at blitzing the QB. He's absolutely perfect for our team, and there's a CHANCE we'll be in position to grab him.
If we can't get Fitzpatrick, the surprise pick for us could be Bradley Chubb. We need pass rushers, and we saw what happened when Ogbah went down. Fans might say we have way too many other holes on the team to worry about "depth", but pass rusher is a premier position of need for almost every team, and Ogbah is a BEAST against the run. Drafting Chubb would give us the flexibility to play Ogbah on first and second down, and then bring in Chubb on 3rd down. That, or we could play Garrett, Chubb, and Ogbah all at the same time and move them around on passing downs. Someone like Gregg Williams would know how to make that work.
Dream draft? It would look something like this! It's obviously MUCH too early to have any real clue about who will be available where, but these are some examples of players I'd like, and more specifically, here are the POSITIONS I want us to look at upgrading. In free agency, I want us to grab a veteran QB (ahem, Alex Smith), a cornerback, a linebacker for depth (who can possibly freaking COVER!), a WR (who doesn't suck or quit...or drop everything), some OL depth, and probably a new kicker. Asking too much? I don't care.
1-A: Josh Rosen (UCLA)
1-B: Minkah Fitzpatrick (Alabama)
2-A: RB Darrius Guice (LSU)
2-B: WR Parris Campbell (Ohio State)
2-C: CB Anthony Averett (Alabama)

I'd take a flyer on later round CB Tony Brown from Bama too. Not as hyped as the other two, but very solid pro player IMO. He's my dark horse defender this year and I'll keep tabs on him wherever he ends up going.

Well....perhaps we will see Peppers playing a different role. With the injury to Kindred, I understand that he may be switching to Strong Safety for the next couple of games. Lets see if he can have some production there......as the way he is being played at FS, ...as my daddy used to say: He is as useless as tits on a boar hog.

Sounds good to me. I like the thought of loading up with defensive backs from big time college teams. God forbid we look at Ohio State.

Drafting parris Campbell that high is pure homerism. His hands alone make him hard to trust as a receiving option.

Listen, if we draft chubb ogbah is "out". He wont beat out nassib for third on the depth chart and williams might decide a smaller speed end like orchard is best to have on the roster than a stiff like ogbah. He's absolutely terrible in edge discipline i dont know why people dont know this yet

so I would think by drafting him that would free up peppers to play up on the los instead of center field ?

Good. Those poor angles won't take themselves.
Switch peppers to SS where he belongs anyway and put Fitzpatrick @ FS.

Why doesn't Joshua Jackson CB out of Iowa get any love? He has great size and a ton of production. With 18 passes defended and 7 interceptions the man deserves some respect.
I see him going in the late 1st or 2nd round in most drafts but I think he's just as good as anyone at the top of the draft. The more I watch him the more I want to take him with our 2nd pick in the first round so we don't risk missing out on him.

Peppers has been playing out of position and out of position. Maybe with a player capable of really being a free safety actually playing it in position instead of left field while allowing Peppers to actually make some tackles, this defense can start to actually be a defense that forces throws into coverage. Of course we also have to add at least one cover corner who doesn't play 10 yards off the receiver.
