Draft rounds 2 and 3

I absolutely Love Delpit. Yes he had a lot of missed tackles this year but last year he was an absolute tackling machine. He also plays the ball in the air incredibly well and is a great "center fielder"

The Gipper

Next pick for the Browns is number 74

Makes the trade back make more sense. They clearly liked Delpit more than Winfield, and the latter was ranked higher.

Very good depth this year in this draft

I'd say Woods likes the length tangibles of Delpit over Winfield..am not surprised with the Delpit pick..football car crashes cause injuries..come ready to tackle woods school of tackling

Well... at least we filled that Round 5 hole...

High ankle sprain all year- I wonder if the tackling issues existed in 18

Thought he looked weak but it maybe his height. He’s got speed but see him more as a DB and less of a safety. To me the opposite of Peppers

To me he is the essential "not a liability but not a home run hitter".

He's consistent and not really 'stand out'. Tackles well enough, but sometimes takes wonky angles. He understands and processes what's in front of him, but that split second which makes the difference between good play and great play isn't always there. Like I said, it's a fine line between love and hate. I'm neutral on this pick and willing to see what happens.

The eye discipline is there, the physical traits are there. It's up to him to improve the mental and polish the footwork.

edit: There was a play, I think vs Bama, when I watched him earlier that I LOVED his pre-snap recognition. I'll try to find it again.

Not most of the places I saw Delpit was rated the first rounder Winfield a second rounder. Delpit dropped a lot

The Gipper

Sperm suckers are on the clock. Wonder what they’re going to take. Probably another linebacker

Mine. He was a 1st rounder this time last year. He dropped a bit. No issue with it, but needs to round back into 2018 form.

Most ranking services I saw

Pitts puke takes chase Claypool wide receiver Notre Dame. Trying to replace Antonio Brown. He’s actually more of a tight end body type

Dutch Oven

Steelers got them a big ol' boy at WR. Glad Ward, Williams and Delpit all have some length.

SdBacker80

Clay pool don’t like him and he’s a notre dame guy. Perfect.

i thought for sure it was Baun - reeks of Steeler or type of guy that they draft

Oh lord you are right about Baun and the Steelers.

Would have preferred Winfield but we'll see what happens

And the Dead Dad Draft Marches on.

Hmmm... Jalen Hurts to Philadelphia
