2016 Draft Game .....First Go
-
I'd venture to say that Myles Jack and Joey Bosa would likely be top ten prospects in the next two drafts, so it's essentially a wash. And are you implying that every pick outside of the first round is "jack shit"?
Obviously you have not watched Jack's tapes yet.

Obviously you have not watched Jack's tapes yet.

Why do you say that? I've watched a decent amount of tape on him - as much as on Bosa and other non-QB players. I don't see anything wrong with him, aside from his injury.
Admittedly, I don't pay as much attention to OLB/DE as I do QB...but Jack checked all the boxes for me. Smart, instinctual, athletic, meets the runningback in the hole (a huge plus in my book), solid first step, takes good open field angles, doesn't get caught handfighting, leverages his lower body strength.
Granted, he's a little undersized for the 3-4, but I think he'd be a great rush LB and an instant improvement over anyone on our roster.

Sorry, but we were discussing Jack Shit.

Combined bigger than I expected.
Agree he's be an upgrade and an instant 3-down OLB, but I don't see an impact player. His edge rush from tape I've seen just isn't there... not as a steady diet anyway. More of an "element of surprise" rusher...
Might end up at ILB... at least in dime packages. The kid can cover... and is great in space.

Round 6 Pick 1: LaQuan McGowan, OG, Baylor (F)
Round 7 Pick 2: De'Runnya Wilson, WR, Mississippi State (A+)
I call this the trade down fest.
That would give us, in my opinion, two starting ILB's in Matakevich and Wright, two starting OLB's in Smith and Spence, a starting DE in Dodd, a starting QB in Wentz, a starting RB in Henry, a starting RT in Haeg, a starting #2 WR in Thomas, a receiving TE in Higbee, a big-bodied but shifty slot in Peake, a special teamer/rotational OLB in Cowser, a rotational DT in Ionnidis, and a redzone WR threat in Wilson.
And then a giant of a man in McGowan, just because I wanted to see how he'd fit in an NFL jersey. I bet they'd have to rip the sides.

2017 Round 1 Pick
2018 Round 1 PickThis is my "no-trade, take what's there" draft...and I would personally be ecstatic with it.
By my evaluations, each one of these players could be a starter for us by the end of, say, year two...with the one exception being Ridgeway. And, of course, the WR's can't ALL start, but I think Peake, Robinson and Wilson could each separately be a #2 for us. And...if Gordon ends up failing out, either Peake or Robinson have the tools to be a #1.
-
Personally I'd fire you as my GM...

- Wrong QB
- Jaylon Smith definitely is a two-year plan kinda pick. Personally I'm very wary of him at #32.
- Whitehair is not a power run game OG.
- Not feeling Tyler M as my bargain LB...
Has any player fallen farther thru the 2.5 months this thread has been open than De'Runnya Wilson???

It's a good thing you're not in charge, then.
There is no "wrong QB", as hard as your boner has grown for Goff recently. Both are equally talented, both are equally cerebral.
Shying away from Jaylon Smith because he's not an immediate starter is ridiculous, IMO. He's a top 5 pick without the injury, and he'll come back from it just fine.
Whitehair was a value pick and his intangibles outweigh his (perceived) lack of ability as a power run blocker. And I'm not considering him for guard, I'm considering him for center
. Smart, team captain, four year starter, shorter arms, strong grip, tremendous body control, understands the geometry of the position- he's a prototypical center. Give him a year of lower body NFL conditioning and put his hand in the dirt more than 5 plays a game and he'll be just fine. Matakevich fits the mold of what I like in players - intelligent both on and off the field and relentless in their effort. He's a Luke Kuechly in everything except athletic talent. To me, it's worth seeing if he could overcome the skill deficit, because he's a very smart, instinctual player. At the very least, as a rotational ILB, we won't be losing any battles by him being out of place.

Not doubting the talent that was there. And maybe he makes a full recovery to fulfill his promise, but nerve damage can end a player's career.
He may never play again, let alone start. And if he plays, he may not be the same player. Those are the possibilities I shy away from, not time.
-
I'm with Tour on this. Nerve damage is not something that regenerates or can be grafted. If it's severe nerve damage then he will never play the game again.
