I have heard positive things about Billings but I have watched zero tape of the guy.

@tour2ma said:

Interesting you brought that up because the guys on this Dallas sports show this morning indicated that they thought Baylor's Billings was going to be the surprise defensive player coming out of this draft due to his athleticism and his ability to get his pad levels below smaller opponents consistently with a lot of power and leverage.

@gftchris said:

Injury prone. He played at Marshall so I got to watch him a good bit. When healthy, he is a handful to take down. Unfortunately, he is injured a bunch.

One big man I haven't seen mentioned is the Baylor DT, Billings. Ran a 5.05 at 311#...

... and that paled in comparison to Nkemdiche's time. Kid seems tailor made for Jerrah's risk appetite.

Henry seems to be able to... Kid really moves well and has size.

TE class looked pretty weak to me. Still like Vannett as a balanced prospect, but he's not a difference maker.

Looked back at WR'S #'s. At size (6ft to 6' 4") , wgt., arm length, hand size & 40's. Cory Coleman is only 5'11? 194 30" arms, 9 " hands. Got to look more at Cajuste, Core, Louis, Lawler, Payton, Davis & Mitchell. All have arm lengths 32/33" All have hands 10" or more (Lawler A-33" H-10 1/2). I realize it matters what you do with them, put some of these guys will be around 3 thur 7 rounds. (got a TE that can block yet?)

Wisconsin's Schobert really caught my eye in the drills. Smooth movement with excellent transitions/changes of direction. Tape shows a thumper. Adds up to a mid-Day 3 candidate to move inside in our 3-4.

@gumby73 said:

Agree... Lewis, the BDSU underclassman, looked very good. He just might be the Day 2 steal.

However, if we go Goff at #2, I would not be surprised to see us go Lawler late Day 2 and give Jared a familiar target.

@wargograw said:

Yup?

@texasag1969 said:

Possibly - at this stage the agent is probably telling him to wait a week and see what happens.

@gftchris said:

And in a very weak WR draft class he may get bought out from under us.

@gumby73 said:

It also went up with Alshon Jeffrey's tag, meaning Benji is arguably the top (or top two/three) receiver in the FA market this year.

@gumby73 said:

Yes. I'd be in favour of retaining all our starting-ability free agents, that we've drafted and developed, rather than creating holes and losing continuity. If we end up with big OL needs then yes, you need to re-evaluate - probably we lose the WR and roll with Gordon and Benjamin?

@gftchris said:

Pending OL? but really pending how they value a small group of pass rushers left over. (Scooby, Lawson or Calhoun)

DB and DL much deeper. Might make sense (analytically...) to go QB first, then WR, and maybe try to move around a bit and pick up a DL and DB in the third?

@tour2ma said:

Not so fast my friend. Well he was fast but not so great on the broad jump and where are the rest of his numbers? Without data on anything other than those two events, I'd be very hesitant to take him as our 2nd rounder.

Auburn's Johnathan Jones will rise further, though he started much further down as well. So Jackson may go before him, but he'd be one to look at around rounds 3-4. Round 5 if we are really lucky. His stats really jumped out to me.

If he survives to #32, I'd be very tempted, but more likely he'll be gone and help push a DL to us.

• UH's Jackson popped two, unofficial 4.3's...
• Auburn's J. Jones put up a 2nd run 4.33 to back up a first run 4.28...

@gumby73 said:

Correa will be around in, if not thru, Round 3 so you have to consider him. But he is not explosive. He's just more of the same, LB mediocrity we're used to seeing.

@tour2ma said:

If Day can't find a way to glue his helmet to his hair, he'll be out every other play. Just when Ogbah & Shaq Lawson was falling some they played not so fast my friends. Rankins reinforced top 15 & solid. Brns. reported talking w/Correa, your thoughts? Side note-- LB Akron Jatavis Brown matches 40 of D. Lee @4.47 @ Houston Regional 2" smaller & 10lbs lighter. mean anything?
