Re: 2024 Draft thread
I love watching this dude's film. He's by far my favorite defensive prospect.
The neck thing is somewhat concerning. But I would take that gamble if everything checks out medically with him.
I'd probably lose my **** if he ends up being the pick.

Re: 2024 Draft thread
Corbin says he was told that they're high on Verse. He along with Murphy could be their targets.
Do you have a preference among the two?

For sure... Nwosu was doing great, Mafe set a record... edge isn't a concern of mine. Get some pressure up the middle.

Re: 2024 Draft thread
btw murphy looks like he has great eyes on what is happening, but i actually don't see great "moves" from either of them. they both just matriculate to the ball.

I like Verse. But Latu is clearly the better player. My biggest worry right now is Latu falls & ends up with a team like the Rams and is great for them.
Verse is the type of guy that will look good depending on the matchup. His speed-power won't always work against bigger, stronger Tackles.
I'm higher on Murphy. I see a lot of Jalen Carter in his game. But he doesn't have the character concerns. Which is a plus.

Re: 2024 Draft thread
My Wishlist:
1. Latu
2. Murphy
3. Fautanu
4. Fuaga
5. Verse
DeJean has been rumored as a possibility. Taking him at 16 is a bit rich for me. But I like the player. I think he's exclusively a Safety/Nickle & can be had somewhere in the 20's.
Graham Barton is another guy I like. But only in a trade down scenario.
I don't think Penix makes it to 16. A team like the Raiders will scoop him up.

Apparently, Byron Murphy has been told that he won't get past our pick! A lot of smoke connecting us to him.

Re: 2024 Draft thread
So a few things on that chart... damn look how pervasive edge is. But fautanu looks like a safer bet than the DTs

Re: 2024 Draft thread
Okay, it's prediction time!
Who are they taking?
Prior to last year's draft, I had a strong sense that Spoon would be the pick!
This time, I think it's Jared Verse!
He's everything they love in a prospect. A former 0-star recruit in high school. Sound familiar?
He plays with an edge & is tough. High motor. Great leader. He's exactly their type.
Macdonald is going to want someone with his skillset.

I think there's going to be a run on OT's & they'll miss out on Fautanu. Which is why I think their first pick will be on defense.

Re: 2024 Draft thread
been in the hospital all day with my pop and trying to keep his mind on the draft while he deals with internal bleeding and pain.
So here is a few of my guesses:
My Hope:
1. Brian Murphy on a tradeback including a 2nd
2. Cooper Beebe
3. Junior Colson
4. Beau Brade S
4. Theo Johnson TE
My wild guess:
1. Trade back to late round for 2nd Penix
2. Junior Colson
3. T'vondre Sweat or Jenkins or Braden Fiske
4. Brandon Coleman G TCU or Puni G
4. James Williams S/LB or Malik Mustapha S
Guys I'm scared we do draft and then start immediately justifying:
Cooper Dejean
Spencer Rattler
Ty'Ron Hopper lb
Adisa Isaac and Braylen Trice Edge
Jaheim Bell
Any CB in the top 2 rounds
Guys I fringe like or would be surprised but cool with:
Cole Bishop S
Christian Mohogany G
Jenkins DT
Ben Sinott TE (does anyone try to stay in bounds, break tackles and stay on his feet like this dude in the draft?)
Ja'Tavion Sanders TE
Bo Nix
Malachi Corley WR
Jaylon Ford LB
Darius Robinson Edge
Mason Smith DT

This one is interesting because it point to MM wanting to build a wall and how often he's employed giant DTs where as Murphy, Newton, and current DTs are not over 330... and Sweat could be the call
