Who WILL TT Draft AT #29?

If you are Ted Thompson and Reuben Foster or Gareon Conley, or another player that may slide much lower than anticipated draft position, do you pass on them as well, or choose them as BAP and keep your fingers crossed?

No way on Conley. But they could have had enough time to figure out what is going on with Reuben. Packers said to still be in mix for Mixon after first round.

At least in the Stanford game, I see all those weaknesses. Though I think the outside route to the QB is predetermined by his alignment and scheme. Would love to know if he was advised against a counter move in order to maintain outside leverage.

His SPARQ rating is 2nd behind Garrett and his 40 speed and all splits are insane. But his functional strength looks limited. He lifted like a LB.

Would prefer Watt, similar numbers.

I like Bowser more than both of those guys - by a wide margin.

If you're simply trying to predict who Ted will pick, then this is what you look for:

- He will only have played football for a year or two.
- He has short arms
- He tested better than he played
- He isn't a highly talented player who slid because of character concerns

Whoever that is, that's Ted's guy

5 of TT's last 9 1st round picks have come from the Pac12.

I dunno. He looks all quickness to me. Seems small, especially against Louisville. Regardless of measurement he is quicker with his feet than Willis. I don't know how Willis got those SS and three cone numbers when he looks so straight line and lumbering.

Which of the SS or 3-cone are supposed to show quick stops and starts?

That is only if its a CB.

I recall my original pipe dream of getting Mixon in the 3rd. Now that the chic he punched has come out and done a presser with him and they have made up and she said some really nice things about him and his sincerity I believe its possible TT grabs him if he is there at 29. I would personally prefer TJ Watt. He has the holy trifecta. Motor, blood line, tools. I honestly don't recall a draft where "mock" drafts were so all over the map.

Barry Sanders or Deion Sanders.

I think taking a player that is a 4-3 end in college and trying to make them a stand up 3-4 outside linebacker is a mistake in the first round. There are enough edge rushers from a two point stance in this draft to not have to transition a player and wait 3-4 years to see results. You take a cat like Willis, not a bad football player, he didn't blow my socks off from film but he had decent measurable athletic talent, but he seems like he would be awfully stiff in coverage and playing the run. His get off out of two point stance would be concerning as well.

I personally would rather take a Takk McKinley from UCLA who did play with his hand on the ground 60% of the time but also played as an outside and inside linebacker. that guy has great get off.

Last one in first round was Daryl Thompson in 1990. I don't know. They really need to fix the D. I know the draft is not just for help in the current year, but if they don't make a concerted effort to fix the D this year, that's just one more year gone with A-Rod not getting any younger. #fixtheD

I get that we need d. I want d. I am just saying that Mixon is probably the best all around back in the draft. He returns. He catches passes. He runs tough. If TT doesn't see a character problem going forward and a talent that should go top 10 drops to him I think he pulls the trigger.

TJ Watt.
