Official 2019 Draft Thread

[bobblehead]

Bush was there at 30 on 4/5, but I'm not targeting him there... dont think he's special like White.

I'm going to look at him some more though b/c I know a lot of people are high on him.

Would like to see Hanks there in the 3rd.

In what way is Bush not as special as white? Personally I would draft bush, have him shed 10 pounds and make him the next nick collins!!

[Deputy Nutz]

I would be giddy with White or Sweat. I can live with Burns. Anyone else I want to trade back to 17-19 range and take Bush who is nearly equal to White in every way. 1" might mean a lot to my wife, but it doesn't sway me at ILB. Gotta grab him before Pitt at 20 though. I guarantee they take him if he is there at 20.

I would not trade back if one of these players were available
Jonah Williams
Quinnen Williams
Josh Allen
Joey Bosa
Ed Oliver
Celin Ferrell

If most of these guys were available I would trade back 5 or 6 spots, and if you ended up with a Sweat or a Burns I could live with trading back. I don't think I would want Bush in the first 20 picks in the draft. I would probably say the same for White. I think they are both talented, but I would rather get one of the top 5 pass rushers in the top twenty. Rules for the top twenty QBs, CBs, Edge, and Left tackles with exceptions. I don't think Bush or White fall into the top twenty based on their production and position.

I would rather have bush at 30 than White at 12

Does Sweat's now discovered heart condition dissuade any of you Sweat-hogs from wanting to take him at #12?

[Deputy Nutz]

I never wanted to take him at 12. His film doesn't match his testing numbers. I would like him some where in the first but probably not before 15.

I just looked at highlights, but he looked good to me. Guys that long don’t look as fast cuz their strides are so big, but I see a guy with enough speed to truly threaten the edge and the body to grow into where it’s not going to be his only trick.

I like his chances.

Agree 100% on this, although I'd be ok if they didn't draft either ILB. I think they still need another OLB and to address OL, plus the DL depth is very good and if they aren't signing Wilkerson they can do better than Lancaster/Montravious.
I think Jonah Williams and Clelin Ferrell will be there at 12.

And I'm not on the M.Sweat bandwagon. I think he's very raw and his athleticism won't be as big of an advantage in the pros.

[RashanGary]

Jonah Williams reminds me of Bahk coming out. Only knock is size. Blocks everything. Just a baller. Would be nice to have for sure! Bahk could end up sliding to RT once he goes over 30 and could last a long time. Williams could start at RT and go to left when he’s in his prime and Bahk is past his.

I’d be cool with that pick.

[RashanGary]

Of the guys that might make it to us

I’m feeling good about Devin White, Jonah Williams, Ed Oliver

I kinda like Sweat and Burns too. I’d be excited with either!

[RashanGary]

Really good draft to have a top 12 pick!!

[pittstang5]

Dalton Risner - I'd like to see this guy in a Packer Uniform. Maybe take him with the 30th. Will he be there in the 2nd?

I wouldn't count on him being there at 30, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is there. He offers a lot of flexibility for teams, he can play center, tackle, and guard.

Day 11

Quinnen Williams DT, Alabama
Films: Texas A&M, LSU

First Take: Williams looks and feels like the total package when it comes to interior defensive linemen. He has a solid frame with a big butt, strong legs and sizable upper body. He wears #92 and has a very similar build to Reggie White. Outside of those two qualities the similarities stop. Williams is a good football player that should only get better with more playing experience but he nor any other defensive linemen is comparable to Reggie White. He does everything well, but he doesn't have that one super quality yet. He has a very good interior swim move that he battered college offensive linemen with, but he relies on it too much. NFL caliber linemen will catch it very quickly. He needs to add to his rep. His ball get off is good, not great. He uses his hands well but not excellent. He needs to work his hands more and not stay locked on to blocks. I would like to see him disengage quicker and find the football quicker. He seldom gets pushed off the line of scrimmage which is the most important thing when looking at interior defensive linemen. They need to command the double team and at the very least neutralize it and free up the linebacker to make the play. Williams is a relatively inexperienced starting only one year at Alabama, but that doesn't mean he is raw. He does a lot of technique well, but it can be improved and that is what is so exciting for NFL GMs, they realize he hasn't even scratched the surface of his potential.

Day 11

Dexter Lawrence DT,Clemson
Film: Pitt, Syracuse

First Take: He is a big body that demands two linemen to block at the point of attack. Lawrence is a run stuffing lineman eating defender. He isn't go to get you much in terms of a consistent pass rush especially against snap and throw offenses, but I think he can give you a bull rush and can collapse the middle as a pass rusher. He doesn't have great change of direction, but that should be obvious considering he is 6'4" 345 pounds. I think every team would like a big nasty clog in the middle but I am just not sure how high teams are will to go to get a player like Lawrence. He is a two down lineman that you will probably pull off the field in passing situations.

[RashanGary]

Nutz, between Oliver and Williams, who looks better?

[Deputy Nutz]

I like Oliver more than Williams. Williams will be more consistent in the long run, but Oliver will always be more dynamic.
