Official 2019 Draft Thread

The obvious explanation is that Sweeney brought SEC levels of corruption to the ACC. That plus Clemson already being SEC-ish, is how you play for the Championship.

Wist, I like Devin White too. I've heard him called a bigger, better Roquan Smith. It doesn't sound like he has top 15 buzz...so I wonder where he goes? Not sure if he can play OLB, but he might actually be able to play 3 downs at ILB.
I still like J. Allen best. The guy (Brian Burns?) from FSU is intruiging as a late R1/early R2 player. Polite looks decent.

Gotta think about OL and S too.

That Josh Allen guy from Kentucky - I think that's his name - looks super-quick, but he also looks light, like he gets pushed around a lot.

Reminds me of Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (KGB), the old Packers 'tweener who had a few good years in Green Bay. I believe he was a fourth or fifth round pick in the early 2000's. Had a couple of 13-sack years. Pass rush specialist.

Allen looked pretty good in their bowl game. 3 sacks, a hurry or two and a blocked FG. Very fast and a heck of an athlete. I was impressed by him, although I just watched that one game.

Jachai Polite and Noah Fant would be a helluva start !

Jachai Polite - EDGE
Noah Fant - TE
Tev'on Coney - ILB
Yodny Cajuste - T
Sheldrick Redwine - S

My first five that I would be very happy about

Hey Cheesehead Craig, SI did a nice article on Clemson. They're only the 2nd team in 30 years to see this level of unprecedented improvement.

Wait, so if it happened before, then it's precedented. LOL.

Texas A&M has put an obscene amount of money into their program recently, they are really hoping that $ buys titles.

That's totally fine. Just make sure no kids get $$$ or shoes for an autograph.

You like Polite ??????????

Based on what I've seen so far from White, I'd have no problem with him at 12. Guy is a difference maker. Great sideline to sideline speed, great instincts, takes great angles, big hitter.

Love the guy.

I watched a little of Polite... liked him too. Put some NFL muscle on him, he could be a beast.

Just starting to look though. Lot of good front 7 guys.

Boy, if Arizona did this and put Rosen on the market, I would think long and hard about dealing a #2 for him, or maybe even the second #1.

Rosen had an atrocious OL blocking for him and an offense that misused David Johnson. Kid's got talent. I think he would be an upgrade over Kizer for sure.

[texaspackerbacker]

I like the idea of Devin White also. We arguably need a high quality ILB more than we need an OLB, although getting both would be good.

I had a higher opinion of Rosen coming out of college than Darnold. I'd be glad to get him cheap, but not for the price he will probably go for - a second or maybe even our lower first round pick. It's a little bit soon to get our replacement for Aaron Rodgers at this point. Rosen absolutely would be an upgrade over Kizer - just about anybody would be.

How would you compare White to Mack Wilson? It looked like the knock on White is getting caught between run support and coverage. They both look fast and athletic. Thanks, Wist.

I haven't looked at all of them, but so far I only see 1 ILB going in the 1st round - White. I think there's a good chance White won't make it to us at 12.

Wilson wouldn't be much of an upgrade over Martinez, so I wouldn't jump early for him.

White has been a popular prediction for us for pick #12 from some of the mock drafts
