Official 2019 Draft Thread

How about a 2 Yr .....4-4.5mil/yr ? Will he still command that ?

already signed with the rams

2 years 10.5 million. can get that up to 12.5 million

i thought 5.5 million a year would be about right, turns out i'm pretty smart

Day 7

Nick Bosa DE, Ohio St.

Film Oregon St, Wisconsin '17

First Take: Bosa is everything you want in an edge rusher. He is literally using his hands every play and his feet don't stop. As a sophomore against Wisconsin he had to work a little harder against top notch NFL caliber offensive linemen, but he was still a disruptor in bother the pass and run. Playing against Oregon St he was just at another level as a Junior. He should go as the top defensive player taken and if not any team wanting the best edge rusher in this draft or really the past three drafts should try to move up and select him.

Day 7

Dalton Risner OL, Kansas St. #71
Films: Mississippi St, Texas (films do not indicate player before the snap so you have to look for #71)

First Take: The guy could play right tackle in the NFL and he could be a guard. I don't know if he is going to be dominant at either position. He blocks in the run game like a right tackle. He does a decent job in the run game, I would like to see Risner drive forward on his blocks and gain some ground, but all in all he does a nice job in the zone run game, coming off his initial block to pick up second level players. Pass blocking on 5 techniques won't be a problem for him, but it is the 9 techniques on the outside that will give him some fits. He gives up too much ground on the speed rush off the edge. He makes contact too many times when the rusher is already in the backfield. he is too careful not to get beat on the double move back to the inside so he gets depth but does not widen out. This could be worked on by getting out of his stance faster and moving his feet quicker to get in the right position to attack edge rushers inside of letting them come to him 4 yards deep. His Pad level could get better. He needs to drop his ass a little bit in both the run game and pass pro. I think he will be more than serviceable at the pro level, and can fill at all spots on the line besides left tackle.

Day 8

Jawaan Taylor T, Florida
Film: Florida St, Georgia

First Take: His feet are really good especially in his pass protection set. Seems to stay balanced and does a good job of recovering because he moves his feet so well. Taylor is one of those linemen that never seem to panic in their pass sets, he has confidence in his abilities. He does play high, and you know that pad level has to get fixed. This hurts Taylor in the run game as he is not much of a drive blocker. In fact I was not impressed with his running blocking as he seems more apt to lean on a guy than actually move him. His footwork is still excellent and his feet take him where he needs to go quite well, but he doesn't seem to have a passion for run blocking which is disappointing because he would be considered a top of the first round guy if he did. He seems more comfortable at right tackle than at left tackle.

#Browns GM John Dorsey’s draft picks the last five years (4 with #Chiefs):

2013: Eric Fisher (1), Travis Kelce (2)
2014: Dee Ford (1)
2015: Marcus Peters (1)
2016: Tyreek Hill (5)
2017: Pat Mahomes (1), Kareem Hunt (3)
2018: Baker Mayfield and Denzel Ward (1)

He's so good. I like Gooter but I am disappointed the Packers didn't float the msg to Horsey they were moving on from Ted and to come on home.

I’d be happy with Ed Oliver, Clelin Ferrell, or Devin White

Wanna know why Andy Ried fired Dorsey? Dorsey was one arrogant motherfucker and he had an ego the size of the Roman god Jupiter. Apparently, being incarcerated in Cleveland with a fraudulent owner hasn’t humbled Dorsey any.

I’d rather Ted Thompson GM the Pack than Dorsey, and I wrote like 96 chapters of Ted is Trapped in the Closet.

Btw: Just how big was Jupiter’s ego? He held the the Romans down, and laughed as the gay men drown...as Rome was a-burning. Jupiter was so egoistic and vicious, the Romans started worshipping the deity of the awesome hippie they crucified back in their heyday.

These would be my first three guys on the defensive side, or Quinnen Williams. On the offensive side the Packers might have to think about offensive line and I don't know if the 12th spot will warrant one of the linemen left, so I could again see the Packers trade back in the draft to acquire more picks. There are basically 4 or 5 players that I would consider for the 12th pick.

Farrell
Oliver
White
Bosa(not going to be there)
Quinnen Williams(not going to be there)
Jonah Williams
Josh Allen(not going to be there)

Hoping White drops!!!

After the spend apalooza yesterday I am convinced we trade down in this draft.

If they are planning on trading down and white or sweat falls, maybe they make that pick, but unless someone they can't believe slipped through, I see them loading up on picks, even picks in next couple years.

These contracts all expire in 3-4 years. Rodgers likely loses most effectiveness around same time. It makes sense to load up on capital after yesterday.

It’s a good run. Picking early does help though.

Day 8
Mack Wilson LB, Alabama
Films: Auburn, LSU

First Take: Wilson doesn't rely on his instincts. He relies on his ability to read and diagnose what is in front of him based on his film study. At times he is where he is supposed to be when teams don't expect him to be there. Wilson doesn't fall for false keys or miss direction. All of this is well and good, but he isn't a LB that will knife through the line or jump underneath a block and make a big play. He almost waits until the play is upon him. His coverage skills are really good. Wilson has phenomenal technique with his drops and reading his keys in zone coverage. He can play all three downs in pass coverage. I would like to see Wilson become more assertive and instinctual in the run game and defeat blocks using his hands instead of waiting for the ball carrier to arrive. Decent blitzer understands his responsibilities when blitzing, will not jump gaps and mess up the scheme.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Anybody scouted Greedy Williams yet? I think the Packers signing the Smiths and apparent interest in resigning Wilkerson and Matthews (as an ILB with versatility to give outside rush snaps) maybe points to them not expecting Bush or maybe Oliver to fall. Hockenson is nice, but I don't know if you draft a TE who isn't an exceptional athlete at 12. More likely, they look at TE with pick #30 - hoping one of the top three fall. Oliver may still pique their interest, but I'm starting to think OL or CB is really in play (especially since there doesn't appear to be any urgency to resign Breeland). If they draft Greedy, Alexander can play in the slot. If King gets hurt again, Alexander can kick outside. The knock on Greedy is that he doesn't like to tackle, but he looks a big press man CB that Pettine had with the Jets, Antonio Cromartie. King could be that too, but they need to cover themselves. Josh Jackson could give them the flexibility to play at safety.
