Linebacker in the first?


Recommended Posts

What would you do with him if we drafted him?

Tbh I don't know but ideally it would be either or for his career ( ideally)

Interesting though there was another thread regarding positional rankings that had him as the 5th best LB and the 2nd best SS. He is an intriguing player for sure. Either position I think he makes us better.

A month out, I get the feeling that OT's are gonna drop just because they all project as G's or RT's.

 

That means most of the top tier WR's, DE's and CB's will be off the board.

 

RB, DT might be the best value at 25

Shaq only ever played one game at safety and only put up above average LB, but below average safety numbers at the combine. He appears to play more athletic than his workout numbers suggest but I really don't get the Shaq love as a safety. To me, he's an undersized 4-3 WLB who shouldn't go in the 1st.

He ran 4.64 at the combine, and with his instincts, I think he would be a great "in the box" SS.  However, I think he has the ability to cover as well.  He is, in my opinion, the best all-around football player in this draft and I think people will regret passing on him in a year or two.  I would take him and find a place.

 

Let's not underestimate what he would mean to special teams either.

 

When Davis starts to decline, I may look at Shaq at SLB if he wants to play there then (I am guessing 2-3 years).  However, I think he would fix the weakest part of our defense (SS) with elite talent.

alright guys, I know this is the dead time between now and the draft.   I am struggling daily with no news and the dragging days until the draft.  I know this site has been posted multiple times on this site but I am finding www.first-pick.com has been keeping me sane for the past few weeks.  I am gone through it too many times.  I finally got a draft that I think could be close to realistic.  I didn't do any trades, because lets face it we aren't the type of team to make any trades up.  Maybe down to get some more picks because of the massive amount of talent that is considered good but not great after pick 20.  But here is it, I find it very good and some what realistic.  Lets here your feed back... 

 

p.s. I don't see DJ being there 2nd but, we all know crazy things have happened in the draft.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
