Best Fanspeak draft i have done so far

working on my own big board and team-by-team draft, but i still check out Fanspeak once in a while. i used the Drafttek rankings, as i find them the most reasonable of all the ones Fanspeak lists. i thought the following draft was very intriguing, so much so that i wanted to share and get the Huddle's input.

 

1st Round:

Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia

 

The Panthers rave about the kid, and i will admit, begrudgingly, that RB is a need for the Panthers. I will also admit that Gurley could be a once in a decade talent if he can stay healthy. If Shaq Thompson had still been on the board, i would have taken him instead. But Thompson was taken shortly before the Panthers' pick. Gurley was the best talent on the board when the Panthers were up to pick.

2nd Round:

Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF

 

Perriman may not make it to 57. if he does, then i would be willing to bet that he would be the BPA in Gettleman's mind. Perriman is a shifty, quick receiver. he is tall and is able to create separation. oh and he is top-end type fast, something the Panthers are looking for. this is a value pick if he's there.

3rd Round:

Rob Haverstein, OT, Wisconsin

 

i will be honest and say that i dont know much about Haverstein. I think Zod gave a good review of the guy a few weeks ago. He played for a school in a power conference, facing top DL talent regularly. If any of you Huddlers could enlighten me to this kid and his game tape, i would appreciate it. for those that want to know, Justin Hardy was the top prospect on the board, but having just taken Perriman in the second round, i dont think WR warranted two draft picks.

4th Round:

Jacoby Glenn, CB, UCF

 

when reading Glenn's draft profile on NFL.com, i kept thinking... "wow, sounds like a Gettleman pick". all his issues can be taught out of him by our outstanding secondary coach. this kid is fast and tall. we need that in our secondary.

5th Round:

5a: Jeremiah Poutasi, G, Utah

 

has played at both tackle positions, but projects more as a guard. he is at least great depth for our guards, and could possibly challenge for starting position at either tackle spot. He is another one whose issues seem to be teachable. versatility won me over here. as did 6'5", 335. haha.

5b: Jake Ryan, LB, Michigan

 

Ryan seems to have the attitude and physical gifts to play the position. his profile states that he mainly needs more reps and his "instincts" need work. with Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis both there to mentor him, i think his instincts will be just fine.

5c: Max Garcia, C, Florida

 

has experience at tackle and started a whole season at guard. another versatile player, but this one could one day take over for Ryan Kalil when he decides to hang up the cleats. in the mean time, he can serve as great depth. was a team captain and "beloved by his teammates, fans, and coaches" sounds like a character guy, and thats the type of guy this organization targets. 

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/max-garcia?id=2552583

 

6th Round:

Adrian Amos, S, Penn State

 

"Amos checks all the boxes when it comes to strong football intelligence, a willingness to digest tape and cover skills." this makes me think of another Gettleman pick. not to mention the kid ran a 4.37 and a 4.4 40-time. fast and intelligent? yes please. oh and he is at least of average height for a safety. 

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/adrian-amos?id=2552385

 

7th Round:

Tyeler Davison, DT, Fresno State

 

"Nicknamed "Rhino" due to playing style"? yes please. has experience on the outside at DE, and "can play all three downs if called upon to do so. With his athleticism, balance and power, Davison has the potential to be an outstanding pro..." hasnt proved that he can hold up against top-end competition, but for a seventh round pick, he has great upside. 

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/tyeler-davison?id=2552329

 

what do you think? nothing terribly flashy outside of the first round, but alot of high-value, low-risk picks (aside from Gurly who is extremely high value, but also high-risk)

I'm not trolling. If you can't take opinions then don't post at all.

Havenstein is a 4th at best, probably 5th.

Poutasi is better value.

 

i can take opinions. but if someone simply expresses disapproval without explanation, i consider that trolling. explain why you think Haverstein is a 4th or 5th, and why Poutasi is a better value. 

 

im not angry with you at all. its just that simple disapproval doesnt lead to worthwhile discussion. i am actually asking for you to educate me about these prospects.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
