Day 3 general draft chatter

[Pi = 3.1SHutYoMouth!]

Hopefully, this time around an undersized DE works for Hurney. Marquis Haynes doesn't have the pressure to be the starting DE like Everette Brown. He can play as a situational pass rusher and maybe we have an Evan Mathis / Elvis Dumervil in our hands.

[Smithers]

Now that I see his film I like the pick a lot.  Says he will play DE.  Lined up on the line in college and is very fast with long arms.  Sound familiar?

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

I like the pick. Tons of production in the best conference in college football and long arms that should aid him in beating bigger NFL tackles. Likely a 3rd down situational pass-rusher for us and good special teamer. I’d assume we will have packages for him to rush the passer and blitz off the edges.

So we passed up on a legit DE in Ejiofor for this? I can only think they use him in a role similar to Bruce Irvin/Von Miller. He’s going to get eaten up with his hand in the ground.

Really tired of Hurney grabbing guys in one position and then moving them to another in the pros. He did it a lot before and he's doing it now.

By this point, I think Ejiofor goes undrafted because of his labrum injury during the offseason. Couldn't participate in any events. I'm hoping we can still get him UDFA.

Can we get Bo and Kenny Hill now?

We have a top 10 pick as our starting back. CMC is gonna beast in Norvs system.  Can’t figure out why people keep hating on him as a RB

 

Because he goes down on first contact . Come on man you know that.LOL

He is a scat back to me that can line up at slot.

Your qb should not be your leading rusher. When you need 4 tough yards on 4th down, your QB should not be the option as a power back...LOL

Griffin playing with his brother is great

From NFL.com on Haynes:

Overview

Slender, productive pass rush specialist who features an outstanding upfield burst, but an alarming lack of anchor. While Haynes could get a trial as an early down 3-4 rush linebacker due to his pass rush potential, he isn't built to handle the physical nature of NFL run games. Haynes is a likely fit for teams looking for a designated pass rusher for sub-packages, but he'll need to become more toolsy and unpredictable as an NFL rusher if he wants to duplicate the success he had in college.

Strengths

• Explodes out of the starting blocks with his get-off as rusher
• Pure speed can bend and buzz the edge to attack the quarterback
• Not overly bendy, but uses his forward lean to play under the tackle's hands
• Plays with dogged pursuit of the quarterback and secondary effort leads to sacks
• Edge burst should open more inside opportunities against over-setting tackles
• Rangy with tremendous speed to pursue runners to perimeter
• Small but understands how and when to shift his weight to maximize his contact balance
• Decent body control at point of attack
• Can land first jab into blocker's frame with his length

Weaknesses

• Slender build with thin legs
• Has body type of a big safety
• Could be liability against the run on next level
• Not a reliable edge-setter
• Lacks upper body power to punch and post up on tight ends and tackles
• Gets caught laying on blocks
• Doesn't have base to hold up to drive blockers
• Plays upright at times
• Has linear speed but change of direction quickness is just okay for his size
• Unable to convert speed to power as rusher
• Leggy and can't fight through redirect blocks
• Hasn't learned to use hands as weapon in his pass rush

Hurney taking huge risks like always. 

Two solid picks in Moore and Jackson. 

The rest are either raw or changing positions in the NFL. 

[WOW!!]

If he isn't a outside lb I don't know..
