Some notes from my source involving the NFL draft

[MHS831]

It would serve us if 3 QBs were taken in the top 15. 

If no CB goes in top 10, could we take Greedy and move Jackson to nickel?  Lotta teams are playing 3 CBs a lot anyway.

I desperately want better lines but the idea of moving Jackson to nickle and having 3 effective and different options at CB is very interesting and intriguing. I guess with all of the talent in this draft around our pick, is there CB depth down the road or is it something we couldn't duplicate in this draft? I agree we should be playing 3 CBs a hell of a lot more. Dump the Joker attempt  and get on with better matchups.

What are his thoughts on the pass rushers and DL?

OL class?

DBs?

Mid-late round WRs and RBs?

I really want an elite pass rusher and adderly. Do you think it is possible that he slips into the second at least into trade up range? My idea draft is 

1. Elite rusher 2. Starting FS(wich I think the draft is actually pretty loaded with) 3a. A center 3b. A slot corner (I like Kendall Sheffield) 4.a LG and the rest BPA by position.

Prospects he thinks will be potential first round picks that not enough people are talking about: 
Jaylon Ferguson, DE, LOUT 
Zach Allen, DE, BC 
Amani Oruwariye, CB, PENN 
N'Keal Harry, WR, ARST 
Nasir Adderly, S, DEL 
Riley Ridley, WR, GEO

I wish there was a way we could come out of the first 2 rounds of this draft with an elite-level edge rusher (prefer Sweat) and Adderly.

meant to quote these for my post above

also I like Ross Pierschbacher as the LG pick...i would trade away the rest of our picks to get these 5 guys...i mean how many players workout anyway even as depth, I believe in trading up and getting quality and having less picks.

Agree but I think we should get a pure nickel and leave donte on the outside , can get alot of value later in the draft with a pure nickel. Without Davis and with shaq moving to rolb (assuming) I would love to play the nickle as a primary package!

Donte has exceeded my expectations on the outside last year but I'm not ready to anoint him a fantastic outside CB, he has a lot more proving to do there. Dont get me wrong, not crapping on the dude but he has plenty to work on and I'm excited about seeing it. Bradbury took on the #1s and Donte had some successes and some failures. I like the idea of three capable CBs that we can matchup accordingly with unique strengths. Donte looked like a guy that would be viscous at the nickle spot or we could just line up the CBs based on matchups, positions be damned. It would be great to assume we will see nickle as more of our base defense but I will believe it when it happens. The talk of going 3-4 makes he very hesitant to think Rivera is getting ahead of the curve and not just playing catch up to past trends.

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm fine either way. I think Jackson can play inside or out and I'll never complain about versatility. He really surprised me as a tackler last year and that's important at the nickel position. The closer you are to the middle of the D, the more likely you are to be involved in run support.

Being it was donte s rookie year with the worst pass rush we've had in a long time , I really think he shines on the outside in year 2

This is assuming we draft DE in the first

His being a "big plays both ways" type of corner would concern me some at nickel.
