#1 Most Accurate Mock Drafter says our QB interest is a smokescreen, we will go Evan Neal or Ikcy

i'm assuming Icky is 1A to Evan Neals 1B. But he was one of the few that had us going Horn last year and he also had the most correct picks. His reasoning is pretty sound, just a year ago we passed on QBs just to go QB no matter what a year later? It wouldn't make any sense at all, we've already established we care too much about value to pull the trigger on an Andy Dolton rehash if we had our top of the board player available to us.

I'd be gutted with that.

I hate it but its looking almost certain Jimmy G is going to be the day 1 starter.

Jimmy G with a legit OL, CMC, DJ etc wouldn’t be the end of the world. We’d basically be the Niners and they had a pretty decent season last year. 
 

The south sucks this year. Do not underestimate how much Tepper wants to take advantage of a weak year in this division. Draft the tackle. Bring in JG when he gets released…not a bad off-season.

Using some common sense I would lead toward the Panthers drafting a LT, or some other non-QB position. If the Panthers didn't like Fields, then I don't think they'll like these QBs at 6 either. That points to LT or possibly a physical freak DE, S, or trade down.

The wildcards/variables in this equation: 

Tepper: The World knows he's looking for a QB.  The Pittsburg ties line up perfectly. 

Rhule's desperation: Self explanatory.  Pickett is the top name on his draft board. The former recruitment doesn't hurt KP's chances either. 

Mcadoo: If we dont make a move for a vet, I'm not sure he's sold on Darnold or PJ. Go back to the Pro Day footage and look at his eyes lol (specifically for Willis iirc). 

The Saints: Wouldn't be shocked if they jumped us for OT. Option A and B of the original post could be off the board by our pick. And hypothetically speaking in that scenario that would leave us at Cross, Pickett, Willis, Penning, Dline or trade down. I'd take Cross in that instance but I'm far from a GM. 

Side note: Duane Brown still has our offer on the table. 

And That's why I love the draft. Sucks to only have 1 pick in the first two days though. I could see this FO attempting to offset the lost with a large number of UDFA signings. If we have the roster space.

Is he supposed to be ready to play by day 1? I was thinking he'd miss the beginning of the season.

Except neither of them fit the system. Pickett fits our new system perfectly.

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
