While we are waiting on training camp, I am curious to hear what your thoughts are on who will be a darkhorse breakout player... 

On offense, I think Ihmir-Smith Marsette will be a secret weapon for us. I just think he needs some playing time this coming season He definitely is shifty and can get that YAC.

Defensively, I am going with DJ Johnson. This dude is quick and just needed to time to adjust to the system but I have a feeling he will be good.

You can’t go with a WR and ignore the QB but really, do people see anyone breaking out there? Maybe Brooks if the OL gels and he is healthy. 

 I’m just going with Corbett. He does the job. Problem solved. If the O works it is because the OL works. If this OL works, he is doing better than anyone here thought.

Defensively, Josey Jewell. He takes a little bit of the sting off losing Luvu(definitely not saying he will be as good because I don't believe that) and plays very well this season.

I don’t know, Jewell might be better than Luvu in Evero’s system. He was a 100 plus tackler a season. Luvu is better at pass rushing but I feel like he was playing out of position last year. Plus Luvu was a bit of a liability in coverage.

I hope so. Luvu was a thumper, that's for sure.

If he doesn't do well, we spent all that money on OL for literally nothing. He is one of the most critical elements of this offensive overhaul. If he gets injured or he doesn't pan out, you can go ahead and bank on the season being a mess.

      As of today, who would you draft at number 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I like Barron a lot but I don’t see it happening with our FO’s preferences.  Although his ability to flex between outside CB, slot and FS make him like a jacked up Sainristil with a bit of the Witherspoon gene. He could be exactly what we need but no one’s really talking about him for us.  Think your autocorrect may have changed out Will Johnson — who I also like but his man coverage skills worry me a tad this high in the draft. And injuries.

      Reason for Liking or Disliking Prospect X at 8 Overall

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I want Donavon Ez and/or Derrick Harmon - one is the best finesse edge rusher in the draft with one of the most nuanced games I’ve seen from an OLB, and the other is the most balanced disruptor in the vein of H Ngata - most pressures, 2nd highest DL in pressure rate last year. An absolute force, with the production to backup.  We’re chasing and chatting these spotty upside guys, TEs, or skill positions guys with legit holes in their game. I feel like these two (and maybe even Kenneth Grant) are ripe for the picking and will not disappoint.  Pounding the table for all three, but I don’t expect to get any of them.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I would counter that guys like Carter who have popped in those same loaded defenses didn't need the qualifying statements about "being loaded." It's easy to see the potential, however his theoretical ceiling is definitely lower than a guy like Shemar Stewart. But that isn't the whole story, is it? Why do you think Williams will develop where other prospects will not? Especially when he has been largely a top tier edge setter and nothing close to that as a pass rusher in his college career? He has been VERY consistent in his three years in college.
