How much do you believe in our drafting skills

This years Draft is gonna be very important if we want to stay competitive and we are gonna need some good pick because we have some glaring holes.

The biggest no doubt will be left with Peppers. DE is a must

The second will be at DT. We have almost no inside push.

Third would be at CB. We need a Nickle or 2nd CB.

All are our glaring holes and will need to be addressed.

first round yields some great returns in production.

the other rounds, not so much

I agree... we are good with our 1st round picks:

Peppers, Otah, Stewart, Morgan, Davis, Gross, Gamble, Williams, etc...

we use to be great with our second and third round picks:

Marshall, Jenkins, Foster, Smith, Kalil, Wharton etc....

And can sometimes stink it up after the first round:

Shelton, Ellison, Colbert, Olineman from Iowa with hip problem

We have a lot more needs now than people realize:

DE

DT

CB

QB

TE

WR

S

A roster that looked jack not that long ago now looks pretty mediocre, especially on defense.

S and WR we are good IMO. Jarrett improved and should be give the ok to be the 3rd WR. Godfrey looked good at the end of the season and will be better if Trgo gets his walking papers. We are good at TE with a young Gary Barnage waiting in the wings. The rest I agree with.

why not put every position on there? how about LB and ST's?

DE- weakness but can be addressed via draft / fa with adequate players, nobody of Peppers caliber

DT- same approach

CB- scheme and not the players

QB- no good FA QB's and none worth drafting high, we will sink or swim with Delhomme again unfortunately

TE- I like the rotation of King Rosario and Barnidge, not their fault that Jake only throws into quad coverage

WR- our #1 is getting up there in age but has a 2-3 peak seasons in him, our #2 WR has about one more season in him, I agree that this is a position we will need to watch closely

S- Harris is an enforcer, we all knew he can't cover.... Godfrey made a transition from CB to S and started as rookie, he will improve drastically in year 2

Bruce Nelson? Did he even play a game?

That was a bad pick, and Umenyiora was on the board too when we picked him.

This year's DE class sucks, so I expect we go OT if Gross leaves or CB if he re-signs. I'm also not overly fond of any of the DT's in the first round.

But then, I never thought we would take a RB at #13 with Williams in line to start. So anything is possible...especially since we haven't even begun free agency.

      My one and only mock draft

      By ECHornet · Posted

      Walker/Stewart>Mykel on EDGE for me I’d still like to add TMac.    The only two WRs we have contracted beyond this year are XL and Coker (ERFA). Moving forward with TMac and those two feels much better.

      keaton is a former Catamount.  The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori.  But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this.  Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box.  "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ.  He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front.  He would be a nice fit as a depth player.  I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl.  He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion.  NFL Draft Buzz:  "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type.  The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later.  They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep.  To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious.  Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks.
