Prospects of interest going into day three

[theinstrumental]

I’m curious about Marcus Mbow. He could be a plus center if he’s smart enough. It’ll come down to how he interviewed, but it would be great to find another starter in this draft.

We need a safety, corner, WR and RB with four of the five picks.   The luxury pick will be either a TE, DL, OL or ILB.

No no no. Stick to the board! Draft BPA! That's what the top tier teams do.

FA (and to a much lesser extent, UDFA) is for all the needs stuff.

Gunnar Helm is my guy in the 4th.

Some good value at CB, DT and RB.

Bowman is the only remaining safety that I feel is a good with w/Moehrig

Maybe Strong, Tuten, Peebles - the triple hokie haha

Peebles is off my hokie list. I want Lane, tuten (my fav of the bunch), and ok with strong.

Strong is a hit or miss: you put him in zone and he's going to look great. Ask him to cover outside and he's going to give up huge plays down field. He's great when he has help over the top, but doesn't have the recovery speed unfortunately. But damn if he's facing the QB, he's money. I wouldn't want him on speedy slots though. He is a willing tackler too. Comes up and can support in the run game and blitz too. I am afraid he's not quite the athlete to really standup as a slot guy early and that limits his career. Now could be a ST ace.

 

Lane was underutilized. I don't think his track speed always shows on tape. If he gets a runway sure he's gone. Routes are ok but teachable. As a returner he was very good. Again get him a crease and he can flat fly. Big enough to be a true speedy slot guy in the NFL.

Now tuten, if he was at a blue blood he'd be gone. Great vision and patience as a runner. What shocked was the explosion and speed. He was injured allot at VT so the tape showed the combine numbers only at times. Much improved as a receiver out of the backfield. Getting a lb on him on a wheel route equalled big chunks. Mediocre as a pass blocker but much improved. Kickoff and put return strengths too. My issues are health. Never 100% as the seasons wore on. Historically VT has had good backs, that never translate for long due to health. As a Blackshear replacement his is an upgrade for sure. I don't think he's a 3 down back but gets 20 snaps a game cause i don't trust the health. Now could he spot start and get 50+ snaps and 20+ carries for a stretch sure, but I wouldn't want to rely on him as the #1 guy for a season.

I don't think there's any thing that projects higher than Wallace or Jewell at this point but I like Stutsman a lot here.

Yeah, I think we'll probably end up rolling with Wallace and Jewell, and we probably should. At least we know what Jewell is (solid), and Wallace is still developing. It's way too early to be giving up on him.

In no particular order:

Deone Walker - DT Kentucky 

Quincy Riley - CB Louisville 

Jalen Royals - WR Utah State

Billy Bowman Jr - S Oklahoma 

Danny Stutsman - LB Oklahoma 

Andres Borregales - K Miami 

Cam Skattebo - RB Arizona State 

Drew Kendall - C Boston College

 

I like this list.

I would add Chris Paul to it

Get miamis kicker with our last pick

I actually wouldn't mind drafting S. Sanders.  The dude got the message.  The last day of the draft is made for taking shots.  Yes, I know we have Bryce.  What if he regresses?  Using a fourth round pick on a guy some thought was a first round talent isn't dumb.

What if Bryce works out? The honest answer is it's not about Bryce.  Bryce will either work or not, and it's totally in his hands.

What about Sanders?  Maybe Sanders is never more than a backup.  Getting a backup QB in the fourth round is great business.  Maybe he shows the ability to be a starter.  That's a great problem to have!  If you have two starting quality QB's on your roster, you can keep the one you feel fits you the best and flip the other for draft capital.

 I'd rate Chris Paul Jr, Stutsman and Barrett Carter upgrades over Wallace coming out. However, Wallace has more upside than all three.

I’ll take RB Hunter in the 5th

I get your point and don't disagree overall, but we still need to fill too many holes. S, LB, CB, OT

I rather have a rotational DT than a RB that won't see the field.  The RB I picked at 208 ran a 4.29, maybe he can return punts and KR?

Top teams can afford to do that cause they don't have holes like we do.  Also Eagles traded up to get Mukuba, was he BPA?
