All set, just fixed the feed so it should be fine moving forward.
Ian, Good Draft.
Some tweaks? I had D linemen Marcus Hardison in Round 3 and Xavier Williams (late). Would love CB Marcus Peters but I think he is gone. If he is there you grab him.
Two picks I am not interested in (my opinion) are RB Ajayi and WR Coates.
1)Do we sacrifice a high pick on a RB? I think we have depth there in the way BB values RBs. You have Gaffney and the "red shirted" White on the roster.
2)Coates can't run patterns and his hands are suspect. He is Chad Jackson II, is he not?
Rather than reach for a kid like Nick Marshall (although I like the idea), I had Michigan St. CB/WR Tony Lippett (Notice CB). He has that Troy Brown versatility and at 6'2" with great ball skills he already has some solid CB experience, he can also be a fifth WR on game day. Lippett even had a better 3 cone than Coates.
As far as a WR project (which is what Coates would be and #97 is too early for a project) I would rather have Tyrell Williams Western Oregon at 6'4" 210lb (taller than Coates who looks to have better hands, equivalent speed and actually blocks) a little later.
So pick #97 I might suggest CB Tony Lippett, #219 I would have WR Tyrell Williams AND instead of RB at #96 I go Ali Marpet G if we miss out on Jackson. That leave us the #2 slot.#64.........
Shockeroo. I give up my #2 to Cleveland for RFA S Tashaun Gibson with a second round tender, who after Richard Sherman owns the most prolific Int numbers in the league at 11 and is only 24 years old. We then have the best S tandem in the NFL which helps our CB situation. McCourty is the organizer, not the playmaker Gibson is. His tender is only $2.3 mm. Would Cleveland match with so many holes? I don't know. You might have to sweeten the offer (as in Wes Welker tender offer to the Dolphins).
Is there a better player on the Draft Board at #64 than Gibson? He is an upgrade on Chung and Harmon, but now with Teams using three Safeties in alignments, it is a luxury for Matt P. He can play McCourty, Gibson and Chung the same time.
Thoughts?
