the best value lies with wilkerson......and the pats don't need to move up to get him.......watt is not worth moving up for......jordan is not worth moving up for.
I see OT's like feguson pushing watt or jordan around pretty easily......I don't see them having the same success against wilkerson
Do you mean Wilkerson at #17? Because I can easily see scenarios where he doesn't last till #28.
In any case Wilkerson strikes me more of a Ty Warren type than a Seymour.
He'll be a solid run stuffer but don't count on him to collapse the pocket or make the QB throw any earlier than he wants to.
Watt is an athletic freak who projects to be able to do both and he hasn't even fully grown into his frame yet.
Get him into the Pats strength and conditioning program and by year 2 we could be looking at the next Julius Peppers.
He can be the type of guy who commands double teams like Seymour used to.
A small trade up to 12-13 to make sure that happens, yeah I can see it. But I wouldn't want to pay two 1sts to move up.
With Stroud in the fold as a run stuffer for the short term. I don't really see as much value in getting a Ty Warren clone.
I'd rather get the guy who can potentially do everything and has a relentless motor along with rare length and athleticism.
How many 6'6 290 lb guys can you name with a 37" vertical and a 6.88 3 cone? Not to mention Watt had 34 bench reps at the Combine which was among the leaders for that category so I think the lack of strength accusations are unfounded. Just watch the tape closer, the guy has powerful violent hands. He can swat down RBs with just one of his mitts. How many other linemen in the NFL do you see making that kind of play?
