How about Mike Hughes at corner? Easy acceleration and great ball skills. I expect him to blow up the combine.
Small and questionable that he can take a pounding at the NFL level. What he CAN do is cover, though, and he would be afforded the ability to sit behind Harmon and McCourty, put on muscle, and learn. I think a 2nd would be too rich for him, though, and he may be gone by the third.Thoughts on Armani Watts? Seems to be flying under the radar right now.
Finishing him up as we speak. Will post soon.
Really like him. VG Press. Doesn't get enough credit for off/zone play. Physical. Really good c.o.d. Can play outside/slot. +speed & burst.
Has to player lower coming out of stance but theres so much to like.
This has to be a joke right. I ve never in my life want to spam any other post on any forum intentionally. Vita Vea is my binke from last year and maybe i got carried away. I really like your stuff you are posting about draft, but with this i lost respect. Instead of funny or like button you could DM me and i would apologize for causing you hard time and that is it. Sure instead of DM to me, now you are crying to admins.
Admins you can delete all my posts and ban me.

What's everyones opinion on Kirk? I'm a big fan of him and would love to see him here..
I don't see him taking snaps over Cooks and Edelman. We have a speed backup in Dorsett already. Mitchell will be back. Hogan is solid -- while there is a need for developing a pipeline of young players, this receiving corp is a far cry from Kenbrell Tompkins and Kamar Aiken. Kirk is predicted to go somewhere between 20 and 40. That's too rich for me, given our defensive needs, even though I think that he'll be very good, and potentially elite.
How do you feel about the off field concerns? They're pretty significant from the rumblings that I've heard. On field, he seems like a perfect fit, though.
Dion Lewis replacement if he walks love what I see from this kid.
Barring any bizzare drops by others down the draft board, and if Rashaan Evans is already gone by 43 and VanderEsch isn't, then I would run to the podium to turn in his name.Leighton Vander Esch quietly put up a monster season. I've never thought his tape was quite as impressive as his volume stats, but they're hard to argue against:

I've mentioned Nwosu before, but I went back to review his tape recently, and I think he will generate a significant amount of interest in NE. Very good at timing his jumps to bat down throws, and always seems aware of passing lanes / concepts. He's a former safety, and it shows in his movement. He's not necessarily a great EDGE guy, but he could be an excellent chess piece in the same way that Nink was deployed at LB / DE.
Perhaps he does, but comparing Nwuosu to Ninkovich is comparing apples to oranges. Nwosu seems a strictly off-the-line as opposed to an on-the-line defender like Ninko, but not a 3-4 OLB either. His body has the look of a 4-3 OLB, because I doubt that he's stout/willing/instinctive enough to be an ILB in either 3-4 or 4-3 systems. He's also an inexperienced and unfinished product, so I would therefore not consider him until #63 at the earliest, no matter how well he tests at the combine.I like this post. Nwosu is interesting - BB does like players that disrupt the play rather than being worried about their numbers.
