Love me some JoJo

Hand swat, double hand swat, speed to power, stack n shed, leverage.

Goodness this defensive class is special. Truly special.

JoJo and Takk are two I love not many are talking enough about imo.

 

[I.M. Fletcher]

Mathis and Anderson have a lot in common. High energy, high compete, can play every situation.

Mathis injury might bump him down a round or two, but he should be great value for someone.

Takk I am still not sure about. Great athlete, but where does he play in the pros?

I like JoJo a lot more than Anderson. He was on pace for a monster year and was a HUGE loss to that team imho. Physical, high motor and already went through the "me" phase.

I really like him. He has a very nice 1st step w/ built in leverage. Again great motor. Burst.

*Wins in a variety of ways* Burst/get off, speed to power. Very active, heavy hands. Bull rush. Rip. Swat/double swat. Leverage. Flexible.

*Very nice in run support* JoJo understands whats in front of him, in terms of blocking and does a great job at countering it and taking it on. Down block, pull etc.

*Plays w/ great motor but still a heady player w/ great awareness* Just a really good football that understands the game and whats around him.

Honestly I think hes probably tailor made for the Ravens or Pitt as a 34 backer. I think he'd also excel w/ a team like ours that would probably move him around some too.

6'2/260 11% body fat. Looks like a naturally strong dude.

Takk is an untapped animal. Only a kid. Very raw. Great first step. Legit burst. Active/violent hands. Wins w/ speed, power, quickness.

Hes under 22 or 22 I believe and needs coaching but simple pad level work would help immense and make his strength that much stronger.
He needs a counter but again thats all coaching. He can get tossed around in the run game some bc unlike Mathis he doesn't understand the run blocking concepts thats in front of him.

Scary what he could do in a few years after some NFL coaching and training.

Like JoJo I think he'd be a great fit for Pitt/Ravens but a great chess piece for us that could immediately make an impact rushing off the edge.

Quick Note.

Don't ever be afraid to change your opinion. Be it slightly, 180 etc

Sometimes it's easy but most of the time it requires lots of hard work, a 3rd-4th look and some more digging.

Things change. Def not a straight line to get to the conclusion.

The good, bad and great holy **** from Mahomes. I don't want to "change" him, just tweak him. He has to sit for at least a year, most likely 2.

Footwork, Board work and slight, tiny arm mechanics adjustment.

Again 11% body fat and he hits w/ all of that 260 and more.

Some Aaron Rodgers to that final clip. I don't know if he'll make it as a starting NFL QB, but if he does, he'll be an exciting one.

I love that arm. So effortless.

He has that Vick/Rodgers/Stafford wrist flick that can move the ball 50 yards no problem.

I see a lot of guys w/ him.

He'll drive you nuts and make you smile at the same time. Def 2 year project, at least, imo. If he puts it together he could really make some noise.

Definitely a two year project with no guarantees at the end of it. Ideal for a team like the Cardinals.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Clear win and loss from Takk. Good and bad.

You can see the speed n power in the win.

And conversely, the bad pad level with the loss.

Quick look at Bolles as well. Very nice run blocker that would probably fit right in w/ a zone/gap sceme and could develop into a power pig w/ hard work. Nasty guy.

I really think they make a play for Jimmy. Idk?

Is Bruce really gunna bang his head against the wall w/ Palmer and just hope/pray he has another career year?

I disagree w/ those who think we'll get a RG3 type deal but Jimmy HAS to be a valuable commodity right about now after these coaches look the QB class and esp after they get them ok the board.

Jimmy is young enough to really build around for 8-10 years. Showed he's a legit NFL starter and literally learned from the best.

He needs a lot of help to succeed. I think him and Carr are very similar and comp'd both to each other which is weird but what the hell?

I've always thought it would be Houston or the 49ers. Does John Lynch want to bet his new job on Kaepernick or Kizer? On the other hand, Garropolo would be an ideal QB to base his new tenure around; has experience, still has one cheap year, doesn't require a long term commitment if he doesn't work out but if he does, they can keep him for two further years even without signing a long term deal.

Dominik going to the 49ers would make JimmyG a really interesting situation.

Shanahan might like to build his own qb, but having a ready made WC offense qb with all the traits you would look for, maybe too hard to pass up.

I have been all over the map on JimmyGs value, but I do think the 49ers new front office makes it an awful lot more likely that they are in play.

Not good.

I honestly wouldn't be too surprised if shannahan would make a move for JG If you think about it what would be the difference between jg who at least has some type of track record of success in the nfl or already or taking a chance on a qb in this draft who seems like nobody is too high on to begin with. I don't think it will be for anything more than the second overall pick though. I'm hoping at least more suitors start to come up for jg so we can hopefully get a good haul for Garropolo especially in this deep of a draft.

Browns buzz on Jimmy Garoppolo, Deshaun Watson and Mitch Trubisky at the Senior Bowl

This article from Cleveland mentions the 49ers as competition while speculating it may take the 12th pick and more.
