a few notes from the game
- this is really quite depressing QB class and i pity the needy. it was hardly a game the way they couldn't get anything going, couldn't even protect the ball. Lauletta from last yr would look like from another planet here.. It will be interesting to see who if any can emerge in the NFL from this bunch. I hope for and expect a big punt on this QB class by BB unless they think they need competition for backup. I like Grier's competitiveness and off field but his technical shortcomings could prove too much..
- good to see that what mocks consider 2nd class of WRs holds variety of interesting prospects that actually look better to me than current mock stars. Apart from the bunch closely followed here (Deebo, A.Johnson, Renfrow, Isabella, Sills) and the stars of training reports (Hart, McLaurin), Doss, Jennings and Brady could be considered as well. Doss had a monster showing and im curious to see how it affects his “stock“. Glad to see the position of need shaping into a nice, versatile, deep mid round hunting ground for PTPs.. and if NE wouldn't have White id have Pollard pretty high on my list..
- I do hope for at least one OL pick.
1. Id be very surprised if Pats manage to keep T.Brown.
2. Rarely strong and deep OL class with years of FA drought.
3. Dante closing his 2nd retirement
- Lindstrom, Risner, Edoga, Bradbury looked vey good again, also Samia, Powers, Benzschawel, Deiter etc, Dilliard, McGary, McCoy in practices..
- Im adding Keke to my watchlist (although Pats do have Butler), D.Russel bounced back nicely, showed much promise as sophomore 2 yrs ago.. Gaines showed again some ma/mon-ster run stopping moves . surprised Buggs didn't show up..
- Z.Allen showed some struggles with anchor/balance again, but the guy just never stops playing. Nelson didn't play much but looked very good again and is becoming one of my favourite DE options outside 1st round. Adding Cominsky to my watchlist (if any tape available..
- J.Johnson had a very good game, Adderley came to play, Moreland, Lonnie, Ya Sin had nice moments as well
- The one guy Id have no hesitations to draft (if i had no Develin) is Ingold. Id use him everywhere - offense, defence, special teams - and to handle some off the field business as well..
