2024 NFL Draft Thread (Continued..)

Me

A hard no on Penix, or Nix for that matter.

 

[JohnJH]

Why wouldn't Daniels and Williams want to throw at the combine?

That would concern me. They are either A. Concerned about hurting their draft stock or B. To me, they're exhibiting a bit of 'I'm all that and a bag of chips without having proved it in the NFL" mentality, which would also concern me.

 

[JohnJH]

We could really use a player like that who can do that in the NFL with regularity.

Good take on McCarthy from Daniel Jeremiah
Sounds like the traits needed in the NFL

J.J. McCarthy draws an interesting player comparison from Daniel Jeremiah

If he could be a doesn't get even remotely seriously /often injured and even stronger armed Alex Smith (if not better in other respects as well), I'm in!!!

I love Troy RB Kimani Vidal in the 6th-7th round (if he even lasts that long.) Bowling ball at 5’8 215 lb with breakaway speed (though inconsistent) and quickness. Natural hands as a receiver. Has adequate frame/strength to develop as a pass protector. Nice contact balance. Good production throughout his 4 year tenure. Sun Belt OPOY.

They have absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose

They have absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose

That was my thinking. It doesn't make for a good impression if I'm drafting for my team.

Got a feeling McCarthy is going to make himself some money.

Rough class. I've liked Ulofoshio for a while I really like his game.
Top 60
Cooper/Gray

Top 100
Ulofoshio/Colson/Wilson (depending on medicals)

Darius Muasau

Tough year if you need a Saf, RB, LB

Cooper is very interesting. When I watch him he's got fixable problems. Shoot out a cannon, explosive, quick trigger. Much better firing downhill. Not the best handling OL but I think he'd be a great project for Mayo. He's got a lot of room to grow in so many areas but is downhill demon. I like Gray and Colston. Ulofoshio is very versatile and plays like his hair is on fire. Muasau except for his lack of size/athleticism looks like a very solid player. Very efficient, great footwork, ability to scrape. Big time communicator. Always on time never caught off guard. Tough group if you need an immediate starter.

I like Cooper’s athleticism and versatility. 8 sacks..nice.

If that is the case, we should be drafting a QB at 3 or 4.

Brian Hoyer says Patriots should keep Mac Jones, draft a wide receiver with No. 3 pick

Former Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer said Tuesday that the Patriots should start Mac Jones and draft a receiver with No. 3 pick.

[The Gr8est]

I am really liking the idea of JJ with a small trade back.

All of the top QBs have flaws.

JJ seems to have the brains and leadership ability to go along with the required physical assets, and with a year or two to sit and watch and add body weight he could be the best QB in the draft.

If not, then the pick(s) acquired from the trade back give you more bites at the apple.

 

[JohnJH]

If that is the case, we should be drafting a QB at 3 or 4.

Despite the bust rate for 1st Round QB's (or any player drafted high for that matter), there is probably going to be a couple of QB's drafted high that will pan out. So, as the Duke of Wellington once stated "Sometimes you have to cut cards with the Devil". I won't fault the team for taking Drake Maye at #3 just because he does have legit potential and is young enough to sit for a year or even two while they hopefully build up the rest of the offense. This is going to be a 3 to 5 year rebuild (and that's if done properly). I was a fan in the 70's right up until we won of 1st SB (and we mostly sucked the years before). I, as have other fans of my age, have learned to be patient, and if we see legit progress, it'll prove to be worth it.

I just hope teams start seeing a lot of flaws in Williams, or they start listening to Merrill Hoge who thinks he's a flop. Ideally teams will pass on him and drop him right into our laps.

I actually hope that it's the opposite. That one of the two teams drafting ahead of us value Daniels more and Maye is there for us at #3. I have a lot of reservations regarding Daniels. But, as it's always a crap shoot, he could turn out to be the real deal. But, I'd rather have Maye (who's a couple to three years younger) and has a bigger frame and stronger arm. He's also very mobile for a pocket passer.
