2027 Watch List

[One-If-By-Sea]

The Georgia tackling coach needs a pay rise. These guys hit hard.



More on Raylen Wilson

Very impressive to me. Thanks Manx.

 

[manxman2601]

There are 7 linebackers I would draft tomorrow as future starters for the Pats

Round One/top 50

These three are obvious (not in order)

Chris Cole
KVA
Sammy Brown

Day Two

MIKE

Ray Coney
Whit Weeks

WILL

Ben Roberts
Raylen Wilson


Beyond that, people like Sammy Omosigho, Arion Carter and Tony Rojas and others are more wait and see prospects.

 

[manxman2601]

Anthony Russo thinks Coney could be a first rounder.

Jaylen McClain, Safety, Ohio State
6-0, 201

Very strong 2025 grades.

Run defense - 77.6
Tackling - 87.0 (6.9% missed tackle rate)
Coverage - 77.1

I have a very simple rule. don't discount anyone from Ohio State.

McClain plays with free safety range and gets up in run support in a hurry. He'd compliment Woodson very well. The knock on him is ball production. Zero interceptions and only 2 PBUs. Both will need to improve for him to get strong draft attention.

That's up there with "Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line".

Paglia: Preseason NFL Draft 2027 Top 10 WR Prospects

We’re back for the third edition of the summer scouting series. This week, we’ll dive into a highly talented group. There’s a wide variety of skill sets in this list, from players who excel at creating separation to those who consistently convert contested chances. The top of this list is...

We're not in the market, hoping they all go 1st round.

 

[manxman2601]

Much as I like Charlie Becker, I do not want to be spending a day 1 or 2 pick on WR before 2029.

I think this comes down to whether Kyle Williams finds his feet this year. If he does, I'm 100% in agreement. If he doesn't, I'm not opposed to making a strength a bigger strength. Plus, you have a ready made replacement in place for Brown when he finishes.

I'm team defense in the first this year, but Becker, in the above scenario, and the two TEs are exemptions I'm willing to consider.

And Jordan Seaton. Gotta go OT again.

I'm all defense. Almost.

It all comes down to BPA. If we’ve signed a CB2 in FA, you can pick up a linebacker and safety on day 2 and Echols, Bolden and Cole are off the board, I’d definitely consider one of those offensive players (not Seaton though).

Gonna need to see more tape. He seemed... slow . running the routes..

Some new guys will undoubtedly emerge, but those would all be strong additions.
