DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official Draft Day LIVE Discussion Thread - Night 2

[Deus Irae]

Hamler to the Broncos

 

[RobertWeathers]

I would love to know how many of those knocking the Dugger pick have watched a second of Dugger tape.

No one.

The kid is a big time athlete. Chung is on his last legs. This is not a Jordan Richards situation.

Logical pick.

 

[Ring 6]

Kyle Dugger, S/LB, Lenoir-Rhyne
Dugger is the premier small-school prospect in this draft class. At just under 6-foot-1 and 217 pounds with 4.49 speed, a 42-inch vertical, and a 134-inch broad jump, the physical comparisons start at Derwin James. And the Division II product played a James-type role with James-type results on the field.

Mostly utilized as a free safety at Lenoir-Rhyne, Dugger has range for days in coverage and good change-of-direction ability for someone his size to go along with the explosiveness he demonstrated at the combine. He flies up in run support, even between the tackles, and will get to the football on the outside.

Because of his size and length -- nearly 33-inch arms -- Dugger is a seam-throw stopper when running with tight ends, which might be his most valuable asset at the next level.

Many believe he's a linebacker in the NFL. I think he should be deployed as a back-end safety initially, but really, safeties, linebackers, and slot corners carry out many of the same responsibilities in the NFL today. The only noticeably ding on Dugger's draft profile is that he turns 24 later this month, but he has the instincts, towering physical presence, and athletic gifts to be a star in the NFL. He could sneak into Round 1 and is unlikely to get out of the second round.

Lol that some one rates a draft bio funny

 

[WaterfallJumper]

@Deus Irae called it. Winfield to TB.

Also, looks like a run on DBs.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Safety run. Now not so sure dugger would’ve lasted at 71.

 

[goheels22002]

not many people are going to be left on the board by the time we do pick

So what will Belichick draft if there are no people left?

 

[TheRainMaker]

Tom doesn’t fug around taking the name guy.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Tampa is killing this offseason...

 

[Deus Irae]

Observation. Did Antonie Winfield Jr beat the crap out of a bunch of dogs or like get popped with a bunch of guns or something? Not sure how he's still on the board...

Edit: ************ he's joining Brady.

The Bucs are getting the players they need.

 

[fightingirish595]

Bucs killing the draft. I thought winfield deserved some heisman hype

 

[primetime]

not many people are going to be left on the board by the time we do pick

There will be hundreds left on the board

 

[stcjones]

Tampa is killing this offseason...

Good GM there

 

[festy1986]

Safety run. Now not so sure dugger would’ve lasted at 71.

That's only half of the equation.

The other half is why this guy over some of others.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

wow Broncos WRs will be a problem. Hamler a stud

Was my only wish for tonight

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

The Broncos have the right idea with their "fans" on the screen

we’re not in Denver in 2020 right? Think that’s a home game at least.

 

[Kontradiction]

Welp there goes Hamler. Very good pick by the Broncos. He would have added some much needed speed to this offense that collectively has tank ass.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

I am the fan in the top row with the football BTW. In on this fan experience

 

[skinnydog]

No one.

Logical pick.

More like the opposite of Jordan. Everything I’ve read screams athlete about Dugger.

 

[stcjones]

Nice pick Broncos
