That’s Kerby Joseph from Illinois

Is there a more obvious connection than Miami’s Bubba Bolden? Really good measurables at the safety position, highly touted recruit out of HS, Manny Diaz’s defensive QB. Good height-weight-speed and will be available later in the draft because he’s undervalued and coming off injury. Ran 4.47 and has been tutored by Ed Reed the last few years. At the very least would be core specials teams guy off the bat and a guy you could groom as a safety with some pedigree.

Only DB I could find in this draft who played baseball is Kaiir Elam. If anyone knows of anyone else, I would be curious.

Eagles again? Giants? Texans

Yep great points. I do think their next safety could come from the corner position, but I could see why they are interested in this class of safeties. I knew Poyer because he played in the Senior Bowl and Charles Davis loved him and raved about him. And he was #1 on Mel’s best available for like 3 rounds.

Remember that when it came to the safety position, Hyde and Poyer were both super under the radar. Poyer was a Eagles 7th round pick, a slow corner turned safety by the Browns coming off a really bad injury. Hyde was a 5th round slow corner who essentially played nickel for Green Bay and we converted him to full time safety. So when it comes to the safety position I will trust the process and I don’t think their next safety has to be of the high profile variety.

I still think a Reilly Reiff type could be had cheap. Can play LT, RT and guard. And I think he would be a positive presence as a vet and chase a ring. Depth is a need, but there is a lot of depth in the draft and there are still a bunch of cheap vets out there

@GunnerBill the more I watch Booth the more I fall in love

At this point I would do the Bradberry trade. It feels like we are going to get locked out of the good corners and I think the move would be a salary dump for the Giants anyway.

This was great. Thanks @Virgil

Man I really thought you were gonna take the punter here 😉

Oh yeah there is definitely much too much space in my brain being spent on draft stuff. There is some truth to that for sure. Totally get it. And I know what you meant there. I am interested to see how this draft might go in the middle rounds. Seems like it could go in a million different directions

I appreciate the take for sure. I just don't love this draft very much. Feels very meh to me, and as we go through the mock draft it feels even more meh. I do think that will add cheap veteran depth at those positions.

No offense taken. People have opinions. To me, with the choices available, it makes sense. I get what you are saying, but there is nothing that I am seeing that is telling me Walker is any better than Doyle. What does Metchie really bring to the table that is that much more interesting than the depth guys in house to justify using a third? With our offense, and defense, a punter who can flip the field, honestly, could make the team impossible to stop. Teams already have to play catchup with the Bills offense, if they have to go a longer way it makes the team that much more dangerous. Let's see what happens, but I think Araiza is going in the third.

I would say third after James and Bates. The thing with Poyer is that i think he is scheme dependent. If he goes somewhere else, I don't think he will be as good.

They also had Lewis Cine and Nick Cross in for a visit

Jets still need a QB too

But they are both under contract for just one year, so TE is a sneaky need

I agree. But neither Walker or Metchie would be close to starting for this team. I am saying, based on the strength of this draft and the options that are on the board right now, I would really consider the punter. Call me crazy.

So I understand what Walker brings to the table and what he provides. What does Metchie really bring? As we matriculate through this draft, you can kind of see why someone is going to take Ariaza in the 3rd. Especially all of these teams with multiple picks and all these comp picks at the end of the round. I voted Walker, but I’d rather have the best punter in the league than John Metchie

off the top of my head: maybe LB Brian Asamoah LB Damone Clark S Nick Cross CB Cordale Flott

Epenesa took a lot of time to really get going at Iowa, so I am hoping he burst on to the scene a bit this year. He might just be a guy who needs time to adjust.

Also, there are guys on that list who are contributors for other teams as well. Wyatt Teller is an all pro guard Tanner Vallejo turned into an excellent special teams guy Ray Ray is a starting return man in the league Phillips got big money from the Vikings Daryll Johnson was traded for a pick Peterman has hung around the league somehow Fromm, Wildgoose, and Jack Anderson were plucked off our practice squad and put on main rosters Not to mention UDFAs like Levi Wallace who became a starter and turned it into money. Or Ryan Bates who came in a preseason trade and as just extended. They likely wanted him as an UDFA for them to make that move. They have done an exceptional job.

Browser history joke was just so underrated and subtle. I loved it.

Oh that's a good one. I thought about him for the Eagles.
