P51 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 The Dream! I Traded our 2nd for Denver's 2nd round pick & 3rd round comp pick. (2-12 for 2-19 & 3-37). CBS Board. 10: R1P10 LB REUBEN FOSTER ALABAMA 51: R2P19 S OBI MELIFONWU CONNECTICUT 75: R3P11 QB PATRICK MAHOMES II TEXAS TECH 101: R3P37 WR ZAY JONES EAST CAROLINA 156: R5P12 EDGE DEVONTE FIELDS LOUISVILLE 171: R5P27 CB JALEN MYRICK MINNESOTA 195: R6P11 K ZANE GONZALEZ ARIZONA STATE Dare to dream!! I watched Jalen Myrick again last week while watching Wisc. and Wash. St., excellent bump and run CB, stays in phase on go's down the sideline, good job maintaining zone disciplines, competitive on a down by down basis, good CoD skills. Late locating the ball more than one would like, but has natural field speed that will match his track speed at the combine. Reminds me of Ron Brooks, but better general awareness on the field, love him in the 5th round range as a sub package guy that can handle spot duty on the perimeter. Can help in the return game is a bonus. Can we ring the NFL tell them they don't need to do the real draft we will take this one? No answer... Ill try back later. Quote

No thank you. Quote

No thank you. Foster can play all 3 LB spots, he's not limited to ILB. Ragland could be the Sam or ILB in base D, Foster could as well, and Foster's athletic enough to be the WILL as well, he would actually upgrade the position as a whole and provide tremendous flexibility at the LB core. Foster would not have to leave the field no matter the situation, they could run base D in passing situations potentially. Quote

BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Is Foster a pass rusher? Don't we have Hughes, Lawson, Worthy, and Washington for that? This isn't a 3-4 anymore... Quote
mannc Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 My point is that I would never use a premium pick on a linebacker who is not an edge rusher. Quote
BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 My point is that I would never use a premium pick on a linebacker who is not an edge rusher. Do you think Patrick Willis or Luke Kuechly were worth their picks? Foster is drawing those comparisons from some scouts. Quote
P51 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Is Foster a pass rusher? He is a capable blitzer, I wouldn't call him a classic edge rushing LB, but I've seen him create pressure up the middle and get the edge off the edge and take a QB down, he's twitchy and fast enough that he's an very effective delay blitzer. The only drafting pass rushers theory gets you Gaines Adams or Jamal Anderson instead of Patrick Willis or Lawrence Timmons. If all things are equal, pass rusher or LB like I believe it's close this year with Foster and Garrett, then I would also go with Garrett, but if it's between Foster and the field of Passrushers other wise (maybe sub S. Thomas) it's Foster for me all day long, his over all skill set is that good IMO per my evaluations. The same as I would take Luke Keuchly over any pass rusher in the 2012 draft, hindsight included.

mannc Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Do you think Patrick Willis or Luke Kuechly were worth their picks? Foster is drawing those comparisons from some scouts. My original statement was probably a bit too broad. For example, I would almost never use a premium pick on a RB, but Zeke Elliott is an exception to that rule. Given the steep investment in Ragland, who is still an unknown, Foster seems like a luxury pick we cannot afford, but I suppose it would depend who else was still on the board. Quote
Chuck Wagon Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Folks may as well get themselves familiar with the corner prospects. Quote
Pbomb Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Seems like alot of good cb prospects, might be able to find some decent ones in rounds 3-5. Mahomes in the third i think is highly unlikely, i bet his stock keeps rising to a first rounder Quote

26CornerBlitz Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 @ChaseGoodbread Lions GM Bob Quinn on Joe Mixon: "It's really disappointing that he's not here." Confirmed Mixon is still on #Lions draft board. @ChrisBurke_SI Lions GM Bob Quinn's full comment on Joe Mixon not being invited to the combine: Quote
CommonCents Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Most looking forward to seeing how Fournette looks, is he the next Trent Richardson? I was so high on him just last year but he worries me. Quote
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 WGR's Jeremy white said the most talked about prospect is QB Sam Darnold being a rare talent, even though he is not eligible till 2018. (take notes Bloksey ) Quote
