Innitially I was against this but I think I'm on board now if he makes it that far. He is a legit top 10 talent. Someone we won't have a shot at anytime soon without the injury. If you have a shot at the next Fletcher Cox isn't it worth waiting a year for? Having a 3 technique of that caliber for the next decade to me is worth it. I'll take that any day over a guy like Willis who will play right away but will never be a star more than likely.
On the third day. I'm on board. In the second round? Fuck no. I get that his not being a starter was about character but that's a serious red flag. And his stats were mediocre with a weak schedule. I don't dislike the player but I dislike him with how early I think he will be picked.
Thornhill is the only one that doesn't disturb me.
That's what I'm thinking. His attitude and reported lack of desire would be enough for me to pass on him. Smells like Irving and Gregory. If this causes him to freefall I'd take him in the fifth.
Ferguson is a cupboard-bare type pick for me.
Yeah Hill and Willis in the second round would be big reaches to me. One wasn't even a starter and the other isn't that good. I'll take Ferguson over them because I at least don't feel like he is a reach where we pick. Still his lack of athletic ability is startling to me.
I would be quite happy with that haul.
It's hard because you know we will pick some guys that we haven't shown public interest in. But there is no way of having any idea of who those guys are. And you know we will pick some guys who visited and we showed interest in. So it's just easier to fill the draft with those guys rather than attempting to pick a name out of the blue.
Yes, but the whole class? Doubtful.
It's like picking the NCAA basketball tourney and picking all favorites. Odds are those are the teams that win but everyone knows the tourney never goes that way. Only idiots pick the tournament and just choose the higher seed the whole way.
