Depends on what you're asking of fournette.. get him in a one cut and go zone blocking scheme and dude will do work




And you got Cunningham over foster?

 

[651akathepaul]

And that's why Fournette is overrated. He can't be a top RB prospect if he's only successful in the right system and fits what he's asked in a particular role on a team.

Yes, I'd take Cunningham before Foster.

Not a whole lote I disagree with in that list.


Random I like is Webb.

I disagree on the CBs.. top 3, I got lattimore and then the 2 UF guys.. then Sidney jones.. need to see the speed on some of the guys though.. not a fan of the bama dude

edge guys depend on the defense you run whether tim Williams is above Solomon and barnett



saw a report that 4 QBs might go in the 1st, going need that to happen

CBs are scheme dependant, all that is suggestive to me. Agree with dude from Bama though.

Agreed I need 4 QBs to go for sure, need one of the DEs to drop to the Dolphins. They have to get lucky again and grab one of the better one's. Hoping for Barnett personally.

Founette's best fit is in a gap/power system like at LSU.  He's at his best when going North and South, and what makes him special is his acceleration at his size.   

ZBS schemes (specially schemes that run a lot of OZ) need guys that move well laterally, and that have patience and vision as a runner, which is not his game. 

Fournette's hands are not terrible, and he has enough mass to develop as + pass protector.  He's not a one dimensional RB prospect. 

 

[IATT]

I don't think he's one dimensional at all.. but it all depends what you ask of him

I see him as a better running version of Demarco Murray.. not sure of him as a pass catcher

But he doesn't fit what the eagles need out of our system, if we can't get cook in the 1st.. we'd be better off waiting on other guys later on, like if mccaffrey made it to the 2nd

 

[Bobby Layne]

I was referring to 651's post with the second statement, my bad.

 

[jjs07]

Joe Mixon is the best RB in this draft. I know the Skins have a lot of defensive needs, and should still focus the majority of their picks on guys on that side of the ball...but, I wouldn't be mad if they used their 2nd round pick on Mixon. This guy has the potential to be elite on the next level. If EVERYTHING character-wise checks out, he'd be a great gamble.

I feel you, I need qbs to push some guys down to 8. If Adams and Fournette are gone, we probably take Barnett at 8. I know some people are down on his athleticism but his production speaks for itself.

^ y'all like us on defense, if Barnett and Solomon are there gotta consider em..

You don't want the OSU safety?

And don't y'all not value secondary?






And JJ, you not a fan of cook?

For y'all I'd say he's easily the best back in the draft.. for certain other teams it's fournette

I wouldn't mind Hooker, its just currently Adams is a better fit. Coleman has been a better FS for us than SS but was forced to play SS most of the year. With Adams, Coleman could move back to FS.

We don't, well not nearly as much as our front but they've been trying to get a starting SS for awhile. And Tre Boston should NEVER be a teams starter. But at the same time our DEs could use a serious upgrade.

I like Cook, but not enough to send a 1st round pick on him due to the Skins' needs. They HAVE to bolster the defense. ILB/S need to be the first guys off the board for them. I'd like to think that Mixon will be there in round 3, but I have a feeling he'll be gone by then. Dude has too much talent to ignore.

I get ya.. honestly can wait til after the 3rd to grab a RB with the depth of the class

SWAG didn't get invited. 

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Wonder how healthy he is

 

[IATT]

saw on twitter it was for off the field stuff

 

[Bobby Layne]

Wonder how healthy he is

Probably not healthy enough to participate.

Still would have been beneficial for him to go through the medical exam and interviews though.

Anyone know what round it looks like kendel beckwith might go?

 

[Deleted member 37754]

Mids starting at 3rd.
I figure end of 3rd to 5th is his range.

Am I crazy for thinking that I'd try out Malik Hooker at corner first just to see if he could do it?

other #mildtake

Tim Willams best fit is as a 4-3 off the ball SAM who moves down in your sub-packages.  I'm praying dude falls to the Lions.
