Bawse Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Trade down and get Pryor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioisCoolio Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 You go BPA, and thats Sammy Watkins. I know everyone would hate the pick, but you could draft lineman with each remaining pick. Some scouts say Sammy is the best prospect since Julio/AJ Green. You can't ignore that kind of talent.Some scouts are also saying that Aaron Donald is the next John Randle. Why is it ok to ignore that kind of talent? What's easier to find? A stud WR or 10 sacks a year from the DT position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioisCoolio Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Dimitroff traded a bunch of picks to have two pro bowl caliber WRs. If Watkins turns out to be a pro bowl/all pro caliber player along side Julio it's not a terrible pick. Passing on an all-pro type for an average player because they're a position of need is a terrible pick at #6 IMO. This time we wouldn't have to give up tons of picks to have two awesome WRs.Our lines weren't hot garbage when TD traded up to get Julio either.

A stud WR or 10 sacks a year from the DT position?Personally I'm sick of small gap shooting DTs, plus Donald doesn't really fit the 3-4 scheme we're transitioning to. I'm not opposed to anything this coaching staff does though. I think they'll make the right move, they've done pretty good job this offseason so far.

We run both 3-4 and 4-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Even if you consider it "reaching" if the top 4 guys are gone it really isnt based on what we need. I think the obvious targets are Barr if we want pass rusher, Lewan if we want OT. Wildcard would be Ebron. Would love Donald but I just dont see it after we added D-line a bunch in free agency.

Draftnut57 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What if Robinson, Matthews, Mack and Clowney are drafted ahead of us and we are not able to trade down? Who would you draft?Here is a short list of possibilities, in no particular order:1. Aaron Donald is the best defender on the board, but does he fit the scheme? He might, if Nolan puts his mind to it. 2. Eric Ebron is probably the best offensive weapon on the board. Tony was the greatest TE in NFL history, but he wasn't the greatest last season. EE would be an upgrade (heresy!!).3. Sammy Watkins is the best WR in this draft, but do we need another one, especially in a draft so deep in WR's?4. CJ Mosley is tempting, but ILB is not a drastic need.5. Anthony Barr is a terrific athlete, but is he tough enough to make a difference? I may be wrong, but from the little I have seen, he is not.6. Kony Ealy is a good looking 4-3 DE but he doesn't have much experience dropping into coverage. Does this matter?7. Dee Ford is an extremely quick pass rusher but can he play the run? Still, I like the idea of him chasing Brees and Newton.This is an easy answer, Trade down to 15 and take S. Pryor. Then load up with all the picks in the rest of the draft. Wed have to picks to move up and down and take what ever we want practically . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjv315 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Watkins. It's a solid pick that won't hurt us in any way, but I can only image these boards lighting up with fire and anger if Sammy's name is called with the Falcons at #6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draftnut57 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Lewan won't pass the Falcon filter....next.Bingo , and I'm glad we don't mess with those guys. Let somebody else lose a pick besides us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you really do not pay attention. Do I have to post pics of us in 3-4 and 4-3 sets last year for the 100th time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulioisCoolio Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 No but I can tell you our Hybrid defense last year couldn't stop anybody.Probably because the players sucked. You need players that can play a 3-4 and a 4-3 to run a hybrid. Did we have that last year? No, we didn't.It's also funny that you say this yet advocate taking Watkins #6 overall.

I advocate taking Watkins if Clowney, Mack etc are gone. Plus I look at it as rookies will start to become good in their 3rd or 4th years, which is exactly when we will need a replacement for Roddy.

RYNE Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Never in a million years are we going to draft Sammy Watkins. You can try to justify it until you are blue in the face. Forget it.People need to just get over that thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid plan you got there.You literally just said 'our defense couldn't stop anybody' but you want to take a receiver. How does that not sound just crazy in your mind?
