Sponge Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Probably trade down 8-10 spots and still get Ford plus a 3rd rd pick. But I love every player in your mock. mtldirtybird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade C Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 The Vikings will take Ford for sure f we do not. Hate to have Vic face him 1st game out of the shoot. Detroit_Falcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takeitdown Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yeah obviously if we could get ford and Lawrence without trading up that would be excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD-FalconFan13 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) I like Ford, but as I've done more review, he's not a better RT prospect than several guys that would be available. If were looking for an RT and are deadset on one at #14 then Risner is the best choice. As a Tackle prospect he's worlds better than Ford in run blocking and pass protection.

Falcons_Frenzy Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Ford and Lawrence I love it. Get a big nasty on each line. Just what the Falcons need. I like the other picks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t mind a trade back and picking him up. Then pairing him with a Max Scharping. I think Scharping would transition better as a RG.

What he lacks in experience he makes up for i raw ability IMO. You cannot teach nastiness and on film BIG men are running away from him instead of focusing on the ball carrier/coverage for fear of him getting his hands ion them. I want that tone-setting toughness on the right side of our line where we have not had it for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about raw ability is that it is usually enough at the college level, but it more often than not quickly gets exposed in the NFL. He won't have the massive size and strength advantage he did in college in the pros. He'll be going against world class athletes that pair amazing ability with sound technique. Just being able to out muscle the guy in front of you only works but so often. I get his upside, but if we're looking for a guy to come in from Day 1 and lock down the RT position, Risner is certainly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's held his own against the best in this year's draft. Watch his tape against Alabama. Watch Risner's tape against Miss State. Both could be exposed at the next level, both could excel. I prefer Ford due to his ability, size and nastiness. If we took Risner I would not be unhappy, just prefer Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade C Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 and Ford was contributing factor. Like I said, Risner is a good player, just prefer Ford for the reasons given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
