If they trade down, maybe, but huge risk at 9. Unless he is the second coming of Julio - which there is nothing saying he is remotely close to that - then you have to take a safe, plug-and-play starter on the O or Dline.
I can't believe the NFLPA likes (and/or campaigned for) the setup of 'Phase One.'
It's basically stretching, and the offense playing catch. Defense will just be high-fiving and slapping butts all day. They can't even touch a ball per the rules. That is just silly.
Not sure about him at 9 if he projects as a guard. Too rich. For me the only linemen you spend a top 10 pick on is a legit LT - can maybe be talked into a RT,
He better get real chummy with Cole (or anyone over the intermediate middle of field).
Daboll should be able to dial up vertical routes and make the LB's respect Allen's legs and then there should be gaping holes in the D over the middle and RB wheel routes. If he can hit those passes it's going to be a fun offense for once.
You can have 90 guys at training camp and I think they want as many kicks at the can with all of these lower-risk/lower-cost OLinemen to get the "best 5". They will end up cutting some of these guys.
I tend to think he’d be a top 2 pick and prob first QB? If that is “true” then we have a guy that typically would be top of draft and now with one year of NFL experience. Not a bad place to be at the position.
This is absolutely true. Either way, if you have your board set and you project an LT to be franchise, then you do what you need to do with Dawkins. LB has to be addressed either way. I am literally on board for BPO.
