Long story short, if you were going to build a tackle in a lab, Brown is basically the perfect specimen. Doesn’t necessarily mean he is a finished product. He needs time and I think this year is make or break.

Poyer is from Oregon I believe. I’m thinking Raiders or Niners. west coast…maybe they live in Florida. I dont do the instagram stuff

it’s a composite score that molds together size, speed, strength as a projection at his position. Just to add, Spencer Brown’s 3 cone drill was better than Zay McKenzie’s at 6-8, 311. That’s a short area agility and change of direction score.

Nah I disagree. I really could not care less what he does. I actaully think there are better players to be had in the draft and FA. His career was nowhere before he got here, he became something here and if he goes to Miami he will 100% regret it and get cut in the next 2 years. Sometimes the fit is more important than a lot of the other ancillary parts.

Sounds like the pitch for Brokeback Mountain 2

These guys should just look over at Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson and read the situation. Poyer is a difference maker in this defense. He may not be a difference maker elsewhere. Sure he will get a bag, but his career will toil in relative obscurity and he will be cut in two years. And seriously, people are afraid of the Dolphins?

Does Barkley give up 5 to Elam? Greg Rousseau wore 15 in college. Perhaps if Kumerow is not back.

I use that every day. Love it

In terms of his blocking, I give him a little bit of a pass because he didn’t do much blocking at Boise because he was always the one with the ball. I think for a guy who played as much as he did in college was coming in a just a but raw. I think he will come around. He is a really good athlete (terrible 3 cone is probably why he dropped in the draft) and plenty strong with 16 bench reps. It’s likely a footwork/timing repetition thing.

If there is a silver lining to Shakir being on the bench a bunch and dropping that pass against Miami, he seems like the type of dude who is going to put in the level of work needed to make sure that never happens again.

Some more Jack Campbell…literally doing things in run and coverage I have never seen TE do. The zone drop, coming off his primary responsibility and picking the ball off is Luke Kuechly type stuff. I think he will blow up the combine a little. People kind of brand him the dreaded “lunch pail” moniker that implies he is unathletic. I think he is more athletic than people think. I want this player on my team.

Anyone else remember Dog Boy on MTV’s liquid television?

Ralph? That you?

If JP Losman turned into a good coach, the sky is the limit for pretty much everyone else with a pulse.

Honestly this probably wins the thread. It is hard to operate a salary cap if the entire defense is first round picks with eventual 5th year options or guys on second contracts. There has to place somewhere where you can find cheap starters, and off ball linebacker is probably one of the better places to find guys cheap. Offensively that place is running back and slot WR. Finally, I will say that this regime needs to stop paying a premium for special teams production. Like everyone else does, simply use backup linebackers, DBs, and WRs to do the job. Maybe splurge on one guy, not 3-4.

I think he started as a true freshmen at USC, so came out pretty young. It is crazy.

I don’t think he is going anywhere, but just for semantics, Diggs for CeeDee Lamb…who says no? I think it’s close

Yeah I think they will go vet, but not dirt cheap vet, middle/high tier. Germaine Pratt, Drue Tranquill, Cole Holcomb, Leighton Vander Esch, Anthony Walker Jr, Bobby Okereke…any of those guys can come in, don the green dot make the calls etc. They also fit the scheme. One outside the box trade idea is Zaven Collins…I’m guessing the Gannon is going to want to bring TJ Edwards over to run his defense. Maybe Collins becomes available. I think there a couple of guys in the draft who could step right in an start right away, make all the calls and have the trust of the staff right away and those are Campbell, Simpson, Sewell. The rest of the guys probably won’t be able to step right in as a starter right away, that’s just my opinion. I think, if Edmunds is gone, one of those guys is probably his replacement, young vets or rookies.

Yep thats my guy. I been flooding this board with that suggestion. Love Pratt.

His workout numbers imply that he should be able to play there with a 4.44 forty and a big time 3 cone.

I really want them to sign Germaine Pratt. He just brings something different. To me he seems like a missing piece type player who brings toughness and passion. In an ideal world you find a way to get DeAndre Hopkins.

100%. They also continued to draft guys like AJ Klein and used a first round pick on Shaq Thompson.

Yeah I like this. Whenever he plays against us he wreaks havoc. Not much of a base end, but if he get out there on 3rd downs and rush the passer opposite Von, I think it helps and takes a little pressure off the rest of the guys.

Lindstrom is playing on the 5th year option. Love this guy and a perfect fit, but the Bills would have to trade for him. How likely that is? I’m not sure, unless he says he wants out, or they need to clear cap to add an expensive veteran qb like Carr or Rodgers…I think they extend him.

I don’t think Jackson is tendered. As the season wore on it was clear he was really no longer in their plans. I don’t think anyone in the league will pay him 2.6 million and give up a 7th round pick. Unless they have good knowledge that there is a team out there switching to a zone scheme with loads of picks and cap space see him as a starter. He would be grossly overpaid for his role here, especially considering they will likely add depth in the draft. Backup vet corners make about 1 million to 1.5 a year. In that same vein, Siran Neal is overpaid as well.
