frostbitmic Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 I went with Phillips. I want someone who can disrupt games by getting to the QB. Addison and Hughes are getting long in the tooth and aren't the pass rushers they used to be. They both could hit the wall any day and inserting Phillips to go with Epenesa could be the way to go. 1

NewEra Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 So our first pick will be a guy that will be drafted top 20. 😞

Chase Claypool had a nice enough rookie year..... EDIT: And didn't Zack Martin go there too? So that is the TWO best guards in the entire league...... and Ronnie Stanley... I mean they are pretty much OLine U. Edited March 28, 2021 by GunnerBill
Dont Stop Billeiving Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Picked JOK who became one of my favorite ND players of all time. Has been a joy to watch him play every Saturday for the past couple years. He has rare ability, watching him cover/run with Amari Rogers in the slot was unreal. If he's gone (which I expect him to be), I think the value pick is likely CB, but I'd be extremely tempted by either Toney or Etienne. A huge injection of speed/youth/YAC ability for our offense with either player.

He has been a top 5 safety in the NFL for a decade. Who are the big Notre Dame busts in the last decade? Teo comes to mind but who else?

He already retired from football once and has an extensive injury history. That's not a McDermott player. He could fall to our pick in the 2nd and we'd still pass on him. Expand I've heard that he loves his music more than football. Good player but I don't think he is the type to bond with Buffalo. 1

Brandt has him 45th. I've seen other mocks going him 26th to Cleveland. It is not impossible. Anyway, even if this was unrealistic, this poll gives us some idea where TBD stands in terms of Phillips/Etienne/Harris/Campbell/Toney preferences... 1
JimmyNoodles Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 I can’t see in interest in JOK. We already have an undersized LB. I don’t see him in round one at all.
