Draft Prospects

[Utah John]

I think I saw that Spencer Brown played LT against the Pats, as he did against the Panthers.  The difference is against the Pats we never heard his name called.  If huge Spencer Brown can play LT, then huger Faalele can play RT.  I'll bet a nickel that means Singletary suddenly becomes one of the best RBs in the league.

Not only is Faalele a monster, he has excellent feet and once he locks on to you, it’s over. It’s precisely what we need.

Give me some of the Utes linemen

I didn’t realize Micah Parsons played MLB his last season at Penn State and ran a 4.36 40 yard dash. Holy hell. I would’ve been all for trying to trade up to get him. Maybe Edmunds and the #30 pick could’ve got it done if he’s valued highly around the league like some here believe.

I'll start with, I am NOT a college football guy. I do plan on trying to watch some today though. For you that are, As we wrap up the Bowl games, have your opinions changed at all on some players? Any suggestions on who to watch today? Potential draft picks to pay attention to?

I've got my eye on Iowa-Kentucky today to get a final look at C Tyler Linderbaum of Iowa - though I doubt he falls to us.

[SCBills]

Currently projected late 1st Round in areas we could be looking at:

 

Kenyon Green - OG - Texas A&M

 

Trevor Penning - OT - Northern Iowa

 

Treylon Burks - WR - Arkansas 

 

Drake London - WR - USC

 

I hear people saying we could draft the best OL on the board with our pick, regardless of position.   I think we’re set at LT/RT for a while with Dawkins & Brown, but I’ll trust the coaches to sort that all out.  
 

On Defense, there’s a few EDGE & CB’s projected late 1st.  Jordan Davis seems to be the only defensive guy we may be persuaded to take, but he’s in the teens on most draft boards.

Yeah, likely will only be available for us if we lose in rd 1.

If Penning is there I am drafting him and putting Dawkins inside.

During the broadcast last night, I heard Davis at #22, probably Kiper/McShay, not sure. I'm a Dawgs' fan, so I likely overrate UGA players, but he sure seems like a perfect fit. There's a ton of talent on that D. I also think George Pickens the big WR whose been hurt all year might be a draft steal if his stock falls because of the injury that has kept him off the field most of the season.

Davis looks massive. I started to watch the game. Didn't he come out for the coin toss? I think it was him and I said, Holy crap. He just made everyone else look small. 😱

6'6", listed at 340 lbs, but he's bigger than that -- and fast and athletic.

Linderbaumb might be available when when pick, and you know how McD loves his wrestlers.

Just looked him up and read little.  He supposed to be the best center in the draft. Nice pick. I think your right. Probably won't fall to us at 32.😉. I did see he is around 290. Isn't that a little light in the shorts? What about the Patterson kid from ND?

He’s going too 12 at worst. Supposed to be a lock all pro center for the next decade

Gunner, I thought the same all season. Penning/Brown bookends would be awesome, but I’ll save that thought until after the combine. If Breece Hall runs a 4.4 or less , he’s my choice. I’ll draft a Nick Ford or Dohnovan West later to replace Morse and keep Dawkins outside. Josh and the Bills need a dynamic RB who can do it in the run and pass game. Hall is the closest thing to Jonathan Taylor in this draft with better receiving ability. The Bills need this playmaker

Don’t take a RB in the first round.

He may be rated the 10-12th best prospect. But Center is a devalued position in the draft. 

 

No Center has been drafted higher than 18 in the last 10 years... And 5 times in the last 10 drafts no Center has been taken in the 1st round... 

 

He very well could go before we pick... But he might slide bc of the devaluation of the position.

[Dkollidas]

If he’s there. Give me Jordan Davis round 1.

 

If not I think they’ll draft an IOL or WR. 
 

could also see them trading back if there’s no one they’re thrilled about when they pick. 

their current roster will only get more expensive and this is a deep class as well.

he’s kinda like Quentin Nelson who was the highest taken guard ever. You pick this guy and don’t worry about that position for a decade.

He's not a mauler like Nelson. He's on the medium / small side for Centers. For him to go top 10 he's going to need a killer combine, imo. If he's not 90th + percentile, I could see him falling to mid-late 1st round.

He was DEMOLISHING Michigan's pocket on nearly every play, even when doubled.

[JGMcD2]

Some of my favorite guys for 2022… 
 

Trevor Penning OT, Northern Iowa

 

Ahmad Gardner CB, Cincinnati 

 

Trent McDuffie CB, Washington

 

Daniel Faalele OT, Minnesota 

 

Kyler Gordon CB, Washington

 

Alec Pierce WR, Cincinnati 

Velus Jones Jr. WR, Tennessee 

 

Clint Ratkovich H-Back, NIU

I watched some of his highlights. He is a monster! Can't believe how fast he is being that big. Question though, will he be available for us to draft and would we do it in Rnd 1?

I haven't seen a lot of him but my initial thoughts are similar on top 10. He is a more finesse center which means to an extent he is a bit of a scheme fit. Nelson could have plugged and played in any offense in the league. I think he'd be absolutely sensational for a team like the Rams. But put him on the Titans and I think you'd be left wanting more. 

 

Is top 10 possible? Yep. But it isn't a lock. Once the draft order is settled will be easier to get a sense of where his floor and ceiling picks are.

It's amazing how many myopic people think that you have to take a RB in Round 1 to get a 'dynamic' player. It's so blatantly false and a not a great use of a top asset. The OL-needy Steelers foolishly eschewed that need and took Najee Harris instead.

I started my research with CB'S. I like McDuffie as well. Looked into Faalele and Penning a little as well because their names keep coming up. I'll have to check out the rest. Thank You!

[Mat68]

Take the best guy.  Oline, Dline, lb, Db skill player.  Any area could use an improvement.  Personally, Db would make sense.  Would also consider skill player as well.

I agree with this. That kid is a monster. I'd even try and slide up to get him.

 

I think they go after IOL in FA. Some really solid players should be here...providing they fall don't resign with their current teams.

I honestly really hope we draft Faalele. He moves so well for how big he is. Him at RG next to Brown would be amazing.

Likely not.

Here's my consolation:  John Ridgeway from Arkansas.  Probably available in round 3 or 4, former wrestler, about 325.  He played solid in the Outback Bowl vs PSU.  Lunch pail guy.  Can't quite crunch the pocket like Davis, but really hard to move, even when doubled, and you can't run right at him.
