Knox future here is uncertain. The better Knox does, the more expensive keeping him will be after this season. With the big money being shelled out Allen, Miller, Diggs, White, and others extensions...and more contracts coming due for Poyer, Edmunds, Oliver, Knox, Devin, Davis, etc...we are not going to be able to keep everyone. Who gets kept and who leaves in FA or gets traded before that are all a mystery today. So I don't think its out of the question they could take a TE, although I am skeptical they would take one early THIS year given we are set with OJ and Knox this season with bigger needs or positions that are a lot thinner on the depth chart. Just saying its not impossible if they are concerned about being able to afford to keep Knox after this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slated to go right around their #25 pick, so someone certainly to keep an eye on. However, the scouting reports I've seen say he's a better fit in man than zone schemes.

Shake_My_Head Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 9 hours ago, gonzo1105 said: 2nd tier CB prob round 2 This guy's intriguing. Sounds like a clone of Levi Wallace. Per Dane Brugler (The Athletic): SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Mississippi State, Emerson was the left cornerback in defensive coordinator Zach Arnett’s man-and-zone scheme. Despite a mediocre college résumé (never earned All-SEC honors and logged only one interception), he was consistently one of the top coverage players in the SEC during the last two seasons. Emerson is a good-sized athlete with the length (33 1/2" arms!), toughness and coverage awareness that will translate well to the next level. While he can jam and be disruptive from press, he lacks ideal pedal fluidity and change of direction in man coverage, struggling to make up the lost steps when overaggressive. Overall, Emerson lacks quick-twitch athleticism and functional play strength, but he shows a natural feel for spacing and disruption in zone coverage. He has NFL starting potential, ideally suited in a Cover-2 or Cover-3 scheme. GRADE: 5th Round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's great against the run and could be Poyer's replacement next year. Per Dane Brugler (The Athletic): STRENGTHS: Rangy with the stride speed to cover a lot of grass … has the top gear to cover over the top … smooth-hipped and transfers weight cleanly to change direction mid-pedal … feels routes coming and shows a natural feel for coverage angles (only one touchdown pass allowed) … triggers downhill in zone and closes with short-area burst … highly physical and strokes ball carriers across the middle of the field … widens his feet at contact and keeps his hands extended as a tackler … understands timing and committed only one penalty in 2021 (pass interference vs. Florida) … executes situational football and takes coaching well (head coach Kirby Smart: “When you design a safety, he’s got all the qualities … he’s really been a student of the game.”) … production improved each season … durable and played in all 39 games the past three seasons. SUMMARY: With his range, explosiveness and appetite for contact, Cine is a do-everything safety and led a talent-rich Georgia defense in both tackles and passes defended in 2021. Although he has room to tidy up his tackling technique, he is at his best as a physical run defender, running the alley like a freight train and tuning up his target. Overall, Cine lacks ideal size by NFL standards and has marginal ball skills, but he is an enforcer vs. the run with the athleticism in coverage to make plays. He is an ascending talent with NFL starting skills, similar to Xavier McKinney as a prospect. GRADE: 1st-2nd Round (No. 33 overall) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRADE: 5th Round I think Emerson will go earlier than 5th, but most reports I’ve seen have similar criticisms of his speed and quickness and that is a big concern at CB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeney (even if he survives the season) would be a FA in 2023 as well. They have zero tight ends under contract for next year.

I’ve seen a scouting report that states he doesn’t have good recovery speed. That means once he’s burnt, he stays burnt. Not exactly something that makes me feel warm and fuzzy with receivers like waddle and hill in the division. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
