Howie never goes into the draft with as many holes as he currently has. I don’t believe there are too many restructures that they can get done as well to free up cap space. No clue what they intend to do with those positions (DE/CB/S/LB/DT)

If Dean, Milton, and Jordan Davis can step up, would solve alot of issues. Also a good draft for cornerback.

Keion White at 10 is nutters. Unless he wrecks the combine.

And yet it still makes more sense than Kancey.

I don't know what the hell to do with White. You can see him covering RBs 40 yards downfield, which is impressive and all. But why in the world is he asked to do that? There are so many wasted Snaps.

I honestly think you just gotta bite the bullet and say "Cuz Georgia Tech". I'm super intrigued but the age kind of gives me a bit of reality check. The lad is 24 (if Wikipedia is to be believed). I think he's a middle to back half of the 1st kind of guy but with a magical combine he could higher.

I'm kind of all in on the Ojulari train though. Hopefully he doesn't blow up the combine this week or the back half of the 1st to 2nd round projects are going to get a lot more expensive.

Last year as the draft was ending, we were talking about this year's 1st and I said Ojulari was my best guess. Needless to say I'd be thrilled with that outcome at 30.

It's going to depend on exactly who the DC is of course, but it could make so damn much sense. The weight is an issue. But watch the SEC Championship Game and he ate Broderick Jones alive at times. Utterly destroyed him with a ghost move. Not that Jones has the best hands in the world, but Ojulari even bull rushed him giving up 60 lbs!

On the flipside, Darnell Wright from Tennessee played him damn well. That's a popular name sneaking into late R1 now.

I'm all for Ojulari because of the moves, the athleticism, and the young age. Not sure who else is on my list after him. Need to figure out White, Karl Brooks is getting a little hype but is he a tweener? Anoudike-Uzomah another EDGE target I'm hoping for.

Brooks is super fun. I have him as a 3 Tech, but I said the same thing about Milton Williams.

I think I like him more than Kancey. Kancey's twitchier. Brooks' hands are better and of course he's got a solid bit of extra weight on his frame. 280 for Kancey is well into outlier territory.

From everything I've ever read, Desai is a Fangio disciple through and through. Some people will hate that. It's where the league is going.

The biggest difference between Gannon and what I expect from a true Fangio guy is deception. The philosophy of prioritizing not giving up big plays is the same, but Fangio/Desai try to confuse the hell out of QBs. You'll see a ton of stunts and post-snap motion.

It's important to acknowledge the limitations of what we can actually know, but both coordinators look like damn good hires from the outside.

@Chinatown88 I'm listening to the Brugler-Zierlein Combine preview. Apparently Hyatt isn't going to run due to an injury. Zierlein was told he's in the 4.28-4.33 range in training.

Zierlein also said he has Tillman WR4. And that's before he runs. Well, shit. :laugh:

I was literally just listening to this on YouTube. Also Lance was picking his teeth.

Why should I be excited about Johnson?
