Considering that we traded the #23 pick, I don't believe that management views it vital to draft a top CB. And based on what CJ said about Metchie "looking good", I don't believe that we will prioritize a receiver. My guess is that we're going DT, S, and LB (not necessarily in that order) with our top-3 picks. Do you agree? I wonder if we'll use one of our 4th round picks on a RB. There are also other DT that might be a good value at that spot. Thoughts?
Offense looks good -- maybe if there's a tremendous value at OL in round 2, we go there... but otherwise I see us prioritizing defense. Interior d-line and cornerback are where I'd focus. Stingley is an all-NFL player, but injury prone... so we are thin at CB if he goes down. Other than that, we are in great shape and can truly go best player available and try to find the next high upside talent. Good position to be in.
Last one before the draft. Algorithm is catching up! 42 Ennis Rakestraw CB 59 Michael Hall Jr DT 86 Jeremiah Trotter Jr LB 123 Tanor Bortolini OC 127 Will Shipley RB 188 Josh Proctor S 189 Christian Jones OT 238 Eric Watts Edge 247 Isaac Rex TE
At RB, I'm looking for a ZB scheme type runner that will be well above average catching the ball that I can draft on Day 3. Specifically I'm looking at Ray Davis Tyrone Tracy Will Shipley Dylan Laube Jaden Shirden
Im a little torn between Hall Jr and Braden Fiske. Fiske had a freaky combine that has me questioning myself a little bit.
My only problem with Issac is he needs to learn to utilize his speed more. He likes to run through guys.
He's a big dude. I can see why he'd be more prone to try that in college. I think the first few NFL pops he receives will help him modify his approach! Dude has a phenomenal top end speed and very good hands.
I know the Texans had a visit with Isaac, so they are definitely interested. Isaac has great top end speed, but his quickness and change of direction is not very good. As redrocket said, Isaac tends to run over guys and break through tackles than use his speed to his advantage.
Texans could draft a RB, but with Mixon and Pierce and even Ogunbowale, they are probably only looking for another body for depth which they could pick up off the street in the event of an emergency. Doubt they prioritize the position before day 3, especially with this being a weak RB draft
I really like his vision. He's patient in allowing for holes to develop. Great receiving back. He reminds me of Arian a little bit.
