I've changed my mind and would go all defense if Thomas is off the board at 1-23. I would love to see Caserio go all in on defense in the draft and add offense in FA. FA Wilkins/Pollard/Samuel/Swing OT 1. Latu- Edge 2. Fiske- DT 2. Payton Wilson,- OLB even if I had to trade future picks to get this done. If not give me Ced Gray at 3-85. 4. Quantez Stiggers- CB 4. Cole Bishop- S Trade Pierce and two 7ths for a 5th 5. Luke McCaffrey- WR
Exactly. Get known quantities around CJ. That, in and of itself, will take so much pressure off of the defense. Let’s possess the hell out of the ball this year.
In his defense: Outside of maybe the top few picks, mocks are blind until after free agent signings. Once those are accounted for, we'll have a better idea Caserio's of draft priorities.
Having consistent interior pressure on the defensive line would take the defense to another level. If they prioritise Wilkins over Greenard, then I expect them to be aggressive in getting another pass rusher and maybe trade up to get one.
LOVE the Latu pick! Such a good, skilled pass rusher. And like Tampa the player but unsure if he fits well with our defense so DeMeco would have to sign off on it. I'm really big on us upgrading our pass rush from Greenard though so my biggest hope is that one of Latu, Jared Verse or Chop Robinson falls to us although Bran Thomas JR. and B. Murphy would be great also. One of those five at #23 and I'm a Happy Camper!
Here’s an interesting one. Tank had a slow-mid pack 40 yard time of 4.49. Dude get crazy separation though, his first 10 yard split is 1.50 Xavier Worthy’s 10 yard split is 1.49
Tanks height affects his long speed. He’s not a long strider, still fast but more explosive/quick. There’s some receivers in this draft eerily similar. Not sure I’ve seen a better testing group in a while
Jacob Cowing and McConkey are the closest to Tank in this draft. Followed closely by Pearsall and Legette.
I know TANK seems like he gets separation, but I looked at separation numbers and Schultz actually got more. 3.3 to 2.9 which surprised me. Dalton Schultz 3.3 Noah Brown 3.1 Nico Collins 3.0 Tank Dell 2.9 Robert Woods 2.6 https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/receiving#average-separation
From what I can tell, the separation stat tend to disproportionately favor TEs over WRs. There are 17 TEs that rank above Schultz in terms of separation.
I could see this stat for a couple of reasons. Who is likely to do more damage with YAC? WRs (except Brevin or Beck IYKYK) Who is more likely being covered by run-stuffing LB's? TEs It makes sense teams give TEs more space.
