I like that ya still got Teddy in the top 5. And wow, Carr to the Broncos? Not sure about that, they drafted Osweiler pretty early and I've heard the really like Dysert too. I think they're in win now mode, I think they'll go for someone who can make an immediate impact.

I personally don't see the Vikings passing on Teddy unless Mack is there

 

[bosoxlover12]

Also, not huge on Nix in Rd1. Not scheme versatile really. He's a pure NT, which even Wilfork isn't. Nix can't play 3-4 DE, while Vince can.

I really see NE going OL if they stay in the 1st, which i would put around ~30%

Scheme versatility doesn't matter as much if you're a true nose. Pure nose tackles are difficult to find, and it's arguably the most important position in the 34.

At this point, I'm fairly certain the Saints are going receiver unless one of the corners are still available. May still go receiver whether one is there or not.

Yeah but when you run a hybrid you want scheme versatility. I just think there are better picks than Nix.


Also, both ND lineman offer no pass rush whatsoever, and that's a huge negative.

verrett or latimer

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I know for a fact that they love Beckham, Cooks, and Lee. I think it would be very difficult to pass on one of them if they were still available. Every "insider" I know is pointing towards a receiver. I'm also not sure how much interest there would be in Verrett because of his size. Rob Ryan goes with big corners, I think Gilbert would be there dream, but that would be a trade up. Dennard and Fuller as well.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Beckham and Cooks will be gone, as will Dennard/Fuller/Gilbert.

Verrett is a slot corner, not an outside corner. And I'm not huge on Lee

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Don't rule out them moving up for that exact reason. Possibly to 14 like we talked about, or around 20 or so.
