I like the rest of it, but I'm just not sold on Wilkins that high.

1st round: Christian Wilkins DT, Clemson - Taylor makes a statement and gets that 3-tech pass rusher next to Geno who is a beast and is very smart. Just does everything well and will be a solid to great pro for the next 10 years to help Geno become a HOF'er. Guy can play DT or End so he will see significant snaps immediately.

2nd round: Tytus Howard OT Bama - Dude is big, strong and powerful and will be an immediate upgrade at RT where Hart will back him up.

3rd round: Germaine Pratt OLB North Carolina State - Can cover and tackle, instant WILL or SAM, actually liking him better at SAM as Vigil is a decent WILL backer and is not that good of a SAM backer.

4th round: Elgton Jenkins C/OG/OT Missisippi State - Can play all the positions on the O-line, swiss army knife player for insurance.

5th round: Troy Gentry TE Michigan - Can block and catch solid TE for the future.

6th round: Sione Takitaki LB BYU - Can play all the positions and is very smart with a great drive.

6th round: Alex Bars OG Notre Dame - Solid Guard for depth and could develop into a starter at either Guard spot.

6th round - Dexter Williams RB Notre Dame - Fast RB with skills, need one to replace Walton. This guy is better by far, to get him in the late 6th is a major steal.

7th round - Antoine Wesley WR Texas Tech - Big Receiver with great hands, 6'4".

Thoughts?

(04-05-2019, 05:25 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: Yeah, BYU turned out a good one, last year as well.  Some thought he was overdrafted, when Dallas took him in the middle of the 1st round.  I guess they knew what they were doing.

He was killed in a helicopter crash about 2 years ago. He was a Bengals fan btw.... I know you meant Zach. I've also stated Takitaki a couple of times as someone that would be a great pick on day 3. I like the Pratt pick also, having him in Rd3 in my draft that I am working on.

Howard may be a reach. If Lindstrom is there, take him. I also like that Jenkins. He will be a stud.

(04-05-2019, 08:46 PM)OSUfan Wrote: I would not have a problem selecting Wesley in the 5th. I personally think he is going to be one of the best WRs to come out of this class. He is not a burner but absolutely has functional football speed and his size, length, and balls skills combination is elite. He could be the most polished route runner in this class and knows how to separate and use his body to his advantage.

(04-06-2019, 05:50 PM)Au165 Wrote: Your Wilkins breakdown makes no sense. Why would Geno get a 3 technique next to him? If they are both lined up as 3 techniques your essentially in a super wide 9 with no protection in either A gap. 3technique is an alignment which usually allows for a single gap defender to rush with no regard for much else.

I keep trying to explain to people that your not just picking a DT and throwing him in they have specific responsibilities in alignment. In that 4-3 the NT is important because he is shaded into the opposite side A gap from the 3 technique and has run responsibility. This is why you don’t get much pass rush out of the NT.

(04-06-2019, 07:00 PM)Nate (formerly eliminate08) Wrote: On passing downs and in a rotation to keep Geno fresh it sure does make sense.

Makes no sense to draft another NT when we already have two run stopping DT's in Billings and Glasgow.

Another 3-tech makes much more sense IMO.
