Eric Magnuson T Michigan...CBS rank 136...

Davis Webb QB Cal..CBS rank 149...if we trade McCarron

Marquel Lee ILB Wake Forest CBS rank 181

Stevie Tu'ikolovatu DT Southern Cal Not even ranked by CBS

And like others have said.. could also do some trading up and target players earlier

It was a tweet from Paul dehner jr. That said he was 2 spots away and was really close to being a third round comp.

Doesn't look like there is any chance of that happening, and honestly when looking at the list we don't deserve a 3rd for him when looking at what everyone else got. I think a 4th for him is fair and a 4th for Sanu is generous

There'd be a good chance we'd get a starter with that many comp picks.

CB William Likely, III, Maryland: coming off a knee injury which ended his season, lacks ideal size, was projected as high as a 1st to 2nd round pick before the injury

DE Keionta Davis, Chattanooga:  Senior Bowl invite

LB Jaylin Reeves-Maybin, Tennessee: LB/safety hybrid, can play WLB in base 4-3 and nickel LB in passing situations, season ended by shoulder injury

RB Jeremy McNichols, Boise State: Jay Ajai's replacement

RB Donnel Pumphrey, San Diego State: undersized, versatile, has added value as slot receiver and return man

TE Pharoh Brown, Oregon: 2015 redshirt due to knee injury in Nov 2014, redzone TD threat

WR Josh Reynolds, Texas A&M: good body control to make contested catches

WR K.D. Cannon, Baylor: speedy

Wonder what 3 6th round picks and a 7th could get us in a trade.

Per Over the Cap Rey Maualuga has zero dead money if he were cut this off season.

Unfortunately, Oggieboggie boy has $4,913,290 in dead money if we cut him, so I guess he'll just be a very expensive bench warmer.

Going with 2 QBs in 2017 will free up a spot as well. Of course, no idea who that 2nd QB would be.

Maybe we could take those 3 6's this year and change them into 3 5's next year. Roll them over for a few years and move them up each yeae.

Some GM's have said in reports he is undraftable because of the image of him hitting the woman. It is funny if you beat a woman up without video you are draftable, but when it's on video your undraftable. The draft is weird sometimes though, Billings just dropped like a rock last year and still no one really knows why just guessing.

(01-12-2017, 10:47 AM)Jpoore Wrote: yeah I think he's definitely there in the 4th possibly at 5th comp. He's got a first round talent grade so to get him in the 4th that's a huge steal. Also he can catch better than most receivers so we wouldn't be telegraphing our running plays anymore.

(01-12-2017, 10:49 AM)Au165 Wrote: You don't telegraph running plays because a guy isn't a natural pass catcher. The HB is normally a check down meaning you shouldn't throw to him unless everyone else is covered. Many times they are doing a check and release so they have to block first then can release if possible. Hill was in for plenty of passing plays, sometimes he blocked sometimes he went out on routes.

(01-12-2017, 11:06 AM)Jpoore Wrote: we created lot of plays for Gio. It seemed this past year whenever hill came in he was in to run the ball. Mixon can play  the slot can pick up rushers almost as well as Zeke could and can run and catch and make guys miss he's a 3 down back. Hill isn't. He's a 2 down back.

(01-12-2017, 11:40 AM)Au165 Wrote: Your over selling Mixon there hasn't been someone graded even close to Zeke in pass protection in recent memory. He is good, but let's slow down a bit.

Quote:Reeves-Maybin had season-ending shoulder surgery in October. He officially ended his Tennessee career by signing with Vayner Sports, a full-service athlete representation agency, earlier this month.
