Love the thought of trading back and adding Jihad and another pick. Great player that is like 3 positions in one with his skillset. I know he
won't play immediately with the shoulder injury, but he could be a star down the road. I like your thoughts on Perkins, he could be the Viper
and Stutsman was a stud on Oklahoma every time I watched him. Think I remember Carter from Clemson as well.
We certainly can find a Viper outside of the first round. We didn't meet with Jalon Walker or Jihad Campbell. I don't know if this means
anything or not...
Much like several posters, I am hyped about the defense this season.
I am expecting more from Jenkins and Jackson this season, with my only fear being their time developing behind Slaton and Hill may be excessive when they need more playing time. If they draft Grant at 17, it kills Jackson's development, same with Nolen and Jenkins.
I love the idea of Warren or Emmanwori, as Warren as the traditional TE and Gesicki in the slot would be crazy for Joe, along with Emmanwori in the first and Harold Perkins in the second would reshape the defense.
The draft is more wide open than people think, IMO.
When I think of the Viper role, I am looking for explosive linebackers who can cover and big safeties who excel at blitzing, which again gives a wider field of potential prospects in the draft or free agency (Simmons?).
