Draft Prospect Visits

According to Ian Rappoport, Jeffery Simmons is headed to Miami for a visit. It's stated that he's shown an MRI to teams and it shows his knee to be healing well. Simmons is the biggest wildcard of round #1. Do you draft him and sit him a year to get him healthy for 2020 or place him on the Designated to Return list for 8 games? He's got top 10 value in terms of talent, but his injury and off field stuff may hurt him.

These are some of the defenders that make sense for Miami under Flores imo:

DE

Omenihu - Huge frame (uncommon arm length), excellent strength and burst. Made a lot of plays in the backfield and plays with the violence Miami says it's looking for but still has a lot of untapped potential in his hands.

Anthony Nelson - Another big frame but not as big as Omenihu, and he's not as violent. Good pass rusher with elite athleticism - particularly for his size. Physical profile compares favorably to Chandler Jones.

OLB

Ben Banogu - see prev posts

Justin Hollins - Good size and elite speed, he's the most grab-and-go OLB for the fit. Should be able to come in and start right away, and he'll probably be available a round or two later than Banogu.

CB

Julian Love - intelligence, instincts, versatility, and ball skills would look great in a D that asks a lot of its DB's. Somewhere between Desmond King and Casey Hayward.

Cover Safety

Darnell Savage - can play CB and has the speed (4.3's) to excel in man coverage. Comes downhill with urgency and makes a lot of plays on the ball. Younger than Thornhill.

Juan Thornhill - elite athlete with high-end instincts and experience at CB (where he played in 2017). No Safety prospect made more plays than Thornhill - always around the ball.

Mike Edwards - played a lot of slot in 2018, but he can also cover deep, and he has a very rounded game. Like the other two, you can move him around and expect him to find the ball no matter where you line him up. Don't believe he tested.

I'm happy you brought up Nelson, he is a very similar player to Flowers coming out of college. Average athletically, stout against the run, and some work today on pass rush.

There are gems like these all throughout this draft, I absolutely love the mid round talent on the edge this year.
 
Hard to pass on a guy like Simmons but we never seem to have any luck with players coming back from injury.

Wilkins is my favorite DT from the ones that we'll have a shot at.

I’d like to hear some names on who would be poa values for the scheme with versatility in terms of where they can line up on the los.

Guys that don’t require high draft asset return to play a significant/vital role in the rotation etc.

John Cominsky is an interesting developmental guy, but his Combine might push him up too far. Always hard to tell, and I wouldn't expect much from him early, but his physical skillset is appealing. Full disclosure on him - only saw his Senior Bowl game (couldn't find anything else), and I tend not to value those games. I'm mostly interested in his tools. In the game, he let OL get into his chest too often, but the burst off the line and athletic ability were apparent.
I'm away from my notes until the weekend, and I'm drawing a bit of a blank, but I'll mention other guys if they come to mind. I do know that Omenihu and Nelson are my favorite fits.

Came Wake came back from his horrible injury, and we somehow got 16 games out of a made-from-glass Mike Pouncey
 
I really like Garret Bradbury, Dalton Risner and Chris Lindstrom I just feel like so many teams need OLine and all the good ones will be gone before the third round.
 
Zach Allen may not test to be the most athletic guy or draft prospect. But he seems like the type of player, you can never count out. He has a motor that never quits and has a lunch pale type mentality. He's stout against the run. And plays to the whistle. Jimmy Johnson once said, Zach Thomas may not run a 4.0 forty, but his instincts are 4.0. This his how I'd describe Zach Allen. The guy is just A Football Player!!! He may slip, who knows, but he may also, outplay some of the more highly touted DE in this class.

My feeling is that Allen is a good athlete for a 3-4 DE, and I view NE's DE's as kind of hybrids - somewhere between 3-4 and 4-3 DE's.

Think McCoy and maybe Risner could be there at Miami 2nd pick. The rest of the good ones will likely go Top 40 - probably in the 1st.
