I just can't see us taking James with Reshad and TJ already on the roster. I could see a mid round free safety. The kid from wake Forest looks promising
I'm am all in on Davenport at 11. Fell in love with the kid at senior bowl week. They mentioned during the game that a coach was trying to hype him up on the sideline and he basically told him he didn't need it as he is self motivated.You may be right depends on the plan but if it’s bpa derwin james is gonna be up there. Davenport will be up there too but if your scheme isn’t putting that kid 90 percent in a 2 point you are failing him.
Jets at 6 miss out on qb or get it in free agency Davenport looks juicy
The best thing that may happen to Charles Harris is Miami’s New DL Coach? The same could be said for Jordan Philips.
I guess I’m in the minority because I like VT LB Tremaine Edmonds at 11.
Trade up for chubb or pass til 2019 draft for the long term pairing with Harris
I’d trade 11 and 43 for chubb especially if Miami is content at lb with what it has. I wouldn’t be but they may
That’s a mike tannenbaum like move. He’s a 3 down left side de plus run defender with 8 to 12 sack potential. He’s top 5 pick worthy
Harris long term projects as wakes right side replacement
Only way I’d probably question that trade up would be if derwin james was there at 11. But I think I’d get over it.
Here's a question, Hoops.
Watching the super bowl, the two teams did a tremendous job of negating the pass rush. Granted, we are talking about Tom Brady and Nick Foles in a great system with Philly.
Still, it makes me wonder if covering is now more important than the pass rush. And I know a strip sack was huge in the win, but it was probably the only positive play the Eagles made on defense in the second half.
You know the NFL is trending, and has been for some time, to a short, dink and dunk pass attack. The quarterbacks are getting rid of the ball so quickly now.
Would love to hear your thoughts. I'm thinking you get a back seven that can tackle with the corner and safety play maybe the most important now in the NFL.
I’m thinking that chubb kid is a better prospect and player than anything the eagles or patriots played on the edge.
He’s more gifted athletically than Derek Barnett but in a reported at least inch plus taller and 15 lbs heavier frame.
This isn’t 259 this is 275.
Derwin james on tape is another exceptional talent but you better have a plan other than just pure strong safety or you are gonna waste his talents.
If Miami can’t fit that in schematically to take full advantage of his reportoire of skills don’t draft him.
Tremaine Edmunds would be higher if he had more box instincts. He’s got a better feel than the Texas kid for the position and he’s the best 19 year old poa lb I’ve seen maybe ever given the size reported 6 foot 4 and 236 although I bet he comes in 6 foot 3 and 240 at the combine but instincts at lb separate the elite from everyone else.
They say he’s gonna run low 4.6s I can buy it and he’s very fluid for his size but without top shelf instincts you are destined to play a tick slower play speed wise than your timed speed. And that’s where for me the reality sets in.
More a consolation prize at 11 than a homerun. But also the top lb in the class in terms of where you have to draft him. Any time you bet on instincts catching up with the rest of a guys game it’s a risky proposition but someone’s gonna see that package skill set and that size and run the card up
