I will give you three Players. Which one choose you and why. Give me your opinion, why you pick your Guy over the other two for our Team.
(5) QB: Tua / Herbert / Love
(18) OT: J.Jones / A.Jackson / L.Niang
(26) RB: D.Swift / J.Taylor / J.K.Dobbins
(39) S: A.Davis / J.Chinn / A.Winfield
(56) NT: D.Hamilton / L.Fotu / B.Jones
(70) C: N.Harris / J.Hanson / D.Williams
So whats your Draft in this 3 Round Player Board and why ?
I pick it so.
1. Tua (risky but no risk, no Ring)
2. Jones (raw but i trust our choaches)
3. Swift (best and complete back for me)
4. Davis (good FS in our Defense system)
5. Hamilton ( i absolutely love Hamilton in the middle of our line, big boy, can shut thr run down)
6. Harris (bad combine, good tape, steal at this late for me and a good challenger for Karras at Center)
So now feel free for your opinions.
I really dislike your choice of players ... it's like an all-overhyped list.
1. QB: Prefer Burrow / Eason, but you make me choose from the 3 biggest bust potentials in the draft, I'll go with Herbert and hope he's a firey football player underneath. Love is just a QB with bad production and tools, that's a gamble at best. Tua is a good QB with good but not great tools who has maxxed out his potential and has had lots of durability issues coming from a school where their players tend to break down once they reach the pros ... I'm too scared to pull the trigger at 5, and he will not be there at 18.
2. OT: Literally none of these guys are the OL I'd want. There is a top eschelon of OT's and one may fall to 18, and I'd hope it's Andrew Thomas who has proven production and a low bust potential. If we miss out on that top tier, then we should not draft an OT in the first round, and none of these guys.
3. RB: IMHO, it's not worth spending a high round draft pick on a RB. If we did, it should only be AFTER we have the QB and OL in place ... and we have neither. I'm looking for a mid round RB, not these guys. But if I must, I'll say Dobbins, as there is a remote chance he slips to round 3.
4. S: The guys I like aren't the all-hype train guys like Chinn (or as some might say 'he's the next Isaiah Simmons, look at those measurables#@$l!#!%$!@#$!'). I'm looking at Xavier McKinney of Alabama early or JR Reed of Georgia late. None of the three you listed would be a good choice for me unless they slid waaaaaay down.
5. NT: Not sure this is really a position we'll be drafting. My preference is to grab one of the late round guys and plug him in. This is a poor draft for DL, and I'm not sure there's real solutions at NT in this draft. In this Patriots multiple scheme these guys might work, but I'd be more interested in DT's in rounds 6 and 7.
6. C: Here's where I actually would spend draft capital. I've been very impresssed with Tyler Biadasz of Wisconsin, but after the combine his stock has slipped and he may be had as late as the 3rd round--where he would be an absolute steal. I'm simply not interested in a journeyman C, they're too easy to find and not nearly effective enough. The blue-chippers can be found in rounds 2 and 3, and this draft has several of them, so let's go get one.
I applaud your analysis and enthusiasm. Please do not take my difference of opinion negatively, because discussing opinions is what these boards are all about.
You're asking a lot in this post brother. Next time it might be worth considering posting only about one position, giving people 5 options, and making it a poll? Then they could not only make a choice and defend it, but they could see how other people think too. Just a thought.
