going to hurt watching them play

Glad we passed on Tunsil. The week leading up to the draft he started to remind me of Mckinnie, worried more about the party than the game.

I was admittedly frustrated the first two days since we passed on some elite level talent (on paper). 4th round made my weekend much brighter. hopefully these guys pan out. I have high hopes for Dixon. I think he will the the starter by the end of the year. He's a steal. My only question is why pass on guys with questionable character early only to select Alex Lexis who arguably has more flags than any other player not named Tunsil or Nkemdiche. Not a fan favorite draft, but definitely a solid one. We got what we needed most...depth.

There are so many quality CBs in this class, that I Don't think we will go that route in the first unless Ramsey is there. I like Jack as our pick. He can play inside and out. I also wouldn't mind trading back and picking up Noah Spence. He reminds me a lot of Von Miller. We can more than likely grab one of the likes of Alexander, Jackson, Fuller, Apple, Sutton, Sanchez, Jones in the 2nd-3rd round. Ramsey and VH3 are pretty much locks for the first, but all these other guys aren't guaranteed that same luxury.

We need smart defenders like Weddle. I haven't really heard of players being committed to film study since the Ed Reed/ Ray Lewis days. Not making that comparison, just stating I like to hear when a player is a "student of the game"

No way Spence makes it out of the 1st. he has already shown maturity by staying in college instead of entering the draft, seeking help and staying clean. If Ramsey, Bosa or Mckenzie are gone, I'd love to trade back and get spence. Pick up someone like fuller in the 2nd/3rd.

I think most of us are in agreement that we don't want a tackle in the first?

I've liked Ramsey since the Miami game a season or two ago. However, with us moving Webb to safety and having to pay him CB Money, plus Ramsey projecting better as a safety. I think they give webb a shot there. As a CB, I think Ramsey is the 3rd best at the position. Mckenzie and Sutton may not be the play makers, but they are arguably better lock down cbs. VH3 is a ball hawk, but gets beat from time to time and looks like a nickel. With all that said, Oz drafts talent, not position on most occasions and I would happily welcome Ramsey. If say Mckenzie, Ramsey and Bosa happen to be gone I really like Noah Spence. We could possibly trade back, get Spence and get Sutton or fuller early 2nd. That would be huge too because we fill two voids.

Cam Sutton is a forgotten man at cb too who could be a steal in the 2nd. Cbs are top heavy in this draft. Ramsey, vh3, Mckenzie, apple, Sutton could all go early. Ist-2nd

I thint if he plays safety he will be a star. The year FSU won the title he was all over the field as a safety. If turnovers is what we need, VH3 Is the guy, personally I like Mckenzie as the best cb. Not flashy, but absolutely locks down wrs. Webb playing full time safety should generate more turnovers as well.

Mckenzie or VH One of those two will like fall just outside the top 10 depending on where ramsey and one of the before mentioned fall. All 3 cbs won't be top 10, and all 3 could be immediate starters on a football team. I think VH is the better ball hawk, but more of a nickle, while Mckenzie can lock down a side. I personally think he's the best cb in the draft. Ramsey is the best athlete, but he isn't as great a cb as the others. (not to say he can't be elite at the position). By far the best safety though.

What do you guys think about trying to draft Braxton miller? I'd say he will probably play his way into the 2nd with how he's performing at the senior bowl, and how he'll do at the combine. Interesting development guy. He has natural ability to make an immediate impact, and as he starts to polish as a wr he could be a really good one. Been watching the senior bowl practices, and he's putting dbs on skates.

As much as I would like someone like Ramsey, I wouldn't be opposed to trading back. We need more than one piece, plus I think if we trade back we have a real shot t getting Noah Spence who was arguably a top 5, at least top 10 prospect before getting kicked out of Ohio state.

To be honest, I think he was thrilled either way

Shut him down. Don't risk it. 2 games left, and we're just playing for pride at this point.
