    Humphrey actually excels at stopping short passes. It seems like our defense is now perfectly built to stop the Pats.

    I'm sure the Patriots are worried.  Jefferson on Gronkowski and Weddle on any other TE they have (Allen), and Young and Humphrey should be able to cover guys like Hogan and Cooks.  Then we got pass rushers galore in Williams and Bowser.  I like what we did here.

    The only downside I see with him is maybe that his frame is maxed out. His hands could be better but so could most guys in college.

    Yeah true but we'll see hopefully the stength and conditioning coach gets him to grow into a RUSH LB body. He's pretty dedicated it seems with good work ethic. Hopefully he pans out he has the potential.

    Putting him on the edge is a waste of his talent, unless Ozzie has seen stuff that I haven't seen. I haven't seen anything that makes me confident in Bowser as an edge.

    I read your report and I get your points but perhaps the teal feels like they can improve on his areas of weakness. On his ability to disengage, I don't recall seeing him get swallowed up and locked onto OL. I watched him disengage and make a TFL when locked on by an OL. I think it's consistency but that can hopefully be developed.

    Just watched grudens qb camp. Kaaya seems like by far the most cerebral and pro ready qb. That man knows what he's doing, and knows what he's talking about. 

    That right there has me convinced he'll be the best qb of this class. Theee other guys don't seem anywhere near as mentally in tune with football as he appeared to be on that segment 

    I'd love it if we drafted always with our last pick. That would be cool. I doubt we do it though.

  5. I think Wormley is a solid prospect.  He's not a favorite and it's not like that matters but he's solid. I am just mad because of the repeated investments into DL with sometimes very little dividends.  We took Williams in 2013 and he's been a success and Jernigan had success as a 2nd round pick but he's now gone and we could've had some great WR talent at his pick in 2014. Urban is the same way--good guy but has done very little for us and we could've used that pick elsewhere at a position like WR rather than another DL after taking Jernigan. Then 2015 we take Carl Davis, who has largely been a bust so far, and last year we took Kaufusi who got hurt and did nothing. 

    I have no problem loading up on DL but sometimes you need to cool down and go other avenues. And how many picks have we invested into WR during that span? Probably way less than DL. I could say the same about CB, too. Thank God Ozzie finally took a CB early

  6. I wouldn't mind taking another CB or a Safety. Go after the strength of the Draft. Jackson and King would be nice options for us. King is a guy I would really like to fill both roles. Bisnowaty, Johnson, Asiata, Toth, Orlovsky for OL guys and I'd really like Dupre, Ford, Butt or Hodges on this team. Plenty of good talent left.

  7. The difference between Correa and Bowser is rather large. Outside the athletic specimen requiring development, their similarities aren't many. Correa came from Boise State, who notoriously does strange stuff with their defenders. Correa never really developed and I typically hate their defenders. Only Lawrence has succeeded as far as I recall. Bowser can actually disengage, too. Correa struggles at that

    Wormley is the only pick I don't like so far, so not a bad draft in that regard.  I really wish we'd stop drafting so many DL.  It's great that we can develop them and all but how many do we really need?  5 years in a row taking one in the top 3 rounds.  I'd much rather have that pick go towards an incredibly weak offense.  I don't even think Wormley is a terrible player or anything, but it's overkill.

    This is why the pick pissed me off.  I don't hate Wormley.  He's OK as a player and I think he could be a good player but man...another DL?  How many of these are we going to take throughout the years?
