I think he has a lot of positive traits, but you have to remember he is really young still and a lot of his problems relates to coachable technique. When he is in zone or keeps the play in front of him, he is a stud. He just needs improving on opening up too early. Would be a solid pick between 15-20

Cool story and I really like Jefferson but there must be some failed reporting here, the numbers don't add up. Jefferson and Zach are only 3 years a part of he is 22 now. If he was 13 or even 14 at the time then there is no way Jefferson would have been in college🤔 Cool story nonetheless but it just doesn't add up.

He is 5'10-11 but guess what, TY Hilton and AB are in that range and kill defenses on a regular basis. Speed kills and so does great route running. Those are two huge things we need. Perriman is fast and a big target, but he has shaky hands and abysmal route running abilities. Ross has fast acceleration as well with great routes

With a long off-season still ahead, there is a lot that will happen with this offense. In regards to the draft though, just think that this draft could go completely offensive if the board stacks that way. We could very well land Davis or Williams and have a solid receiving core with speed demons Wallace and Perriman and a possession /50-50 ball receiver in Mike Williams or Corey Davis. We then land an anchor on the line like Pat Elflein or Dan Feeney in the second and bam, we all of a sudden are looking to have some serious potential, especially if our crowded TE core finally shines.

We are so much closer to an elite defense than offense, which is exactly why I hope we load up on defense and take two Mauler on OL and roll into the season. We have a defense that can stuff the run. We got two experienced guys added to the secondary with Carr and Jefferson. ILB will be like every other year, we will find one in the rough. We have some solid talent with Williams, Jernigan, Mosley, J. smith, Young, Weddle, Suggs, and Jefferson. If we were to add a dynamic rusher like Barnett, Tim Williams or even Charles Harris and grabbed a pair of physical corners like Kevin King or Tre White with Rasul Douglas or Desmond King, we would be knocking on the door of elite.

I freaking wish we had the draft pick haul we had last year. We would have so much ammo to trade up. I wouldn't mind trading back twice again this year, whether in the first or second, as long as there were no crazy good players sitting there. Imagine acquiring an additional third and fourth. We would be able to pick someone in mid to late twenties, such as Reddick, Cam Robinson, Tim Williams or Charles Harris, then we would have a second, three third rounders and two fourths. That could seriously yield a massive overhaul of talent. I expect some talented guys in the second to be there like Dan Feeney, Dion Dawkins, Pat Elflein, Kevin King, Ryan Anderson, Jourdan Lewis, Tankersley, etc. Then we would have a haul in the third with guys like Asiata, Desmond King, Taylor Moton, Ethan Pocic, D'onta Foreman, Rasul Douglas.

Trade bait, Cook and Ross are prime candidates. But I'd also say that OJ Howard might be as well if he is there. It just doesn't seem likely though. I highly dislike that Indy and Philly are in front of us. Both teams need MLB, hence Foster's slide potential might not go that far. They also both need CB, hence after Lattimore is taken, they could take Conley and Humphrey.

I mean I know we are all hopeful that Barnett, Davis, Williams or Foster slide down to us, but being realistic, they might be all be gone along with Fournette, Hooker, Allen, Adams, Soloman Thomas, etc. We then have a batch of questionable players. Frankly, I don't know who I would choose. If no one is looking to come up. Who is the pick at 16? Can Robinson? TJ Watt? Tim Williams? Marlon Humphrey? Charles Harris? I think Tim Williams is starting to rise right back up there. He seems mature and outside of a mediocre championship game, he has a wicked burst off the line and an arsenal of rush moves.

It's basically impossible at 16. I have a hunch that two QBs go and at least one or two Eli Apple and Leonard Floyd like picks happen. Which to me, I think that Foster or Barnett are there. Worst case scenario I think that Davis or Ross are there, but I'd rather trade back.

The defense will be far better. Mark my words. We didn't lose anyone on D besides Doom, but I can almost guarantee we take a nasty more effective rusher like Tim Williams or Charles Harris. CB is so deep this year that a lot of guys like Moreau, Tankersley, Sutton, White, Lewis, would all go easily 1st in almost any class. This one is stacked and that's why I think Ozzie takes a top ranked receiver or edge guy now that we have added Jefferson and Carr. plus, after Lattimore the hierarchy is really tough at CB especially after Sidney Jones got hurt.

I wouldn't touch Claiborne for more than 4-5 per year at a maximum 2 year deal.

You are nuts dude. Smith is top 5-10 when healthy. His rough style of play just often ends up getting him banged up. Also, young had a great rookie year.

In trade back scenarios, look for teams who might want Ross, Howard or Cook. I'm thinking the Buccaneers and Giants are good options that only drop us a few and could easily land a 4th, if not a third if they want the player bad enough.

People don't see Ross as a safe prospect but besides possible injuries, the guy is well rounded as it gets. His route running is underrated and it reminds me of AB. He is also faster than AB too. If he gets Flacco to bounce back, he could be an insane weapon. Most of his highlight catches came after having to slow down because the balls were underthrown. We use him in the slot and he will rip up defenses. Especially if we can upgrade the run game.

People might hate this thought but I think Ross had a chance to be BPA at 16. It's not likely but he is a much more finished product that Perriman coming out. His routes are crisp and his hands are consistent. He is a game changer

Being realistic: Tier 1 of hopeful/ realistic picks: Reuben Foster, Derek Barnett, M. Williams. Tier 2: Corey Davis, Marlon Humphrey, Tim Williams, Gareon Conley Tier 3 of last resorts: Cam Robinson, TJ Watt, John Ross, Charles Harris.

At this point everyone just puts something to be different lol My big board for Rd 1. 1 Garrett 2 Adams 3 Fournette 4 Allen 5 Foster 6 Thomas 7 Hooker 8 Lattimore 9 Barnett 10 M. Williams 11 Corey Davis 12 OJ Howard 13 Gareon Conley 14 John Ross 15 Dalvin Cook 16 Marlon Humphrey

I think you are spot on with the draft partner at least. I think if we wanted to go up the browns hold the key while if we wanted to trade back, the Giants would be the likeliest partner.

I agree. Likely the only picks we take on the line will come between round 2 and 3

It is an unpopular idea, but Conley could be the pick at 16. As you have stated, he has a good resume and checked off all of the boxes at the combine.

Some think he still goes in the first but no way. He likely goes in the second. He will be the Jaylon Smith of this year and a team like Dallas will take him. If I was the GM, I would struggle in whether or not to pick the him at 47 because I think he is the best in class pre-injury. Based on Ozzie's off-season moves, I think he is in win now mode and won't like to wait. If we were to take a non CB talent, such as Barnett, Davis, Foster, or Harris, I would love to see us take another first round talent in the second then move up from the third to take Jones after securing two major puzzle pieces. A home run draft would be landing Barnett, then someone like Elflein, Moreau or Chidobe, then coming back into the second to grab Jones so we could stash him away.

The NFL is now a space game where everyone spreads out and matches their superstars v their opponents. With that being said, I think teams deeply prioritize CBs early. DJ has had some really horrific mocks so I don't put too much weight into them. I think that Lattimore, Humphrey, Wilson, Conley and White go in the first with Tabor possibly still sneaking in for Seattle. In the second guys like Moreau, Chidobe, Lewis, Tankersley, Jones, will rip off the board early after the teams that skipped on CBs early in the first will take advantage of the value left in the second.

Humphrey would never ever make it past Seattle. He is there kind of corner.

That is the question though, do Harbaugh and Ozzie think Lewis could kick out to EAT or would they rather fill in Robinson at Guard and keeping Lewis for depth? Robinson is a violent run blocker, but is clunky in pass pro, but the key to turning around our offense is a power run game. Robinson could be the answer. Lamp might not be value at 16 due to the potential of other players being there like Barnett, Davis, Humphrey, etc , but I think Lamp is a great player. His short arms are no worry. He is a super crafty and physical blocker and I think he is a little similar to Yanda.

Okay before the I hurt to Jones I was holding out that he would be our guy. Now that he is gone, there seems to be three guys that could fit. Who do you guys like the most between. 1. Marlon Humphrey 2. Gareon Conley 3. Quincy Wilson The buzz on Wilson has cooled and a lot of mocks don't even have him in the first after the combine, which might make him a round 2 steal. For me It comes down to Hump vs Conley. Conley has a moderately high floor and projects to be an above average corner. He killed the combine as far as I am concerned and he is better than most give him credit for. He got overshadowed by Hooker and Lattimore. Very solid in coverage but lacks aggressiveness. Humphrey to me is a Jimmy Smith clone, but I think Smith was a bit more sticky coming out of college. I think besides Lattimore, Humphrey had the highest ceiling. His ultra aggressive style screams Baltimore. He plays no games in shedding blocks and coming in to make tackles. He has the deep speed to keep up and the length to cover. If he improves his jam and is more patient in opening up, he will be able to more often than not, dictate where the receivers can go on each play.
