ALPHA

He might even be a better strong safety than ILB

How good of a pass/edge rusher is Jack currently and what is his likely ceiling in that department (NFL comparison)?

He's a blitzer only with no pass rush moves, when they put him on the edge he tries to run around tackles.

Yes, he'd dynamic, durable and can shoulder the entire offense with his pass protection and pass catching.

I need to vrush up on shon coleman. Good examples of film?

He's strong but moves really poorly, similar style to Ifedi and Conklin but not nearly as good.

That seems to be the truth about almost every tackle taken early in the last few years.  I wouldn't be very happy if we picked a tackle with our 1st pick.

Jason Spriggs isn't far behind Stanley as a pass blocker, and the Hoosiers do a lot of run blocking from 3 point unlike Tunsil and Stanley so he's more well rounded with athletic upside. He just has to shoot his hands more and helmet less, I hope we're looking at him.

Well deserved, hopefully he continues to make the most of his opportunities

Yes BPA, if that's Stanley then so be it, but he's going to be one of those tackles who needs 3 years to learn how to run block.

Ben Watson at 35 is probably faster than any TE we've ever had, to me it's interesting that he'd leave a pass heavy offense for backup duty over here.

Osemele is gone, hoping we take a look at Brandon Brooks

Osemele with the Raiders

We could look at Brandon Brooks in FA, former tackle he's built like a tank and is probably the most powerful olineman in the league.

Ramsey

He's the best coverage linebacker I've seen out of college, better than Urlacher, with elite 4.4 speed and movement skills. He can play any position in the 2nd and 3rd level.

Go Grizz! I only say that because I was born in Montana. I don't pay attention to college football like that.

I've never seen him before, he looks closer to 6'2" 245 and the strength levels aren't there but he bends really well, has some burst and pursuit. He's a project on the next level but could have some upside.

So, I don't know about you guys, but the OLBs I'm more interested in are all projected to go around the 3rd/4th round. Off the top of my head I could name Nassib, Kaufusi, Schobert, Nicholas, Ngakoue, Correa, Fackrell, even McCallister or Blair.

And I'm wondering, if you had to chose, in what order would you place them?

Fackrell, Correa, Nassib, Ngakoue, Kaufusi, Schobert, Nicholas 

Fackrell has a lot of versatility, Correa and Ngakoue have high ceilings and are natural fits at OLB, Nassib has a high floor he plays like Paul Kruger. Kaufusi is similar but I think Nassib moves better and makes more plays. I always liked Schobert but he's probably a 3rd down specialist

Heh

It looks as if Leonard Floyd will be a top 10 pick. Would be cool to get Floyd or Sprnce then trade up for Nkemdiche. My opinion would energize the ravens defense. If ravens lose KO then the ravens are back to square one and Left Tackle is priority.

We could use more speed but I think more on the 2nd and 3rd levels, I don't see the value for Floyd because he isn't a 3 down player.

It seems most people that neg mocks don't comment to say what they actually dislike about them.

I haven't been here long but I'm starting to get the idea.

Saves $2.1M, so around $1.6M due to his rule of 51 replacement.

If we move him after June 1st it's $6.5M then add on KO's contract (maybe 8+) to our cap space, but either way it's next man up at guard, Urschel or Jensen.

So am I the only one who thought jaylon was overrated? He's more of highlights guy than a tape guy for me. He looks scared to engage imo. He gets caught way too often circling around traffic and letting guys get upfield on him. That's a db style of pursuit, not something I want from my ILB. Jack may not be the best in Traffic but he definitely shows the willingness and he wins a fair amount of those head up battles with blockers.

I never saw him as a fit here, he's good if you can keep him clean. He actually reminds me of a more athletic Ogletree (who is plenty athletic)

I've read that there is $7M in dead money if we cut Monroe, so it doesn't free up much cap space.

I think he's going to be drafted with a day 3 flier at the latest, even with a redshirt year he has too much potential. Right now he's walking and nerves do heal/grow back slowly but it depends on how extensive the damage is.

KO is an above average guard and can fill in at left and right tackle, so he's a good player with versatility, but you don't pay a premium on that. His market value is going to exceed his actual value.

We have two promising players who can step up, what happened to next man up?

The teams aren't just taking his word though, he got poked and prodded at the combine medicals and nothing desperately problematic got pulled up (at least, nothing that we heard of). He's still got several months to come fully right, and as it stands he's expected to run and cut for his pro day.

If he lights up his pro day without any issues it will completely change the top 5 picks.

Jack is an incredible player but it's a risk taking him at his word, he says the knee is not and issue but he would say that even if he was hiding something major. Not running at the combine tells me it's not 100.
