Any noticeable players that haven't been drafted so far that we could target in free agency? I didn't manage to watch the draft today so not sure on who is left.

I'd really like to see us go after Dominique Alexander, Tyvis Powell, and Kalan Reed.

I want Tyvis Powell, but I have no idea why he went undrafted and we probably won't be able to sign him anyways.

Do you know what happened with Powell? I'm honestly surprised. I thought he lacked aggressiveness and toughness, but he's a smart kid with some talent.

Yeah but Reynolds is Navy, so he'll probably side vs the Air Force guy

Nah. I think most if not all military members would stick up for another service member if there was any wrongdoing, regardless of their branch of service. Anyway, it doesn't matter. 

Inside the military,  each branch will give other branch crap, that's just the way it is.   But we are all one one by family. You don't mess with family

No idea. He's not good in the run game but he has coverage skills.

I've seen Alexander's and Powell's names mentioned a few times in the past couple of days for mostly good reasons.

Exactly. I think he lacks in the tackling area and isn't aggressive enough, but I didn't think this would happen.

It was just my first thoughts on him. I've barely watched the guy, but I will be watching all our rookies pretty soon here.

If it makes you feel better watching some tape he reminds me of Webb before the 2nd ACL tear. Great instincts solid tackler especially for his size he matched up on Will Fuller and held him to 5/46/1 broke up a possible TD and forced a tip Int. the tape has me excited

I can't wait to watch him along with the other guys we got who I didn't really scout this year. If he's the next Webb that'd be awesome lol.

Currently on an AirForce base with Marines. This is basically how it is.

 

It's like you can make fun of your brother but no one else can.

Different type of investment to put a high pick into a player compared to a 4th round pick. Also, just because he's a military member doesn't make the guy innocent. I'm in the military and I know some people try to throw around their service as if it makes them immune or something. We have no idea the details, but maybe the guy did something as well. Doesn't entitle him to beat someone unconscious, but I am sure if we took him we must've felt comfortable with it. I mean, Reynolds is on the team so he's in the military, so I am sure that will be brought up in training camp or something.

I don't disagree with any of the picks it's just strange to me considering how the emphasis in the war room was about character, I just don't buy that Stanley and Correa were rated higher than Tunsil or Spence.

Yes Ochi is a bad dude, I hope we don't drop the ball on him like James Harrison.

I wanted Us to get Ochi glad we did and Fabiano seems like one of our sneaky pick up very good numbers at the combine

Matt Miller said every team he's talked to has him as an undrafted guy.

There was this other LB that went undrafted. What's his name? Oh right Burfict. Who while having a lot of penalties and being a knucklehead is one of the best in the league. 

I just don't get how a guy who won the Bronco Nagurski, Rotary Lombardi, and Chuck Beadnick awards along with All American and the PAC 12 DPOY with 163 tackles. 29 for a loss. 14 sacks and 6 FF. Those aren't participarticipation trophies. And those are numbers against good teams. Not against mid Fresno state northeast side community college. Can suddenly be, not NFL material. Since the Browns got him, I hope I'm wrong.

Not exactly comparable situations. 

Burfict always had 1st round talent. He just decided to be stupid, fail a drug test, and get fat. His drop was character related. 

Scooby, on the other hand, fell because of size and athleticism concerns. Good instincts but lacking in a lot of other areas. He has nowhere near the same natural talent as Burfict.

Along with concerns about him being physically up to talent level of the NFL Scooby also has a really substantial injury history.
