Logan Wilson, Troy Dye, Davion Taylor, Justin Strnad etc.

There are plenty of coverage LB’s in this draft. Veach said it himself.

Also from Matt Miller on Delpit. Yikes. Also saw a tweet that this dude got his asshole roasted by Duvernay in the Texas game.

2. Faller of the Season: Safety Grant Delpit, LSU


Don Juan Moore/Getty Images
Grant Delpit entered the season as the No. 3 overall player on my watch list after a dominant 2018 season that showed him primed for a big jump. That jump never happened, though, with Delpit failing to make the same impact in his final season in Baton Rouge.

Some LSU contacts have said Delpit dealt with an ankle injury that affected his play last year, but my issues with his tape are more about effort and pursuit angles. And if the ankle injury was bad enough to affect his play, why are his same missed-tackle problems also on the 2018 tape?


There's a lot to unpack here, including the fact that Delpit is a fantastic athlete with surefire NFL potential if he can get back to playing with the tenacity and speed we saw from his sophomore tape. But on grade alone, he's the biggest faller of this year's draft class, with a drop from No. 3 to No. 63 overall.

Interesting. Would expect Gay to move upwards in projection then, too. I won’t hate it if KC takes him at 32.

Yikes. One guy said one thing. :rolleyes:

I have zero problem at all taking any LB who the FO feels can be a legitimate full-time player at 32. I feel that the value of the position has skyrocketed in recent years with the way offenses are stretching the field through college style concepts, and the way they use these TE/H-Back players in general.

No defender has to react to more stimuli on the field than the linebacker right now. Truthfully, had we lost in the Super Bowl or prior, our deficiencies at that position would have been in the top 2 or so reasons for it.

I'm torn between taking a guy like Hennessy to protect the franchise or a playmaking linebacker to bolster the defense.

Better not draft Patrick Mahomes. Cian Fahey said he was uncoachable and has too many things he needs to fix in order to play QB in the NFL

Could be wrong but I don’t think Wilson or Taylor make it to our 3rd rd pick. Those guys have ability and athleticism. Would love each one.

Dye is very intelligent but his frame is so lanky and skinny. I worry about him against the run.

Yeah, but he's not exactly wrong though on Delpit. Dude really didn't have a great season, which is why we're talking about him as a possible option at 32.

Wilson maybe, but Taylor? Doubtful.

Even picking at the very end of each round, we should still be able to get a top 3 player of a position of need.

To get a difference maker starter on a championship team is awesome and exciting.

I can’t freaking wait

ThyKingdomCome15 04-17-2020 08:01 PM
Wouldn't surprise me at all if Tayor ends up being the best RB in this class. 220's, 4.39 speed, slips tackles well, and really good vision.

I know Dane's going to tell me I'm ****ing stupid but I really doubt that all of the first tier of RB's will all be gone by #63.

I think it's likely that Dobbins, Helaire and Akers might ALL be there.
