D’Andre Swift

Starting to see a lot more mocks with him falling to us. It seems like a lot more people have Dobbins #1 than they did weeks ago. I personally love both, but Swift in this offense would be ****ing deadly.

Just looking at who’s drafting ahead of us, it looks like a guarantee that one will make it to 31/32. It’s just a matter of which one the Dolphins don’t take.

Have no issues with Swift and would be fine with it. I think you have to include Taylor from Wisconsin in 1st round consideration. Any of the three are great backs. This draft has some pretty amazing talent at the position. Teams will upgrade.

Taylor’s right behind those 2 for me. I’d be happy with either one of those 3 if one of the CB’s or LB’s doesn’t fall.

I hate to turn this discussion to CBs and LBs, but I really dislike most of the projected 1st round guys at both positions and the ones I do are way out of reach (Okudah and Simmons).

CBs...

CJ Henderson - Too much Peters for me. Okay in coverage but sucks tit against the run and doesn't seem interested in actually sticking his nose in. Runs his mouth a bit much.

Trevon Diggs - Typical Alabama CB that has sloppy as **** footwork and can't get his head around. Not interested at all.

Kristian Fulton - Seems like an off-the-field incident waiting to happen. Alot like Henderson on the field. Painfully thin as well. Blah

Literally, give me any of the 2nd rounders rated below these clowns.

LB...

Kenneth Murray - He can run run... but that's also his downfall. He sucks at shedding blockers and isn't great at filling gaps and cutback lanes. Reminds me of a faster version of Hitchens. Don't need another one of those on this defense no matter how fast he is.

Patrick Queen - He can run too... but he's equally inept at shedding blockers and getting behind the line unless he shoots a wide-open gap. Case-in-point: watch Auburn offensive lineman destroy him getting 5 yards up field before contact. Hell, their fullback destroyed him 1-on-1. He sucks in man coverage constantly losing assignments. Nope.


I don't know, I just don't see value there. Paulson Abedo would have been the guy I banged the table for but he went back to school. The lines, WR, RB, those are the money spots in round 1 this year IMO.

I would go with who we think will make the biggest impact on our team. If it ends up being an RB or WR, then so be it.

If there is a CB or LB we really like early, go for it. I trust our scouts. But don't force it if we don't love anybody just to fill a need.
