LAD_Brooklyn Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 O'Cyrus Torrence, G Calijah Kancey, DT Brian Branch, S Dorian Williams, LB Jordan Addison, WR Torrence is perhaps the safest OL prospect in this draft class. Those who watched Max Mitchell last year at Lafayette seen him line up next to him at RG. Kancey has the upside to be a top interior pass rusher. Branch is one of the most fascinating chess pieces defensively as a weak side LB, SS and nickle back. Williams is a beast of LB. Addison was the best WR two years ago. Draft eligibility held him back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Will Anderson - I see Nick Bosa, TJ Watt 15-20 sacks per year. Bijan Robinson - Like many difference maker RBs before him he will be tremendous, and then he'll get hurt. So I plant my flag on early success but not long term. Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Had an amazing year two years ago with Garrett Wilson and Olave on the same team. Put up excellent combine numbers in shuttle drills. Devon Witherspoon - Really good looking CB John Michael Schmitz - Will be a good starting center. This was a more difficult excersize than I thought it was going to be. Not an especially good draft, some potentially really good players but not all that many plant the flag types imo. (See video for actual flag planting.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 This is such a hard question this year since so much of this draft is about value and need. Certain guys I love on day 3 or 2 I wouldn't touch on day 2 or 1. But to throw out a couple of names -- I would love to come away with Broderick Jones/Paris Johnson in R1. Joe Tippman in R2. Cincy WR Tyler Scott if available in R4, I think he can be a guy to replace Moore. Dylan Horton, TCU Edge in R5 -- a converted Safety who I think has a lot of potential upside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Anderson - not much to say, one of the better edge prospects to come out in a while 2. Jalen Carter - despite the stuff that happened this offseson, the dude is a straight monster on the field. I think he'll use this all as a wake up call and be the player everyone expects him to be. 3. Bijan Robinson - the best RB prospect in a while IMO. 4. Jordan Addison - reminds me of Garret Wilson 5. Tyree Wilson - might like him better then Carter honestly but I think both have some serious game wrecker attributes to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 All I know is guys who get paid to do this for a living (e.g. Dane Brugler) don’t know jack. It’s one of those rare niche industries where you don’t ever suffer or get called out for being dead wrong, even if the consequences to franchises who make decisions based on similar scouting takes can be catastrophic. Basically, these dudes get paid for churning out these “guides” (trying to copy Kiper’s original method back in the day) just so draft geeks can gorge themselves on more content. The alternate archetype is the Stephen A / Orlovsky / Chris Simms “hot take” dude who has maybe watched 1 cutup of whoever and then proceeds to tell the world this player is “the next” Mahomes or “the next” Jamarcus Russell. I was trying to warn Joe Douglas 2 years ago — before the draft — that, despite the non-stop media fawning and generally accepted perception of a league-wide “consensus” on the player’s “arm talent” — Zach Wilson at #2 overall was an insane bust risk: https://www.ganggreennation.com/2021/4/13/22378730/hype-and-slander-narratives-and-labels-the-media-driven-in-anity-of 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCJet Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 This is a difficult question given the lack of true blue chip prospects and so many "mid round" guys. Personally guys I like better then where they are projected in the mocks Ive seen: JSN (WR) Drew Sanders (LB) Jack Campbell (LB) Tyler Steen (OT) Ricky Stromberg (center) Christopher Smith (safety) I really hope we trade back and JD can just take more swings at positions of need in this draft. I like John Michael Schmitz a ton as a center but I dont see him as the same level of prospect as Tyler Linderbaum or even Creed Humphrey. At the same time people project him in the first round and Stromberg in the 4th and I think the chances of success for each of them is closer then that draft projection.
